If your idea of a great museum is one with signs that say ‘Please Touch’, Albuquerque's New Mexico Museum of Natural History is just the place for you. Visit the museum's Time Tracks exhibit to journey through billions of years of history from the big bang that created the universe to the present era. You can also mingle with dinosaur bones, visit the cave exhibit, and walk through a volcano. Align yourself with the stars at the Planetarium and check out the museum’s new Lockheed-Martin DynaTheatre, featuring large format, enhanced 3-D films. Allow yourself at least two hours to explore all of the exhibits. The DynaTheatre and Planetarium have separate entrance fees. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except holidays.
