#2: Sawmill Market
We loved checking out this upscale food hall concept right in the hear of Old Town Albuquerque. This should definitely be on your list for Albuquerque with kids because there are food options for everyone from Smoothies to Sushi. There are over 20 different food vendors & a great tap selection right in the heart of the market! The best part was the patio outside where kids can be kids!
#3: Check out a Kid-Friendly Brewery
When we travel, yes, we love finding things to do with kids, but we also want to do things we love too! Sampling different beers from all over is something we really enjoy! The best thing about breweries are they usually have a great outdoor space & yard games or other activities that kids enjoy! Along with this, there are typically food options that keep everyone happy. Marble Brewing checked all these boxes for us!

#4: Take a trip to the Top of the Sandia Mountains
A great way to get a feel for Albuquerque & its beautiful surroundings is to use the Sandia Peak Tramway to get to the top! The best part is there’s a restaurant too!
#5 Take a Hike
One of our favorite ways to really get a feel for the city is take a hike! There are some great petroglyphs in the area & if you’re traveling to Albuquerque with Kids! The easiest way to find a hike that is best for your family is to visit AllTrails & filter by Kid-Friendly!

We recommend Hotel Chaco in the Old Town or Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm for a Unique Stay.
