Best Albuquerque Museum
by iroberts at Citysearch
If you only have time to visit one museum in Albuquerque, this is it. There is nothing like it anywhere else. I was there 11 years ago and revisited two weeks ago. Because it was Balloon Fiesta week in Albuquerque, they had live dance performances every day, not just on weekends. They also had an arts and crafts show and sale all around the courtyard. We had a great lunch in the restaurant.
- Pros: Inexpensive, Educational, Good parking
