See Bigfoot in person! Walk the tunnel of discovery! Documentation of the Bigfoots of Lincoln National Forest and beyond!

There appears to be just as much, if not more, space devoted to the gift shop than to the museum exhibits, but if you want to buy some Bigfoot Taco Sauce in New Mexico, this is the place to go.
