    Very interesting! The exhibits are amazing. Seems to be an area that attracts extraterrestrials. Nice set up. Easy to navigate.

    Forget the aliens! Come in and spend a few hours in this fascinating space. Besides contemporary art, including paintings and mixed media, there are historical artifacts . An impressive offering !

    We stopped in for dinner during a one night stay in Roswell. The restaurant was very busy (usually a good sign). We were prepared to wait, but were seated quickly. They had several local beers, including a nitro stout on tap that was very good. The meat and cheese tray was nearly a meal for two by itself and we shared an entree salad. Our server knew the menu well and was really friendly. We were not rushed to order. I left a favorite jacket on my chair that we didn’t notice until arriving home two days later. We contacted them and they were kind enough to ship it to me at no charge. Overall, a lovely place, great food, service and experience.

    Interesting places to visit if you are in the area such as state parks, bicycle trails and auto museum

    While we did not get to spend a lot of time in Roswell, we will definitely be back to explore more. We were only disappointed in that we did not get to see a UFO or any aliens…. Hahaha. Seriously though, there’s a lot that we want to see and do in the Roswell area so a return trip is definitely on the list.

    Drove out there on a cold day. Found it to be a great wildlife refuge. Extensive drives and a variety of birds. Too cold to hike but nice stop.

    This was the highlight of my visit to Roswell. Amazing collection of works from the Roswell Artist-in-Residence program from the last several decades. You could spend hours here, there is so much to see. The staff are wonderful and are available to answer any questions you have. This is why you should visit Roswell, instead of all the UFO stuff.

    Such a fun experience! It is something you can go through in less than 5 minutes, but for the price it's worth it (I don't know if it's always the case, but we were able to go in as many times as we wanted during the weekend). You can tell they put so much work and effort into it and they deserve the recognition! My kiddos loved it and hated it, my oldest is 6 and he got a bit scared mainly because aliens are not his thing, but still went through it 3 times. But I also saw younger kids going in that were absolutely in awe with it.

    Absolutely wonderful exhibit of Legos ... Better than any actual Lego store. All Legos have lights and moving parts. Fun scavenger hunt to enhance the visit with an ending in the bricklayer room where you can create your own! Not to miss!

    We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon touring this museum. Donna was the best tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and really brought the house and its history to life. Highly recommend if you’re into local history.

    Right in town but a quiet place to enjoy nature. It is a great place to spend some quiet minutes at the end of a day of travel.

    We were there mid-week and some of the "Alien" shops and stops were not open, but we had a good time at the ones that were. Got lots of fun photos. We also went to the Bitter Lake wildlife refuge just outside of town and saw thousands of water fowl coming in to roost on the water before dusk - of course that's best done during migration season.

    This was a nice zoo for a quick stop, not very big. They had some nice animals. The enclosures were a bit small and certainly not very nice with lots of room to roam or activities for the animals. The people we met were nice and it was a pretty location. Nice picnic tables and playground there as well. Worth a stop but would benefit from some updating.

    This was a fantastic stop!! They had a LARGE display of fully decorated doll houses shown styles fro the early 20th century to late in the century. There were some decorated for Christmas. They also had a display of villages like one might set up for Christmas, but it was being packed away for the summer. There were enough buildings still on display to rearrange on a large table to make 8 or 10 city blocks of a town! Then there were other complete dioramas in this style. There was a video running showing how to make doll house furnishings with a 3D printer. Best of all, there is no admission fee, but donations or gift shop purchases are greatly appreciated.
