I lived in Santa Fe when Meow Wolf started becoming an mass attraction. It is, without a doubt, the most fun I've had at an art venue. The story and experience is so thoughtfully and creatively presented, that you feel like you're in some kind of warped interactive Disney space exhibit. There's endless little touches and Knick-knacks to keep you saying "oh wow, what _is_ this exactly?" Concerts are held there too, which can be incredibly wild. I saw an underground rap show there once. At the end of the show, the rapper encouraged a mosh-pit, ripped off his shirt, dumped an entire jar of honey on himself, then jumped into the crowd to join the mosh, which absolutely erupted. The Meow Wolf team uses many microcontrollers, arduinos, RPis, etc. to control various lights, doors, action/reaction events. On the second floor of the "House", there's an office computer setup with a version of Ubuntu, which is delightful every time I see it. I haven't found any videos online that successfully conveys the beauty of this place. Santa Fe is largely white, Spanish and Mexican, with a heavy emphasis on artistic attractions for seasonal tourists. It also features a large older population, and lacks very many fun and affordable things for young people to do. Albuquerque is a fairly undesirable City, and although the Sandia mountains and northern New Mexico are very beautiful and peaceful, there's still a lack in activity. On the other hand, the desert EDM rave scene is alive and well. I highly recommend both Meow Wolf and Santa Fe, for someone traveling through.
