Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum

Ready to geek out on hot-air balloons? This informative museum covers it all, from the first manned flight in Paris (1783) to Bernoulli's principle (how air pressure creates lift) and an actual Strato-Lab, which reached an altitude of 81,000ft in the 1950s. Take a stab at the balloon simulator here and you'll be ready for the real thing.
