There's this scrappier, slightly rough-around-the-edges feel compared to the newer installations, and I think that's part of its charm. We actually went out of our way to visit New Mexico just for this, which says a lot - and I'll say it was worth it. However it did leave wishing for a bit more, especially knowing how expansive and polished the newer Meow Wolf locations have become. But in a weird way, it made me appreciate the evolution of the experience even more. You can really see how much the artists and teams have grown across locations, and how much love and intention is going into what they're building now. This location certainly helps you understand the whole Meow Wolf story a little better!

I always love seeing art, interpreting meanings, and putting the storylines together. Overall, this place is very well done and I enjoyed my visit. Thank you! My only complaint was that tickets online seemed priced different than tickets in person and seemed to change price depending on the day/time. We came about 3 hours prior to closing and this was more than enough time for us to fully enjoy the place and see everything. They do have a bar out front to the side before you enter as well and a gift shop. I have attended their other location in Las Vegas, so it was fun to compare it to this location and see how different they are all around. This location definitely is smaller in size and very different in theme, but still cool to see.

    The experience was horrible. The people working the front had their heads down looking at their…read morephones. They didn't offer us the tour of the gym like the description said. The teacher did not come and introduce herself to the new kids. There was no assistant on standby when the teacher tended to others. She gave insufficient directions. I observed her assigning them a section, but she didn't stick around to guide them on their form or assure their safety when they were instructed to climb high. She was gone for a minimum of 10 minutes every time and she tended to older kids, and no one checked on that group. I finally told someone in the front and he briefly assisted them. I told the "teacher" that a station was hard for the kids (they can't reach, they need help) and she walked away after promising to help them. The same teacher went to the front, looked at me, then began talking to other people working the front and then THEY began looking at me. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional of them and they refuse to see that. These "certified" instructors have no experience working with small children without effective training. I know they will shrug this off and call me a "Karen", but they don't see it from the perspective of a parent when they see a child climbing high on the bars on a wall with no one to spot them. They just punch in and punch out in their jobs, so they have no regard for the business. I hope the CEO is proud of them.

    We found the playhouse in looking for live events during our trip. Found that they had two on…read moresubsequent nights and decided to give them a try. The staff were pleasant and helpful in person. It was a little difficult getting them by phone but it's a smaller community theater so maybe expected. The first night we saw Sage who played the violin. The show was wonderful. He had a wide variety of musical genres to play from and did an excellent job. My family was skeptical when I told them what we were doing and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. The second night we saw Everybody. The description left us all wondering what we were getting in for and rightly so. It's not the traditional play by any means. I found it kept me wondering and thinking throughout. The actors did a stupendous job with hard material. We spoke about the play quite a bit after which is always a sign of a thoughtful piece. The theater itself is smallish which means there is not a bad seat in the place. If we lived near we'd be regulars here.

    Last night we attended the performance of Cabaret at the Santa Fe Playhouse. Although there were…read moresome decent performers, the production itself was mildly pornographic. We did not find the simulated sex acts, including masturbation, graphically displayed throughout the performance to be entertaining at all. It was disturbing and unnecessary. Our only regret is that we did not get up and leave earlier as many in the audience chose to do.

I don't consider myself…read morecompletely technologically challenged but I had a nightmare of a time trying to purchase tickets to the Gay Men's Chorus for tomorrow evening. I wasn't sure if I already had an "account" with the theater so I tried opening one. Had to identify the pictures with motorcycles. I clicked on a wrong square by mistake. Then had to identify all the squares with things made by humans. So that got me to the log in screen. "That email is already associated with an account" Tried logging in with that email but didn't remember the password (it's been years). "Incorrect password. Create new password." Tried creating a new password. "Password must be at least 13 characters, an upper case and lower case and a number and a symbol. Typed it in. Kept getting incorrect password message. There was no little eyeball to click on to see what I was doing wrong. Closed the screen. Had to start over again. "Select the squares with images similar to the one at the top" I selected all the basketballs. Was that blurry squirrel holding a basketball or is he holding an acorn? It must be an acorn. Wrong. "Select the squares with images similar to the one at the top" Ah, the squirrels again. I got this. So I clicked on all the pictures of basketballs and squirrels with basketballs. "Choose a new password" I typed in very carefully, then realized the caps lock was on. WELL IF YOU TICKET PEOPLE HAD PUT A WAY FOR ME TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT I WAS TYPING I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE CAPS LOCK!!! For your security, an eight digit security code will be sent to the email address you supplied. No email. Went back to the previous screen. Clicked on send code again. Two emails arrived with codes. Entered the newest code. "Welcome to your account." Meanwhile other windows are popping up asking if I want to save this username and password. Clicked them away. Not now. So I navigated to the show I wanted to buy tickets for and finally got to where I could select our seats. But the thingy went round and round and round - no seat selection screen. Clicked on the back button. "Click here and we will assign the best available seats." Click. Click to view price. Click to continue. Click to view cart. Where is the pay now? Went back to previous screen to see if I missed something. Selected the tickets again. "Continue" Now I have selected 4 tickets instead of 2. Delete 2 tickets. Continue to cart. Two tickets plus fees. OK. Continue to check out. Enter credit card information. Did something wrong. Credit card info disappeared. Entered credit card again. (I'm sure there was another security code but I really can't remember as I was so angry and frustrated.) Continue. Order Confirmation: Showed customer number etc. Then this note: If you selected digital tickets as your delivery method (default option) you can access your tickets within minutes after purchasing them at (website) Log in with the same email and password you use for (the theater) account, or you can request a one time access code via email. From there you can share tickets with your guests and save the tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. I DON'T HAVE APPLE WALLET OR GOOGLE WALLET! I went to the ticket website to access my tickets and viewed the tickets. They had all the info except a QR Code and this Note: Your refreshing QR code will display at 5:30 PM on Sat, June 20, 2026. DISPLAY WHERE? I AM NOT GOING TO TRY TO ACCESS MY ACCOUNT ON MY PHONE! I WILL BE AT DINNER AT 5:30 AND WON'T HAVE MY COMPUTER AND PRINTER. I printed EVERYTHING out (5 yes FIVE pages but are any of them valid tickets? I doubt it.) By this point I had cursed, swore, screamed and yelled so loud they could have heard me across town. It was more than an hour trying to buy two tickets. NEVER AGAIN. I tried calling the Box Office to make sure I could use my receipt and print outs, but of course they were closed for the holiday. I can go on other websites, select an item, place it in the cart, choose "Pay Now", enter my credit card and I'm DONE. No pictures of motorcycles, or basketballs, or squirrels holding basketballs that look like acorns, no security codes, no QR codes no Apple Wallets or Google Wallets. This whole process was ridiculous and a waste of time. And dare I say "PRETENTIOUS".

    I saw "La Emi" last night at the Maria Benitez Theater at The Lodge at Santa Fe. It was fantastic…read more I loved the dancers, I love the singing, the music, the atmosphere. The dancers were very good. The show had a variety numbers, and the they were all very talented. I have two things I want to comment on: Our tickets were the most affordable option, and I wish I had been able to see the theater first before purchasing. Every seat in the place will give you a good view, but the seats in the back are not great for comfort. The show is about 1.5-2 hours with a 15 min intermission. The back row chairs are high top chairs for a bar, and do not have a table or anything. It is good to help you see, but not suggested for a bad back, for older people, or probably very uncomfortable for someone who is wider. If I could do it again I would definitely spend the extra to have a regular seat or a table. The other thing was people were asked to put their phones away, and several people were not compliant. I do wish they enforced this better. The theater does an amazing job giving you a good experience. The theater is pretty intimate and when the lights are down or off, a phone ruins that experience. There is a bar, but there is not food. Grab dinner before the show. Currently the restaurant at the hotel is closed too. Overall I would go again and again. It was great. Everyone in my party was completely awed by the show. They had never seen flamenco presented like that before.
