Omg I’m so glad my mom took me here! I’m obsessed with everything space related and to pay this place a visit was awesome!! You go up five levels and then make your way down while viewing pictures and items from space exploration history. It really opens up your eyes to how far we’ve come as human beings. There’s more than enough space to move around without having to be too close to people. The staff were also very friendly! I definitely recommend this place!

Just GO!!!!Wow!Its a Space Museum.Wow!!You elevator up five stories, and then just saunter your way down.Yeah, this is biased. I am a space geek.Dont forget to look at the outside displays.If theres at least two of you, make sure you whisper at each other, from 100 ft away, at the listening dishes. Awesome!And the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Great Museum with lots of artifacts to see and learn about. Very relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately the theater is closed during this pandemic but the museum is still worth the visit. They even have displays at the White Sands Mall.

Very interesting and well organized history. Have also been to the Robert Goddard Museum in Roswell. Early examples of his experimental engines.Highly recommend the space museum.

If you are into real space and the technology mankind has developed to explore it, then come check this place out.They have a decent collection of items both original and replicas in and around the four level building. Theres a section inside the building where kids can play as well as a gift shop.In 2016, they dedicated a part of one floor to Star Trek because it continues to play a role in capturing the imagination of those interested in space exploration and drives many to enter and excel in all the various fields of science.This is not anywhere near as expansive as the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and Chantilly, VA, but its fitting for the area that its in. Parking is free, its inexpensive to get in, and youll end up learning quite a bit from the time you spend in there.Recommended!

Great artifacts.. pretty cool to see the actual gear and space shuttle pieces... Take advantage of the 5$ entry fee per person and greatly enjoyed the history

What a great place! Amazing for all ages.

Very nice informative museum. We were here during covid19, so the interactive things were closed but still very nice.

The museum has a lot of memorabilia from the space race and the missile tests done nearby. Its very clean and the staff was friendly. Some of the exhibits were a little dated, e.g., describing our current space shuttles. We had a good time and learned a lot.

A well-done museum focusing on NM part of the Rockets and Space Exploration. However, the museum does not minimize the contributions of scientists from other countries and centuries old astronomers and mathematicians. The Hall of Fame includes them all. The museum includes many original artifacts (missiles, meteorological, space), including equipment I remember my Dad using for meteorology. There is also a nice exhibit on HAM the first chimp in space (as well as his grave site). As an added bonus, there is even a Star Trek component. We highly recommend the stop.

I call it the Little Museum Atop a Hill. The New Mexico Museum of Space History is a 30-minute drive from the White Sands National Monument. Since I am attracted to anything concerning space, I decided to drive to the east side of Alamogordo, New Mexico to check it out.The museum is not hard to locate. In fact, you can see even a mile afar, as it is situated atop a hill. First impression: the building looks magnificent from where it stands.There’s the mountain range as its backdrop.Then there’s the view of the town below on the other side.It is advisable to take the elevator to the fourth level and start the space journey from the topmost to the bottom.From the window, you will see down below several old rockets on display outside.The various rocket components are displayed in a manner that allowed visitors to study the technological evolution of this science.I will recommend this place for anyone visiting Alamogordo, NM.

Interesting gem far from Houston, Florida and Washington DC. Lots of neat artifacts in an interesting layout. Staff was very friendly and the crowds were non existent. If you are anywhere near, I suggest you go out of your way to visit.

The ASTC portability alone of this membership is worth the price of admission. Military discounts. Accessible. Area to try on space suits for kids infant to 14. Rocket rumble simulation. Informative displays. Playground outside. A great space-themed gift shop. Free parking. Great views of the surrounding areas.

Liked the view from the museum. The exhibitions were pretty detailed as to the years and what they were loved the interactive exhibits they had set up. They are opening up another area so I can wait to see what it is when its done.

Real space history. Parts of rocket ships, genuine artifacts. It was quicker of a tour than I thought it would be but as a family of space enthusiasts it was a great time for us. It was extra awesome that their gift shop has replica patches of all the missions. Worth a visit if youre nearby.

A well done museum for the young and old. Land the space shuttle or dress up as an astronaut, so many things to do. Learn about the different rockets and monkeys in space! They have a nice gift shop too. The IMAX theater next door is also worth going to.

Such a fun day trip! We didnt even know this was in the area but I was so excited when we found out. It was definitely worth the trip, it is fun, informative and inspiring. We even saw wild Lynx outside the windows! Great trip for families and space lovers. Awesome gift shop as well. I loved it!

Great museum and well worth admission. 4 floors of history and historic artifacts and relics. I would recommend this to anyone in the area.

Super cool place. It has a lot of information in multiple mediums such as videos, text, artifacts, hands on equipment, models, planetarium, and a walkway of real sized space craft. I overall really enjoyed my experience and learned a lot! I also bought a patch and a pin as a reminder of my experience.

This is a nice place to visit with kids. Our experience was fun and educational. We did not have small children and it is geared for children. There’s a cool Star Trek area so if you are a Trekkie, you will want to check this part out. The displays out front are interesting for kids and grownups.

Great learning experience and so interesting. Good place for families, out of towners, people who get bored easy, and couples. They have some really awesome movies right now too.. black holes, apollo 11, and live star gazing. So much to see and experience. I absolutely LOVE the floor specifically dedicated to Star Trek, amazing exhibits. Elevator or ramps are available and very wheelchair accessible. I had fun and the gift shop was neat.

We come here often, we love it! Super cool place! The planetarium is amazing!

Awesome history, fun interactive stuff for kids and adults, and regular showings on the dome screen. They recommend calling ahead for movie showings because classes/tours can easily fill the entire theater.

Very fun! The planetarium was awesome, so was the self guided tour of the museum. They are adding new exhibits...cant wait to come back. Nice friendly staff

I Recently started working at the Space Hall of Fame 30 days ago and had not been to visit the museum since 1980?? As a kid I remember the museum being somewhat boring, however now The museum is awesome!!! It has something for the kids and for the adults alike , it now has interactive exhibits, you can dress up in space suits on the first floor and take pictures in front of the huge backdrop,, it is reasonably priced and the gift shop is awesome too... Once you’re done with that visit, head to White Sands which is pretty cool too, make it one of your visits on your vacation!!!!

If you love history or space travel you should enjoy yourself. The building has some displays outside and 4 levels inside. You take the elevator to the top then walk down through each level. It shouldnt be any problem if you are in a wheelchair. The museum isnt huge but it has some cool stuff and a couple of simulators, like landing the shuttle and what it feels like to be on different types of Rockets during blast off. There is also a little Gene Roddenberry Star Trek exhibit which was nice to see. They do have a gift shop which is pretty small, and they also have a couple of movies you can see.

A very complete and informative history of the space program. Numerous exhibits that cover all aspects from the beginnings to modern day.

Really wonderful experience son and dad day

I had great time. Love it.

Great museum with a lot of real space history from the area. Will definitely visit again because there is no way to see everything with detail in a single short visit.

Neat little diversion, worth a few hours if you are out by white sands and want to get inside

Great little museum to visit, it was under renovation when i went but it was cute and informative and had lots of interactive exhibits. Its very well priced 11$ for a ticket to the museum and to the planetarium! Theres also a large outdoor portion thats very cool.

Nice museum dedicated to New Mexico and space. Still under renovations, but what is ready to go is really nice. Its a Smithsonian museum so its legit. Good artifacts and great views.

Fun place to learn more about space and more history than you might ever learn in school. Great for a field trip.

Truly loved this venue. The museum has a broad range of well organized historical items. Available activities & exhibits keep adults & kids engaged and interested. Would definitely go again.

This place is great. They need more displays

The museum is incredible. They had a Star Trek exhibit that was tons of fun. The space chimp is also buried here. There is a lot to see and read. This is a must for any avid space fans.

It was very cool. Lots on construction right now. Being there with my little one... Priceless and Awesome. We only had a short time to be there. Would have liked to have another 2 hours.

To the Moon and beyond. Educational and Fun.

Great educational experience on U.S. rocket history for the old and young!

This museum was a great surprise find for me, I didnt know it was there before a trip passing through Alamogordo.Ill admit that I was expecting to be underwhelmed when I showed up, but that was quickly replaced with feeling like Id struck gold.The facilities are top-notch and laid out in an easy to follow timeline of the history of space exploration; the displays were informative, significant events were thoughtfully explained, and the inclusion of rival space programs and their achievements was classy.Ill be going back again.

Had an amazing experience there. A friend and I enjoyed our time. Employees were friendly and informative, grounds were kept clean. Would go back ANY day!! Thank you

As a family we really enjoyed our time here the kids had lots of fun. Science Saturday is a must do along with visiting The New Horizons Dome Theater and Planetarium.no

If you are around come and see it. Lots of history and cool stuff. IMAX and planetarium not a must.

We love bringing out of town family here. We always learn and have a wonderful time!!!

Very cool museum. Lots to see and learn. A must see.

Really neat place to visit and see how the local area has played such a large part in space exploration and military defense!

Great place to learn the history of space travel. Displays are well setup and easy to access. The one drawback is it isnt handicap accessible. They have outside handicap parking but be careful its on a slope.

Packed with a whole lot of space exploration history in a compact setting. View of Alamogordo from top floor alone is worth the price. The grave of first simian in space is here. Kids loved it.

Very nice museum to visit. Ham the first space chimp is buried there.

Awesome - only $7 for out of state folks, and well worth it. Many good items are hidden. Leave a banana (or some whiskey) for Ham by the flagpole, and check out the barn to the back, full of big, dusty, cool items from the space race era.

Amazing place to learn history and see old stuff

Short drive from El Paso. Kids had a blast. Some hands on activities. You start at the top floor and work your way down. So much information!!!

Fun little museum. We really enjoyed it. Theres a fun little area in the end where you can dress up like astronauts that was a big hit to not only our family, but all around.

Really cool for an out of the way museum. Kids loved it and had really cool history of some of the rocket tests at White Sands missile range!

Its so much fun! Alot to see and they have this simulator of when a rocket launches!

We did not go in the museum... $$$...the outside items need better maintance..

Great place to visit for kids and adults alike.They have a lot of NASA artifacts from the cold war era.Friendly staff. Not a lot of visitors though.They also house a small planetarium with a very well-informed host!

Thorough, fascinating, clever layout!

Nice museum.Have many space information and pretty thearther.

Love that there is a play ground for kids and outside exhibits. I loved how the museum is set up for viewing and experiencing. Balanced a good amount of interaction exhibits with information exhibits.

It is great to have a space cience museum near us for kids and adults, had a great time.

Family friendly, theater documentary(last 25 to 30 min).

Very good displays of the history of space travel. They included a significant amount of space to Russian cosmonauts and have included a number of Russian and other foreign space explorers in the hall of fame. I was impressed by the inclusion of German scientists who developed the V2 and other rockets in WWII. And how, when Germany surrendered, they came to America to join our laboratories and space program. The displays are being updated. I hope they continue to display items from NASA, Las Alimos, White Sands, and the Space centers. The only improvement, if any, would be to expand the outdoor displays. I enjoyed the tour and would go back.

I had fun with the family. The museum is very neat has a lot of information, and the planetarium is awesome! It is a little pricey, but it provides a lot of educational information, and gets the family out of the house.

Great place to go with kids of all ages! I recommend getting there early so you can get to see both movies.

What a wonderful experience! My entire family loved it! There is so much to learn and to see at the museum.We purchased a one year membership which includes unlimited entry into the museum, and a Fourth of July fireworks parking pass. The pass alone is worth the price.I highly recommend the space museum!

This was an awesome experience allot of interactive activities and short films to learn. We enjoyed the movie theater they have in the blue building next door highly recommended.

This was great! A smaller museum geared towards family but everything was done very well and worth the low cost! The german fighter jet in the parking lot, HAM the chimp memorial, and design of the tour were the highlights.

If you havent been there you SHOULD go. Very interesting and enjoyable experience. Easily spent half a day and could have stayed longer but got there mid-day and they had to close before we got all the way through. Go you will be glad you did.

Cool place go inside!

One of the best Space Museums I have ever been too!

Really enjoyed the exhibits learned a lot about the space history. Would recommend to take the kids to White Sands after to have fun!

Very interesting.something for whole family

Great layout. Gives an awesome physical and visual representation of the space program and the people involved. Very nice inneractive displays. Great for school age and older.

Excellent museum. Very interesting. Better that I expected. The history of the space program is well covered and includes contributions from countries other than US.

Very nice so much history to learn. Whole family really enjoyed. Staff members are amazing and friendly.

Nice place to learn about the history of everything space flight. Didnt plan my trip there, but so glad that I went.

What an inspiring adventure! So much to see and so much fun. Way better than the Space Center in Houston... So much hands on - all in working order. We even were able to put on astronaut suits... What a blast!

The resting place of HAM the space chimp and the worlds smallest IMAX theater. There are many rocket engines on display among the grounds as well as other rocket science artifacts. Learn about the incredible missions man has undergone to slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of god.Personal Note: My father served on the USS Wasp during the Gemini Missions. One of the vessels responsible for capsule recovery. It was neat seeing him revisit his past.

Really nice. I was hoping a little more

I really enjoyed this museum and definitely recommend it. Also check out all the outdoor exhibits hopefully when its not too hot. Definitely worth a couple hours especially if you have kids with you although definitely visit even if you dont

Wonderful place to visit...great over view of the space program .I recommend the movie about the moon mission.

I’ve been coming here ever since I was a little girl. It is always so much fun! If you’re visiting, or even a local looking for something fun to do, go check it out! You’ll be amazed and leave excited!

Awesome placeCant wait to bring my dad here, hes going to love it

What a fun and in informative place. Well worth an afternoon stop in.

Very Interesting! A lot of the displays are geared towards children, but there is still a lot to see and yes, you might learn something :) I did! We really enjoyed going through this (no children w/us well, a couple of fur babys had to wait in the auto. So we did hurry through but seen a lot of it. We were able to hike around the outside displays with out dogs, also the Daisy track decelerator & Building. I highly, highly recommend this!

Great for the kids. The exhibit outside is a great draw to get you interactive.

Fun place to take the kids. Theres also a theater that plays unique Imax movies.

Best museum with space and aeronautical displays I have been to other than the Smithsonian and Air Force Museums. A good way to spend the majority of a day if you visit the Omnimax theater on site as well.

Good experience for school kids, I recommend it.

If youre in the area, its a must see. Full of history and many physical attractions.

Great experience! So much to see and learn about space history and the staff was so nice and informative! Definitely a great place to stop!

Fun place! Many, many plaques to read.

The day we went was a free admission day so that always helps in getting a positive review.Its a very nice facility. Well organized. Clean. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it.

We had a great time visiting on the weekend of the 50th anniversary of the 1st moon landing. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. The exhibits were well done and informative. It was really cool to find the Gene Roddenberry exhibit at the end!

Its a wonderful experience to visit this museum, cant wait to be back.

My son really enjoyed the space suits! Well worth the time and drive.

This is a great museum, there is a lot to see both outside and inside! Dont miss Ham the Astrochimps memorial outside. It is very educational with many interesting exhibits, some are interactive. It is a good place to bring the family.

Very informative. A lot of cool exhibits if you love space history and rockets. Might not be for everyone, but I thought it was interesting. For those with kids, there is a little playground outside.
