Great little museum with all the interesting Roswell crash info. Price is very family friendly so good for them. Nothing fancy and we were in and out 30-45 minutes depending on how much you read. Enjoyed our visit!

Worth a stop if you are in the area! The beginning of the museum starts with multiple eyewitness accounts of the Roswell UFO incident, several which contradict each other or dont really fit but I guess thats what you get with individual stories. The rest of the museum is a little random with some well made displays and others not so well made... its lacking a bit of the museum quality displays but is still interesting and admission is only $5. You are temperature screened before you enter. They should have an abduction scene for instagram...

Ive wanted to visit this place since I was a kid! It definitely didnt disappoint. There is so much knowledge, and unknown tid bits of information to soak up, it was overwhelming at first. Once you settle in its a roller coaster of proof that we arent alone. If you have any desire to form your own opinion I HIGHLY recommend you go! There isnt anything like this anywhere else The gift shop was full of amazing alien paraphernalia as expected The facility was very clean and organized and they took temperatures at the door to ensure over-all health and wellness. 10 out of 10 for sure. I will be back.

This is THE place to go if you want to have the complete Roswell experience, and youll learn a lot about extra terrestrials thatll make you wonder...

Very cute museum with lots of interesting information. If you like to read all the plaques I would suggest to block off 1-3 hours (depending on how quickly you read and if you read EVERYTHING) as there is LOTS of information posted. If your the type that likes to wander and mainly look at the exhibits and maybe browse the gift shop then 30 min will probably be enough time.It is not a large museum but the exhibits are well done, you can tell they take pride in presenting the information.Also had a cute gift shop with all things alien. Definitely worth the $5 admission if you find yourself in the area.It is right downtown and there are many touristy stores with alien stuff in very close proximity so if you enjoy that kind of thing allow some time to stroll the downtown streets of this small, well known town.

For someone who hasnt looked up much about the infamous 1947 alien crash near Roswell NM, I was pleasantly surprised to find so much juicy and invigorating facts and testimonies from eye witnesses. Every exhibit presents a glorious wonder and exciting experience for the skeptical and non believers to take a second look. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and they take safe and necessary precautions for covid 19. No touch thermal scan is amazing! I highly recommend to anyone who loves to read and explore new and interesting reads!

Ive been here a few times... Wants to check out the museum, twice more subsequent times to visit the gift shop and get some fridge magnets for friends of mine back in Canada.The place is full of information. It may be a stretch to tie all of it to UFO material, but if youre interested in UFOs and museums then this is the place to be.Im not going to say its the greatest thing on planet Earth or anything (pun intended by the way), but its still something that you should check out if you are in Roswell, or even within a few hours drive of Roswell.

Very cool place! A bit tiny but still VERY educational and awesome exhibits. And price of admission cant be beat!

Loved going in, even just to the gift shop. It was fun and eventually will come back to go through everything. The staff was a lot of fun, friendly and helpful. Great merchandise.

Took the family in March of 2020, and we had the best time! We spent a good 2 hours inside reading about UFOs! The truth is out there! Be sure to head to the gift shop before you leave!!

Really fun place to visit. Its only $5 sand takes about an hour.

Lots of info and exhibits to see and read. The gift store has lots to buy.

Great way to kill an hour. Lots of fun photo opportunities. Definitely not Disneyland...more of a cool library with movie props.Dog friendly and they do require covid19 masksFriendly staff and well stocked gift shop

Good fun with lots of interesting displays. They took temps before allowing entry and masks required. We appreciate that extra rate of care. Fun place for the whole family!

About what youd expect. A lot of facts about the area, the sightings, the phenomenon. But a lot of kitschy stuff as well. I thought it was interesting and fun!

Museum is nice for sure! Dont expect anything lavish, as it is small, but for 5$ I cant complain. Has the history of the Roswell Crash and other UFO information. Great for enthusiasts and tourists. Gift shop. 5$ is the perfect price so cant complain!

The most mileage about UFO history in the area with a mixture of photos, paraphernalia and hokey exhibits and alien depictions. Not out-of-this-world but worth checking out if you’re passing through Roswell. Half an hour should be good.

Very cool, of course aliens and info about the Roswell crash, but other ufo phenomenon.

Nice small but interesting and well done museum. It can be visited in half an hour for occasional visitors but it has interesting documents & material and enthusiasts can spend hours inside. Very nice for childrens too. 5$ well spent.

Nice presentation with some very interesting data on the Roswell incident as well as other sightings. They were being very safe under COVID protocols including a temp check before entering museum.

Great experience even though the museum is closed! The folks there are super friendly. Even though I am considered Local now it was a nice stop for our California cousins. Spacewalk here we come!

Had a great time ...tons of information...you will believe...Highly recommend..A must see ....thank you ...

It was great. Very informative. The people are nice.

Great presentation for the Roswell crash. Lots of reading. Would like to see more current UFO info like Ancient Aliens, Coast to Coast, etc. Good museum though.

This is an awesome museum! I wish we could go through without kids and actually read a lot of the information but it was still super fun.

Fun visit. Even with COVID-19 restrictions, and only the gift shop open, it was fun. Great gifts and items for sale, cool shirts and books, and even funny cards and gag gifts. Highly recommend the visit, especially whenever they open up the museum portion!!

Its was excellent. I will be going back when this covid 19 is over .we enjoyed it.

Pretty neat stop if in the area but I wouldnt go out too far out of your way.Lots of good photo ops. Spend an hour or so checking out the many photos and stories posted throughout the museum.Gift shop with many quirky items.Many shops on the street outside the museum.

Its not big but it unique to this area it was $5 to get in totally worth it!

Very impressive Covid precautions, clean, and great service. I hear theyre reopening the museum Monday but just the store (and neat mural) today!

Lived in New Mexico my whole life my first time visiting Roswell it was pretty cool not crazy interesting but it was interesting enough to know the history

Fun look at the Roswell incident. It is pretty small but worth the stop.

Great place to visit!!!! Gift shop has best selection in town!

If you know, you know If you don’t, the alleged crash site is actually 80 miles away from here...cool experience though! But what’s with all the Star Wars stuff?

We visited on 7/6/20. Only the gift shop is open and they have lots of cool stuff and a few aliens to pose with. The man who rang up our purchases was very friendly and helpful. The woman at reception was also very friendly and helpful. However, she stated her personal belief that the virus will be gone after the November presidential election. This made me concerned as I hope that--whatever her beliefs--she continues to be safe outside of work since she does come into contact with people from all over while at work. I also found it insensitive as we have lost someone to COVID-19.

Had a great time. Beth immediately greeted us with a smile and was more than helpful with information about crashes and history around the area. There is alot to look at displays documents with a gift shop that is well stocked with a variety of novelty item. Highly recommend this place if you have any interest in UFOs.

One of those things you do just to say you did it. We came through town on our way to Carlsbad and had to stop and “see the aliens”.The museum is small, but full of research materials and interesting “artifacts”. It only took a few minutes to go through and thankfully was pretty inexpensive. We did spend a little more time and money in the gift shop.It’s fun, but don’t expect to be blown away.

Awesome little stop in roswell! Pet friendly and affordable!

Cool place to visit, cost of admission is low. Definitely recommend if you are looking for things to do in the Carlsbad-Roswell area.

This place is so cool for anybody who loves or is even curious about the history and culture of UFOs and aliens in this country and beyond. It is not kitschy or corny; there is tons of documentation and photos from the 1947Roswell crash, to alleged cover-ups, all the down to artwork and dioramas of aliens in modern pop culture. The price is not bad at all, and for someone who likes to read everything like myself, this place easily has a couple hours worth of things to keep you busy and entertained. Well worth a visit!

Roswell is a weird place... Please never change!! And of course this is a must!!. Tale some time and read the info. They take so much care and pride in their museum. The staff is super kind and they know a lot of stories... Take some time and get to know them.

Quirky, Corny but Fun and Very Informative!!Okay yes, youve read the reviews, and they are all over the place but what Im going to tell you is the truth here. Yes, its quirky, its a UFO MUSEUM !!! Yes Its corny, some of the displays look they are from the 50s. But let me tell you for a mere five dollars, you can learn everything there is to learn about the famous Roswell incident. Yes, there are displays and images from all over the museum even some local native lore... like the Aztec Wood Carving of Famous Ancient Astronauts made famous in Chariots of the Gods...hmm. How about the research center itself with literally tens of thousands of documents on the famous crash with all kinds of investigation reports and findings on the subject. You could spend days alone going through the material. Did I mention the gift shop?? Its huge and you just cant leave without getting a keychain a t-shirt or a poster. The Museum itself is fun with all kinds of funny and macabre displays and images. Its well worth the time and dont forget to take many selfies while youre there or you will regret it. Whether youre in Roswell for the first time or the tenth time, this is one of those cant miss places that every tourist should see.

Plenty of photos and information to read. Cool Alien diorama. To be honest, the visit is worth tbe $5 entrance. If youre looking for an overview of the 1947 Roswell crash, you can get all of the info right here. 45 minutes to 1 hour is enough time here

Love all the information it gives gift shop kind of pricey

Was really Interesting and informative. Glad We came.

The International UFO Museum And Research Center is located in Roswell, New Mexico, United States, in the downtown district, and is focused largely on the 1947 Roswell Crash and later supposed UFO incidents in the United States and elsewhere. It was founded in 1991 as a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization and is located in a former movie theater from the 1930s. The museum contains an extensive library and exhibits all focused on the history of UFO encounters. The catalyst for the museum was the 1947 Roswell UFO incident, in which a rancher, W. W. Mack Brazel, discovered metal debris outside of Roswell, near a giant trench that spanned hundreds of feet. The International UFO Museum and Research Center shares theories about the Roswell incident and other extraterrestrial life. The Museum was founded by Glenn Dennis and opened in September 1991. The museum also has a gift store with UFO-inspired souvenirs.

Nice place to visit, but what I enjoyed most was spending time with my girlfriend Sabreana M-Vela. ️

Funny history and great exhibits. It is worth a visit. However, if you do go, take your time and read everything- even though I am a nonbeliever it is still fascinating.

Fun to explore. Had lots of out there reports as well as military looking documents, newspaper clippings, and exhibits. There were paintings, sculptures, and a moving exhibit with smoke and aliens. It was a great way to pass the time on a trip to visit friends. It has some things that are real, and then some that are not. But all in all, worth the time and money while in Roswell.

Neat little museum if you are into aliens. They also have a gift shop attached.

Cool place! Well worth the admission. Very educational.

This museum was definitely underwhelming. Theres a ton to read (and the posted descriptions have several typos, which is just a pet peeve for me). It could definitely use a 21st century update, and I wouldnt recommend staying long with small kids (theyll be bored quickly). It has a couple of neat photo op areas. The library research center was super cool! It had a ton of media and information as well as a meteorite.If youre in Roswell, its worth the $5 to stop by. I wouldnt go much out of the way to visit.If you go here, definitely check out the UFO Spacewalk down the road also!

So much fun!!! Owner was super nice! Inexpensive and worth the stop!! I had so much fun!!!

Neat little stop. Not much to the museum but something to do when passing through town. The gift shop across the street seem to have better prices for memorabilias.

Thats fun place even if you believe or not.By the way, I have seen several times.Unidentified..., How identify it? ;^)

The museum is great and the information it has is very informative.

Im an extraterrestrial enthusiast and I was pleasantly pleased with the unique experience of this museum. Its kid friends so it doesnt git too far into details that would prove startling. Its a must see in Roswell and i left with some great purchases from the souvenir shop.

On a recent trip to Texas, we did a day trip to Roswell to explore around and take in the phenomenon of UFOs and the crash. This was an obvious stop to see what it was all about and I would say that I wasnt totally disappointed. The price for admission is very very reasonable only being $5 and there is a lot of free parking all around the area with a very short walk. The lady at the front desk was very nice and polite and got us admitted pretty quick.To call this a museum and research center I kind of think is not the best description for it as it is really just a giant room with displays along the perimeter. Its more of a Roswell UFO gallery which a lot of good information regarding the event and the phenomenon. There are a lot of news clippings and documents from the crash that lets you see the history unfold from the start.As you move along the gallery it moves away from the crash and into the UFO sightings across the world with a lot of interesting models, artifacts, and photographs from around the globe. There are a few famous displays of aliens from movies and TV and a large display in the middle of a UFO and alien greys that come alive and give a short show every 45 minutes or so.At the end of the walk through the gallery you come to a gift shop full of all the little knickknacks that you would expect to find from toys, posters, shirts, food, and even some books, namely autographed copies of Fire in the Sky which is one of the more famous accounts of an abduction. I ended up getting some stickers and poster reprints of the original newspaper articles of the crash which to me are the famous articles from Roswell.Overall for the price is incredibly reasonable for what you get and the information on display is nice for a UFO fan. The gift shop was pretty neat as well with a lot of little things for the kids or as souvenirs. If you are on the UFO tour I would say this is certainly a place to stop in for the start and get the hype going.

Loved the museum and priced right!I would honestly give five stars if it werent for the person who issued us our admittance stickers. After asking us how old our daughter was and I was paying, I asked if he ever encountered situations where the parents attempt to lie about the kids age to get a cheaper price only to have the child proudly state that they are older. He was quick to say Of course! But you know who does it the most? The Hispanics.” After giving him no response, he continued to give more examples of his prejudice.I do not think his behavior is indicative of the staff as a whole but he was the only individual I interacted with.To the museum staff/owners, my visit was on 03/18/20 at 11:25.

A lot of reading. We spent more time in the gift shop. If its out of your way I wouldnt go the extra mile.

Wish the museum portion was open but still a fun little stop in the gift shop and surrounding store fronts.

This is pretty amazing looking museum with lots of cool artifacts and evidence about what happened.

Good place for the alien enthusiasts.

They need more content, but the price and length are about right. The content they did have was intriguing. Prepare to read! Neat little place if you like UFO stuff. They should partner with MUFON and up the status and professionalism of the museum. Bring it into the 21st century. like a modern museum. I think UFOs deserve it. Roswell is a cool little town.

Has a lot to look at and read. Very interesting stuff. And some great photo ops. Worth checking out at least once.

Fun little trip for the family

Really enjoyed the information and displays.

Super place. Nice recommendations as well. Will be back

The beginning of the exhibits is interesting but the other 75% is unimpressive. Barely worth the $3 admission.

It was an interesting and informative museum. It makes you really wonder for other being. There is a $5 admission fee and the attendant there were friendly and nice.

It was entertaining to be sure. A fun and probably necessary stop if you are visiting Roswell. The gift shop is perfect for all your little green friend memorabilia.

Pretty neat little place, only 5.00 admission. A ton of literature on the area 51 crash, self guided, fun for all ages

Very awesome!

This is totally worth the stop if youre driving through Roswell. As others have said, its mostly photos, newspaper clippings, and interviews but its a good, geeky way to spend your time especially if you grew up loving sci-fi. And its ridiculously cheap.

This place proves the crash was real. Take the time to read the witness statements. It proves to me what I already know was a big government cover up

Very friendly staff. Nice exhibit. Alot of information. Great pricing.

So uhh, the ENTIRE museum is closed but theyll let you come in and buy their stuff? Whoever owns this establishment.. your greed is showing. What a waste of time. Dont go here until the exhibits are open.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The price is right for the content you get. There is so much to read so be prepared to spend some time there. The vidoes were good. The gift shop has lots of items so you can bring something home for everyone.

First off it’s 5$ for entry, and you support a great community museum, it is small but the exhibits are nice and informative and there are a lot of real photos and original art. You can tell it was put together with a lot of love! Definitely worth the 5$ and you can come and go all day! Be sure to check out the gift shop as well there are cute cheesy gift shop items and you support the museum.

One of a kind stop for anyone interested in UFOs. Gift shop has a decent selection of items, but anything you cant find there can be found a short walk away as its surrounded by tons of UFO themed stores.The museum has a great selection of displays that not only tell the story of the Roswell Crash but also other UFO related topics & cases. In addition to the museum exhibits, there is a decent research library connected to the building.If youve never visited Roswell before this is the 1 place that you have to visit even if your on a tight schedule. You cant visit Roswell and not visit the UFO museum.

Super fun museum!!!! To be honest I had never heard of the Roswell Cover-up stuff, but we were driving home through New Mexico and my husband was dying to go. So we stopped in, wasnt expensive at all! They are awesome and give discounts to veterans/military/fire fighters/police officers. I think we spent like a good 2 hours there.. they give you a sticker and its good for all day and you can exit and re-enter the museum all day. The staff was super friendly!!!! Lots of awesome pictures, replicated artifacts from the wreck and lots of history.

A bit cheesy but we had a fun time.

Here in had a summer organic chemistry class starting so i went as far as roswell and went back no actually continued onto dallasstopped here to see the aliens there were no aliens to look at shucks i would love to meet aliens

Museum was closed until further notice. Gift shop open but way over priced

Listed as open, but only the gift shop was. People dont come here for the gift shop!!!! People can get COVID-19 from looking at things in a museum, but they cant from touching merchandise that other people are touching????

Only the gift store was open. Museum closed due to Covid19. Similar items in the gift stop as you would see in other stores on Main Street but a tad more pricey.

Unfortunately the main part is closed because of covid, but the gift shop was cool.

Having a discount for First Responders was awesome! Staff was friendly, and we enjoyed learning about the Roswell Incident.Fun place to spend a couple bucks and walk around for an hour or so

The UFO museum was a really fun spot to visit.its only a $5 entrance fee, and $3 for active military or veterans. The staff is incredibly friendly with a smile as you walk in the door. The front desk gentleman was very polite and orderly. This place is pet friendly so dont be afraid to bring your pup. They even gave her a snack. Higly recommend if in Roswell.

Such an amazing kitschy little place. Ladies at the front desk and gift shop were so kind and helpful too. Thanks for an amazing experience! ️

For $5, it’s a great place to read up on Roswell’s history. Some cool antique things to look at and lots of info on ufo sightings/findings etc. It is kinda small, but we enjoyed looking around. The gift shop has a variety of goodies. Staff is nice and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping in.

Okay, so this UFO thing isnt going to be for everyone but Id recommend having a gander. The price is cheap, its a good way to get out of the heat and if you have any interest in the subject whatsoever youll find this place interesting. Ive read the books, I have an interest in the subject and was expecting a lot of cheesiness. I was surprised. You can spend an entire day in here reading the displays. Probably more. Along with the well known lore and nonsense there is a spattering of really good information on what happened outside Roswell in 1947. Youll see cheesy dioramas that add a good entertainment value. I liked it. Also, should you be interested, their library and research rooms completely took me by surprise. They probably have a copy of EVERYTHING ever published on the subject and it was something to see all this documentation in one place. I left pleased with it all.

One thing you can say about Roswell is that they embrace their controversial history! This museum is a prime example, although not overly kitchy like so many other sights around the town. We thought the exhibit was very well presented, and encouraged patrons to draw their own conclusions about the famous Roswell event. They have a number of interactive displays, and there are lots of pictures and copies of official documents and reports. They even had a section of fake pictures as well as drawings by children. The animated spaceship and ETs was another lighthearted display, and Im sure children would love it! Our biggest disappoointed was the lack of any of recently (within the last 3 years) de-classified information. Perhaps that is in the works. Would recommend if you have time, as its informative and thought-provoking in many ways.

We had fun, kids had fun, and we will definitely go again. Also, the big UFO moves every 30 mins, so dont miss that. Lights and fake smoke, pretty cool.

So much fun for such a small entrance fee! My oldest son, almost 4, asked to go back multiple times after leaving. Hint - stop in the attached library and ask for the free kids packet. Lots of interesting things for adults as well.

Nice little museum and just the right thing to pass time in Roswell, since that town doesnt have that much to see. You get a lot to see about the Roswell incident and some more partly odd things about UFOs and Aliens. For a fee of 5$ and very friendly staff its definitely worth a visit.

Nice little place

Museum was really cool. I had a great time. A little underwhelming, probably just because Roswell was on my Bucket list. They closed the Crash Site to the Public so it kind of ruined the trip.

Lots of awesome little alien inspired gifts

Interesting place to check out. Ella was super nice checking us in and telling us about the place!
