Alamogordo Travel Guide
MapWelcome to Alamogordo!
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.
