    Lots of fireworks
    John K.

    I travel to 40 a lot, and this is the first time I have stopped at Bowlin's. From the outside, this place doesn't look too impressive and small. Once you get inside. Oh boy! Was I wrong. They have some really cool stuff that other road stop sites do not have plus they have a Dairy Queen. Anyway, the staff is very friendly and one guy in particular by the name of Ron who helped me out tremendously. He had a wealth of knowledge regarding pretty much everything in the store, especially fireworks. You know, it seems like customer service these days is almost nonexistent, but this place proved me wrong again. Gas station and Restrooms were clean. this will be one of my stops from here out when I come through town.

    Fun roadside souvenir spot with a wide range of cheap and expensive items. I bought a $12 baja and a $9 tee-shirt. They had a large range of styles/styles of tees, Baja's and other apparel. They also had some nice Knick-knacks like dream catchers and night lights. The bathrooms were clean, which is nice because they are the only option for about 40 miles. They also have gas but we didn't fuel up and I did not take note of their prices. Employees were friendly and one gave us a basic tour when we walked in "bathrooms this way, Dairy Queen that way and merchandise is in the middle". Decent spot to stretch your legs, use the toilet, and grab a reasonably priced warmer layer if you under packed.

    Turquoise and real silver jewelry made by local and indigenous artisans.

    The people who work here are so kind and friendly! Amazing selection of real silver & turquoise jewelry made by local artisans. A hidden gem! I got so many beautiful pieces of jewelry and other New Mexico souvenirs. The gift shop can keep you busy for hours! There is also a Dairy Queen to sit down and eat at.

    If you're on Route66 and you need to find a souvenir or gift that you can not find anywhere else, then the FlyingCRanch is the place to go!! They have everything and things you didnt even know you needed. The firework and jewelry selection spoke to my heart. The staff was very helpful and the jewelry was organized by size so you can pull a tray a go ham!!! So many turquoise pieces, I almost traded my daughter for LOL! If you have a love for bobbles and things. This store is a great stop for everyone.

    My review from yesterday

    This place deletes negative reviews that give constructive criticism of their business. I described my experience going in and seeing this dark skin young woman doing 110% making sure my family had everything we needed while the rest of the team members (mostly white) were on their phones not helping when she obviously needed it. That's not right and I explained how it made me uncomfortable to see that, but they deleted my review off their Google page. Racist much?

    What a fun, festive, friendly shop. Dogs welcome. Lots of affordable gifts and souvenirs. The better west coast version of South of the Border. Stop in & say hi! Yummy, true western tacos, burritos and ice cream, too.

    Old enough to vote & cool enough to bathe in.

    Years ago, I had a friend who had this event on her priority list. This is a thrilling annual…read moreevent and, if you can survive the truly hellish attempts at parking, I think this is a must-see spectacle. It's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade but with fire and the most chaotic up-close experience possible. I don't know it all seems to work without mayhem but it does. It's a viscerally invigorating time. If you arrive asleep, you will leave astounded by the blazing profusion of colors and flames and quiet ascension of balloons reaching into the sky. In other words, unlike that famous parade, you are in the mix and a part of it all. It's a whirlwind of the human spirit. The morning session is the ascent of the balloons. The silent takeoffs into the blue sky are like bubbles in boiling water and so serenely soothing to watch. The evening session are the balloons posing brightly at ground level all lit up from inside by the flames that keep them inflated. They are gigantic night lights adorning the large field. The fiesta has a large contingent of food stalls from the proverbial funnel cakes to Japanese ramen. There are souvenirs for sale and music to be heard. Families make this an annual tradition and I understand. People visit from around the world. My friend and I lost touch too long ago but I hope she made it here. She would have loved it.

    This event has been on my travel bucket list for years, and we finally made it happen in 2025! We…read morewere incredibly lucky with the weather since our visit was short, from late Thursday night to Sunday. We dedicated Friday morning to the Balloon Fiesta, and aside from the drone show being canceled, everything went perfectly. Getting there was easy using the Park & Ride from Coronado Mall. You do have to wake up early since the buses start running at 4 a.m., and we arrived about 25 minutes later. Once there, we found plenty of carnival and fair-style food. Some highlights were the green chili cheese curds, Frito pie, and an Indian food vendor serving delicious chicken marsala burritos. We walked around while waiting for Dawn Patrol, and by 7 a.m., the sky was alive with color. The first to launch were the Rainbow Riders which are massive balloons carrying over 20 passengers each. Soon after, the sky filled with hundreds of vibrant balloons, including the fun "special shapes" from the rodeo lineup. Everywhere we looked, there was something new to admire, there are over 500 balloons in total! We also learned about Albuquerque's unique wind pattern known as the Albuquerque Box, which allows pilots to take off, fly south, and then, by changing altitude, catch a return wind that brings them back to the launch site. It's the only place in the world where this phenomenon happens, making it ideal for hot air ballooning. Seeing the Balloon Fiesta in person was absolutely magical, it is a breathtaking experience that everyone should witness at least once.
