What travellers are saying
- Icarus4335Colorado Springs, CO676 contributionsAmazing architecture inside and out. It is free to enter (unlike another chapel around the corner), so definitely worth a quick trip whether you are religious or not. They have a few other things to check out on the property too.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Icarus4335Colorado Springs, CO676 contributionsCanyon Road is lined with a bunch of small art galleries that showcase a variety of different styles/mediums. Everything is pretty cool to look at and worth taking a walk over if you are already near Santa Fe Plaza.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marcus DAtlanta596 contributionsIn 1883 Italian writer and journalist Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) created the story of Pinocchio. In his story, impoverished and elderly Mister Geppetto was given a piece of wood that initially would have used for a table leg. But he wanted to carve a marionette. And that resulted in the creation of Pinocchio. Now, if the author Collodi along with Mister Geppetto and Pinocchio himself were able to visit this sprawling Folk Art Museum, they would have stayed the night and many more. It is a thrilling place to visit. Folk Art abounds here. And it covers many nations. For us, it was an opportunity to become children of many different cultures and countries. And if you build an appetite, enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Museum Hill Café.Written 12 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Icarus4335Colorado Springs, CO676 contributionsIf you are visiting Santa Fe, is basically impossible not to see Santa Fe Plaza as most of the museums, art galleries, etc. are within walking distance. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants around or near the plaza.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- loladoc56Lake Jackson, TX104 contributionsI challenge you to not be inspired by this amazing chapel and its incredible story of the miraculous stairway. Chills!Written 20 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- joe s3 contributionsA beautiful venue with value priced tickets. Sunsets over walls are magnificent. Insects buzzing through the spotlights are interesting. Celebrity, world class famous performers. Great staff and administration. Also, world class pre-performance dinners assisted by local opera guild volunteers.Written 9 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- loladoc56Lake Jackson, TX104 contributionsThis museum is a 'don't miss' Santa Fe experience. It is small, but comprehensive and should definitely be on your list of activities. Advance ticket purchase is a must. We were fortunate to walk up and obtain tickets for 2 hours later, but many were turned away later in the day, as they were at max capacity.Written 20 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathy HHouston, TX125 contributionsWe visit this museum every time we are in Santa Fe. There is always something new to discover. The new “Here, Now and Always” exhibition is outstanding. It’s not to be missed.Written 15 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Honey LHouston, TX21 contributionsExcellent - I learned a lot about NM's very unique history. We took a docent led tour: very worthwhile. Call to find out when they'll have a docent tour. I also really enjoyed the permanent Harvey House exhibit and a current exhibit of Native American art.Written 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan AAlpharetta, GA985 contributionsThis was number 46 of our state capital tours. What a wonderful place to visit. This is not your “standard architecture” for a state capital. The have collected so much Bew Mexico art it is astounding. Plan your visit to take enough time to enjoy the wonderful collection. Be sure to find the Bison!!!Written 18 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Icarus4335Colorado Springs, CO676 contributionsI'm not entirely sure that I understood all of the exhibits, but it was definitely a one-of-a-kind experience. It's honestly hard to describe because everything is so unique, even from one room to another within the installation. I think it is definitely something everyone should experience at least once. A lot of the art installations are interactive to some degree, so it is also a great experience for kids. Some of the spaces can be a little tight, and there are multiple exhibits that require you to walk up stairs or crawl into smaller openings. If you have a disability that limits your movement or just have joint problems, this might not be for you. That said, I'm a bigger guy and was able to get in and out of all the exhibits. It did start to get pretty crowded by the time we finished, so I would urge you to book your tickets for the very first time slot to fully experience everything and enjoy it.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karin V5054 contributionsThis is my favorite gallery in town in every season but the winter. The gallery has a good selection of art ranging from native american to contemporary. The staff is so happy to offer information and they are good with teens to point out various things about the artwork and give some interesting back history on the pieces. This place is a hidden gem in town.Written 17 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- urbanguyRichmond, VA4,506 contributionsI liked everything about this church: its history, as the "oldest church in the U.S.," its small size/compactness, the artwork, its simplicity, the wood beams, and more. Probably, my favorite church in Santa Fe.Written 7 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Minnesota42Osseo, MN215 contributionsWe had part of a day to fill so stopped in. It is a replica of a Spanish settlement. The in costume employees were very informative and knew a lot about the history of the area. It is a reasonably priced family destination. The live sheep and goats were fun to see and they were baking fresh bread for sampling.Written 28 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KarloGatoChicago, IL119 contributionsWe had visited Santa Fe several times before but the Palace of Governors had been closed. The enovated and historic rooms are worth seeing, along with the New Mexico History Museum, which had several interesting exhibits, including a broad historical outline and one on the state's hot springs.Written 22 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
