 Rattlesnake Museum by lovemycacti
You're at The Rattlesnake Museum, the largest collection of different LIVE rattlesnakes in the world. They boast that they have more rattlesnakes than the Bronx Zoo, Philadelphia Zoo, National Zoo, Denver Zoo, San Fransisco Zoo and the San Diego Zoo combined!
Also calling this living museum home is a Gila Monster (absolutely gorgeous, brightly coloured beaded lizard) and a veiled chameleon. Tapping on their glass cases is NOT nice, so don't do that.
Be sure to pick up a souvenier in their gift shop. Brave souls can have their picture taken with a live snake and everyone receives a certificate of bravery.
Open daily 10am-6pm, Sundays 1pm-6pm.
Closed major holidays. Small admission fee. Leave a Comment

 The Rattlesnake Museum.
SNAKES! by MatthewMetcalfe
Obviously they have a large collection of Rattlesnakes. In addition to that they have some lizards, spiders (tarantulas) and other snakes. The Rattlesnakes though are the main attraction. In the back room tucked away in the corner was a Diamondback who had no desire to be looked at. When I walked up to check out the snake it coiled up and began rattling to warn me that he wasn't looking for a new friend. Although I've been around a lot of snakes, I've never heard a rattlesnake "in the flesh". It certainly makes you take notice.
When you are done, pick up a rattlesnake museum souvenir! Leave a Comment Address: 202 San Felipe Suite APhone: (505) 242-6569Directions: Located in the heart of Old Town on San Felipe. There is a parking lot right across the street from the museum.Website: www.rattlesnakes.com

Usually a half hour show about nature is projected in an auditorium at the first floor.
During your tour of the old town you should take this detour... Leave a Comment

Visiting the astronomy center is a wake-up call. You suddenly realize how little of a "fish" you are in a giant system of "oceans." Awe-inspiring, slightly frightening at the realization of the birth of our planet and the solar system, a trip to the LodeStar Astonomy Center makes for terrific discussion if nothing else!
The light shows are spectacular, averaged priced, and a great way to spend two hours. Conviently located at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Center, shop in the StarWorks astronomy store for celestial gifts.
Open daily from 9am-5pm, exept Christmas, Thanksgiving, and non-holiday Mondays in January and September. Leave a Comment Address: 1801 Mountain Road NWPhone: (505) 841-5955Directions: Old Town Area
