The 5 Best Fun Activities & Games in Ruidoso, New Mexico (NM)
Situated ideally at the center between the Lincoln National Forest to the south and the northeast and the Valley of Fires State Park to the northwest, Ruidoso is a still-sleepy mountain town despite its recent growth and popularity with tourists. The majestic Sierra Blanca towers over the city, tempting snow bunnies to the slopes of nearby Ski Apache. The race track at Ruidoso Downs and the casino at the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort promise chance and adventure of a different sort.

Race track that is the home to the world's richest quarter horse race - the All American Futurity. Racing runs most Fridays through Sundays from mid-May through Labor Day.

This weekend the horse racing scene came to life ,however the “Track” was opened without spectators on a trial basis . For years Ruidoso Downs has been the mainstay of recreation for tourists the country over. It offers quality race horse racing with inexpensive food and drink and you can enter free if you wish. Parking is also free and plentiful on most days and the atmosphere is friendly and warm. All this free stuff does not mean you can’t go in style if you should choose. One of the best things is all the options available. The racing season brings the Beautiful Village of Ruidoso to life with every type of artisan shop imaginable to allow for a well rounded weekend in the mountains for all the family. I definitely recommend Ruidoso Downs Track located near the Village of Ruidoso. C Man
