Spaceport Roswell

Very cool atmosphere in the building, it made you feel like you were going through a spaceport. My only issue is the actual VR experience, for anyone that has done VR before you have a high expectation for graphics and Spaceport needs to be updated as the graphics are a bit dated and blocky. The stories are unique but again the dated VR graphics take away from it. Other than that it’s worth the experience and it’s something to do while in Roswell.

We did the version from the aliens' point of view. Amazing virtual reality experience. I would go back to do the other show! The employee was friendly and helpful. Very service dog friendly. Wonderful experience

This was our first experience with virtual reality. We enjoyed the reenactment of the 1947 UFO crash so much that we stayed to see the Apollo 11 moon landing. Both were well done. Each one was about 15 minutes, and the cost was very reasonable.

The virtual reality experience of the 1947 alleged event was well-done, creative, and fun, but we were highly disappointed by the fact that we could hear everything else going on: other people coming in and having the introduction and others in ports around us talking! Our attendant did the best she could by replaying some of our experience that was drowned out, but all the other talking was distracting. Since I initially wrote this review, however, the company has been responsive, concerned, and appreciative of insight to our experience. They are working to address and correct the situation. I was quite impressed by their professionalism, so I recommend the experience!

The roswell VR experience was not what we had hoped. The VR stuff was fun but the building was so warm that the VR Goggles kept fogging up though the whole thing.

This was a fun little experience. We didn't do the VR this time because I thought I would get motion sick, especially after being queasy in the heat. Had fun doing the scavenger hunt in their Lego brick area. However, it's a bit confusing when you're done as we weren't told if we were supposed to come back through or go out the back door. Spoiler: back door is an enclosed patio. Just go back the way you came and press the button to "exit the airlock." Definitely worth a pit stop if you have time!

When in Roswell, you gotta do alien things 👾. The wife found this place and the crew did a fantastic job of building the experience. The props and layout were awesome. The VR experience was fun and not too intense for newbies or special populations. Our whole family had a good time.

A fantastic idea that needs a bit more fleshing out. I saw this place when researching things to do in Roswell (we decided to stop on our way to Carlsbad) when we arrived and the gift shop/lobby was somewhat crowded and there is limited seating. The wait wasn't overly long but be aware, for those uncomfortable with people being close together in relatively small spaces.

The staff are great and go out of their way to help you have fun with your stay, starting with "security questions" so be sure to leave your flux capacitors at home!

There are some nice touches to help you suspend disbelief, an airlock that slides open (but needs some cleaning, there's a black stripe where a wheel in the mechanism rubs it), then you enter a briefing area that is designed to look somewhat like an airport terminal. You then receive the briefing specific to the scenario you chose.

After the briefing, your party is taken to your "pod" and given some additional instructions before the adventure begins. The scenario takes about 20 minutes and you'll likely find yourself spinning around on the barstool provided and craning your neck to catch everything. Good fun.

A note of warning. Without thinking, we took our 7 year old daughter with us on the Area 51 scenario and she didn't enjoy the light violence. The fantastic staff member switched her over to a video about a bumbling robot which she thoroughly enjoyed. Again, the staff really work hard to help you enjoy your stay with them.

The graphic quality for the scenarios is equivalent to some older first person shooters.

I do have a few recommendations.
1. They should move the waiting area into the terminal and add seating. This will help people feel like they're waiting to catch a flight.
2. Convert a pod to a briefing room. This may cut down on how many customers you can serve at a time but may help to improve the experience. Alternatively include the briefing as part of the scenario, in the pods.
3. Complete construction. The pods are missing ceilings and doors so everyone can hear each other. This also will help with the suspension of disbelief. Likewise, ceiling for the terminal and halls to the pods. Rethink the furnishings, a wire basket doesn't scream far future and neither do the barstools.

Take or leave, just some thoughts. We enjoyed our experience and will visit again if we roll back through Roswell.
