 The definitive rattlesnake museum and gift shop |
202 San Felipe Northwest Suite A Albuquerque, NM 87104 United States +1 505 242 6569 http://www.rattlesnakes.com |
When you walk through the doors of this Old Town museum and shop, you may find yourself warily glancing behind the door. But there are no snakes slithering about the store, their crawl space is in the back room where you will find the most complete collection of live rattlesnake species in the world. Once you have toured the museum, return to the gift shop where rattlesnake memorabilia is the hiss. Just try and get through the front door without buying a Rattlesnake Museum logo T-shirt.

Albuquerque's Computer Revolution |
New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science 1801 Mountain Road NW Albuquerque, NM 87104 United States Museum: +1 505 841 2800 http://www.startupgallery.org |
Once upon a time, human beings lived life without the aid of computers. Then came folks like Bill Gates. STARTUP, a permanent gallery exhibition located inside the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, chronicles the fits and starts with which the microcomputing revolution began, right here in Albuquerque. Spearheaded by Gates and his compadres, this revolution gave birth to new ways of thinking and living, as well as a cavalcade of compelling new technological toys. Many of them are on display here, including early hardware prototypes, crude video games and even a dupe of nerd king Steve Wozniak's first desk. Entry is included with regular museum admission.

Tingley Beach is currently closed for renovations until 2006.

A narrow-gauge railroad links these beautiful areas together, and runs along the Bosque and the legendary Rio Grande. Once known as Tingley Beach, this revamped, regional park will encompass wonderful walkways, piers and a quaint shoreline landscape. Pull out the fishing gear and have a go at the stocked fishing hole free of charge or take some bread crumbs and feed the friendly ducks. Review © 2007, Wcities |
