Don't Miss the Tinkertown Museum in Sandia Park, New Mexico

One of my suggested things to do near Albuquerque New Mexico.
Not far from Route 66, on the road to the Sandia Crest, be sure and stop at the Tinkertown Museum. This stop was such a surprise! A whimsical museum of the art hand crafted by Ross Ward. His life's work is on display and he was so incredibly talented!! Put this tourist attraction on your list!
Please note this museum is open from April to November, Friday/Sat/Sun/Mon only.

    This definitely doesn’t look like your everyday kind of museum, it’s looks so different unique and cool, I love the arrangement as well. Have enjoyed your video and definitely I’ll be back for more.

    That is really something to think one man made all of this. I bet it was fun for the kids when it came through town. The boat is a fun story too.

    I had never heard of the Tinkertown Museum. This is fascinating. I do love the circus and am fascinated by circus history so that exhibit was a favorite. Fritz's voyage sounds like it was exciting but also pretty painful. Thanks for giving us a tour. This is a memorial to the artist's abundabt creativity!

    I feel like I've seen this place somewhere before. My favorite bit though it's that mural with details of the man's voyage - especially the first wife went home part. 🤣

    I loved it too! I am so envious of that type of adventure! I found out later a co-worker of mine spent 2-3 weeks on that boat in the Mediterranean! 😮😮

    Wow, very cool place. The miniatures are great and I certainly love me an old-fashion penny arcade (er, make that quarter arcade). I also love the map about the boat voyage with its interesting notes 😃
