This place is SO COOL!! If you're an alien nut & find yourself on this side of the base, this is a great pit stop for alien kitch.

A fun place to stretch your legs, take photos, get something to eat and shop all the alien souvenirs. They have a variety of merchandise on hand and if lucky you may even overhear a local story or 2.

Shop the official Area 51 Alien Center. Shop online or come to our gift shop. We offer Alien themed souvenirs related to the infamous Area 51.
The Area 51 Alien Center was originally built as a gas station in 1945. After a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and aliens were taken to the air base, strange things began happening at our location. People reported seeing strange lights nearby, unnatural sounds late at night, and bizarre shapes moving across the sky.
The gas station was purchased in 2017 and became the official Area 51 Alien Center. Since then, we've been protecting ordinary citizens by keeping an eye on the Men in Black.
