Feel Like Getting Lost?

5.00A really fun time. A definite stop when you are in Santa Fe. You can get lost for hours (time seems to stand still when in Meow Wolf). Highly recommend. Fun for all.
Worth It!

5.00What a beautiful adventure!!! We got to go in early because it wasn't super packed during the week. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they had a unique style to them. The atmosphere was like none other, and I wish more places would embrace such creative freedom. This is a fabulous place to take your children- my kid did not want to leave! The gift shop also was not as pricey as I expected it to be.

5.00The Lyft driver remarked that it was “Disney without the rides”. Have to believe he never went in! It’s kind of amazing because the sheer spectacle and colors, patterns, textures, are sensorially overwhelming; but then there are mysteries and stories hidden within so it’s actually two in one, that involves on both that sensory and cognitive level, not to mention climbing, scrambling, kneeling, and jumping.
A totally immersive art experience

5.00There are museums and galleries you could go to to observe art. At Meow Wolf, you enter and are surrounded by art. Every inch of every room and passageway is adorned by immersive art that is connected by secret passageways. There is no time limit on your tickets, so you can allow yourself to get lost, backtrack, and try to remember which entryways you haven’t taken yet. You can also park yourself, as we did, in your favorite rooms to explore deeply the artist's explosions of creativity. I’ll describe once such room. It is a darkened chamber filled with smoke which allowed us to see parallel thin lines of red light shining almost from floor to ceiling. Nice, we thought. But then we ran our hands through the rays of light and the chamber was filled with notes of music. The rays were like strings on a harp on which we could pluck music! I hope this gives you a sense of how deeply creative every inch of space this huge art installation is. This is a must do in Santa Fe.
Didn’t know what to expect; Loved it!

5.00As a couple in our 40’s, we weren’t sure how much we’d like it, but kept hearing it was a must-see attraction in Santa Fe. It was so much more involved and interactive than we expected! Depending on how much time you have, you can delve into the story line and look for clues until the end of time, or you can meander through and take in all the bizarre little rooms and appreciate the unmatched attention to detail that makes this entire place a work of art! Bonuses: *it was so clean! Compared to other hands-on exhibits this was 10/10. It’s not one of those places that you’re glad it’s too dark to see what you’re touching because everything feels sticky and crawling with germs. No, this was clean, and they must go through and replace things regularly because the papers and notebooks with clues weren’t tattered to oblivion. * They spread out arrival of guests so no areas were too crowded. *There is also a little food court, which we needed after exploring for HOURS! Overall we were very impressed!
It’s like living inside a video game!!!

5.00I have always wanted to experience Meow Wolf and this did not disappoint!! We didn’t really understand what we needed to do once we got inside but the app was so Helpful & fabulous. Even though we didn’t solve the mystery we spent 4 hours laughing, exploring, challenging ourselves to figure things out & having the absolute best time!! It’s a true visual delight and you never know what you are about to explore or see next. Have an open mind and just sit back and enjoy!!!
You can come back tomorrow

2.00Traveled from Houston with 2 meow wolf stops to finish seeing all the locations ( before Los Angeles opens). Bought “Supremium” portal passes. Denver was amazing then went to see the Santa Fe location. Was turned away at the door on a Friday around 4pm because the entire location was “bought out” for an event and shrugged off with “you can just comeback tomorrow”… per the company website: “No Supermium” blockout dates for any of Meow Wolf's locations.” We had to move various things around to “just comeback tomorrow”. And honestly this location wasn’t worth it. Lack of puzzles, boring plot, cramped and narrow walking space. It’s worse than the grapevine location and that one was the least favorite. I do love the artwork most at this location but all said it’s a skip if you aren’t after all locations.
A brief journey from reality

5.00It was fun and interesting to see the unique spaces created. I'm 73 and love being brought into different worlds.
My favorite Meow Wold experience yet!

5.00This experience is unlike any other! This is my third Meow Wolf location visited, and my favorite. I am an art enthusiast and love the immersive and interactive elements and collection of art from so many contributors. While I loved all the Meow Wolf locations so far, Santa Fe was one that I was ready to stay in forever!
Crazy fun!
