This stadium is my favorite one to watch football games. It has an amazing view of the mountains…read more I've watched our kids perform at this stadium for many, many years. Tonight, we watched our grandson play his very first football game for his freshman year. There were only a few people working the ticketing booth. We waited our turn. We ordered our number of tickets, and then they asked for a phone number to send the tickets to. The tickets came via text with a link to the ticket. Easy breezy. Another important note, they have a clear bag policy only. Not even my husbands fanny pack was allowed. We walked through the metal detector and then we used the restrooms. They were clean for the most part. We stopped at concessions for some water. Speaking of water, they allow one small water bottle into the stadium brought from home. My husband remembered our stadium seats, and I remembered a lightweight jacket (that I didn't use). We, our whole family, had another fun evening under the lights together.

It helps if you figure out what you want to do ahead of time so you know the times when various performances will be held. Park and ride is the way to go.

I've been to a few state fairs previously but this was my first time at the New Mexico State Fair…read moreand I was somewhat excited to see what it had to offer. Overall, I thought the fair was a bit unorganized. It was held at EXPO on San Pedro/Lomas and it was hard to figure out which Gate to enter without having to circle around that large block of area. It would have been nicer if the organizers let us know the proper gates that would be convenient to attend. Also, parking was a bit confusing. There was no sign, whatsoever. You park and just walk around towards the center to find the area to purchase tickets/enter the area..but I wish there were more organizations of handicapped accessible parking and/or even a golf card ride to the entrance (in case you have someone senior/less accessible with you attending as well). Second, prices were pretty high. I understand it's a State Fair so there would naturally be an upcharge. But the regular ticket price of $15 and (if you park close to the fiar of $10) to start is actually quite high. Granted, anyone should take advantage of special admission day that can help bring the prices down to $1-2...that could help a bit. Prices of the vendors in there are..obviously very high. $5 for a bottle of soda, $8 for a cup of elote, $12 for Aqua fresca..and, frank,y $10++ for an entree. I don't think these were extremely high prices..but for...regular fare food quality..I'm not sure if I like to pay that much. I can't imagine how much a family who comes here would pay for members of the family...especially if you have kids and need to feed them food+entertain them with rides! Third, there were some nice shows/music around. I really enjoyed the sea lion shows and thought they were cute. But walking around..I also felt bad for some animals in some camped exhibition/van spage...like monkeys...etc. I honestly feel bad for them being captured/monetized that way. I can't imagine how bad their living conditions may be..unfortunately. Overall, I was glad I attended the state fair in NM finally. But...unless someone new in state who had never been to a fair would like to go..I can't imagine myself wanting to go again any time soon.

It was not crowded and you could probably find good seats anywhere. It was a little confusing walking in, as we didn't buy tickets ahead of time and weren't told which gate was selling tickets (which meant getting in another line). Parking wasn't bad either. But, $7 for hot chocolate? Ridiculous (I just wish the home team fans wouldn't boo the away team- sets a bad example for the rest of us)

They sell it at the game and always have deals! There is ample handicapped seating but the handicapped parking is lacking so get there early! This year they did a free family movie showing Coco on the field with free popcorn for all. It was a huge hit and so much fun! We loved it and hope they do more! The big screen was perfect and it was a great family friendly event!

The Albuquerque Museum is an absolute gem and, in my opinion, a must see when visiting! My husband…read moreand I visit frequently from Denver, CO as a weekend getaway and I can't recall a single trip where this stop hasn't been on our list. The Museum is well situated in Old Town and an easy bop over from the shops. In fact, if you visit on a Sunday morning, the museum is free of charge and shares a parking lot with Old Town. You can have your parking validated by the museum and spend some time at both. The permanent exhibits at the museum are expertly organized and there's almost certainly something for everyone. You could easily spend the day learning about local New Mexico artists in many different formats, or enjoy the rotating exhibits. Even if a rotating exhibit doesn't sound particularly interesting, I highly encourage you to check it out. The curator at this museum does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping things engaging. There's a particularly profound permanent piece that I highly encourage one to find, which is a video accompanied by a teeter-totter. And don't miss the sculpture garden outside! The gift shop is worth a stop, too. Many of the museum gift shops that I've stopped in over the years are filled with, well, junk--items largely irrelevant to the visit. The Albuquerque Museum, though, showcases local artisans, local food, and so much more. I almost always leave with something from their Los Poblanos case and a new coffee table book about the southwest. Can't recommend this gem enough!

I was expecting a larger turn out, but all the more breathing room for us! It was awesome! The Rodney Bowe Jazz Trio were rockin the house! Err... Jazzin the house, they were really good and it set a nice mood. Great grub samplings, nice wine samplings from St. Clair Winery, which was pretty good. They brought a Cab, a Pinot Grigio, a Chenin Blanc & my preferred one, a Meritage, which is a blend of a few red varietals. Nice!!! Marble Brewery was sportin a seasonal Pumpkin Spice brew, which I really liked! Enough to warrant my DD, AKA my wife, to drive home. There was a kids zone with a couple bouncies and Tons-O bubbles and other fun games for the kidos to play with, and they even had a box full of McDonalds hamburgers they were handing out. Naturally the main draw, the horses & the competition, was VERY cool! This was our first time to an event like this, but I suspect it will NOT be our last. Something about seeing those riders & those big beautiful horses leap over the obstacles up close was just majestic. The whole event was a big hit! We'll be there next year, and so should all of you!

My most favorite event we attend every year. The only thing I believe they need to really do is Market this great event way ahead time, (social media, Flyers at restaurants..etc) I believe this year was far less of a crowd, then what they use to capture. Nonetheless a lovely day horsing around supporting a beautiful event, good food, good music, & good times goes a long way. Ciao

This is my favorite haunt this year! They acquired the Realm of Darkness haunted house, which was…read morepreviously known for its high quality production, and married it to Dragons House of Horror's mile long haunt for the perfection that it now is! Dragons House of Horror was previously lacking a bit in that there were periods of walking in which you would be walking without anything scary happening and boredom would set in. This is now a thing of the past! Now the entire mile is full of constant attraction and there is so much to see! The best part? They did not raise the price! And you will NOT wait in a line! How? They put your name and cell phone on a list so that you can enjoy their carnival like festival with escape room, food vendors, and more and they will text you when it is your turn to enter the haunted house! How amazing is that? If you are a fan of McCall's you will not want to miss this! I actually think they may have surpassed McCall's this year!
