A Day in the Alien City of Roswell, New Mexico

Start your day at Stellar Coffee and order a flat white, it’s made proper sized and is a chill place to launch into your day.

After that stop by the visitor center to get aquatinted with the city. Take a photo with some aliens that conveniently landed right in the visitor center...crazy, right!?

Then check out the quirky alien exhibits. My best friend and I went to: Alien Zone (a gift shop set up like an alien diner), The International UFO Museum and Research Center (a history of alien sightings in Roswell) and Roswell Space Center (a blacklight experience).  Not totally sure they are worth the money but when in Roswell it feels right.

After that head to Big D’s downtown dive. I had a delightful West Coast Taco and some craft cherry coke. Big D’s definitely left me fully satisfied ;)

After that head to Bottomless Lakes State Park. Explore a few of the lakes near the visitor center (don't forget to pay your $5) and then head down to Lea Lake to swim and chill at the “beach.” The water is a bit cold but if it’s hot outside it makes for a pleasant experience.

There you go, I hope you have a stellar out of this world experience in Roswell!

Do you have other suggestions? Let me me know in the comments section!
