    This place ruled! It's a fun tourist spot for all sorts of silly alien photos. There were quite a few "sets" and photo ops, which were all pretty funny. We were laughing the whole time. It had a strange smell, but we think it might have been from the recent flood? Otherwise, we loved hanging out with the aliens there

    My son loved taking photos with all of the alien props

    Megan was so helpful. Great place for photo props only $8 an entrance. She will help get awesome photos! At the end of the day the photos will be the evidence left of the UFO festival and UFO activities. Please is easily accessible. Great place to stop by overall.

    Friendly staff and good value, the photo ops were so fun. We had a crew of seven people ranging from 5-52 years old and everyone enjoyed it!

    Some of the cool scenes you get to take pictures with!!

    So many cool props to take pictures with! My girlfriend and I spent an hour getting such great pictures. The owners will come help you take whatever pictures you want, they are so helpful and friendly!! You've got to check it out!!

    The owner was funny and engaging. She even gave a discount for the kids stuff...just because she said which I find very refreshing in today's high prices. It was amazing and very fun. Not just for the kids but for us adults as well. It let me be a kid again. All the displays are hilarious and all have great detail. Will come back!

    If you want hilarious alien-themed photo ops, stop here after visiting the UFO museum. This was one of the highlights of my first Roswell visits fifteen years ago so I wanted to come back with my family this summer. The store and photo op area are due for a refresh but it was still fun for the entire family. Even our dog was welcome in the antics. Cheesy fun so don't take it too seriously.

    The entrance

    This place is more of a tee shirt shop and they do have a museum that we didn't go in. The shop has lots different shirts to choose from. In the back there are some props you can get pictures with and check out. The town has lots of aliens to get pictures with. The McDonald's even gets into the craze.

    It is very cheesy but so is Roswell! I had read the bad reviews, yes it is cheesy but for $5 a person ($3 a kid under 5 free) what do you expect. We love the alien props especially the one where you can pretend you are upside down. The hours on yelp are wrong. Google the store and look at the official website. The day we came yelp said 10 am but store website said 11 and they opened at 11. It was a great, super cheesy ending to our Roswell adventures and my kids loved it. The souvenir section was not impressive but that's not what we came to the store for!

    We walked into the shop Wednesday and were greeted with "We're closing in 10 minutes". Well, that lost you a sale! Turned around and left.

I believe they even offered us free coffee and they are dog friendly so we were also greeted by some adorable pups! I love that and I especially love any space that makes our dog feel welcome. The vibe and aesthetic are relaxed and luxurious and it's immediately apparent that they're selling very good quality merchandise. I spent a lot of time looking at their custom shirts and sweaters and my husband spent a lot of time looking at their beef jerky. They have a local line called abduction jerky that had an amazing variety of flavors. On our first visit we were still checking out the downtown area so we grabbed some snacks and drinks and headed out but after touring the town a bit more and realizing what a gem this store actually is, we headed back before we ended our day so that we could pick up some more items. How often do you find a shop with ONLY 5 star reviews? This place is a gem. It really feels like they have something for everyone. If you're exploring the area and you're looking for a shop that's a bit more thoughtful, welcoming and well done, this is the place.

As soon as we decided to come to New Mexico - I knew I had to come Roswell to the UFO museum. Since I am a bit obsessed with the Roswell incident. You know the weather balloon crash. So I get in the museum and I start reading everything and listening to all the testimony. And I actually started to believe that it wasn't a weather balloon. Until I read the statement from the funeral parlor director. Supposedly the army officers requested 4' caskets. Really - aliens? And your big concern is the size of the casket? They can't go in a regular size one?? Besides we all know that the aliens get stored in the lab at Area 51. In glass jars.

All you have to do is be curious to come here. They have everything on display chronologically, some interesting visual displays, and it's a self guided with lots of captivating stories and tangible materials as it relates to the existence of aliens and UFO's. I went through here in about an hour. It would take you much longer if you read everything on display. Lots of the stories on the timeline are fascinating. I thought it was well put together and should be thrilling for the alien enthusiasts. After checking out all the museum displays, there's a decent sized gift shop offering various types of merchandise. I got a cool fridge magnet as a souvenir for visiting this infamous museum. If you ever come to Roswell, whether you are into or believe in aliens, you have to visit the UFO Museum. It represents what Roswell is known for, and it's just an overall interesting experience with everything chronologically displayed nicely.
