 Picturesque and quiet place to relax |
1001 Yale NE Albuquerque, NM 87131 United States +1 505 277 0111 http://www.unm.edu |
If your looking for a peaceful place to sit or take a quiet stroll, go over to the University of New Mexico campus and enjoy the Duck Pond and bridge, surrounded by serene walking paths. The grassy hills and big boulders make for great rest areas along with several perfect niches to study, read, contemplate, or just kill time at. Ducks, chicks and swans float about this haven year round and are unafraid to waddle up to people for a prospective bread crumb. Through the years this oasis has become a choice spot for photographers to take pictures of weddings, models, families and high school seniors. Open dawn till dark seven days a week.

 Food & brew with a view |
3222 Central Ave SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 United States +1 505 262 2739 |
This brewery has rapidly established itself as an Albuquerque favorite. It is located in a stylish old car dealership whose former showroom serves as the tavern. Everything about it drips with nostalgia, but not to the shameless point of reducing it to a cheap tourist attraction. A huge outdoor patio makes for a perfect perch overlooking historic Route 66. Burgers, soups, salads, steaks, and even lamb shanks line its menu, with most items costing under USD8. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Northrup Hall at the University of New Mexico is better known as the Earth and Planetary Sciences Building. For years, this branch of the university has dedicated itself to researching and teaching about space and its wonders. On the first floor, a wonderful little museum documents the discovery of meteorites that have been found worldwide. The brochure provided for each visitor explains each specimen that is on display, and someone is always available to answer any questions you may have. There is no admission fee.

 Beautiful old park |
544 Coal Southeast Albuquerque, NM 87106 United States +1 505 857 8669 / +1 505 857 8650 |
This 13-acre park was built during the Great Depression with funding from then Mayor Clyde Tingley's close friend, President Franklin Roosevelt. The laborers were paid $39 a month and the site was originally a sandy arroyo filled with garbage. Located just east of I-25 and close to UNM, The giant trees in this long standing park offer a well-shaded place to run or walk the trails, plenty of meandering hills present an outstanding playground to roll around, play Frisbee-golf or find a quiet niche to sit in. In the winter, this is an ideal place to go sledding. Review © 2007, Wcities |

America's historic mother road |
4508 17th CT Northwest New Mexico Route 66 Association Albuquerque, NM 87107 United States +1 505 344 9330 http://www.2006route66festival... |
Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 and was finished just before World War II. Only parts of the original highway still exist, but there is a great trend to restore and maintain sections of this historic road. In Albuquerque, remnants of an age gone by still cling to life on what is now Central Avenue. You will find the Route 66 Diner, the Duran Drugstore, and the newly restored KiMo Theater.
