We stopped by and the museum is now closed on Mondays and Fridays. We could only walk around the outdoor missiles.

If you aren't military affiliated, park in the lot outside the gate. Check in at the visitors center (or with the officer at the gate if the visitors center is closed).

The Rocket Garden and Museum is pretty good if you are into missiles and Cold War history. Just about 25 miles from Las Cruces, and right off of the Main Gate at White Sands. Not hard to get on to on post.
