Are you still thinking of the perfect way to spend time with the kids during Spring Break? Living in Albuquerque gives you plenty of exciting options. Here's a short list of some of the most kid-friendly activities in the area that are sure to thrill kids of all ages. (And you can keep them learning without them even realizing it.)

Albuquerque BioPark

At the Albuquerque BioPark, you can see sharks and polar bears living in the desert. The Albuquerque Zoo offers close encounters with animals from around the world. At the Albuquerque Aquarium, you'll discover how even though we live in a landlocked state, we are closer to the sea than you might think. The Albuquerque Botanic Garden is blooming with spring just around the corner. Then, finish it all off with a stroll through the Bosque or a trip to Tingley Beach.

New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science

Discover dinosaur bones and fossils up close at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. On this journey through time, visitors discover how the universe formed billions of years ago and how it evolved to the present day. Discover what the Land of Enchantment used to look like millions of years ago, and learn about creatures that once roamed the land. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions. With "Dogs, a Science Tail", visitors can learn why man's best friend is so special. This exhibit is on display through May 1.

American International Rattlesnake Museum

The American International Rattlesnake Museum is located in Old Town Albuquerque and houses rattlesnakes from all over the world. Discover why rattlesnakes don't deserve their bad reputation.

Petroglyph National Monument

Get outdoors by taking a hike on one of the trails at the Petroglyph National Monument, site of one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America. Native Americans and Spanish settlers carved symbols and designs into rocks hundreds of years ago, and the images can be viewed on a number of trails ranging from a short walk to a 2.2-mile hike.

Electric Playhouse

There's a lot going on at Electric Playhouse. Boredom will never set in with dozens of continually rotating games available. Kids and adults can play brain teasers together or burn some energy with games that require them to move. Every experience is unique!

National Museum of Nuclear Science and History

The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History teaches you about the Atomic Age. See how New Mexico contributed to nuclear science as we know it today. Visitors can also check out “To The Moon: Snoopy Soars with NASA,” an inside look at the Apollo 10 mission and Snoopy’s role in that flight. The exhibit runs through May 15.
