GO.

Albuquerque is much more than a desert. As a home to gorgeous vistas, rich history and authentic art scenes, this city is perfect for spending a day (or a week!) touring. While you’re in the area, GO to these places for a remarkable Albuquerque experience.

  • See the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. This annual nine-day festival takes place every October. Each day is filled with thrilling events, including laser light shows, dawn patrol, car shows and more. Prepare to be amazed during the festival’s mass ascensions, when hundreds of balloons fill the horizon with bright colors.
  • Explore the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Albuquerque was originally home to Pueblo tribes, whose cultures are preserved at the Center. Spend a day walking through the permanent collection, dining on new Native American cuisine and shopping for authentic handcrafted Native American art, pottery and jewelry.
  • Attend a show at the Kimo Theatre. Thanks to preservation efforts, you would never guess this marvelous theatre is almost a century old. The historic venue features a variety of shows, ranging from musical performances to comedy.
  • Beat the heat at the Hinkle Family Fun Center. Open year-round, this amusement center offers an activity for all ages. Get your kicks with go karts, immersive virtual reality, bumper boats, mini golf, blacklight laser tag, paintball, rock climbing and more.

 GET.

Don’t walk away from Albuquerque empty-handed. While you visit the area, make sure to GET a couple of things to help you remember your time in New Mexico.

  • Snap a few pictures while riding the Sandia Peak Tramway. The tramway’s cable cars carry passengers 2.7 miles from Albuquerque and the summit of Sandia Peak. Watch as you travel above deep canyons and breathtaking terrain before you reach the observation deck on Sandia Peak. Bring your camera for an amazing 11,000 square-mile panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley and Land of Enchantment.
  • Pick up a souvenir in Old Town Albuquerque. Walk around Old Town’s cobblestone streets and brightly colored adobe huts, which have been converted into galleries, restaurants and shops. While there, visit the San Felipe de Neri Perish, Albuquerque’s oldest building, which acts as a rectory, convent, school and museum.
