Definitely download the app because there is a mystery type story to figure out. Its a place you would definitely want to visit again. There is so much to see. So many door ms leading to another room. We loved it.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie H89 contributionsAbsolutely gorgeous cathedral and very interesting history. So glad that we went - it was later day and we were able to stop in before they closed. Would highly recommend.Written October 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GoophygirlColorado Springs, CO951 contributionsDisclaimer: we did not go inside. We found out there was a recommended $5 donation to enter to see the staircase and we had no cash at all on us and felt bad going inside without donating, so we just looked at the outside. It's a gorgeous chapel!Written October 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nina BWichita Falls, TX9 contributionsI highly recommend a morning on Canyon Road. Everything is dog friendly. The galleries are friendly and welcoming and the sculpture gardens amazing treasures. Go early before it gets warm. Plan your parking in advance.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Meggan SOkarche, OK50 contributionsOur second time visiting The Santa Fe Plaza and we enjoyed our day there as a family. Ate lunch at The Shed, visited St Francis Cathedral and The Loretto Chapel, both are very beautiful and loved hearing the story behind The Loretto Chapel and the spiral staircase. You do have to pay to go inside The Loretto Chapel because it’s privately owned now and is a museum but the you walk inside and it’s like you stepped back in time. They have taken very good care of it and the gift shop has plenty of souvenirs and Catholic items and books to choose from. Also, while in the Plaza, do yourself a favor and find/visit The San Miguel Mission Church. It’s really pretty as well and at the Alter, they have see through glass area where you can actually see the original steps that led into the church many years ago.Written August 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Just_a_Rd_WarriorAlbuquerque, NM61 contributionsFascinating museum that warrants a visit for an afternoon or more. We have traveled all over the country and have rarely seen a collection as eclectic and interesting as this. The facility itself is really nice, clean and bright. The Museum Hill location is spectacular. There is plenty of free parking.Written June 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RadihodogDallas, TX24 contributionsMust visit location for great views and even greater opera performances. If possible attend one of the opera which are world renown quality in production and singers. Beautiful building with view of the mountains. At night during performances, we often saw spectacular lightning in the far distance from thunderstorms on far away mountain. Spectacular.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Traveler46428716303Albuquerque, NM5 contributionsNedra Matteucci’s s gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico was absolutely outstanding. My husband and I visited from Albuquerque. We used to live in Santa Fe, but never made it to the gallery. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the beauty starting at the front door. The building itself is a work of art. Each room has fantastic, art and sculptures by so many different artists. The reason we went is because they had a special exhibit by Glenna Goodacre, a sculptor. They had a full room of her smaller sculptures, another room, full of tiny sculptures, and a full outdoor gallery of larger sculptures, including some of hers. The grounds were so beautiful with green grass, huge trees , a small pond, a waterfall fed by a large elephant sculpture, filling the pond from his trunk. Watch out because there’s bears all over the place, but they don’t bite because they are also sculptures . If you don’t go to Nedra Matteucci’s gallery in Santa Fe, you have missed one of the best things there is in Santa Fe.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GoophygirlColorado Springs, CO951 contributionsMy adult daughter and I loved this museum! We both enjoy American history so we spent a long time, reading each and every exhibit. It has fabulous interpretative displays! This museum also has the entrance to the Governor's Palace, so it's an all-in-one type of entrance ticket. The Governor's Palace wasn't super exciting- it's a historical building and there's very little interpretive signage inside but it was a nice, leisurely self-guided walk through it.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janet DPhiladelphia, PA27 contributionsWe walked there from our hotel on a Saturday morning. We saw amazing produce and art. There is so much to see - in addition the neighbor is great- we did some serious shopping there and had lunch!Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
