There’s a lot more to Roswell than UFOs and aliens. But, let’s face it, that’s why many tourists are drawn to this New Mexican city. If you’re going to embrace the idea of little green men, there are a couple of stops that you’ll want to make in Roswell.
After you’ve investigated the International UFO Museum and Research Center and chowed down at the spaceship McDonald’s, it’s time to pick up some souvenirs and get in some kitschy photo ops. That’s where Alien Zone comes in.
