It's actually really well done. It's cheap to get in and we got there just in time to watch ~hour video on the history of the UFO crash that put Roswell on the map. The video has interviews with some of the folks who were caught up in the event and not by their chose.
It's pretty clear that whatever happened, the Army Air Force put a lot of pressure for everyone to keep quiet, which they did until most of them were getting old and didn't want to leave it untold. The museum has a lot of displays containing the newspaper clippings from those days. It's has a lot of notarized affidavit from just about everyone who was involved. Nurses, pilots, ground crew, etc. who were involved with the coverup. It's interesting stuff. I bought an autographed book on it.
The museum also has displays from the movies made about aliens, Roswell, and space in general. It's a lot of fun.
After all the UFOs we were hungry and tried a local place called the Cowboy Cafe. I had the best Chicken Fried Steak I've every had and Martha had a Green Chili Brisket Enchiladas. Good food, good service.
We also found a winery tasting room that only had New Mexico wines and beers. Many European varietals especially Italian. I found a locally brewed beer call Alien. I tried their wheat and Amber Ale.
