Santa Fe, New Mexico

Santa Fe, New Mexico for School-Age Kids

3 day trip

Day 1

    • Historical Landmark
    • History Museum
    Palace of the Governors

    Santa Fe, NM

    Housed in the oldest building in New Mexico still in continuous use, this early 17th-century style adobe structure chronicles the history of the settlement of Santa Fe, and is...

    • Art Museum
    Georgia O'Keefe Museum

    Santa Fe, NM

    Until recently, the artwork of New Mexico's native daughter was easier to see in New York or Washington, D.C. than in her hometown. That all changed, however, when a soaring...

    • Café
    • Lunch
    Plaza Cafe

    Santa Fe, NM

    This is the place to go for lunch in between museums, or for dinner when the 14-year-old insists on a burger and the 7-year-old wants a...

    • Children's Museum
    Santa Fe Children's Museum

    Santa Fe, NM

    This is more like an adventure playground masquerading as an educational experience. Younger kids will blow giant bubbles and get their faces painted; older kids will build structures from PVC...

    • Hotel / Motel
    El Rey Inn

    Santa Fe, NM

    An old-style Route 66 hotel a few miles from downtown, the El Rey is exceedingly popular with families for its lush gardens, great pool, cool patios, playground, and relaxed...

Day 2

    • Scenic Landmark
    Bandelier National Monument

    Los Alamos, NM

    Learning about early Native American culture in school is one thing, seeing ancient cliff dwellings close up is another entirely. The pink mesas and sheer canyon walls of Bandelier National...

    • Train
    • Historical Landmark
    Santa Fe Southern Railroad

    Santa Fe, NM

    Ride in vintage rail cars to the almost abandoned "ghost town" of Lamy, where you can stop for a picnic lunch. There's even a caterer who meets the train selling...

Day 3

    • Balloon Ride
    Hot Air Balloon Ride Over the Rio Grande Gorge

    Albuquerque, NM

    These memorable trips actually depart from a launch pad near Albuquerque, so they're not technically a Santa Fe attraction. But the chance to drift over the Rio Grande Gorge in...

    • Wildlife Sanctuary
    Wildlife West Nature Park

    Edgewood, NM

    Like a combination zoo and Southwestern version of a safari, Wildlife West is a 122-acre park where mountain lions, bears, elk and other animals -- all rehabilitated from injuries and...

    • Live Music Venue
    • Historical Landmark
    El Rancho de Los Golondrinas
