![]() ![]() As an adult, I would have enjoyed it more without all of the unattended kids running around grabbing things, but, in fairness, they all seemed to be having a great time. After a couple of hours you will have probably seen everything or gone into sensory overload. So, we spent a couple of hours checking out all of the interactive, audio, and visual exhibits while our kids did the same on their own. There's a theme and plot to the whole exhibit, which consists of dozens of rooms and spaces with different motifs, but it was so crowded when we were there that it was difficult to follow. Once inside, keep up with your kids or arrange to meet them at a specific place and time as the 20,000 ft space is a labyrinth. They have separate waiting lines in front with the 20 minute apart times posted in them. They have timed entries which were 20 minutes apart while we were there, so we scanned a QR code on a sign in front and picked a time about 30 minutes out. To get in, it's best to buy tickets in advance ($30, no discounts for teens) but we were able to get them as we waited in line. Turn's out it's a really unique and strange experience. We knew nothing about the exhibit prior to arriving in Santa Fe and walked over here at the recommendation of a fellow traveler who had children about the age of ours. Maybe limit the number of tickets, too, as I waited some time to try to read ‘clues’ and understand the ‘plot.’ For just playing with art, not worth the money. While true, everyone will experience this art installation differently, if there is supposed to be a story line, it would be better if all customers could start on the same page.įinally we got overwhelmed in our visit and had to leave, unable to find and watch the videos in order, and unable to understand the whole story. Further, some people had apps on their phones and other information and clues, so they were having a much different experience than us. I think if we’re already paying a crazy $35 per person entry, then give us the glasses for free. Did we need to solve a mystery?Īlso, some people had 3D glasses and said they were $1 but no one offered us glasses at the entrance. ![]() Maybe if there had been an introduction or brochure at the entrance, we could have had a better start and an easier time inside. However, any chronology was lost and we couldn’t understand our objective (if any) besides to ‘experience’ the art - but then the story line is missed. We cannot deny that the art presented is complex and gorgeous and it took the artists a lot of time.
