If so, where was it exactly? I used to live in Nogal and my mom took me there a lot and I thought it was on the road from Alamogordo to Las Cruces, but I was told that is not correct.

Memory not being what it should be, I seem to recall that Bowlin's Running Indian (now on US-54) was once located on US-70, between Alamo and White Sands, and it advertised a "snake pit." Could have been another tourist trap besides Bowlin's.

I remember the family that owned a restaurant on White Sands and 10th I believe. Across from the southern edge of the park was that 10th? Nice people.

The only snake display I remember is the one at the small zoo near the park off the main road. Alameda Park and Zoo?

I lived in the Tinsley Trailer Park in the 70s. I could hear the lion roaring in the park.

It wasn't where I thought it was but that's the one! We used to go there on feeding day and even though I was a kind hearted girl, I was still facinated by the snakes eating chicks. Thank you!
