This is a great place to visit. The shop is quite big (which didn’t look like in the outside). They sell wine on the right hand side of the shop and souvenirs / pistachios / restrooms on the left. All very kind and prices varied depending on what you want to buy (mugs started about $4- up to fancy kinds), bag of pistachios from about $5 and up, all wines were$12 a piece. Most popular wines according to cashier: gewuztramier, la luz and pistachio kind (see picture below for more details). Ice cream was good, all scenery outside and around was beautiful to take pictures and they also had a small fish pond. I didn’t attached my best pics but I Definitely recommend this stop.

So cute! Tourist attraction. Good ice cream. And they offer free wine tasting (pre-pandemic)! Were definitely coming back. Charming store front. Friendly staff.

It was amazing. The most random stop weve ever made but couldnt help ourselves. They have a 30 min tour of the farm and very knowledgeable tour guide. The pistachio ice cream was awesome. We also got their pistachio delight wine (after a free wine tasting), flavoured pistachios and coffee. I think its a great stop for before or after visiting white sands!

I wanted to go as a joke really. Who doesnt want to see the worlds largest nut, right? Especially when youre one yourself! Yes, its definitely got the tourist trap vibe going but its still worth it because the tour was great! For 2$ Matt took us a shuttle around the operation and taught us about the trees and the grapes ( yes! they have wine and its GOOD). He was entertaining and patient and made what could have been boring really fun. Needless to say afterwards we went back in and bought more merchandise. Suddenly I needed wine and more pistachio treats. Honestly, I would stop again.

Everyone was super nice and helpful. Great place with lots of local goodies. I cant believe we live so close and have never been here. Gonna come back with the rest of our crew for a day trip!

Always a great time! I did once when I first moved here two years ago and again today. If you come you HAVE to do a tour. It only cost 6 dollars for my parents and I. Matt was our tour guide and he was incredible! It’s always awesome to hear the history of the farm and see how the pistachios are grown and harvested. Inside they have a nice shop with free wine and ice cream tastings. Currently they aren’t doing pistachio samples due to covid. But all of them taste great and are pretty affordable! All of them are grown, roasted, and seasoned right on the farm.

This place has the best quality of pistachios and plenty of flavors. I have tried pistachios from the neighboring opposition, but McGinn definitely has a higher quality product.

Had no idea this place existed but after I saw the huge pistachio I had to stop by. If you have some extra time on your drive through New Mexico definitely stop here! Super cute and unique pistachio and souvenir shop. It was super clean and the staff all wore masks. Ended up buying some souvenirs, chili pistachios, and the pistachio ice cream which I HIGHLY recommend!!

Pretty small but cozy and you can walk right up to the trees. The store/visitor center has wine tasting plus some varied treats. Not a lot but cozy and worth the visit if passing through.

For being in such an interesting and small town, this place really is fun. The place is really welcoming by its people. There are tons to see and try whether you enjoy different types of Pistachios, wine, or even the provided ice cream. The tour of the Vineyard and Pistachio trees was very great and the tour guy did an incredible job.

A must stop. Great big-little store with everythings my pistachio and then some. Good variety of snacks, staples and souvenirs, including tshirts, mugs, stickers, magnets, you name it. And dont forget to book a tour of pistachio groves! And you must have an ice cream cone!

Being a pistachio lover, I recently planned my whole NM trip around stopping at Pistachioland! We rented a car in Albuquerque, and drove to the farm. Its an awesome place to visit, the shop is full of goodies and souveniers, and the atmosphere is incredible! The lady behind the wine tasting counter was belting out her best chords to a Journey song...who wouldnt love THAT?! We purchased lots of things, and carried them through 3 airports to get home. These are HANDS DOWN the BEST pistachios Ive ever eaten!!!I was a little sad to see how many empty shells were in my 2 lb bag, though. Usually the loose nuts are in the bottom of the bag...nope. Not this time. I guess I carried these empty shells from NM all the way back to IN!!! This, however, will not stop me from ordering more online.**Just a little update: They more than made up for the empty shells in my bag, they sent me a new one today!!! Talk about Customer Service!! Thank you so much, folks, for the generous gift!!

Who doesnt want to see the worlds largest pistachio? A sampling area, ice cream, pistachio tree farm and more! Great stop while passing through.

What a wonderful place!! I’ve always loved pistachios and when i saw the billboards, i couldn’t help but make a trip. I highly recommend taking the tour (James was my tour guide and he did an awesome job!). Overall a really cool experience. Definitely try the pistachio ice cream, it’s really good!

I recommend taking the tour you really will learn a lot about pistachio trees. I found it fascinating and now understand why pistachios usually cost so much. I think the pricing for their pistachios that they sell is reasonable, although there souvenirs are overpriced. My sister and I really enjoyed ourselves there it was a fun little hour and a half break from driving.

I loved the free tours! Tour guide was funny and friendly and informative! Who knew that Pistachio nuts could be so interesting! Ice cream is great too and the gift store has all sorts of cool flavors!

If you like pistachios like I do.....then this is a must stop place when in the area of Alamogordo N.M. Roasted pistachios, flavored pistachios, in the shell, shelled, jellies, flavored pistachios. I bought pistachio brittle and margarita lime flavor. Had a scoop of pistachio ice cream too.

We went and saw the worlds largest pistachio and really, we went because as of Monday, Nov 16/20 our governor ran into her hidey hole (taking the state with her) and there were few options left open but Im glad we went. The cheap tour in the tram was worth the time. Learned a couple of surprising facts about farming the nuts and wine grapes. Once things open up, if youre in the Alamagordo area and have an hour, check it out.

Me and my girlfriend came for the tour and it was really great. Matt the guide was pretty knowledgeable and fun as he rode us around the farm where they grow the pistachios and grapes for the wine. I was very impressed. I also recommend checking out the gift shop as there is plenty around to shop for. The flavored pistachios had to be my favorite product in the shop!

Great stuff! The ice cream line is a bit long due to Covid, but the pistachio line is much faster and the pistachios are very delicious. I’d recommend the garlic flavored ones!

We got there right after they closed and they still let us walk around and shop some. Very nice! And great stuff!

This place is exactly as expected. Tourist trap with the giant pistachio. No charge to enter and take a picture with it. Shop that has different flavors of pistachios and other goodies and souvenirs. My husband loved the pistachio ice cream shake. We did not go on the tour of the pistachio farm and do not know if there is a cost to take the tour.

Pretty Awesome place. Quick stop may take a little longer. Theres lots of great stuff to see.

Wonderful place to stop! Great prices and friendly staff! Yummy samples before buying. Lots of flavors! If you like this review please click like and check out our other reviews as we travel our beautiful country!

Fun little place to stop. Tours are only 8 per so unfortunately our group didnt get to go since we have 13. The pistachio almond ice-cream is amazing!

We stopped here on a whim while driving by. Not a bad little tourist attraction. Prices in the store are a little high, but the pistachios were good and fresh!)

The variety of pistachios will amaze you. The giant pistachio is a good photo op ala route 66.

Had an amazing time here! Went on the tour learned some new facts about pistachio trees. After the tour we milled around in the shop. Tasted and bought some great tasting wine. Also got an array of different flavored pistachios, all very yummy. Overall we loved our visit!

I love pistachios. The pistachio milkshake was great!

Everythings good. Pistachio a bit overpriced though. And the ice creams a bit of a let down, I didnt come here to get bluebell icecream

Very nice place for visitors to stop. Bought pistachios and a fabulous pistachio milkshake.

Fun place to visit if you are in the area. All kinds of brittle, taffy, assortment of candy. Jars of pickles, vegetables and jelly. Lots of souvenirs.

OMG these PISTACHIOS here are the best!!! Green chili hands down the best! The wide assortment of flavors will keep your mouth watering!

I just went by the gift shop, a quick visit but it was a really good experience the employees were really friendly

So much to shop for. Wine tasting with good wines. Nice free tour of the vinyard and pistachio groves wit a informative guide.

Great place. Very clean and safe. Awesome tour through the farm with a very nice and funny host.

Nice place to stop, snap a picture or two and get some pistachio ice cream!

Great spot to top for fresh picked pistachios in an assortment of flavors plus gifts,apparel and other foods.

Still needa stop by and taste their ice cream....hopefully next stop.. this one was just to take a pic of the huge nut!!!

I have driven by for a couple years now when driving from Colorado to El Paso and I had always wanted to stop by. Today I had time, and I was so excited to try the ice cream and buy some goods. The staff is NOT welcoming AT ALL. I went into this store and smiled at the 3 cashiers lol I was fricken excited! None of them greeted me instead they were just staring towards me as I looked around at the different items. ACKWARD! I quickly picked out a jar of Mango preserves and walked back towards the register to pay. My cashier, Savannah has very poor customer service skills. I asked about the ice cream hoping she would talk to me about the tour or something but instead she was short and when she processed my purchase she handed me my card and receipt and PUSHED my bag towards me without saying a word. I then thanked her (even though she never thanked me) but got absolutely nothing back. I WILL DEFINITELY just KEEP DRIVING BY what a terrible experience. I guess my expectations were not anything close to what actually happened. Hopefully my $9.99 mango preserves will help with the extremely unpleasant and sour taste From this waste of time stop.

Highly rated...real life better than scripted@

We had a great time and we did the tour and some shopping. the only sad thing was that no wine tasting

I went to McGinns 5 minutes before they closed. As I was pulling into the parking lot, an employee closed the gate before I could pull my car into the lot. I had driven 7 hours from AZ and I explained to the woman that I was just passing through and only wanted a picture with the Pistachio. She literally rolled her eyes at me and said, “you’re only getting a picture from behind the fence.” She was extremely rude. I understand she wanted to close but there was a better way she could have handled this.

Really fun place! Lots of stuff to look at and eat! Didnt take the tour (it was a quick trip)

Novelties galore, a fun place to be, and some of the best ice cream I ever had!!

Loved it! My family and I spent an hour or so here and it was great, from the pistachio taste testing, to the wine taste testing, the great ice cream, and be able to look at all the items in the gift shop was amazing! Very nice employees and customer service.

Awesome place to stop, lots of good stuff here. Coi Fish...bigguns...

Really fun for the family. A nice place to stop by and enjoy the vineyard and pistachio trees. Wine is amazing too

Great quality pistachios with many flavors to choose from, fun place to stop for a photo as well. Wish we would have had time for the tour.

This was one of my favorite attractions on my road trip from Denver, CO to White Sands. My friend and I saw their giant pistachio along the way and later had free time and decided to visit. The owner was really nice and came up to our tour vehicle and talked a little about the place.Justin, our tour guide, was awesome and was able to answer any questions we had about the farm. They also grow grapes. Time to get to the BEST PART.With the tour purchase ($2), you get a dollar off ice cream. We got a GIGANTIC portion size of their pistachio ice cream in a waffle bowl for $3.80. It was more than enough for me and my other teenage friend.Finally, we tried out all of the different pistachio flavors and they are delicious. I have never seen or tried a flavored pistachio before, so the green chili one was like a flood of flavor in my mouth. Yum. I ended up buying the 32 oz. size pack with red chili, green chili, garlic, and lemon lime.I HIGHLY recommend you go if you get a chance.

Dog friendly! Great place to visit. Kids loved the ice cream!

Lot of things there. Wine and ice cream. Excellent customer service.

We absolutely loved this place location, service and staff. Not to mention the variety of pistachios. We did the tour of the venue, a must do!! This place has a lot to see indoor and outdoor. Great experience!

It was a great road trip Stop!! My kids n I enjoyed it alot and on our way back home we had to stop again n get pistachio ice cream!! Mmmmmm yummy delicious!! Staff was very nice

The works Pistachio bag. My favorite! Green chile, red chile, garlic and lime mix bag. Crack those open on the drive back EP.

Thats one big pistachio.Neat place. Ive never been through that area of NM until recently. I love pistachios. This place was great. Staff was all wearing masks. Clean restrooms. Many different kinds of pistachios. I recommend The Chili Bag. Snacks, drinks, stickers, etc.

Saw the giant pistachio outside and had to stop. Plenty of goodies inside, and of course pistachios. We were able to sample them before we bought. They had over 30 to choose from. Also great gift shop and souvenirs to buy. Also had a hot sauce section, which had a great variety to a choose from. The staff was very friendly.

We enjoyed the gift shop and free pistachio-tasting bar (something like 20 flavors), then took the $2 tour (25 minutes) of the vineyard & pistachio grove. Afterwards, our tour tickets gave us each $1 off their amazing (Blue Bunny) ice cream, or a free cookie. The ice cream was served in very generous portions (we tried pistachio, and also peach, ice cream). Amazingly delicious. They had wine tasting available, too.

Surprisingly fun touristy roadside attraction! I read some mixed reviews about this place, so I wasnt sure... But. It was awesome! The little ride around the pistachio farm was informative, relaxing, and enjoyable! Mostly, it wasnt too long! Just the right amount of info! They give you a ticket for free huge cookie, or a dollar off an ice cream! So many flavors of pistachios it was difficult to choose.

This place can get busy specially on weekends. Lots of stuff to choose from. Got a few packs of different flavored pistachios. Must try their pistachio almond ice cream.

Lots of pistachio related products, surprise! Disappointing that even at the source lile this that the pistachios werent any less expensive. Lots of flavors though.

We loved is it was the first time we have been here the tour was really good keep up the good job

They have great stash of pistachio in very very friendly people willing to help

Great Place. Friendly People, Definitely A Place The Family Likes To Stop At Heading Out Of Town. The Tour Is Fun

What a fun place. Just driving through and am glad we stopped. Lots of variety of flavored pistachios. I loved the spicy ones. They were great gifts!

I really enjoyed this place we stopped there unexpectedly and didnt regret it at all. If youre in to the cute little random stops while road tripping i highly recommend this place!

Gift shop and all flavors of pistachios. There is also a wine shop. Oh, and ice cream. If the weather is nice you can eat outside near the 30ft. Pistachio.

If you want the best pistachios in the world and are in the Alamogordo area this is the place to go!!

Ran across this place while dashing the desert. Lots to see and buy.

The best pistachio ice cream youll ever have!

A must to stop and see... If you pass through Alamogordo add this place to your stop! Took a tour of the pistachio farm and winery. We had a great tour guide (her). Great staff! Sampled some wine and purchased a couple bottles for myself.

Always fun to see the giant pistachio. Lots of great fun items inside. The ice cream shop is great for the kids. A must stop when you are in the area.

Neat place. I buy pickled stuff and whatnot here. Little expensive but good.

Watch yourself in the gift shop, we spent like $60 in pistachios and $100 on souvenirs because the pistachio flavors are CRAZY DELICIOUS and the souvenirs are ridiculously cute. Love it! I come here whenever we drive through.

It is a nice place to make a quick stop and buy souvenirs. The ice cream is really good and they offer small tour throught the vineyard.The place offers different types of pistachos (a big variety).Also it has clean bathrooms and of course you can take a picture with the giant pistacho.

Love this place aways stop here when we pass though New Mexico

Our 3rd time to this great Pistachio Farm. We bought Salsas, Jellies & Garlic Pecans on this visit. Staff excellent. Highly recommend to all.

Neat place and great stuff.

Many different flavors of pistachios along with a variety of jams, jellies syrups, and best of all wine.

Nothing like the ambiance of friendliness. My two toddlers loved this place and the staff treated them like family. Kendra, one of the staff members, catered to us like family.

Had no clue there would be so many neat things to see and do here

I saw this place on the internet when I was looking for places to stop and visit in New Mexico. If I didnt see it on the internet, then the many billboards on the highway would have let me know about it. We stopped there for the giant pistachio nut, but also ended up getting several bags to take home. There are many flavors. We bought Hatch green and red chile flavored and garlic. The chile flavor has a nice bite to it.They also sell ice cream. The portions were good sized and flavorful. Well worth the stop.

If you want a place to find any flavoring pistachio here it is and hey the worlds largest pistachio offers a great photo opertunity.

Its a nice place to visit and do a little shopping

We stopped to take a photo with the giant pistachio and were definitely not disappointed going into the shop. Top notch customer service! James. Helped us out, he was so welcoming and offered plenty of suggestions, all of which worked out perfectly! Sampling the different pistachios was so fun and the kiddos loved seeing the koi fish! We will absolutely stop in again!

Great place! Enjoyed all the souvenirs. The ice cream was delicious!

The Pistachio Ice Cream was really good, nice place to get souvenirs.

Great tour, yummy ice cream. Clean bathrooms. Wine tasting. Pestacheo tasting, what more could you want.

Great place to shop and taste. You get to do wine tasting and sample the pistachios and candy. Staff friendly and they have tours of the place too.

Very interesting. Good buide.

The giant pistachio did not disappoint. The tour was interesting and not too long. The icecream was delicious (though super crowded, they should invest in more space). It was a fun day trip for the whole family, though my 3 year old did get a little bored before we made it back to the icecream. I highly recommend it overall!

Initially I just stopped to see what the deal was with the giant pistachio and I left with four bags of pistachios. I dont even like pistachios. Just kidding, who the hell doesnt like pistachios?They have pistachios samples of over 20 different flavors. The selection is greater than the buffet at the Golden corral. Go in and try some and youll be taking bags upon bags home for family and friends. Honestly, when I got home I had to hide them so no one else would eat them.Also there are pistachios tours which I did not go on due to time and I think some wine tasting thing. Dont know if its some pistachio flavored wine, but these two young ladies got loaded and brought home a couple of bottles so I am guessing it was excellent.To think I spent a day at the nearby White sands national Park and another day trying to remove sand from socks, shoes and underwear, I couldve just spent the entire day at pistachio land instead. We all make mistakes in life, dont repeat mine, go directly to pistachio land.

This place is an oasis! We were on a 26 hour drive from Wisconsin to Arizona and this place has everything we needed! A great photo opportunity, free tastings of flavored pistachios and free wine tasting (also a bathroom)! As well as some really clever souvenirs. A lot of people with dogs stopped here too because the parking lot was actually a nice area to walk them around.

A great stop if you’re hungry and looking for a classic American roadside attraction. You’ll find the most delicious pistachios and some great souvenirs!

Friendly staff, great snacks and delicious ice cream! 10/10 recommended!

They had a trolley take us around the pistachio farms. They explained how they planted the trees. How to recognize the Male trees from female trees. We got some free pistachios. Of course there were plenty to buy. Great place.

Fun to shop. Delicious ice cream and pistachios.

A great place to visit and learn about pistachios with the kids, and of course to get your pistachio on. They have many flavors, ice cream, gifts, it is a great visit, plan on a couple hours and include the tour. If the option exists, you want James as your tour guide. Talented, handsome, funny, a frustrated stand up comic who knows more than anyone should about Pistachios. I think he walks through the groves at night and talks to the trees, practicing his pistachio jokes and checking on their health. Even if you want to stop by and just grab a 25 lbs bag of Pistachios, it is worth the visit.

Dumb. Lol. My wife liked it though. Depends on who you are :)

I am in love with roadside attractions and this one didnt disappoint. The giant pistachio is great and the store is amazing. They have a huge variety of goods from nuts to clothes. We purchased several bags of nuts, clothes, sauces, coffee and more. A little pricey for some products but great quality. We loved it so much we stopped in again on our way home. Fun easy stop. Can be very busy on the weekend. They also offer their own wine and tours. Fun fun.
