1. Santa Fe Opera House

5 based on 964 reviews
A beautiful outdoor venue that offers music festivals in July and August.
Reviewed By Kaycee D - Santa Fe, New Mexico
Not only did we get to enjoy tailgating before the opera we were able to go inside have a glass of wine and walk around the grounds taking in all the beautiful views before the sun set gave the opera stage the best backdrop ever. Spectacular views, the opera was alright (Saw an Apprentice showcase- which website failed to give a really good description of) The actors/singers were very talented and the ticket was cheap ($15) so i'm not complaining
2. Puye Cliff Dwellings

The ancestral home of the Santa Clara people may be visited by guided tour to the ruin sites.
Reviewed By Jane D - Madison, Wisconsin
We visited with family and had an interesting and informative time. There is a little museum and film that tells about the area native American culture. They drive you up to the top and you can either ride back down after the tour or climb down the side of the cliff. It is not dangerous but you should be able to handle steep stairs. The guide stays with you.
3. Sanctuario de Chimayo

As an ex-Catholic, it was a little over the top, but obviously is an important place of healing for many. The setting is lovely. It is moving to see the photos and the crutches left in the church as people were "healed." I thought, "What harm?" As my two friends attended mass, I too photos of ice in the little creek nearby. Thousands of rosaries bedeck statues of Mary. It is very funky and beautiful and obviously has been quite meaningful to thousands of people... and if the holy dirt helps my friends with cancer, so much the better.
4. Nedra Matteucci Galleries
Overall Ratings
5 based on 281 reviews
An art gallery specializing in 19th- and 20th-century American art.
Reviewed By MaryEllenM27 - Kalispell, Montana
We never visit Santa Fe without going to Matteucci Gallery to see its amazing collection of art originals, sculpture, jewelry, outdoor sculptures and its serenely gorgeous walled, back-patio garden. You can walk around the calming running-water pond back there, enjoying the waterfowl, sculpture garden and the awesome gigantic white bark Birch trees.
Even if you never buy a single item, the staff welcome you. Its a no-pressure pleasure to stop by Matteucci at any time of year. Cool in Summer, and festive during the Holidays. Just across the street is the Kakawa Chocolate House and a little further down the road to the north on Paseo de Peralta comes the southern end of Canyon Road.
5. Tsankawi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 155 reviews
Reviewed By LorenzoLorenzo - Boulder, Colorado
Tsankawi is part of Bandelier NP, but easier to get to. It was a home to the Anasazi and their history remains here. We first visited 30+ years ago and it still enchants us. The pathways worn into the soft stone, cave homes and many petroglyphs always amaze us.
A moderate hike. It has several ladders to climb up/down. The sad part is some persons have added carvings & pottery shards have been removed. Most of what you see is hundreds of years old.Look inside the cave homes for wall art.
Unfortunately the NP has had to restrict access to some very interesting areas. But the rock structure can be unstable.
Go early to enjoy the cooler temps and smaller crowds. And bring water.

The "Lourdes" of America, where miracles are thought to happen.
Reviewed By CO_sugarbear - Trinidad, Colorado
If you are in northern New Mexico you must make a trip to Chimayó. The chapel is very spiritual. Take the time to visit the grounds and take in the beauty and peace of the location. Learn the history of the location and believe.

Scenic, easy stop off the highway while driving to Bandelier Nat'l Monument. View of the mountains, colorful hills, river and a thin waterfall. Especially impressive with fall colors along the river bank during early November.

We booked a glass paperweight glass sculpting class during a recent trip to Santa Fe and it was an experience I’ll treasure for a long time. Our skilled instructors (Cia and Al) were very helpful and encouraging, assuring us that our completed paperweights were going to be beautiful. Best of all, it was fun! I highly recommend this class. The gallery features beautiful items made by the artistic team.

Most people visiting Santa Fe will not get a chance to visit the silversmiths and fetish carvers of Zuni Pueblo farther to the west. That's too bad, because it is a spectacular area with many artisans. Luckily, this shop features a great cross section of Zuni makers and at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Our five-year-old son actually found this place through a flyer in the hotel lobby. It's a small place, but big enough to have a great experience. Lots of bugs to see and you will be amazed at the size of some of them. You'll want take the opportunity to hold some of them, something every kid (and adult!) should do! The millipede was the coolest, sort of like Velcro on your hands. The bonus is all the cool reptiles. It's worth an hour or two of your time for sure. Our son talked about all the cool bugs for days after that visit.
