You definitely want to stop by with time to spare. A lot of articles and information to read from. This isn’t just a stop and check in. Love everything they had and the gift shop was great!

If you are in Roswell, why arent you doing cool retro alien stuff? This is a great gift shop with amazing photo opportunities, make the most of being in the alien capitol and visit these guys.

Cute gift shop. Enjoyed taking fun pictures more than things to buy as selection was minimal.

When budgeting for this stop on your next journey, I recommend saving at least $100 for merch alone. T-shirts, key chains, stickers, educational books are all a must have! And don’t forget to check out nearby businesses for alien themed snacks and beverages!

Neat place to stop. Lots of fun, life size, alien diaramas. The price is cheap too. They had some of the funnier t-shirts in town and good quality as well.The staff person there was very nice. The kids will love it.

The museum was amazing and this is why Im giving this 3 stars, but they dont carry baby size clothes nor plus size clothes for souvenirs and the cafe was closed due to COVID Im assuming and this is also why they are only getting 3 stars.We would definitely visit again just to see the museum and hopefully get to eat at the cafe.

This place has so much potential but they seem to lack a creative director.It looks like some places they started to draw something and they fully gave up. So around the ceiling there is a bunch of drawings that are uncompleted and that just gives the space a weird unfinished vibe.The place just really needs a good cleaning up. It’s really dusty the floors are dirty. The figures are all covered in filth and some of the foam on the creatures are poking out.Aside from that the space is super affordable their prices on stuff isn’t too crazy. You have to pay $3 admissions fee if you want to check out the exhibits with aliens and space creatures.I strongly suggest they replace the black lights in the last room because it is very faded. You can’t really see any of the utopia clearly because it’s just a dark room with a small black light.

We had never been to Roswell and done the alien thing. Its pretty cool if youve never done it, even if you arent super into the conspiracy theory. We bought T shirts but for a small fee, you can go into the back and take alien selfies in different setups. Its pretty cool.

If you like Aliens and taking selfies with them, this is the place for you!

This is a very interesting store, very inexpensive compared to other local shops. They have an indoor playground and the photo op section you can pay for. We got a voucher on Yelp which is $10 for a $20 credit. The girl at the front was also very polite. It appears they used to sell food in the back of the store or perhaps during their peak times.It is a very old establishment with way more potential if they just cleaned and dusted the place? Especially the playground, just get a ladder and a rag. There is a black light lit area towards the end of the photo op section and they also need to buy more black lights and just make it easier to see in there...I was disappointed I couldn’t see all of the details of whoever put this exhibit together. I realize this place is old and people will walk in no matter, but it could definitely be cleaned up.

This was the highlight of Roswell! More so than the museum! We had so much fun in their area 51 room! Bring your camera its a blast!

The kids have fun when we stop there. The owners are a bit on the short spoken, rude side.

Another stop while on our cross country trip and it was fun. Me and my wife had a blast posing and taking weird pics with the aliens located here. I will say Roswell in general was a bit of a bust as I expected a citywide alien fest and you get some alien advertising, alien eyes on light posts, a museum, and a few souvenir places. We ended up visiting the museum and Alien Zone before leaving town early.

Great place for alien photo opps

Re
Review №18

Lots of fun photo ops! Only dissapointing that some of the aliens appear to be somewhat destroyed over time. Luckily it wasnt well lit to hid those imperfections. It looks like a lot of people didnt respect the rules they have posted everwhere. Like dont stand on the table and dont draw on the walls. Which ruins it for others. Had to zoom in to avoid the MANY signs saying these things. Personally, I think they should raise the price a little just to fix the problems. Its not a huge amount of photo ops, but enough that its frustrating that the aliens have been partially destroyed. There is a gift shop of stuff like toys and shirts as well.

After fifteen minutes in Roswell my interest had dwindled to nil...and then we stumbled upon Alien Zone. Toss down a few dollars and the lady will let you in the back where they have a bunch of thrown together sets that make for a great photo op. I havent laughed that hard in a long time. You can take as much time as you want since theres no one to rush you along. It was a great ninety minute killer and we had a ton of fun. Id totally do it again.

Review №25

It only costs $2 to enter the Alien Zone but the person at the front desk was on the phone for twenty minutes not taking our ticket, the exhibits were in disrepair, and some werent lit properly. The worst of the three alien tourist traps in Roswell. Cheap enough to spend fifteen minutes at though

Za

Probably my favorite thing we did in Roswell! Fun photo ops, and VERY affordable shirts and souvenirs. I will definitely be back!

Review №27

Of all the alien stuff to see in Roswell. Alien zone was my favorite. They have all these little alien sets built so you can take pictures with them. We had a ridiculous time! So many insane photos. Just use your imagination and be a kid again for a little while.

Review №29

Its kitschy and campy, on purpose, of course. The alien models are dirty and dingy but its fun and goofy to take pictures with them. Wish it was a bit more clean and kept up. Is it worth a 2-hour drive? absolutely not? Is it worth a visit if you are doing a Roswell-run?Absolutely.

Interesting place in general. I give it bonus points for making the displays and using recycled materials. Not expensive

Review №31

We had a super time taking pictures here! There are about two dozen spots where they have scenes set up and you can take really crazy pictures. Theres the alien autopsy, the upside-down room, the UFO crash site, the alien in the cafe and lots of others. Theres even a place where to kids can play with tubes and slides.

Review №35

Its just as cheesy as you expect.Spoiler alert; there are no aliens here. But if youre in the Roswell area and walking down the alien tourist trap section of Roswell, youre going here anyway. Its simply best to set expectations in case you were expecting something, extraordinary.This is mostly a place to see some cheap looking alien exhibits and grab some souvenirs. Nothing more, nothing less. Im not going to hit this place too hard for that. It technically delivers exactly what one would expect. But lets not sugar coat it.Regardless of reviews, youre going to visit anyways. After all, why else did you go to Roswell?EDIT, RESPONSE TO OWNER REPLY:This wasnt meant to be a negative review. Simply factual observations based on first hand experience. No need to take it personal. As you stated, this is what you were going for. You cant expect a 5 star review for being popular and doing this for a long time.

Review №36

Walked in here, quickly looked around. Took literally 3 steps forward, turned around and walked out the door.EDIT: To the response of the Alien Zone owner:Just because you think you have all that you have doesnt mean that its going to satisfy everyone! Everyone is different, they see things differently and unfortunately what I saw didnt satisfy me.Ive read your responses to other reviewers who gave you 3 stars or lower and you come across kind of defensive!To be honest, I could careless what you say about my review. I just reviewed the place because I received an email saying to review the places Ive been to.

When you are in Roswell you want to take pictures with aliens or at least get some souvenirs. This is probably one of the biggest in town and right there on the main street a few blocks from the museum. You can find many unique designs of shirts and they have an instagramable area in the back where you can take pictures. It is very cheesy, but thats why you are visiting Roswell.

Review №41

Alien Zone is the cheesiest, most ridiculous place Ive ever been to but oh my gosh my husband and I had so much fun here. They have a bunch of different scenes set up for you to take corny pictures with aliens, ufos and such. When we visited there was nobody else there so we were able to just move freely and enjoy ourselves. Great place to take some fun pictures for really cheap.

Not worth the time, minimal displays and you can find all of the merchandise online for a lot cheaper. Signs on everything saying do not touch ruin any decent pictures you might try to take.

Review №74

The girl at the desk was very rude. I went in asked if this place was something my kids would like to do and of course she acted annoyed and said NO its a gift shop and the area 51 next door is just a bunch of aliens posing and you can take pictures with them. There was clearly a playground in there and the my kids would have loved taking pics with the aliens. I didnt bring them in though because she clearly didnt like kids. She needs a different job that doesnt make her a miserable ****

Great spot with fun pic areas, the exhibits are hilarious and awesome to take photos in, there is also a gift shop with classic gift shop memorabilia, staff were nice. Worth it to add to your list if your into the whole roswell aliens conspiracy etc. Otherwise its not a museum or anything so dont expect facts or information. Just a fun place to visit.

Lady at the entrance was rude and seemed annoyed to have customers, and the displays are a little beat up. There are a ton of cool displays and photo ops, though. It was certainly worth a few dollars each for a fun half hour with the kids.
