3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

Roswell has absolutely nothing going for it, so I am going to give this 3 stars as at least we got some strange photos for the $6 entry ($3/person) and the cashier was totally jacked up. She did not even try to hide her track marks or pretend her slurred speech was unusual! Interesting stop for sure!

hahahaha this place was pretty wicked, not only the cheapest on T Shirts but they had the coolest designs, and humor shirts along with all the usual alien nick-knacks. No, not an alien fanatic like some of them are but it was great. upon check out you can pay 3$ for this little place called.....AREA-51. do it. enough said. basically... More

If you went to the UFO musuem, and were dissapointed by the lack of cool, this is where you need to visit. there are like 20 sets, all put togather, and alien themed, and they are interactive! Yes that is right you can enter the scenes, and take great pictures, that will freak out your friends! $3 to get in... More

The primary part of this establishment is a gift shop. In the very back of the gift shop, there is a little photo op area where you can pose with some aliens. Everything is very gimmicky and cheesy. At $3 pp, you can enter the Area 51 section of the store. Still cheesy, but lots of photo opportunities. We were... More

For $3 each, my wife and I had "Area 51" all to ourselves. Like other reviews state, it's a cheap, campy attraction, but a whole lot of fun. It's a great opportunity to take some hilarious photos!

We enjoyed taking pix here and just being silly--very happy I read the other reviews of the place first. It could be even better if they would update it a bit, but hey, at $3, what do you really expect? We were the only ones in there when we visited (a weekday afternoon in late April); a family was coming... More

This is an absolute must if you're passing through Roswell. It's a dirty, dusty dump but that's part of its charm. Be sure to pay the three bucks to enter Area 51, you won't be disappointed. The interactive displays are very creative and make for some fantastic photo memories.

It was a cheap place to take great photos with the kids. They had fun posing with all the aliens. A little run down but it was cheap and worth going. They even had a small playground for the kids.

We went to both Alien Zone and the UFO Museum, we felt like we HAD to visit the UFO Museum because it would be totally mortifying to go to Roswell without seeing it, but we enjoyed Alien Zone much more. The pictures we got were totally worth the $6 ($3 each). We were the only people in there, it is... More
