The International UFO Museum and Research Center opened in 1992 as an educational center for locals.

The center offers a wealth of information about the Roswell incident, UFO sightings, and other phenomena. There's plenty of archival footage with newspaper clippings and essays, and a full research library, to satisfy your curiosity on all things supernatural.
The Roswell Museum & Art Center is a must-see for those interested in knowing more about Southwestern art, history, and culture. The galleries here exhibit fine art from respected artists such as Georgia O’Keefe, Peter Hurd, and Henriette Wyeth. Don't miss the display on pioneer rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard, who launched the first successful liquid fuel rocket in 1926. There's also a planetarium and library onsite.
The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art evolved from a personal collection to a full museum that opened to the public in 1994.

The impressive selection spans thought-provoking paintings, photographs, and sculptures reflecting the evolution of modern art over the last 40 years. Best of all, entry is free.

The Spring River Park and Zoo is New Mexico's only free zoo.

The children’s zoo features adorable animals such as lemurs and pygmy goats they can meet up close. You'll also have fun on the miniature train and the vintage wooden carousel.
Embark on an extraordinary blacklight adventure at the Roswell Space Center's Spacewalk.

Explore the Great Southwest Outdoors
New Mexico is known for its natural beauty, and the Roswell area is no exception. Bottomless Lakes State Park is an ideal place to boat, fish, and hike. Located 12mi east of Roswell, the 1,400-acre park consists of nine small lakes. These lakes get their name from their deep circular structure, formed after the collapse of limestone reef formations. Algae growth gives them their unique blue-green color. Only Lea Lake permits swimming, and it's also perfect for scuba divers.
Located between the Chihuahuan Desert and the Southern Plains, the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a blend of different ecological environments. The refuge's wetlands provide habitats for over 350 migrating bird species such as the sandhill crane and the snow goose. The area is also home to many rare native fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. There's various hiking and horseback riding trails to better explore this most unique of parks.
Unique Annual Events in Town
Held every Independence Day, the Roswell UFO Festival is a fun and quirky commemoration of the anniversary of the Roswell Incident. Dress up as an alien, a Storm Trooper, or Predator to join in the fun; imaginative pet costumes are also welcome. UFO believers and skeptics alike can also attend lectures by ufologists, experience a variety of alien-related activities, and witness a dazzling electric light parade. A car show, live music, and beer garden provide additional fun.
The Eastern New Mexico State Fair takes place over the course of a week in early October every year, at the city's fairgrounds. Events include the largest parade in southeast New Mexico, fun rides, and games. Check out livestock and agricultural competitions, while live bands and other performers provide a variety of entertainment.
