The museum also has a fun seed bank. It's a very quick drive out of Albuquerque, but it feels like it's worlds away from the city. Honestly, if you're in Albuquerque, there's little reason not to visit.

From the owner: Tijeras Pueblo Archaeological Site is an ancient pueblo which was constructed and occupied from AD…read more1313 to 1425. It originally consisted of 200 rooms and was inhabited by perhaps 250 people. As the population waned, much of the structure deteriorated. However around 1390, there was a burst of new construction with approximately 100 rooms built on top of the original site. This structure was occupied until around 1425. Excavations of the site began in 1930, with the most recent conducted from 1971 to 1976. Upon completion of the field work, the site was back-filled to protect it from the elements and from looters. The site today includes the mound with a 1/3-mile-long trail with signage and a wheel-chair-accessible museum featuring educational exhibits. The Friends of Tijeras Pueblo provide membership, volunteer opportunities, monthly lectures, workshops, a Junior Archaeology Program, field trips, and other fun family activities. A bookstore is located in the nearby Sandia Ranger Station with maps, hiking guides, and area-related books.

The heritage area is a great place to explore, and the staff, who will help guide your trip, are stellar.

It's a really fantastic show and it delineates the various age groups and activities that practice disciplines during the rest of the year. And it's a blast to take a toddler: dancing monkeys, a dashing dragon, bounding lions with enormous eyelashes and snapping jaws, that's entertainment, folks. I also managed to sneak in the front door the day prior, there's a lot going on in there. Gift shop, a hall with mirrors, from an architectural and interior design perspective it felt very eastern: covered in bright hues, every inch of the space honored. Even for the novice, this place is well worth a visit. Thanks for letting us in on the celebration, CCC.

This is the absolute WORST facility in town to rent for an event. We had the misfortune of hosting…read moreour wedding reception here and I wish I could go back in time and go somewhere else. The managers are thieves, negligent and and racist. Anthony Roybal met with me a couple weeks before to go over the details of renting and he hand wrote a "contract" on scratch paper and took my deposit in cash only. He informed us that the biggest rule was we could not have outside drinks in the venue for the night of the reception and I agreed to abide. During the rehearsal dinner someone had purchased a small case of bottled water for the bridal party and shortly after our rehearsal began I got a call from Anthony. Before I could even answer the phone he was screaming and cursing at me about the water. He said that he would come down the bar and personally "kick every single ass out of there" and he didn't give a "fuck" that it was the night before our wedding. He made me cry and berated me for almost 20 minutes the night before my own wedding. During the reception he was over serving alcohol, did not even know drink ingredients, and served to a minor. I do not believe he is a licensed bartender and should not be allowed to serve any event. We had an African American friend walk into the bar with my groom and as they entered Anthony proclaimed "sorry we don't serve bananas in here." My husband said he was in absolute disbelief that he would actually say something like that. He was incredibly rude to my brother who ordered and liquid marijuana and Anthony asked what was in it and when my brother said "you're the bartender, shouldn't you know?" Anthony replied "you should fucking know what you're drinking" At the end of the reception he stole $150 from my mom. Our contract stated we owed $400 for the rental fee and he charged her $450 and then proceeded to tell her that there was a $100 bar fee that he could only accept in cash. This was never mentioned or written in our contract. When asked to return the money he said he didn't have it and I'm guessing that's why he wanted cash only. When I reached out to the other managers Adam and Miguel I was met with "deal with your issues with Anthony" and then ignored. I never got my $150 back that was stolen from my mom and we were never even given an apology for the absolutely horrible service to me as the bride and to my guests and family.
