Keep your expectations small and go for the kitsch of this funky little museum and you’ll have a good time at Albuquerque's American Internaional Rattlesnake Museum. Over 100 rattlers behind glass and some nature videos in two tiny rooms isn’t exactly the Smithsonian, but hey, what do you expect for a mere $5 admission? The small scale might be just right for kids, who can wander around looking at the scary critters in a minimal amount of time. The gift shop is the focus here, with all kinds of reptile kitsch to take home, like rattlesnake mugs, plastic tarantulas, and oddball t-shirts.
