Golondrinas de las Americas Reviews

Great museum with very knowledgeable docents to provide historical information

This SPRING FLING of CSV was actually a lot of fun!!

It is an excellent place that presents an incredible atmosphere.
I loved the way they treat people and the service to diners is very efficient.
I loved the recreational area and the functions they have to feel as if you were on a ranch.

Wonderful place to learn of the early culture and way of life of the people of New Mexico.

it's a living history museum. They have buildings set up tho show what life was like in different eras. Some days there are volunteers to demonstrate different skills. They have a farm where they plant the crops that would have been grown. Its a large place, wear comfortable shoes.

We were here for a Renaissance Fair. It is a neat place to visit regardless of the events taking place there.

What a neat place to visit from the past and they have a great little gift shop.

This place is amazing. There is so much to see and do! I would plan on giving yourself several hours to see it all. This place is steeped in history and is a super fun way to experience said history. My four kids love coming here and we make sure to at least once every year. The festivals are especially fun.

Love to imagine what it would be like to live in these times. The kids like to walk around.

Fun experience but there is a lot of walking and some spots that it is hard to get a stroller past.

I truly love this museum and they have some wonderful events, including the Santa Fe Renaissance fair

It was fun walking around but because of Covid-19 no festivals so sad

Wonderful way to experience a Spanish Del Norte colonial hacienda. The docents are exceptionally knowledgeable. You can take a picnic lunch and make a day of it!

The best venues for any event. Great bands and food , beer and drinks. Wonderful historical place. A must see and experience. Fun times for all even children. Wonderful shop with Native American and pottery, jewelry and woven rugs, tapestry , etc.

Awesome museum. Had a great time learning about homestead living. Had a brewfest when we attended and it was great. Good food and awesome people to be around. Would highly recommend.

The Renaissance Festival here in September is the best in the area.

Here after hours for a wedding. Very cool space to have special engagements. Lots of well done buildings covering the history of the area.

When i went to El Rancho de Las Golondrinas i loved it there. My first time i went there was for a field trip with the class. I really liked the bread. I would really like to go again it was really really really cool. But what i didnt like was that when we went it was raining but i would like to go again I REALLY LOVED IT

Peaceful enjoyable place with awesome events too. The staff rocks!

Beautiful location. Authentic history museum. Loved it.

This place is an example of traditional NM beauty. We were there on a cool day. Love it here, can't wait to return!

A great spot anytime they have something going on. A step back in time, which we all can use time to time. A wonderful living museum. Go loose yourself in the past. Take a child and watch them learn and smile.

I've been here for field trips as a child and now as an adult we went for the Renaissance Faire. It was fantastic and it is so ambient, though the hill from the water wheel back up to the main village with two tired toddlers was hard

Renaissance Faire was way FUN. Las Golondrinas is a really cool living museum. A trip back in time.

Very cool gem south of Santa Fe. Nice nature walk with historical purpose

This is a must see historical museum. Children from all over the area are brought here from them schools. You are set back in time to a much simpler life.
You will be richly impressed.

What's not to love if you like history about Sante fe and surrounding areas this is the place we go 4 or 5 times a year

I was sceptical of going thinking my 5 and 9 year old would not like it, I was so wrong! This place was great! My kids enjoyed learning about the history of the region and the activities available were very fun.

Fabulous venue. Our 6 year old loves it especially the tortilla making

Born and raised in New Mexico... Went to a couple field trips out there and started going to the Santa Fe Renaissance Faire every September and my family and I absolutely love it...New Mexico history ..awesome place to check out.

We went to the renaissance fair at Los Golondrinas. It was a good time and we had lots of fun.

Perfect day for a family learning experience . Iv been here as a kid and is good place to bring the kids to learn teach them young .

Interesting, educational & numerous activities for children too.

Great for kids! Educational and inexpensive. Would go back!

We visit here every year for the Renaissance Fair, but this is a beautiful place to visit an learn and experience New Mexico history any time they're open. Bring a picnic and plan to spend at least a few lazy hours exploring the grounds.

A great looking area. I've visited the annual wine festival, renaissance fair. Both were amazing. The admission price is usually very fair, anywhere from 10 to 15 dollars. There are many vendors that sell local food, jewelry, and merchandise. The only downside is the fine dust parking lot. Don't bother washing your vehicle before attending.

Love attending the fantastic events, Love the culture.

Amazing! Great time with the kiddos, so much to see and try.

A beautiful historic little spot, I hope everybody has an opportunity to enjoy

Awesome experience just wished their was more food choices. Loved the step back in time. Great family fun.

My family & I love this place! So much to do when attending during festivals.Take a walk into history while enjoying the museum among the cottonwoods. Hands on demonstrations learn how to make your very own corn doll, roll out a tortilla & so much more. El Rancho De Las Golondrinas (the ranch of the swollows) welcomes family functions as well. Very informative and friendly. Thank you for accommodating our family during our visits Amy!

Is historical place where you will find the old houses and buildings from the year of 1800 , there is people in each building explaining what happened in and they are dressed up like those times. Is good for having a long walk while you get to know about how Santa Fe was founded .

What a fun living museum! Loved learning New Mexico's history.

Beautiful and peaceful scenery. Everyone super friendly and welcoming.

Real nice. Never been here, a ways to go when ur traveling thru the mountains. I recommend it. And the rooms are excellent, nice staff, .

Nice time... And awesome events, recommend the food. Just needs more seating when enjoying food.

Beautiful grounds, courteous staff, it was truly magical.

This museum is excellent. I visited by myself today and, fortunately for me, it was not very busy and I hardly ran into other visitors. The number of volunteer docents they had present seemed to match that expectation, but for a Wednesday it was just right. I had a good connection with every docent I spoke with (I interacted with seven of them) and was able to learn a lot about the property itself and the history of the state. I could have run out the whole day speaking with each one and it was hard not to, which is what this five star rating is truly for. The people were excellent. The one thing which I ll concede to the 1 star comment below is that there was little living going on, much of what I learned was through verbal interpretation. But otherwise, that other comment sucks! The people running this and taking care of it deserve your patronage just for keeping the historic buildings open on well-kept beautiful land. I enjoyed being in the space for its own sake. Anyway The buildings are well-equipped with antique items that are accurate for the intended period and it did feel lived in. I was really glad to go and will go back again, especially during the upcoming harvest festival when it s really supposed to pop off. Thanks to everyone there.

Always an awesome place to visit and tour. If and when visiting Santa Fe, make sure you make some time to further enrich your tour of Santa Fe by walking through this fantastic Museum!!!

A remarkable display of living history of the region. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing and bring water. Plan on several hours of outdoor walking to see the extensive exhibits. No smoking on premises. Small, well stocked gift shop.

New Mexico history brought to life!
The festivals bring added enjoyment!
Get there early or plan to take 2 days to really get the full experience.

Beautiful grounds, clean, friendly and informative volunteers. Great hands on learning experience. Kid friendly! Stroller friendly for main buildings, trails out further have steps to navigate. Sheep, Donkeys, Goats, Bullfrogs in water areas.

Excellent historical site and museum! Knowledgeable staff! It was so interesting to walk in the footsteps of the past! We went for a wine festival, which is a nice change of pace from the typical festival. I highly suggest it. Bring walking shoes and water.

Once again we went for the 2029 Renaissance Fair. A l.j ways wonderful. And the grounds are wonderf

Fun historic site, go to the festivals and see the most that is going on or go during the other days for a low key time.

Doug was one of the best docents we have experienced.

I was there for the renaissance faire, good location but I wish there were more food options

It was boring today usually always busy for lavender festival, not many vendors today and not to many people when we were there so that was cool because we got the few vendors that were there to ourselves

What a great place a view into New Mexico past. The building's are as they were in the past. Educational with many wonderful volunteers dressing as early Spanish quite knowledgeable and interesting,if you haven't been go,if you have been go back.

Gorgeous historic experience near Santa Fe - we love coming here. Make sure to bring the kids!

Super fun place to visit, knowledgeable staff, amazing sights and events, extremely scenic. My family loved it

A beautiful place. Full of history and with great Festivals/Faires. Perfect for the family.

What a beautiful and friendly tour through true New Mexico history, plus it has some interesting minerals and land formations.

This is a great place with a wagon ride, smashing berries barefoot & many other fun things to do. They teach you how to make tortillas also...

Its very nice and the volunteers are amazing and knowledgeable. Bring hats, sunscreen and walking shoes. Our group had ages 5,8,10,16,20, and above and they all found something to enjoy.

It's lovely, love attended both Spring and Harvest Festivals!
