Nice little alien attraction in Main St, Roswell. Well worth a visit. I could have given 4 Stars, possibly 5 Stars. When I noticed one photo didn’t turn out properly and went back to ask if I could take it again, I was told no. Had to pay again, despite having my receipt. Therefore, their customer service, which is very flat anyway, gave less stars for this review. Maybe a different attitude and this will be a better place to visit like the awesome staff at Space Walk.

Quick stop. Inside a gift shop. Small. 10-15 min in and out. Worth it, if youre in the area. Not worth going out of your way for. But fun. And funny. Photo ops. Typical little green man type alien attraction.

Best 5 bucks per person I spent in a long time. Go at 10 am and get in early and get the place to yourselves. Take lots of pictures, practice your poses and have fun! The shop keeper was super friendly and told us about other things to do in Roswell. This made the Roswell trip worthwhile.

Area 51 not open only a few displays and even know that area was closed we were still able to due a few photos !! I still gave a donation the Roswell diner was Cool wish there was more to do inside but due to technical difficulties area 51 was closed the lady at desk didnt seem like she wanted to be there. Next time maybe we will have a better experience!!

I hate to give it a 2 star rating ☹️ I was here a few years ago and remember this place being AwEsOmE! But we tried going yesterday and they were closed early 🤔. We tried going today and the gift shop part was open but the cool exhibit part was closed for cleaning—2 hours before closing time, and the playground was closed for repairs. I would say if you’re thinking about going, make sure to call first! This is mid-July 2021

Best T-shirts in town! I went to like 6 different shops looking for a cool alien t-shirt. Alien Zone was the only shop that was screen printing there own shirts. Out of this world tshirts!

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.

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!

Cute place and if you go early enough in the day you can go through Area 51 which is cool. So if you stop in tell them take me to Area 51 you wont be disappointed

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.

Review №18

This is easily one of the coolest locations in Roswell. Just needs some TLC. A good vacuum and I would add a soundtrack in the back. Cool sci fi soundtrack to set the mood. Maybe some neon at the bar and maybe and old radio playing some 40s-50s would be cool. I’d fire up the cafe and rip out the playground for an arcade. Could easily pull in a mill a year💪

Smelly place. They need to clean. The alien scenes were cute and provided fun photo ops, but we didnt want to stay long because the place smells like old wet towels that have soured.

Review №20

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.

Review №22

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.

Super fun place ! You pay $3 a person and you get to tons of photo ops .. I think out of all of the places in Roswell this was our favorite!

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

Review №25

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.

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 №31

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.

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

Review №33

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.

Unfortunately the supply of tourist goods was low. I wanted to buy a shirt for a larger family member and they didnt have any 1x in any style. Will try again soon. May just be COVID stock issues, so not writing them off just yet!

Review №36

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 №44

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.

Review №47

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.

The lady at the front was very rude, didn’t want to help with simple questions like shirt sizes, was rude to me and my friends. We were each gonna buy 2-3 shirts for friends and family but after she kept being rude, we didn’t want to support a business who is rude to tourists

Very disappointed.. We drove 8 hours with a 7 month old to visit this town and every UFO related shop was closed.. Because of a extremely light dusting of snow. ufo museum was closed from Jan 1-13 and was not on their website or anything except the front door. What a waste of a trip.

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!

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 is not worth your time or money. The place is dirty and the attractions are falling apart. It seriously looks like a junior high student attempted to make a haunted house and failed.

Review №86

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.

We dropped in Roswell on our way back to Texas. Clerk was nice, exhibit is fun for picture props but the worst experience is when another employee comes in out of nowhere screaming like a damn lunatic!!! Asked if i had our tickets, questioned and demanded them. Once i responded Of course I do, do you want to see them!!?? 😡😡 She walked away nd left me tlking. Other than that, ok place.

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.
