    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.

    Not counting our hotel , or shopping or eating , this was the activity we spent the most money on…read morein our time in Roswell, and it was by far the least worth it. I was really taken aback because of all the good Yelp reviews. I don't know if I am missing something or I came on a bad day but this is definitely not worth it in my opinion, especially when there are so many other fun things to do close by. When you enter The Alien Zone there is a tiny gift shop in the front and the girl behind the counter was watching a movie on her laptop. We asked for two tickets and paid $17.32. She pointed to the curtain and said "You're fine to go back and check it out. You can touch all of the props and take pictures." Once we walked through the curtain, I thought we were getting pranked. There was a wall full of toys like aliens and rats and spiders but they are all behind netting that has been zip tied together, so you can't touch any of it. Then you see a few displays with aliens that look like they are left over from some old escape room or something. Underwhelming is an understatement. We figured since we had already paid, we might as well try to have some fun, but it is so dark in the room that It's difficult to get a good photo. There are only two rooms and once we got into the second room it got really really warm. At the very end they have a lab coat that you can put on for photo ops I guess but we were literally sweating, so we just left. If you are reading reviews to decide which things are worth doing and which things are not, definitely put this on your not list. The UFO spacewalk is just a block or two away, it's less expensive, and way more fun. There are also plenty of alien photo ops all around the city, including the visitor center, that don't cost a penny.

    This place ruled! It's a fun tourist spot for all sorts of silly alien photos. There were quite a…read morefew "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

    We really enjoyed the Roswell UFO Spacewalk in Roswell, NM located in downtown Roswell…read more This museum is a MUST visit and be sure to wear your glow in the dark alien swag. Strollers are not allowed inside the museum so you'll have to carry your baby when you get the tour. The museum is open 7 days a week from 10am-6pm. Tickets are $5 for general admission. Be sure to also check out the International UFO Museum & Research Center afterwards. It's only a 2 minute walk from this location. Happy Yelping :)

    You don't exactly stumble into Roswell Spacewalk expecting NASA-level realism you go because you're…read moreready to space it up and have a good time. And I'll tell you what... they've got the sci-fi sounds humming, lights dancing, and just enough weirdness to make you feel like you took a wrong turn somewhere past Earth. Is it a little generic? Sure. But if you walk in with the right attitude and maybe a drink or two whispering bad decisions in your ear it turns into a pretty dang fun ride. It's the kind of place where you catch yourself grinning for no good reason and thinking, "Well... this ain't right, but it ain't wrong either." And look, I'm just gonna say it there were a lot of folks in there enjoying themselves, good energy all around, and yeah... easy on the eyes, not gonna lie. The whole thing felt light, playful, a little goofy but in a way that works. It's not trying to change your life, it's just trying to give you a good time, and buddy, sometimes that's all you need. By the time you walk out, you're not asking if it was perfect you're just nodding your head like, "Yep... that made the list."
