Alamogordo at a Glance
Located in Southeast
New Mexico near the Holloman Air Force Base and White
Sands Missile Testing Center, Alamogordo has much to offer visitors. Like
many Western-style cities, Alamogordo sports a well-preserved downtown consisting
of many shops and restaurants inside buildings constructed circa 1900. North
of Alamogordo is the Three
Rivers Petroglyph Site, which boasts more than 20,000 rock carvings, as
well as picnic shelters and a trail system. Explore the three contrasting museums
that the city has to offer: the New
Mexico Museum of Space History, the Toy
Train Museum and the Tularosa
Basin Historical Society Museum, all of which welcome families. Another
kid-oriented destination is the Alameda
Park Zoo, which contains roughly 300 different animals and is one of the
oldest zoos in New Mexico. Outdoor enthusiasts can visit the nearby Oliver
Lee Memorial State Park and the Lincoln
National Forest, which support camping, hiking and picnicking.
