I would give this a 5 but holy cow the price of the roast beef sandwich was $18.00!!! Not even a foot long either and not a lot of meat. Anyway, lots of cool souvenirs, t-shirts ($30!) and such. But they are pricey. I guess they figure there s not really much selling these kind of things around here so the prices are higher. Good photo ops here though.

Cool for the photos from the outside but its just a trucker stop. Nothing special inside. Toilets are filthy.Take some photos and go to the stop opposite.

Burger was crazy good. We got the alien burger with seasoned fries. Waitress was super sweet. Looking forward to making this a regular stop on our way from Vegas every summer.

Nestled along the extraterrestrial-themed highway, the Area 51 Alien Center beckons with its promise of otherworldly encounters and quirky delights. As a fan of all things mysterious and unexplained, I couldn't resist the allure of this eccentric establishment. My visit was an experience to remember, filled with a mix of excitement, wonder, and a dash of tongue-in-cheek humor.Upon arrival, I was greeted by alien statues , setting the tone for the otherworldly adventure ahead. The exterior alone was worth the stop, providing ample photo opportunities for those seeking to capture a bit of extraterrestrial magic.Stepping inside, I was met with an eclectic array of souvenirs, ranging from alien-themed trinkets to conspiracy theory memorabilia. From t-shirts emblazoned with "I Survived Area 51" to miniature green aliens, the shop offered a delightful assortment of keepsakes sure to please any UFO enthusiast or pop culture aficionado.One of the highlights of my visit was the Alien Research Center, a section dedicated to the lore and legends surrounding Area 51. Here, I immersed myself in conspiracy theories, UFO sightings, and alleged government cover-ups. While some exhibits leaned heavily into the realm of speculation, they added an element of intrigue to the experience and sparked lively conversations among visitors.Overall, my visit to the Area 51 Alien Center was a memorable experience filled with laughter, curiosity, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Whether you're a true believer in extraterrestrial life or simply looking for a lighthearted adventure, this quirky shop is sure to entertain and delight. Just remember to keep an open mind and be prepared for a journey that's out of this world.

It s quirky, different and definitely a stop by spot if you are passing through. There is a little burger and sandwich spot at the back with some out of the world names to try.

This place was the best!!! I was just passing through and seen it and had to stop. I had never heard of this place but I am so glad that we stopped. Me and my family stopped and enjoyed the aliens and got some really cool souvenirs. I would recommend this place to everyone! My children also loved it because it reminded them of Area 51 in some really cool movies like Escape From Planet Earth. No it is not a 7/11 but it was still really cool. If the owner reads this,, if possible add movie references to this place and get slurpee involved. This is a small very cool store and restaurant with so much potential I believe it should be a major attraction. I will definitely be coming back here in the future!

I love this place. Alien shirts and souvenirs. Plenty of free truck parking! They have new souvenirs and shirts! I would like to meet some extra terrestrial beings, preferably without being abducted! I have not tried the restaurant yet! So much more to experience. Thank you!Edited. The diesel fuel pumps are broken.

I've been to this location 3 times and for 1 reason The Area 51 Alien Cathouse Brothel next door. I've had fun with 3 princesses next door in the Brothel by the name of princess Jade, princess Paige Nicole, & princess Inara Sera. I always show up early before they open so I get first choice. So I hang out inside the visitor center. They have alot of green Aliens all over the shop along with plenty of merchandise and there is a 50s style diner in the back that's reminds me alot of GREASE. A little FYI that's me as Captain Kirk with those aliens. Im waiting for the Brothel next door to open so I can begin negotiations with the extraterrestrial princesses Inside.

Funny alien themed gift shop on the way to Death Valley. Bought a nice t-shirt here, you can find also food and alcohol.

Nice little gift shop with a lot of extra terrestrial novelties. Although the cafe was not open, mid afternoon. Good selection of soft drinks. Also a gas station and a chicken ranch.

We drove to see the museum however, this is not a museum. It is a souvenir shop that has alien themed merchandise for all ages. So, it was cool but we were hoping to get educated on Area 51 and stories similar to what Roswell, New Mexico has which for anyone looking for a super cool museum. I would recommend that place. Will say the drive to Area 51 Alien Center from Las Vegas is absolutely beautiful and worth the drive on its own to see the beautiful mountains.

Fun stop. About an hour from Vegas. It has a Brothel (walk-ins available starting at 10 am), gas station, and fireworks. What more could you ask for?! Convenient store offers tons of t-shirts, stickers, and other alien souvenirs plus your favorite go to road snacks and drinks. This place is popular with truckers,jeep clubs, motorcycle clubs, and tourists.

Stopped real quick to scope out the location. It s a mini mart with cafe and brothel attached and gas outside. Quite a few energy drinks. It has clothing and trinkets with an alien flair. Cashier was attentive in answering questions and giving suggestions. Quite a few people taking pictures with props.

This is a general store. Money grab. "Area 51 Alien Center" makes it sound like some sort of alien exhibit, which it's not. But if you need a snack or soft drink, or gas, this is the place. Otherwise, keep driving.

Meh. Kind of silly and they wouldn t let me take my purchase with me when I said I was heading back to the restrooms. Found that a bit offensive. Couldn t get my gas at the pump either. Wehad to go in to pay.

Truck parking, bathrooms, food and gifts. Location was clean but very crowed. It's one of the only places to stop for 100 miles

We were on our way to Beatty and we saw it from the road, we got curious and stopped to see it. Unfortunately we couldn't see the museum, I would have liked to, so I can't give my opinion on it.The store is fantastic, it has a lot of references to popular culture about UFO sightings and area 51, it's great!. I bought myself a magnet that now adorns my fridge and my friend bought a t-shirt.It's great, if you pass by there, stop, you're not gonna regrets.

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.

Very interesting place. Big store and good atmosphere here, a lot of different products for everyone if you like a aliens. They have a cafe inside, also you can grab a quick snack and coffee. Gas and diesel fuel here and about 10 to 20 trucks you can fit here. Also they have a bar/cat house. If you passing through, stop by.

In A Nutshell:-The Area 51 Alien Travel Center is just a small gift shop/convenience store/gas station in the middle of nowhere.-It's worth checking out if you are in the area, but I wouldn't consider The Strip being in the area.-It's about a 1 hour drive from Vegas.-If you need a drive to clear your mind, this place is a nice spot to check out & then turnaround.-They have alien-themed & Area 51 knickknacks.Overall, this is an okay gift shop, but I wish it could've been better like better gift options.

Fun place to stop for adults and kids. They have everything including a diner in the back if you want to sit and eat. However, priced to high on souvenirs. Wanted to get two t-shirts for two 7yr Olds and it would have been almost $40! Kids t-shirts should be $6.99 tops! Owners. You'll sell a lot more souvenirs if you lower prices, a magnet for $10?! Still a cute place to stop on road trips

An hour and a half away from Las Vegas but they are open 24/7! Cool souvenirs and snacks! Really worth the drive to get there. You can ask them how to get to the Area 51. Staff are knowledgeable. Cute gift shop!
