I guess our number one attraction is Mesilla. It's basically a little village which is now kind of centered on a plaza with shops and restaurants. At one point in time it was the most popular spot between Texas, California, Mexico, and the North. It was a popular crossroads trading spot, but now it's just a quaint little community with shopping and dining.
For children we have the Bataan Death March Memorial which features heroes of Bataan. It is the only federally funded memorial dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Bataan Death March during World War II. The Fort Selden State Monument is also really neat for children to see. We don't have any zoos or amusement parks unfortunately, but we do have a pretty good sized water park between here and El Paso called Wet and Wild Water Park. It's about a 20 minute drive from here.
