Meow Wolf

Last but not least, Meow Wolf is an excellent experience for people of all ages. It’s unlike anything most people have ever seen, which can make it a little difficult to put into words. Meow Wolf can be described as a large interactive exhibit and playground for adults and children alike. It truly is a special experience that we recommend participating in at least once while you are in Santa Fe. Plus, once you are done with the exhibit and interactive experience, you can relax at the coffee shop, gift shop, cafes, or enjoy a cool lecture or concert.
