![]() Look for the buttons on either side of the wheel across from the portal to get it spinning and then put on your glasses so your eyes can play tricks on your brain. Drawing on the artist’s Asian-American heritage, the room is like a psychedelic prayer room with a portal entry from the main room. My tip: Get those 3-D glasses they offer before you enter so you can really appreciate the neon space by artist Lauren YS, aka Squidlicker. The immersive and interactive art experience (with a complicated backstory) differs significantly from location to location, so even if you’ve been to the Denver location, it’s worth a visit here. That means the experience can be fresh for repeat visitors. Although I’ve been to this original location before, as well as the one in Denver, I was happy to return because, although the original exhibition and story inside are constant, the space allows for new artists and their installations. The phenomenon that is Meow Wolf started in a former bowling alley in Santa Fe. From art to a transformational retreat, there are many mind-altering - or trippy - options to consider on your next excursion to Santa Fe. Yet this small city is like a world away from the Front Range in terms of the vibe and activities. Less than six hours by car from Denver, Santa Fe is close enough for a weekend away or for spring break without a long flight. Visit the Meow Wolf official site for hours, directions, and ticket pricing.Santa Fe calls itself “The City Different” in New Mexico’s Land of Enchantment, but could it change you into a different person while visiting? But as for me, I’m going to look elsewhere. Maybe you’ll have a life-changing experience there. Like a fast food restaurant play area on a hot day. ![]() Add to that the crowds and I couldn’t really enjoy myself. The mystery reminded me of an escape room experience, but without any real clues that I could find. It was like a giant artistic flea market where every artist peddled their creativity, but as a whole it was overwhelming. Too much color, too much light, too much of it not making sense. It’s gorgeous, I know.īut it was just too much. One of the many parts of the exhibit/experience. Don’t get me wrong, the attention to detail and the artistry is supreme. A fireplace that led to a prehistoric area. There were secret entrances that led to different worlds. We entered the Victorian house and started exploring. There were letters and postcards from the Selig family, I think. “There’s no right way or wrong way to experience Meow Wolf,” she said, “but start with the mailbox.” As we checked in, I asked the cashier if there were any tips to getting the full experience out of the exhibit. We waited in line (there are always lines and crowds at Meow Wolf) and shared our excitement with other wanna be patrons. ![]() But I wasn’t going to let that deter me from the magic inside. I should have known once we saw the giant spider metal installation standing guard outside the building that Meow Wolf might not really be the place for me. , our new blogger, and I made our own journey to Meow Wolf Mecca to experience the exhibit first hand. Based on all of that, I mean what’s not to love?īut alas, I didn’t. People who had visited had been multiple times like some it was some religious journey to Mecca. Everyone I talked to raved about Meow Wolf and told me how amazing and life changing the experience was. The immersive art experience in Santa Fe is all about the fantastical and creative multimedia installations.Ĭentered around the permanent installation, House of Eternal Return, Meow Wolf offers visitors the opportunity to explore a Victorian house owned by the Selig Family that due to some mystery has dissolved time and space.
