Around the corner from where we currently live there's a Festival once a year called the Apache Rattlesnake Festival. In 2012 we went for the first time, 2013 I skipped b/c my wife was deployed, but this year we went again.
It's really nice there, lots of people, food, stuff to buy, kids rides and snakes. Lots of snakes. They have a 5-10min snake "show" in the snake pit, telling you about different kinds of snakes and what to do in case you cross path with one.
I think it's pretty interesting and very educational for kids.
Here are some pictures:

This is also where I tried my first fried rattlesnake ever. It tastes okay but it's not becoming my favorite snack...

I think it's well spend quality time if you are local.
