Best places: Visitor centers in Artesia, United States

Visitor center with exhibits on cavern history & wildlife, plus a gift shop, cafeteria & bookstore.

Reserve protecting portions of a vast gypsum dunefield covering 275 square miles of desert.

Observatory at UT Austin with an exhibit gallery, theater for solar viewings & tours of telescopes.

👍 While the cemetery and museum are not located in exactly the same location, you really can't do one without checking out the other. The actual visitors center located at the cemetery was not open. However, the Billy the Kid museum is just a few blocks away and well worth the $5 entry fee. We visited...

👍👍 Stopped here when I got into town. You can pickup a map and friendly staff will give you highlights and tips of the town. There is a photo opp with some cute aliens as well. A bit of merchandise for sale and my favorite the smooshed penny machine. For 51 cents you can get one of either 3 or 4 images...

👍👍 For commercial trucks used South Gate.!! Take 467 s and drove about 5.5 miles to south side.!!

Visitor center near one of the park's most popular trails, offering limited services & short film.
