Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near New Mexico

While in New Mexico, you might enjoy a visit to:

Every September, a 100-foot-tall paper man is set afire on a hill overlooking the city.
~22 miles from Chimayo.

Tiny miniatures -- too many to count -- in mechanical motion, the life's work of the late Ross Ward, in a warren of buildings made of bottles and cemented rocks. Also: the pants of a former World's Tallest Man.
~62 miles from Chimayo.

Formerly the National Atomic Museum. Replicas of the A-bombs dropped on Japan, and geiger counters and flash goggles for sale in a well-stocked gift shop.
~73 miles from Chimayo.

Lots of rattlesnakes behind glass. Feeding time is always a treat, but not for the mice.
