- Bandelier National Monument
Bandelier National Monument preserves an ancient human settlement just northwest of Santa Fe. This monument has many houses and dwellings (some dating back 11,000 years) built by members of the Pueblo Native American tribes. These settlements provide a fascinating glimpse into the history of Pueblo culture.
The details and design of these houses are worth exploring for a day. Add the stunning scenery, wildlife, and New Mexico charm, and you’ll see why this monument deserves a place on our list of must-see locations in Santa Fe.
- Santa Fe Children’s Museum

Thankfully, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum has a lot of indoor (and outdoor) activities to entertain and educate your kids. Hands-on learning activities (plus play areas) make this an excellent alternative to screen time when the weather is less than perfect for outdoor adventures. All ages are welcome at the museum, making it a great choice for the whole family!
