What else could it have other than a cheesy effect? If you don't expect too much, you won't be disappointed. I think it would be good dumb fun. Next time I go through Roswell, I'll probably stop in just for the heck of it.

I'd like to hear the Roswell Symphony play, just to see how good it is. I think the town is interesting.

Well. it sounds impressive. I know it's difficult to prove that UFOs and such exist, but it's even harder to prove that they don't. Personally, I feel that any extraterrestrial species smart enough to get here would be smart enough not to, but you never know.

100% no. Nothing here is worth seeing. I moved here in fall 07, and I'm already moving to Cali in July because this is a boring state.

been there 1 to many times lol. Really bad bad bad. Well, you should go i guess IF your on your way to ruidoso, you got there too early to even think about trecking to ruidoso because your cabin isnt ready, your hungry and stop at dennys and well...ya think "hey, the museum is just "right" there.." so then ok, stop by and giggle at the camp that is the museum.

then its ok to go.

but to drive from here (ft worth) to there (roswell) ewwwwwwwww gross, no way, roswell is butt ugly and nothing to offer a vacationer to keen your interest long.

My wife and I stopped there a couple of years ago while traveling back from MS. I'm fond of saying it's worth the price of admission.

Oh, did I mention it happens to be free? But, when in Rome....ya Know? Not much else around for 50 miles or so.

Thank you to all respondents, and thank you, anomoly, for those great photos.
I have seen many of those in the virtual tour of the Roswell UFO Museum that I've taken online before.

I stand on the promise that my friend Derek Trolinder orig. from Wichita Falls (actually Quanah TX pop. 2700) made to me that the museum is absolutely not worth it so I was correct in not viewing it personally the one time I was in Roswell on the morning of November 13, 2004.

Thanks again & talk to y'all later.
