American International Rattlesnake Museum

The American International Rattlesnake Museum is located in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The museum is an exciting and educational experience for the entire family. This animal conservation museum reveals the hundreds of ways that rattlesnakes and other "less desirable" animals influence our lives.

Examples are given through artifacts, memorabilia and the largest collection of different species of live rattlesnakes in the world. The Rattlesnake Museum hosts more different species than the Bronx Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, the

National Zoo, the Denver Zoo, the San Francisco Zoo and the San Diego Zoo combined. In addition to rattlesnakes, the museum holds a live Gila Monster.

Species from North, Central and South America are presented in beautifully recreated habitats. Myths are explored, phobias cured and mysteries revealed at this must-see museum of the Southwest.

It's a wonderful way for your family to share in this fascinating, mysterious and misunderstood corner of the animal kingdom.

A fieldtrip for the whole family and out-of-town visitors!
