Santa Fe questions and answers
I am taking a family vacation
to Santa Fe to visit some relatives. Is there anything fun to
do with the kids?
The Santa Fe Children’s museum
is a good option. There are a bunch of hands-on activities the
children will enjoy, and it is also very educational. There are
also some parks you can go to with the
kids, including the
Franklin Miles Park, which has a large skateboard facility. The kids
will probably
also enjoy some nature hikes, available throughout
Santa Fe.
I am looking to stay in a
top-end hotel in New Mexico, price not being a concern. Any
recommendations?
For this, I would recommend the
Inn of the Anasazi. This has a sort of pueblo theme to it, to add to
its beauty. Some of the rooms have balconies, but they all
have kiva fireplaces. A good friend of
mine stayed there
once and loved it. I’ve heard La Fonda is also a very nice place to
stay. I hope
you enjoy it!
Are there many public
transportation options in Santa Fe?
Yes, there are. If you’re
looking for a sort of shuttle service from the airport to a hotel, there
are
services available, including the Sandia Shuttle, which runs
from the Albuquerque airport to select
Santa Fe hotels.
There are also buses that run through the city, known as Santa Fe
Trails. You won't
have a problem getting around Santa
Fe.
I am
coming to Santa Fe in the summer. Is it going to be too terribly
hot?
Well, it is not as hot as most
people would expect. The highs in the summer are in the 80s, but it
does get cool at night, so don’t only pack light. It can be
in the low 60s in the summer at night, so be
sure to pack sleeves
if you’re planning on going out at night. This is a mistake a lot of
people make,
so be prepared.
Is there any good shopping in
Santa Fe?
Yes, there are many different
places people go for shopping here in Santa Fe. For savings, you can
go to the Santa Fe Outlets, which have outlets including Coach
and Donna Karen. Many people also
choose to go to the
Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market on US 285. There are many other places
people
shop around town, so keep your eyes peeled.
