Whether your visit lasts a day or a lifetime, you'll find Albuquerque, NM is just chock-full of things to see, do and experience, and every so often I like to spotlight one of these Albuquerque highlights for tourists and natives alike here in this blog. Today's choice (a favorite with every dinosaur-loving kid) is the Albuquerque Museum of Natural History.

In addition to those perennial dino-favorites, the museum features an Ice Age Cave, an active volcano )OK, Mom, don't worry-- it's simulated!) and a trip back in time to the New Mexico seashore (yes, once upon a time we had one of those in arid New Mexico!).

The Dyna-Max Theater brings the latest technology to the presentation of a continuous procession of great features such as "Everest" and "Coral Reef Adventure." Currently playing at the DynaTheater are Dinosaurs Alive! and The Living Sea.

The Museum also offers various lectures and other presentations at various times. Here is the upcoming calendar of events for the next few weeks:

The Albuquerque Museum of Natural History is located at 1801 Mountain Rd. NW in Albuquerque, New Mexico (right near Old Town!) and is open daily from 9-5. Check out the virtual tour, and then come visit in person!
