 Santa Fe For Family Travel
Santa Fe offers the traveling family a different sort of vacation.
Instead of walking the mall there are centuries old Anasazi villages to
explore. Rather than a roller coaster there is mountain biking. In place
of the world's biggest ball of twine there is the world's largest
collection of folkart. Not to mention relics of the Old West, a close-up
look at traditional and modern Native American life and sweeping
landscapes dramatic enough to hold the attention of most any anxious
teen. Here are some suggested Santa Fe attractions for families:
The Santa Fe Southern Railroad does 3
hour excursion trips with a stop in Lamy, NM the turn around point on
period cars including a dome car and an outdoors flat car. There is very
little in Lamy except a nice place to sit and have a picnic but the trip
always is popular. 505-989-8600.
El Rancho de Las Golondrinas is the perfect kids place - a living
museum of Spanish Colonial life located on the old Camino Real. The
museum is on 200 acres filled with 18th century buildings, a mill pond,
plenty of animals and lots of hands on demonstrations like rope making,
yarn spinning, etc. by folks dressed in period clothes. 505-471-2261.
Bandelier
National Monument - Anasazi cliff dwellings with a 1 mile
interpretive trail that wanders in and out of the carved out rooms,
ceremonial caves and kivas. There is also a long trail system through
this 32,000 acre archeological site. 505-672-3861.
The
Santa Fe Children's Museum is open to everyone and is a very neat
place that puts an emphasis on learning through doing. There are all
kinds of different 'stations' plus a large, one acre, outdoors area with
a performance area, greenhouse with animals, garden, water garden, etc.
This is very well run and a wonderful spot that many visitors don't
discover. . 505-989-8359.
