Roswell is a friendly city on the eastern plains that became world famous for a mysterious 1947 event that many people think involved a UFO. Today it happily celebrates aliens everywhere you look.
You can visit the UFO museum, spot alien-themed lampposts and murals, and enjoy a big space festival every summer.
Roswell leans into its space mystery with a big UFO museum, green alien statues, and even alien eyes painted on the street lamps. Every July a huge festival brings costumes and parades.
Beyond the alien fun, Roswell is a real cowboy town surrounded by cattle ranches and farms. Nearby lakes and a spring-fed water park give families a cool place to swim in summer.
