99 Things To Do In Albuquerque Before Your Child Grows Up
October 14, 2008
Whether you plan to live in Albuquerque forever or for a month, here is a list of can't miss activities for you and your family to enjoy. Many of these activities are free or just require a small parking fee. Some will require a day trip, or even a weekend getaway. Don't let your child grow up without experiencing as many as you can!
1. Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Clearly an obvious one because it's such a unique experience. Go early in the morning and walk around balloons as they prepare to fly the skies. Chances are, it's a experience your child will never have again.
2. See the sharks at the Aquarium.
3. Expore the ancient houses at Bandelier National Monument. No, it's not in Albuquerque, but a two hour drive away. Your preschooler will love this because she can climb inside many of them and imagine what it might have been like to live in such a structure.
4. Get apples from Dixon Apple Orchard
5. Watch UNM battle it out on the gridiron, or any other sport you desire!
6. See some neat looking rock formations at Tent Rocks National Monument.
7. Go to the Zoo.
8. Ride the Sandia Peak Tramway. It's the world's longest aerial tramway and it's in your backyard!
9. Visit the Rio Grande Nature Center . A perfect way to introduce your children to the river and the nature surrounding it. You're sure to see a variety of wildlife and there's plenty of room for the kids to run crazy.
