    These are the people blocking our view. The sign say keep aisles clear

    I agree with the comments on how bad it was getting into the concert. Driving in, Parking, entry into the park all terrible. we had people standing in front of us for the whole concert. The attendant, Ernest, allowed his friends to stand in the aisle thru the whole concert . He completely ignored several people and other attendants who told to clear the aisle. What a sphincter muscle Paul Mcartney and band were fantastic.

    Isleta Amphitheater

    The amphitheater is a popular venue for concerts. It is a great place for live music/concert. The only bad thing is that the food and drinks are very expensive and limited. A beer is $18 plus tax, $21 a beer is way over priced. Hot dogs (small/regular size) $10, corn dogs $8, pretzels $8 (medium sized, very dry). Bring sealed water bottles and eat before/after the concert. The concert by Alabama Shakes was amazing..... 5 stars for the band.

    Good Amphitheater! Pros: good sound quality, no place is a bad seat. Cons: no internet/cell service- so online ticket, ride share ordering is nearly impossible. Planning ahead is a must.

    Great venue for a concert! I don't think there is a bad seat anywhere here. It's very large with a lawn and has rental chairs available. Plenty of alcohol and food stands throughout the amphitheater. Parking is a bit of a mess and seemed unorganized. Definitely pay the extra for preferred parking as it takes you all the way up to the front entrance. We had an amazing time here watching Jason Aldean and would definitely come back. Enjoy!

    The crowd during a concert

    We went to the backstreet boys concert. It was amazing. But I couldn't really enjoy it till there was a breeze because of the weed smell coming from everywhere. I know it's outside..I know it's legal..but I'm allergic. It's hard to breath in a crowd...so I went looking for help and all I got from the vendors is that the area was closed...I didn't find where medical was till after the show and the breeze had come. This place is also on steep hills and there was handicap people walking long walks with no help after the show..before the show it seemed like there were carts taking people around. It's on a incline towards the stage and that made the sound carry amazingly. I feel like there should be no smoking in the seating area...a map to help people...and helping people get to there cars afterwards as well. But here is the crowd that it can hold.

    I usually avoid the Isleta Amphitheater like the plague. It is the main destination for concerts in Albuquerque and I loathe large crowds. Parking is a hot mess and concessions are extremely expensive. My past experiences have been a headache and I've spent more time stressing about logistics and waiting for the bathroom than enjoying the music and time with friends. We gave it another go tonight, however, because my husband won two VIP box tickets including VIP parking and catered meals from 97.3 for the Janet Jackson concert. We couldn't pass up a free VIP experience! It's too bad that we can never afford these seats again because VIP is the only way to do the Isleta Amphitheater! We literally parked steps away from the VIP club where we were treated to a private concert by a local cover band and were served a catered meal by Canvas Artistry (who I have been dying to try!). I did purchase a peach pale ale and the girl serving me told me the beer was a whopping $16. I only found out later that there was a smaller size available and that she had pulled something over on me, which sucks. However, the beer was tasty so I split it with my husband. Our seats had the best view. We could see over the heads of everyone in front - even when they stood with cell phones in hand. We also had a private waitress to fetch drinks and snacks - including unlimited popcorn for just $10. However, there was a $3.15 fee (undisclosed) for using the private waitress. We would have been fine with the fee but it should have been disclosed. My favorite part was the exclusive VIP bathrooms without the line. All in all, go the VIP route if you can afford it but there has to be a better way to see a concert. I was also informed that they only have 16 handicapped spaces for the entire venue that seats thousands.

    I have been coming here for years and years for concerts. Let me just say, that not only are the seats really small and cramped together, but the whole place is insanely expensive. $17 for a beer. Food is expensive and not even very good quality unless you get it from a food truck, and there are very few places to even sit down and eat your food, unless you want to eat on the ground. Also, very little shade options in the food and drinks area. So not only do you have to stand to try and eat, but you have to do it baking in 100 degree weather. When you first get there, they check your ID and give you a wristband to show you're 21, but when you order a drink, they check it again! What's the point of getting the wristband??? Aside from the overly strict alcohol polices, and the extortion-level prices, it's still not a great venue. At least the restrooms are semi-clean. Unfortunately this is the largest concert venue we have around here, so people have no choice but to go here for most concerts, and the owners know it, so they will continue to extort their patrons since they have the monopoly.

    Traffic is terrible and the security lines are extremely slow. Give yourself 1.5 hours to get there and get in.

    Do they allow smoking cigarettes? they mention vapes and e cigarettes but not a word about real cigarettes either way.

    People were smoking cigarettes on the lawn but I am not sure if that is "officially" permitted.

    How big is the GA Pit compared to other venues?

    The "pit" is on the average size. It's built in a natural decline, so it is very close to a natural amphitheater. The more cheaper area, general admission, is located in a grass option area. Most concerts or events I have participated have been in… Read more

I wandered the main house set up with ofrendas and read quickly about the history of the property. I'd like to come back and delve more into the details when there's not as much of a crowd to hurry you along. Unfortunately, the Dia de Los Muertos event itself was a bit disappointing (hence the 3 stars instead of 4 for the location itself). Only a few lowriders and food trucks were present. There was live music and dancing, but the procession itself was small and not like images of parades I've seen from the past.

The Gutierrez - Hubbell House was an undiscovered gem. I've lived in this town 20+ years, I'd never connected to this incredible organization/venue, but I'm headed back, soon. A few notes on why you MUST visit this farm/museum: lush, immaculate, expansive. Family-friendly, too. These acres own an identity that goes way back, 18th century, and you'll need to take a tour to learn the specifics, but the basics: east coast wanderer meets a Spanish girl, they start a family, become an invaluable resource in this city, and that's the way they all became the Gutierrez-Hubbell Bunch. Bah dum bum. Two hundred-plus years later the venue nearly falls victim to private investors, but a spirited group of locals volunteer to uphold a legacy. Gardens grow. Festivals flourish. The heritage of Albuquerque's south valley remains intact. The place is open year-round save holiday closures. Tours are easily scheduled, just call. There's so much to experience around here, the grounds are gorgeous, rows of produce pop outside the doors of the facility. The Fermentation Festival has become the largest fundraiser/educational event of their season, and from what I've learned, it's worth a visit, late June.

Don't assume just because it makes perfect sense to you, that the other 99% of us dense folks will know exactly what you meant. And, no, this business has absolutely nothing to do with fowl of any kind that I can discern. It is actually a great Co-Working Space. I stopped in to Free Range for an event that was happening there. While I was there, I asked to have a tour of the space. They were surprised, but very accommodating. I was surprised at how large a space it is and how many different options to work, collaborate and hold meetings of different sizes are available. Private office spaces. Conference rooms and large meeting rooms. Bright and airy spaces. Not cramped / swished together spaces that I have seen in some co-working spaces. If you are looking for an every-now-and-then space, or a more permanent "office" space, check out Free Range. Ask for a tour. They have plenty of parking . . . .and even a 2nd location in Nob Hill, if this location just west of the University doesn't work for you. Why did I only give them four stars? Well, because I haven't actually worked there . . .yet. But, when and if I need a co-working space, this will definitely be my go-to option.

Marshall hovered and lacked tack. Golf cart was constantly dinging loudly with offers for food or other upsells. The experience: Played 18 holes on the Mesa/Lakes course. Seemed nice, good availability, cart and practice area were included, practice balls were higher than average quality practice greens matched course conditions on most of the holes. Played in a foursome, started on time but the group behind was waiting on the tee when we started. We let them pass us but suddenly we were 15 minutes behind according to the cart. We keep track of our play and we were well within the 12 min per hole average. At the turn we were given a choice to play on the Arroyo versus the Lakes course as they pro said it was less crowded. We enjoyed Arroyo but were baffled as to the reason Mesa/Lakes was overbooked with a pushy marshal instead of spreading out play on all three courses. The course has all the ingredients of a great resort course but is being managed like a racetrack.

And the kicker was, when I went to the range there were only about 6 balls on the entire range to hit. I am not talking about my stall, the entire range. Had to go to the shed to get my own balls. I just get the sense that this place is falling apart, customer service feels like they are just putting up with you but really don't want your business. I won't be coming back anytime soon, and I only live 7 minutes from it. I would rather drive to Albuquerque and play a muni.
