Roswell Space Center

I was underwhelmed. The spacewalk wasn’t quite what I was anticipating… but for 2 $ it was about the least fake and overdone thing one could find to do in Roswell, NM. The entire town felt like a tourist trap in the worst possible ways.
That said, the owner (I think) was really kind and inviting and gave us some valuable information and a warm welcome to Roswell. I can’t think of much else to do here that is worth your time other than perhaps visiting the Spaceship McDonalds.
Solid place– just don’t expect it to be everything (and don’t drive 100 miles out of the way to visit Roswell, like we did).

The people who I assume were the owners working the counter were so hilarious and friendly. Couldn’t stop chatting us up and I’m not real good at wrapping things up with chatty people. The space walk was definitely worth the $ 2, you can tell someone really put in a lot of effort and creativity in depicting some of the history behind UFO’s in the area. It’s not a very long tour so take your time, they let you take all the photos you want.
The merchandise in the rest of the store was reasonably priced. They don’t take a charge card for anything under $ 5. They had a cool guestbook you can sign where you can see that people have visited this place from virtually all over the world. You will see where I signed: aliens are the shiznit!
I picked up an Area 51 security badge, think I’ll get to use it before government agents gun me down? hmmm, probably not but it’s good fun.

Take the walk. Very cool! Cute souvineers including shirts to 5x. Black light fun. So worth the $ 2. A fun quick stop.

So the space walk was adorable and silly and worth $ 2. But the woman working the counter was THE grumpiest human being I’ve ever encountered. And the t-​shirts were expensive.

If you looking for some unique souvenir, this is the place to go, all the souvenir shops on the main street have the same stuff, but this place carries some of the local artist’s items which is awesome.
The owner is friendly and I asked whey two of the same item have different price, he sold me the one I wanted (with higher price label) at the lower price item.

Best little alien shop in town. Kind of hard to find as it is not on the main drag, but worth visiting. Location is on 2^nd Street, one block east of Main Street.
The guy who works «some» late afternoons, and all day every Sunday is amazing. (This is the overweight guy, Pat). I think he is a true believer in UFO’s. I think he is overweight because he eats too many Aliens. Fries them up with a little onion and says they taste just like chicken.

The spacewalk in itself is pretty cool and different than what the other alien places around town have to offer. Tons of gifts and tshirts. One of the artists was running the place when we visited and he greeted us with the Vulcan Salute and «Greetings Humans!» He had a speech about all the tshirt designs having stories to go with them and that the government hasn’t been in there to confiscate anything since ⁹⁄₁₁. Very cool place. Its $ 2 for the spacewalk.

Like everyone says, the Space Walk is cool. It’s really short (like…maybe only 2 – 5 minutes), but it’s a very creative way of depicting Roswell’s infamous history with extraterrestrials, and so if you’re in search of some Roswell weirdness, this place will do nicely.
The gift shop is chock full of Roswell-​related stuff. The quality of some of the items is questionable (the design on a spinny keychain literally fell off after a couple months of use), but in my experience the T-​shirts have been fine. I bought the black shirt with the neon green, alienified New Mexico symbol, and that shirt has been fine for over a year now. Same goes for the mug I bought. If you shop smartly, I don’t think you’ll have any issues with the durability of the items sold here.
I wouldn’t say that this little place actually makes a trip to Roswell worth the trip, but if you happen to find yourself in town and you’re looking for something to take with you, this is the place.

DO NOT buy your T-​shirt here! We bought the coolest T-​shirt here, took it home, followed the washing instructions on the tag & after the first wash, it was totally ruined and now unwearable. Very disappointed in the quality of their t-​shirts. Shame on them for selling such junk to customers who have no way of knowing until they are back home, several states away!

Campy in the best sense of the word. Biggest variety of alien-​themed paraphernalia in town. This guys designs a lot of the t-​shirts, coffee mugs, and bumper stickers, and he’s a hoot to boot. He’s been working on the Space Walk for 10 years.

This place is simply amazing compared to the UFO Museum in Roswell. The guy who runs the place is very friendly and explains everything in the store. On top of that they have a small black light gallery which features space and alien themed art. If you had to pick between seeing the UFO Museum or The Space Center I would pick the Space Center.
Also quick tip they have a diverse selection of alien themed souvenirs, so if you are into that on your trip check this place out first.

had a blast talking to the guy who runs the place. He is so into everything that goes on down there make sit a very fun experience. Got an amazing t-​shirt that he drew himself as well. Great time!

Best store for souvenirs around the UFO museum.

Do the Spacewalk! Cheesy but fun.

this place was definitely fun!
the owner put so much time and effort into the space walk you just HAVE to check it out… I mean, THIS is the kind of stuff you go to Roswell to see: the strange characters that live there!
and I much preferred this place as a souvenir shop rather than the place next to the UFO Center.
who knew aliens could be bitches, too?!

Do not miss this place! The space walk is way too cool not to see. The guy that runs the place seriously loves his job and that’s reason enough to go ~ no really you don’t understand you have to go and see what I’m talking about.
Now we didn’t just stay in because it was 500 000 degrees outside (but the a/​c was a definite bonus) the time he has taken to put this place together is inspiring or worrisome not sure which.
The amount of kitchy little alien stuff & useful stuff too ~ i love my water bottle & bottle opener thank you ~ is worth it. The prices aren’t too outrageous so you can stock up on gifts for the suckers that missed out.
Have a great time & make sure you get your alien buck! You never know when you’ll need it!
