Albuquerque's Natural History museum is more focused on Dinosaurs than most, so if your kids are interested in Dinosaurs, this is a great place to take them. New Mexico had its own indigenous dinosaurs, and many bones were well preserved because of the dry air. The "Dynatheater" shows movies that help kids learn about Dinosaurs and feature huge animated dinosaurs.
