Places to eat
Whether you're just visiting or passing through, we all need to eat! Having spent about a month here, I found some of the best places to eat!
One of the tastiest places we stopped at while in Alamogordo! You can't go wrong with Brown Bag Deli for lunch.

If you're looking for a burger that's a step up from what the golden arches provide, this is a solid option! My personal favorite was just a plain cheeseburger and the seasoned fries.
Blake's Lotaburger
We ended up stopping here several times for a quick bite to eat when we were out. And the name made my two boys laugh, so that was a bonus. But seriously, how can you go wrong with a corn dog and french fries? My kids ate everything (its own win) and...
Wienerschnitzel
This was, hands down, some of the best pizza I have ever had! I wish we would have had some to take home as leftovers, but there was nothing left!

Learn how pistachios are grown, grab your favorite flavor from the gift shop and then end your trip with some homemade ice cream! They have several flavor options and they were all great!
HOMEMADE Ice Cream at PistachioLand
Looking for another sweet treat option? Caliche's had so many options, we ended up with the chocolate covered cherry and butter pecan pints and ate them while watching a movie at home.

Bring your kids along for the adventure? Tired of hearing them tell you how bored they are or that “we never do anything fun!” then you might like some of the options on this list specifically!

I am now the proud owner of a photo in front of the world's largest pistachio! You can stop and take your photo and leave or go inside for something from the gift shop and take the ride through the farmt to learn all about pistachios.

Have you ever gone sledding in July? In the desert? Because I have and it was a blast. We went twice: once to sled and once to watch the sunset (which was amazing).

This store was huge! And the prices were amazing. It's well organized and the staff was kind. They have all types of furniture, clothing, shoes, an Amazon return section, and even food. We stopped here to get some toys for my kids to play with and ca...
