What families say
This small Old Town museum packs in a wide variety of rattlesnakes (plus a Gila monster and albino specimen), each clearly labeled, with knowledgeable staff happy to answer kids' questions and share fun facts—expect about an hour for the visit. Beyond the snakes, there's a Steve Irwin memorial display, exhibits on snake symbolism and history (including snake oil lore), and a rattlesnake-themed gift shop with handcrafted glass figures. Reviewers consistently rave about it as a highlight of an Albuquerque trip, with no complaints noted.
