House of Eternal Return - Meow Wolf Santa Fe

One of my goals in 2025 is not only to get on the road more but to take more solo trips. I have a lot to do, so I might as well get started. My first trip this year is a quick one – I just took a couple days to drive down to Santa Fe, NM to finally see the Meow Wolf that started it all, House of Eternal Return.

Initially, I was planning on testing out a new car mattress, but with the overnight lows hovering around 20 degrees F, I figured I’d save that for another time. I’ve camped with temps at around 28-30 degrees F and was quite cozy, but this wasn’t the trip for that. Instead, I treated myself to a hotel room and enjoyed a nice, warm bath and evening to myself. Self care, you know?

The enormous coyote in the parking lot really fit the Southwest desert landscape

Meow Wolf is at its core an art installation. I find myself always being very inspired by the artwork and this time was no different. This was, however, the first time I got to experience Meow Wolf at my own pace. With no one else along for the ride, that means I got fewer pictures of me but I got to really slow down and enjoy the experience.

This piece really spoke to me but all of this artist’s work was great

I recommend entering through the house itself, but there are a bunch of different ways to enter. I liked how cohesive the experience felt, but there were still a variety of different art types and themes throughout. Above, you can see almost a street-vendor back alley atmosphere. Below, you can see just how magical the forest is.

As I travelled through, there were several interactive exhibits. Over on my Instagram reels, you can see where I was playing music with laser lights (probably my favorite exhibit). There was also a recreated mammoth skeleton you could play music on. But most of all, there was just really great art.

Overall, I had a great time and I highly recommend making your way to Meow Wolf Santa Fe. I didn’t work the mystery, but I did see clues to put it together. Next time I head to any of the Meow Wolf destinations, I think I’ll try my hand at it. I also like to dress the part, and I think I matched pretty well, don’t you think?
