We just arrived to Santa Fe for several days, for spring break! Thought i'd check i with BBB wisdom to see if any recs/must-sees, especially in the early spring/wintertime?
So far we have planned to do the following
- visit Plaza and do some boutique shopping (DS wants to go to the cutlery store to get a Swiss Army knife, DD wants to check out a toy store)
- Sandia Peak Tram
- Hot Air balloon museum (maybe)
Any other good recommendations (aside from skiing)? We'd like to do some sort of hiking, and do a few things to appreciate the amazing culture and history here. It's in the 20s-40s here but sunny and my kids have no issue with the cold (my son was literally sitting outside on the balcony in shorts and crocs). We'd be good with indoor activities as well (we wear masks). Would love any recommendations. People seem to recommend Taos - is it good for just basic hiking and appreciation of the local culture?
There is Georgia OKeefe museum - sounds interesting but would tweens get bored?
My DS is really into trains - would Sky Railway be good/worth it?
We flew up in to ABQ and are staying at a condo in Santa Fe which is awesome bc we can spread out and hang out and eat a lot of meals at home. Though we'd like to try a few authentic restaurants with New Mexico cuisine!
