10 Fun Activities & Games in Albuquerque That You Shouldn't Miss

April 8, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see. But the history doesn't stop there. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Petroglyph National Monument offer a glimpse of old Indian customs and art. Families will find plenty to do at the Albuquerque Biological Park, which features a zoo, aquarium and botanic garden. Outdoor types will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking and golf. After working up an appetite, head to any number of fine restaurants that serve up a choice of hot or even hotter New Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for spectacular views of all this vibrant city has to offer.

New Mexico Escape Room

New Mexico's FIRST Escape Room! Can you escape in less than 1 hour? This experience will test your limits! The objective is simple: work together, find clues, decode messages, and solve puzzles to complete the mission and ESCAPE!

We went to the New Mexico Escape Room with our 15-year-old granddaughter and we had a blast! In fact, we loved it so much the first time that we went back a second time later that week. The first time we managed to solve the Blackwell Manor puzzle (with only a few minutes to spare) but then we got stumped by the Bombshell puzzle. Oh well, that's for another time. Scenarios are extremely well done with lots of automation and puzzles to keep you involved. Good for both a small or large group. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have never done the escape room thing. My son, his wife and my nephew are frequent escape room junkies and they took us to ABQ Xcape Room and we had a great time. Now we are addicted. The event can take up to an hour if you have to. We chose the Camp Crystal Lake theme that is themed for the Friday the 13th movies and it had some moments of screams...girls and guys both. We laughed so hard and we finally solved all the clues and made it out. Great time and our host I think his name was Tyler did a really good job explaining things and letting know about other rooms that they have available. The locations is a little off the beaten path, but well work google mapping it and have a great time.
