There were very friendly folks who worked there and it is a beautiful area for hiking and not at all crowded, we actually found the out of the way trails were more crowded.

My wife and I visited the center on a 85 degree day that had a substantial breeze. As non Audobon members, we paid a total of $4 for admission, which was quite reasonable. We spoke with a gentleman in the gift shop for about 15 minutes and he showed us a diagram of the trails, but there isn't a guide... More

This is a small center with some really nice walks through the terrain. Bring binoculars and bird watch - lots of hummers!

Nestled in the mountains above Santa Fe, a 15 minute drive from the plaza. there is a visitor center, gift shop, hiking trials, with education points describing the natural fetaures.

We had a great trip to the Audubon Center. If you love birds, you should definitely visit this place. We saw lots of hummingbirds- even saw a male doing the "dive bomb" display. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

My husband and I spent our first morning in New Mexico on a Saturday field trip at the center. Not only did we see a few "life" birds, the friendly staff made sure I was well prepared to find other birds I wanted to find throughout the state. Traveling from Washington State, we were so blessed to have the support... More
