Arguably the best brewery in Albuquerque. The original tap room is in an industrial district, but a series of rotating food trucks, outdoor patio, and cozy seating indoors make this worth the trip for those seeking out the best craft brews ABQ has to offer. If you want more a more spacious experience (but with a little less character), you can check out La Cumbre's west side location at 5600 Coors Blvd NW across the river.

Explora is one of the best family science museums in the country, located walking distance from Old Town Plaza, and across the street from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Both kids and adults will have a great time with the many hands-on exhibits -- that is, if you can tear your kids away from the build-it-yourself marble run and kinetic ball structure just inside the entrance. Our family has enjoyed Explora over many years with numerous visits every year. Absolutely a must-do during your stay in Albuquerque.
