What a cool part of history preserved by Chamizal National Memorial! With excellent audio-visual presentations along with exhibits chronicling the timeline of this unique border dispute, the National Memorial really explains this unique part of history in a compelling, yet digestible manner. The park staff are wonderful and were so kind with our Junior Rangers and our many questions.

What an amazing experience! The Museum of Space History was not only educational, but super fun and interesting. Starting with the gravesite of Ham, the first chimp in space, on the walk up, the museum continues to amaze with the breadth and depth of artifacts and exhibits. Everything from the moon replica hanging behind Walter Cronkite as he was reporting on the moon landing, to space simulation exhibits, to an exhibit on space in science fiction, the museum was a joy for all of us (four kids and an adult).
