Meow wolf house of eternal return8/6/2023 ![]() It’s also known for it’s food and drinks - you won’t go hungry while you’re here. Santa Fe is probably the most popular destination in New Mexico and you could easily spend a few days taking in the historical attractions, museums and art galleries, and surrounding nature. If you are majorly into art or if you’re hoping to solve the mystery, you should expect to spend even longer. You’ll need a minimum of 90 minutes to explore and my parents spent about two hours. I recommend buying your tickets online so you can choose a time slot in advance.Īlthough your entrance is based on a set time, you’re free to stay as long as you like once you’re admitted. All entrance is via timed ticket to keep people somewhat spaced out, although my parents noted that it still was far from empty. Tickets to Meow Wolf Santa Fe cost $30, with discounts for children, seniors, military, and New Mexico residents. As my mom said, “There is a mystery to solve if you want to, but we didn’t do that just coming around the next corner and seeing something surprising was enough for us.”Īfter 2020 and a year full of monotony, I think escaping routine and letting your creativity and imagination run wild is precisely the right addition to vacation. Exhibits may change when you move (or interact with them) and they use light and music to help tell the story. It’s designed to be touched and very hands-on. More likely, you’ll spend hours exploring the art. ![]() If you study the exhibits carefully, you may find clues that eventually tell the story of what happened to them. Supposedly, they disappeared one night after conducting a forbidden experiment in their Victorian mansion. One thing joins these rooms together - the mystery of the Selig Family. ![]() There is intentionally no map or guide to lead you through. You may not even find them all…it’s a bit of a maze in and some areas are only accessed by secret passages. The House of Eternal Return (as the exhibit is more formally known) is a 20,000 square foot attraction with over 70 rooms to explore. But, for a little more context, let’s dive into the Santa Fe MeowWolf a little more. The photos I’ve chosen are also specifically random so as not to give away the type of details you’ll notice in person. That’s kind-of the point: to arrive without specific expectations and let yourself be transported to somewhere weird and fantastical. If anything I felt even more appreciation for the collective, having better understood their history before walking in the door.I know that some of these descriptions still feel a bit vague and confusing. ![]() Even if you hope to catch The House of Eternal Return, it won’t spoil the experience for you. We recently trekked to Boulder with friends to watch a screening of the Meow Wolf: Origin Story documentary, which I highly recommend. But if you, like me, dig not knowing what’s around the next corner, you’ll adore it. Listen: I definitely heard a guy say, “I’m still waiting for the grand finale… like, why are we doing this?” If that’s you, you might not love The House of Eternal Return or Meow Wolf’s other experiences. There is 20,000 square feet of… what, exactly? There is a story, should you choose to dig for it. From the beginning you are set loose: there is no map, no path, no goal. With its exhibition The House of Eternal Return, arts collective Meow Wolf plays in the immersive space. It is not that I think everything needs to be immersive - far from it - but I dislike how we bandy that word about and render it meaningless. ![]() I am the kind of nerd who publishes articles about how we overuse the word “immersive” in art. I have been waiting for an experience like Meow Wolf. ![]()
