Things to do in Santa Fe, New Mexico (NM): The Best Fun Activities & Games

August 29, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Venture into the unspoiled beauty of 7,000-foot Rocky Mountain vistas, marvel at the contrast of ancient native culture mixed with modern arts, feast on legendary cuisine and relax in rustic sophistication. A visit to Santa Fe, Travel & Leisure's #1 Cultural Getaway, feels a lot like a visit to Europe. The Spanish Colonial charm of this historic destination has been enchanting travelers for over 400 years. And Santa Fe shows no signs of slowing down.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful pottery class with Theo. It was our first time ever working with clay and Theo made us feel so comfortable; he’s an amazing teacher. We completed 5 pieces in 1.5 hours. Theo was very accommodating in helping us get them back home to VA as well. I was unable to leave without buying one of Theo’s pieces as well, his work is so beautiful!! Definitely recommend this experience in Santa Fe!!

Psychic Counseling and Spiritual Healing - Elissa Heyman

I offer private psychic counseling and spiritual healing sessions in downtown Santa Fe or by telephone. My office is a block and a half east of the plaza, across from the Drury Hotel. As well as individual sessions in person or by phone, I facilitate group or family circles, and intuition workshops. My specialties include clairvoyant reading,the tarot, and shamanic healing. My goal is to give each client helpful information about their personal, professional, and spiritual life, and channel energy for healing. Sessions are usually one-half hour,(the minimum/$100), forty-five minutes, or one hour, and can be extended. For groups of 5-7, I facilitate "Meet Your Psychic Self in Santa Fe", a magical workshop near the Plaza. Receive individual clairvoyant readings, access your own intuition, benefit from group energy, and get support for your goals. No experience necessary, includes take-home tools.

I took a fun class with Chris on making cups using a pottery wheel. It was my first time trying anything on the pottery wheel, so even though it was difficult, Chris gave good instructions and helped when I needed it. I had lots of fun with my family and shared lots of laughter over it. I recommend trying a class or walking in to look at the beautiful pieces of pottery! Everyone is very friendly and the pottery amazing.

The lady who was working there was super friendly and very helpful I wish I got her name. We were able to just walk in and get a room right away. The room we did was just the right level of challenging with still being able to finish within the hour. Definately worth it!

This is the most wonderful scavenger hunt! We really enjoyed the thrill of the chase! We were two teams and the hunt took us all over the Plaza and Central Santa Fe! We learned and saw a lot of art and culture that we probably wouldn’t otherwise have seen! The only caveat was the weather - cold and wet and it hailed while we were out and about but it was a good excuse to go indoors and talk to locals to see if they could give us some information or tips. The locals were extremely helpful and friendly in that regard! Made us want to look further into Santa Fe and New Mexico history!! Thank you to the staff that set this up and guided us along the way!! So glad we did this!! Was worth every penny!! ~ The Viking Team!
