Very good rainy day activity

Four floors of exhibits-- or actually 3. You ride to the top of the elevator and then walk down. Neat idea actually. Very nice views of mountains (or would be if it weren't raining). One floor on rocketry, one on living in space, and one...More

Not Worth a Stop

I understand they're renovating right now but even so this museum is not worth visiting. They charge $8 to see very limited exhibits many of which are currently closed. The outdoor rocket park is nice but very little inside grabbed my attention. I wouldn't be...More

An interesting visit into space

This smallish museum shows you things about the human race to space. From capsules to rockets to space suits, this museum is pretty nifty. If you're in the area, I do recommend going there, it's pretty informative. If you get there on time, I also...More

Good thing admission was free...

We hit them at a bad time. Their elevators were out of service as were the restrooms. One family tried to bring in a handicapped person and there was simply no way for them to get upstairs to the exhibits. Some of the exhibits were...More

Museum

We stopped here and spent hours as I enjoyed looking at the displays and reading about the history of space flight from its roots in ancient times.

Interesting

Nice historic atmosphere here. Interesting to learn about the local area and it’s role in our current defense and space programs. Small fees to see all the exhibits and we may have to schedule another visit to take it all in. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice small museum

We found this to be a nice small museum with lots of interactive activities for all ages. We enjoyed it especially because it talked about a lot of the astronauts we used to hear on the news as kids. We also liked the exhibits outside....More

How long do you need to visit the place?

AnswerShow all 5 answers

Without the movie, 1-2 hours. We had 3 kids with us, 9, 10 and 18. One was very interested. The others not as much. If we just had the one, we might have stayed longer.

Space museum, Tucson or Alamagordo ? (5 Replies)

Hi ! We are driving around Arizona and New Mexico in June. We are interested in seeing space and air vehicles. Do you have any opinion, which one is better: Pima Air & Space in Tucson or New Mexico museum of space history in Alomogordo ? Or is there other place somewhere in that disctrict that we should visit ?

May 13, 2007|

Response fromcolinaz|

If you want to see space exploration and such, then the Alamogordo museum may be best. The Pima Air & Space Museum is more focused on military jets and planes. It's a nice museum though, and they're so different that I think you wouldn't be bored in doing both.
