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!

Good place to take pictures and get some souvenirs. This place needs some serious revamping as many of the props have broken parts or some are just really dirty/worn out. There's an alien cafe in the back of the store but I'm not sure if it's only for show or if actually serve any food. The play area for kids was also closed when we went. This places has potential but it honestly needs a make over.

Bartender give me a slime martini.

Fun little place for pictures. By far the cheapest place to get shirts and other alien trinkets.

Great stop while in Roswell! Great location on Main street near the UFO McDonalds and right down…read morethe street from the UFO Museum. They have a great selection of items, some you wont find anywhere else. Chuck was so helpful. We couldn't find some shirts in the right size and he was quick to find them. There are also some great photo spots right outside the store - with aliens, the mural, or the UFO prop. The prices are fair value (some items were a little more expensive then elsewhere) and in my opinion worth it.

Our first cheesy alien tourist gift shop stop at Roswell! It's located on the northern end of Main…read moreStreet and worth a stop for the photo ops in addition to all the alien themed gifts inside! There is a large mural on the outside wall by Eddie Macias. A local artist whose artwork you will find all throughout the city! There are also alien and UFO statues you can take pictures with on the roof and right outside the building. Cassie was a gem and made us visitors feel welcome and gave us great tips about the city and was SUCH a good representative for the store and Roswell. Thank you so much Cassie for the great experience! The shirt designs and tie dyes as well as the magnets behind the register you can ONLY find at this shop. If you are interested in unique gifts I recommend asking what else can only be found at this shop!

I was in town visiting family and of course I had to check the UFO museum out! Everything in…read moreRoswell is super cheap if you're from CA. So the $7 entrance fee was a super deal! 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.

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 :)
