Alright. So all you've seen so far is the same Joshua Tree and cactuses for the past 100 miles. Then this rusted giant of an alien stands, inviting you in, to secret research center. The Lady behind the counter, has been there since the beginning. Always super friendly. Buy something expensive, because sure that online retailer has it too, but this is the Research Center.

This is a must stop! If you are wanting Souvenirs to take home to your family this is the place there’s not a whole lot after this going to area 51 except and Rachel. The lady that runs it was super nice and helpful and plus funny I would definitely recommend:)

Arrived in the Nevada winter weather. This place is well worth the visit if you’re heading up into the unknown 👽. The lady was lovely and be sure to check its open, it’s cold up there so the door is shut for obvious reasons, I’ve seen a lot of reviews and assumptions they’re closed but they’re not! Will be returning on our next road trip!!

Area 51 is the most secretive base in America and stopping at a local place to grab a souvenir while out in the middle of nowhere makes the trip worth while especially for the kids, I do feel they can do a little bit of organizing the gift shop to make it more exciting for the kids and have a better selection of alien related stuff, there was a Christmas tree in a area and a bunch of mad max mask that didn’t have anything to do with aliens. Any who we appreciated the store and it being opened so thank you. 👽🛸👽🛸👽🛸👽🛸

Store was closed when I showed up. Address was incorrect and we went to Hiko Nevada first. This is Located in Crystal Springs, Nevada. Lots of parking. Wheelchair accessible. ♿️ Even though it was closed, when we got there, to me it was worth the picture with the giant metal alien.

So many cool little (and large) things to look at. Some great little souvenirs to buy. A nice little stop on our trip to Area 51 👽👾🛸 …

We lucked out and it was open when we stopped! Don’t expect it to be, which makes sense due to area 51! We bought some of the tequila and it’s yummy. Definitely worth the visit if it’s on your way
