    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.

    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!

    See all

    This was just a silly fun thing to do. Take lots of goofy selfies. Worth a couple of bucks. I'd recommend it. It's fun.

    If you're looking for novelty, this place is better than the UFO museum. Definitely glad I went!

    .3 bucks a person, you can't beat that(you'll pay 5 bucks just to get into the ufo museum and it's all display/reading stuff)

    To us, this was the nicest store in Roswell...so nice we came here twice actually!…read more As soon as you walk into Hangar 209 you are greeted warmly by one of the employees. 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.

    Came in expecting a coffee house and some gifts. Turns out we were all wrong. Coffee was free…read more Staff were super friendly. T-shirts and merchandise had a cool art deco future retro feel. There are Velcro patches w cool Roswell logos. We were impressed with the t shirt designs. Unique designs not found at other shops. Definitely worth a stop.

    International UFO Museum & Research Center

    (482 reviews)

    We visited the International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, NM and had a wonderful time…read morereading up on the UFO sightings and pictures captured. The museum is located in Downtown Roswell and is open daily from 9am-5pm. Admission for adults is $7 and kids 5-7 is $4. Seniors 65+, military and first responders pay $5. There's a gift shop inside to buy alien souvenirs. Be sure to also stop at Roswell UFO Spacewalk museum afterwards for a cool glow in the dark UFO and aliens experience it's only a 2 minute walk from this museum. Happy Yelping :)

    If you are in Roswell, this is a must do. Admission is $7 per person for adults which feels fine…read morefor what you get. You should know going in there's a lot of reading involved and this is not some flashy, high-tech, push a button type of museum. There are lots of displays and documents, timelines and witness accounts, newspaper clippings etc. so if you really want to take it all in, you'll need to give yourself some time. There's a really large research library inside which I found interesting. If you're really into UFO history, investigations, government reports and all of that you could easily spend hours in that section alone. The exhibits themselves are fine, although some of it feels a little dated and again, it's a lot of reading. It's also dog friendly and I'm pretty certain that the UFO exhibit with the life-size aliens kept my dog distracted long enough for me to read most of what I wanted to. There's definitely plenty to keep humans engaged as well if you enjoy learning about the 1947 Roswell incident and everything that followed. The gift shop was really cute; maybe my favorite part. Lots of quirky alien merch, books, shirts, and fun souvenirs. We got a giggly alien head headband in child size that we ended up putting on our dog. It was adorable. I also got a really nice knitted sweatshirt that I probably overpaid for but I love it. If you are looking for something very Roswell you will find it here. This is definitely a place worth visiting, especially if you've already come to the area, just remember to give yourself time and not rush it or expect some sort of interactive/theme park type experience.
