6 Things to do in Roswell, New Mexico

Roswell is a city in southeast New Mexico that is famous for its part in the alleged UFO incident of 1947. Because of this connection to aliens, the city has become a fun tourist attraction with all sorts of extraterrestrial exhibits that you can visit throughout the downtown area. Some of the top attractions are the International UFO Museum and Research Center, UFO Spacewalk, and the UFO McDonalds. Here are some of my favorite spots and let me know what I left off in the comments.

Wow, wonderful! amazing video! I heard a lot "Roswell" in the movies. Very funny and curious stories. It's raining in Korea on gloomy Monday. I was blue but your special video gave me a mood change. Thanks, have a great new week, my friend~~!

Im from Roswell born and raised. Not much going on here except for main street. But a few places that should be checked out while in Roswell. 1. The base located in the south end of town. Walker Air force base was an operational military base at the time of the crash.
2. 20 miles east of Roswell there is Bottomless lakes, which are not lakes but in fact massive sinkwholes.
3. Farther north east, you'll find Bitter lakes animal refuge. .
4. Or if youre up to it. Go around the supposed crash site of the UFO. What youre gonna want to is travel 108 miles north west. To Corona NM.

I love and have been to Roswell a couple of times, my first time going was during spring break of 1997 with a couple of friends, we went right before the 50th anniversary of the Roswell incident and I still have my “50 years of U.F.O.s” t-shirt!! It’s such a fun little town!!

I love Roswell! It’s my favorite motorcycle ride from Santa Fe. Even though I’ve been there over a hundred times, it’s never boring. Good job on this fun video! Your dad is adorable 👍

Your dad is so awesome! I love seeing your travel adventures with your parents and family 😊

You should see the UFO McDonald's at night. It looks pretty cool.

And I had no idea that we had a spacewalk. How am I barely hearing about this?

I love everything about kitsch and novelty.

That was great. I love space alien stuff. I'm currently watching The Expanse reruns in the afternoon, and Stargate Atlantis reruns at night. I'm hooked.

Thanks for the tips going there tomorrow. Oh, and Harley in Oklahoma says hello. You were right he can tell a few risqué jokes. He was fun to talk to

I grew up in Roswell but moved out of state in 2003. Went back to visit a couple of years ago. It's changed a lot since living there as a kid and teenager. Great place!

[lindaperez]

Nice video!! Love passing through Roswell when we go down to Carlsbad/White Sands. Such a quaint little town.

[AmbientWalking]

Your videos are a part of my daily experiences. I am so grateful for this. Thank you!

Nicely done! Reminds me of our trip to Roswell a couple years ago... We did most of the same things and a couple of different ones. I particularly enjoyed the “real” Robert Goddard rocket display. I still travel around with the alien decal in my window I got at the info center.

[marshaharwood]

That was a fun place to visit!!! I think you hit all the highlights 👏🏻
