Review:
Alamogordo is a historic railroad town situated in the Tularosa Basin near the spectacular White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico.
The town is steeped in history – you can visit Old Town Alamogordo and the Tularosa Basin Historical Museum to learn about the old days, while the fascinating New Mexico Museum of Space History and IMAX Theater will bring you back to the innovative 21st century.
Families can have educational fun at the Alameda Park Zoo, Kids Kingdom, and the Toy Train Depot and Train Museum.
The mild high-desert climate is conducive to outdoor activities in Alamogordo – you can try dune sledding at White Sands National Monument, hiking, camping, and wildlife watching at the Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, and hot air ballooning or desert-oasis golfing.
