Alamogordo is home to the New Mexico Museum of Space History and IMAX theater. You can often see Stealth fighters in the sky over Holloman Air Force Base. Twice a year White Sands Missile Range offers trips to the Trintiy Site, where the first atomic bomb was tested during World War II. Nearby White Sands National Monument preserves a portion of the world's largest gypsum dune fields. You can drive through the dunes, then stop at one of the numerous picnic areas. Kids of all ages love sliding down the dunes on plastic saucers. Special events are held regularly including full moon nights and trips to Lake Lucero, a dry lake that is the source of the White Sands.
