A great time & will revisit. They offer engaging (history-based) VR shows with fun flight (think bird's eye & dragon flight views) & a space station experience for the whole family (& especially kids/teens--wish I had this opportunity then!!). We didn't have time to join a tour, visit the other shuttle, or partake of the other options but those are on the list for our next visit. Be warned: This place is also a LEGO-lover's dream. Cheers! read more

Of the alien attractions in downtown Roswell, this was my favorite one- it was my first VR experience, and I thought it was pretty cool to experience. The kids liked it as well. They also have a Lego museum that's next door that we did not do, and offer alien tours where they drive you around. Might try one of those other ones the next time. read more

Had a great experience!!! We are not residents of New Mexico and thought this would be great to add to our trip to Roswell. Definitely a good pick after going to the International UFO Museum. Super awesome staff took good care of my father who hasn't got the best stability and uses a rolling style walker. This was also his first VR experience (he's 77), they were so patient with him as well as checked on him throughout the experience. I just wish the "pods" had better seating but this was really fun. My husband and two sons watched both the videos if there were more departures they probably would have stayed for all of them. The gift shop was more geared towards the littler travelers. Definitely recommend! read more

Outstanding!!! This was inevitable of the best stops in Roswell. The VR was amazing. My kiddos loved it so much they wanted to watch it again right after. The story was good and we only saw one of two movies they show. read more

Spaceport Roswell - Joining the mother ship - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

My son enjoyed this so much. Came to Roswell to visit family last week. My son who is almost ten did they research and discovered this place. We did the 1947 adventure and it was so cool. We will definitely be back when we visit our family next time read more

Very cool place! Something fun to do in Roswell! We got 2 options of programs to choose from. We chose the shorter 20 minute option, that was the Roswell incident from the alien point of view. They allowed our small toy poodle inside with us. Maybe because we were the only one's in there? It was like we were entering a spaceship, and waited for our "attendant" who was dressed the part to take us back to where we were hooked up with the virtual reality glasses and got a full show, it was just like you were there, when you look around, you get different view points like you're walking around and on the ship! The story was corny, but fun and good, and they have a nice little gift ship inside! read more

Stopped in Roswell to check out the fun stuff to do. This place is awesome for inexpensive fun. Highly recommend. Store owner very personable. The visitor center told us about it and we're glad they did! read more

Had a fun time I would suggest here for family fun - not too expensive and it is something everyone can enjoy read more

This is a vr experience. There are 2 different ones. It was an interesting thing to do. Didn't hate it. Staff was very friendly

Wow we really enjoyed this experience. We did both shows (you get a discount). One note--get the earplugs/headphones to cancel out the outside noise and "echo" that can be annoying. The apollo 11 experience was our fav. the 3d VR was so real I felt like I was gonna fall 1000 ft and kill my real self back in the lab like the movie "the matrix". I won't say much more to spoil your experience but don't miss the Apollo 11 experience. The 1947 was a bit "hokey" and more tourist like roswell conspiracy theory but still entertaining. read more

Okay so this was an interesting place, curiosity brought me here. I did like the decor and the "crew mate" aspect. One important note is that there are NOT scheduled "flight" times. You CAN walk in and just do the 20 minute VR. That being said if they do honor reservations (which I'm sure they do) if you have a party of more than 4 i would reserve ahead of time since a room is usually 4 headsets. My lack of stars was due to noise and video quality. I don't have much experience with VR but the experience shown was the quality of maybe Skyrim? Like low resolution video game where you control where your facing via moving and you can't see arms like you would in a game. The POV is more of a floating 3rd perspective until the very end. Honesty the quality and sort of glitches in motion kind of made it funny to me? In a weirdly endearing way. But I feel like most people would expect a better quality, I know I did. The main problem is the noise. It's all just cubicles. They do provide ear buds free of charge if you're having trouble hearing but that doesn't erase the problem really. I had to push them in even closer and it was still noisy from other guests. It should really be separate rooms to try to break the noise up a bit. It was also my third try and the emptiest I had seen it that day. I avoided going when any young children were around for that very reason and it was still pretty noisy. I wonder if they had captions available, I definitely would've opted in. I did manage to fit my glasses in the viewfinders but they were very small Harry Potter esque ones that didn't really bulge from my face. If you must use glasses i would request they try to fit it on you before you commit to the experience. At $15 this is the most expensive Roswell attraction I've heard of / been to. I feel like $10 would be a bit more reasonable given the quality of the video and space but it's a business that needs to make profit. read more

Very Outerspace feeling. Even the workers uniforms. My dad and I went on a Tuesday or Wednesday so it wasn't very busy. We really enjoyed the virtual experience. We picked the 1947 UFO crash. read more

It was AMAZING! The customer service was really good! And they used a vr headset that cost 200$! They really put work and care into their business. And there is a gift shop with all kinds of goodies! read more

If you like VR but don't like the wires, this experience is for you. Step into the cockpit of alien space craft and crash land on Earth. See through the eyes of an alien and experience what it must've been like. read more

I had higher expectations. I didn't find the graphics very great and the stools you sit on for the duration were uncomfortable. The employees were very kind and helpful. The gift store was cool with planet stuffy's and a ton of space LEGO. I'm not sure I would recommend it to a friend. read more

You can pick 1 of 2 journeys and then go sit in a mini cubicle to enjoy the VR that last about 25-30 min. The graphics weren't all the great (not sure if having glasses had anything to do with it ‍) and the head set wasn't too comfy. There's 4 people per cubicle so be careful when moving around your chair so you don't hit one another or crash into the walls. "Flights" are not prescheduled so you can come whenever and enjoy. Although a unique experience I felt like there were better attractions in the town. read more

Couldn't hear anything but the employee talking loudly to other customers & blasting country music! We were given earbuds and only one side worked in both mine & my husband's & it was so quiet, didn't help at all! I almost just took off my headset. Total WASTE of time & $38.00. We were ripped off! read more

Stopped through Roswell on a trip through the Midwest, wanted to capture all the UFO/alien experience we could. Spaceport--a virtual reality center that opened late 2020--was great! The staff is friendly, dressed in Star Trek-esque gear, and provide the full virtual, traveling-to-outer-space experience. Your VR goggles are relatively comfortable, and guide you through a space simulation depicting (one version/story) of the Roswell 1947 crash. When wearing the VR, I recommend you look all around you--there are even stars/events above and below your field of view! Great experience, would definitely recommend for any UFO enthusiast. read more

Walked into this place out of curiosity and did not leave disappointed. The crew was in character the entire experience making it feel very authentic and welcoming. Did the Roswell VR experience and thought the production was creative and funny. Thank you Zaiden for making our overall experience immersive and memorable! read more

Spaceport Roswell - Virtual Reality Centers Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

Awesome experience! Not much for photography of course is all VR. The price is awesome for only 13.50 a person. Well worth!

It was great. Very nice place with cool experience. People are friendly and very interesting. A must visit when u are in Roswell!!!

Love the Spaceport. Experience is fun and staff is friendly. Definitely a must see in Roswell. Good to support a small business as well.

This is a must whEn visiting Roswell. Conveniently located off Main. The host was nice but the VR was unreal!! I really felt Ike I was in the experience. Totally worth the price and the time out of the day to check it out!! read more

This experience was very disappointing. I thought it would be neat; however, the headsets were uncomfortable, the virtual presentation subpar and short for the money. Generally, I don't leave reviews but really don't want anyone to waste money if on a limited budget. Felt $15 was way too much. read more

Amazing experience Charles was super friendly and helpful and made the experience very immersive, my favorite was the 1947 experience but it is definitely worth doing the Apollo 11 mission as well you get a discount if you do both,I definitely recommend it. read more
