Rattlesnake Museum & Gift Shop

This was a really cool museum. I wasn't sure what to expect but it surely surpassed what I had in mind. It had everything my husband was looking for the entire time we've been in TX NM and CO. The snakes are incredible. They had venomous and non venomous snakes. The lizard and tarantula was cool to. The gift shop has all sorts of stuff from shirts and necklaces to shark teeth and arrow heads. So much more. This is definitely worth the trip if you like the outdoors and the wild.

This place was an absolute delight! Some of the snakes were strikingly beautiful - especially the Albino! I appreciated how some exhibits challenged the old notions of snakes as symbols of evil. The displays were vibrant, and full of surprises, with the Gila monster stealing the show. Scattered fun facts kept the experience lively, and the curator was a joy to chat with. The museum also touches on the curious history of snake oil, with all its claims of healing powers - reminding us that the snake’s place in culture is as complex as it is misunderstood. Truly a must-visit, not just for the reptiles themselves but also for the way the museum explores how snakes have been perceived across history and cultures. A place this good? You could say it really knows how to rattle up some charm 🐍!

Finally snakes!! I have been all over Texas and New Mexico and Colorado and finally someone who had snakes. You would not believe how awesome this place is and a treasure trove if your into snakes. This place was awesome. All different kinds of snakes venomous and some non venomous. Tarantula and lizards. What a combo. Anyone who enjoys outside would enjoy this. Definitely recommend!

Lots of knowledge, lots of memorabilia, and yeah, lots and lots of snakes!! Awesome museum dedicated to rattlesnakes. There are short films and fun facts throughout. And the owner is a very friendly guy with a wealth of knowledge!

I absolutely loved the rattlesnake museum and I will be back. It's a small museum but I still spend a lot of time there and it was not just snakes but the art and history and culture involving snakes as well. Just a cool collection and a tortoise named Georgie who roams the museum. I had a really great time and I recommend it.

I've been wanting to visit for a while and I was not disappointed. There are so many different live breeds of rattle snakes, also a couple turtles and a Gila monster. The owners are so knowledgeable and the museum is very educational, we loved it.

Definitely a must stop if you are visiting Albuquerque. We were driving through on our way to Arizona and I'm glad my husband found this museum. Educational and fun for the entire family plus they have great gift shop

It was a great experience! Really fun and educating. If you like snakes, reptiles or animals you should definitely go if you are in the area and don’t be afraid to ask questions!
