So I can be there in about ten minutes to play games with a view to see what you can do to get the chance to make sure you dont have to see what they have been doing for the last two years in the same place as the first time to get a chance to see what you have been able to find out more about the history of the best woman who is now a very different story for the first time to get a chance to see what is happening in the country and the other person in the middle of a new way to see what I have to do to help my life and my family is a big part of the story for the New York Times article about the best way to get the chance to make sure you dont have to be there for the same amount of energy that is not going to be a good time with the same place as the ones who have a lot more than just a few things that they dont want to make me a part of their own personal experiences with all the best for a new way to find out more about what happened in the past that they have been working to make sure you dont have to see what they are doing and how much I have been able to find out that the only one who can help you with your home now that the only one who has been a good time to call in the same place as the ones who have a lot more than just the latest in a few more of his own party bye bye
A beautiful place, well-designed. It tells the story of native Americans cultural evolution in a comprehensive way without being too pretentious. Multi-media presentations are scattered throughout and bring history to life. I recommend you plan to eat authentic Native American food at the restaurant there. Lots of good flavors to try. The whole experience is well worth a few hours!
Great place for cheap cigarettes! Also decent prices on gas, good selection of beverages and all other convenience store products.
Named it as Indian is doesnt make sense. There is nothing like indian culture here but i have some real facts about. There are 19 Pueblo tribes in New Mexico, and each Pueblo is a sovereign nation. Today Pueblo people are located primarily in New Mexico, however, at one time our homeland reached into what is now Colorado and Arizona, where we established incredible dwellings and trading centers like those located at Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico and Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado. Pueblo people have preserved our identity in the face of multiple colonizing nations, and today, as always, we value our identity and traditional ways of life. At the same time we live in modern houses, working and living both on and off our reservations. Our beliefs and actions are still guided by Pueblo Core Values, which include Love, Respect, Compassion, Faith, Understanding, Spirituality, Balance, Peace and Empathy. We continue to participate in our traditional celebrations and ceremonies throughout the year, maintaining our connection to our communities, to our ancestors and to the earth.
I walk the exhibits in this clearly laid out museum. I was impressed with the current exhibit a chronological exploration of influential Pueblo women. After the museum, I went to the cafe and enjoyed a delicious posada vegetarian soup, salad, and black bean burrito. The service was professional, courteous, and very friendly. For dessert I was treated with a traditional Navajo bread, drizzled with warm honey. I highly recommend this center for the historically relevant exhibits and delicious food.
No tax cigarettes, tobacco products (including a walk in humidor), cheap gas and a great selection of liquor products! Plus a needed tourist activity for friends and family from out of town! Sometimes the lines are kind of long at the service station and the IPCC admission is a bit steep but Id recommend both to those interested in Native New Mexican culture and history (as well as cheap smokes, gas and liquor).
Well organized museum that did not overwhelm the visitor with tons of writing on the walls. In a decent amount of time, I was able to make it through all the exhibits having read 90% of everything posted. They also performed traditional dances (1200-1300L) with a short break in between. Great setup for the audience! And the vendors located around the dance area and the gift shop provide some pretty unique items. Recommend visiting!
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center was so fascinating.It was very informative throughout.Wheelchair accessible.Met and watched artists from the neighboring pueblos at work.Gift shop was loaded with beautiful handicraft and many books.
If you want to know about the first nation inhabitants of new Mexico, this is the place to be.There was a group doing live native dancing. The displays were in chronological and logical order. The art was amazing. On the edge of old Town Albuquerque, this is a MUST stop for anyone visiting the area.
Loved my time here. Plan at least a couple of hours if you want to experience all the museum offers.While I was there I had the opportunity to see the family below. The personalized dances, understanding the meaning and purpose behind them moved more than a few there. The short video clips doesn’t do them justice.I also came on a day where Native Americans were selling their own jewelry, artwork, etc.There’s a Native American restaurant there as well.
Gas Station prices are always more than reasonable.Cigarettes are thier bread and butter, and it saves you having to drive to the reservation for affordable smokes.Been going there for a LONG time now and in spite of that they are always happy to see me.They also have a nice selection of Good cigars and they have local I.P.A.s in Growlers you can take home, or refill!Youll be treated like a Prince, or Princess (depending on how you dress!) every time you go there.So check them out today, you wont regret it.Two things though, because of CV19, bare with the Entrance and Exit and Mask rules imposed by the Governor, and above all, dont DRINK AND DRIVE!! EVER…EVER…EVER!!!The life youll save might be yours!! Or your childrens!!!!
We had a very good visit at the cultural center. Started with lunch at the restaurant. Ordered salad and corned bison sandwich. Both were tasty and everything is made with locally sourced ingredients. The musuem part is very reasonably priced and takes a couple of hours to go through thoughtfully. The explanations for the displays are pretty basic, but several displays have recordings with more commentary. Do see the changing exhibit area, too. We saw some really interesting things there from the permanent collection.
This is a gem of a museum! We experienced the tribal dancers which was wonderful as well as the visiting exhibits. Their permanent exhibits are visually stunning as well as informative. Great place to take out-of-town guests. Lots of activities for kids too.
Wonderful exhibits and fantastici. Introductions to various tribes through dance.
We had a little time to put something else on our schedule. So we decided to go check this place out. We are not disappointed at all that we did. The information, the exhibits, the videos were educational. We would highly recommend this museum to all.
I love party on the patio...never miss it...but cant go now...the restaurant has great food too!!
A great collection of both traditional and modern art, much larger than the exterior suggests.
Great food. The Mutton stew and Fry bread is delicious. We really loved the ambiance. The server was very nice and thorough. Highly recommend this cultural experience.
Definitely worth a visit! This is an excellent cultural center--I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Indian Pueblo Culture! The exhibits were carefully curated, thoughtfully displayed, and very informative. We also ate at the little restaurant inside, and it was delicious.
This place was very worthwhile. Only $8 and tons of interesting content. Plan for about an hour, or two hours if youre there - and you should be - when they do the live dancing and music.
This Cultural Center both amazed and angered me. If respiration is to be paid and prime land given??? It should be for the ones who were here first. This center on the outside looks beautiful. Inside is breath taking. Unlike Old Town the items made are by the culture it represents, not made in China or Japan. Enjoy the sights, eat a fantasmagoric meal and enjoy your day.
My first time trying Pueblo Indian traditional food and they were totally mind blowing! The dishes are much more made to look modern yet the taste remained authentic.
Interesting displays and very unique presentations compared to many other museums. I needed a bit more time to fully explore and will stop back to complete my tour. It has been completely remodeled since my last visit and I was impressed.This time it was mid-week so I did not get enjoy the dancers but I remember how fun that was last visit.
Very informative. The staff actively sought out visitors to inquire about any questions we might have. Well worth a visit when in Albuquerque.
Really neat place to learn about the story of the Pueblo from their own voice.
I came here for a concert where food was served while people listened to live music and danced. I found it to be very clean and nice inside we had a lot of fun at this event. The staff was enthusiastic and helpful helping me find the right room when I initially got lost as the building is larger than it seems from the street. I will definitely keep my eye out for more events here.
The center made for an excellent afternoon. The displays were informative as usual. I see it as a must visit location in Albuquerque. It helps you really appreciate the culture of New Mexico whether or not you are familiar with it.
Wonderful museum! Excellent attached restaurant! We were also able to see a family of singers and dancers perform...terrific!
Great place of learning and culture. Everything about this place is amazing! I left craving more information about the culture of these first people and will be back for more. The art, the vendors and the food are top notch.
I enjoy this museum. I wish there were more exhibits, but the events and exhibits are very educational. Its a great place to spend a few hours learning about the great cultures that we have in our state.
Very thoughtful exhibits and displays. Great background to the history of the Pueblo! Even got to see a traditional dance show
Must visit place if you are in town. We had pleasure to attend native dance. Lots of jewelry was there for sale. Also, the restaurant onsite had amazing food and lots of choices.
Everything about this place is quality, especially the friendly service and prices. ️
Great place. They had the dance performance when we were there which was wonderful. The center is well setup and very educational. It was small but very enjoyable. The restaurant is very good. The portions are large but the price is too at least for lunch. But the food was so good it was worth it. Definitely a great place to visit if you are in Alb. old town area.
We wanted to try real, authentic, New Mexican food on our drive through New Mexico. Pueblo Harvest, inside the cultural center, did not disappoint. Get the blue corn chicken salad and the green chile vegetable stew. Both are incredible, the stew was spicy but perfect. The Pueblo burger was another hit if youre looking for a more meaty option. Our server, Eddie, was great at helping us pick the right dishes and so sweet. There was a live band in the other room and it made for a perfect evening. We highly recommend you check out the center, read about the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, and enjoy the art. Definitely a cool experience.
What can I say cheap cigarettes are always good.
The rich culture of the New Mexico Pueblos is shared at this amazing museum. Many aspects of the cultural of the 19 pueblos are not taught in history classes. It was great to learn about the area and the people.
The wait for your food can be pretty long but the food is very good. I always ask my dad to get a side of soup so I can have his blue corn muffin.i had the bison burger and it was nice and juicy. It was slightly on the salty side but still good. The sweet potato fries and regular fries are delicious!
I absolutely love going to the culture center. You guys do an amazing job at portraying artists, dancers, food. Very educational & friendly staff. Exhibits are always amazing too!
Good to Experience the Native Americans culture
A little bit of everything. Well kept and clean. Fun just to go look at all the products you usually dont find anywhere else.
The Indian Pueblo cultural Center has been deep rich history throughout time, I would have thought the center would of been much bigger than expected.
Locals, dont miss this amazing gem for your staycation! Beautiful exhibits, amazing performances, and THE BEST CAFE AT A MUSEUM I HAVE BEEN TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Great to learn about the native Pueblo tribes. The history and the culture.
Amazing. The Indian dances are great. The museum is very artistic. The cafe attached has the yummiest cactus and cauliflower tacos! And ice cold beer on a hot august day. Life is good!
Nice place to visit. Lots of snacks and things to see.
People are so friendly and you always feel safe here because they have security there all the time
Very good museum in many aspects, throughout their own persoective
Great place to experience some of the pueblos cultures without leaving the city. Native dances occur and also crafts and a very good restaurant. Presentations and information about the various cultures occur there. After visiting you might just want to visit the pueblos and hike in the historical sites as well. Bring your wallet and it is worth it.
We had our family photos taken in the Private Pottery Room and they were just beautiful! Everyone was so kind in helping us make this a very special memory for our elderly parents.
Had an awesome time and the kids loved it! Able to participate in the cultural dances and learn more about Native American History
Perfect for an outing with the littles. Beautiful sights and its kept up so its not dirty and trash everywhere.
Best experience I had in Albuquerque! Learned so much and so impressed with the history, the artistry, dancing demonstration, and the interactive museum!
You will enjoy native American history eat great food and enjoy the pueblos dancers. There is fun stuff for the kids as well. If you are visiting this area dont miss out on stopping by the cultural center.
Well worth the visit! Make sure you are there for the Native dances. This is not our first visit ( long time since our last one), but we were just as impressed as we were the first time. Lots of authentic goods for sale in both the shop and from individual vendors located outside on the covered walkways.
So much to see. My son and I really enjoyed the morning dance performance and the tour. The outside vendors were especially kind and shared great information about their culture, art, jewelry and pottery. I am so proud to see all the beauty of this Center! This was my second visit to the Center. My first visit was in 1976 when you first opened. I will hopefully bring my granddaughter to experience this beautiful Center.
Fast service. Friendly staff. Good prices on cigarettes.
Wonderful staff and vendors who obviously have a great love and respect for their culture and are trying their hardest to preserve it and teach others about it. We had a fantastic experience here and definitely recommend it for anyone who has a morning free to visit! We spent about 3 hours here comfortably.
Enjoyed watching dances here, staff was very welcoming. We had a wonderful night. Very informative museum and knowledgeable staff.
First time visitor. Excellent exhibition of cultural aspects of Puebloans who used to live here. Every time I realize how much damage the Spain inflicted on the native American population and their culture, I look around the world and realize nothing has changed. The strong always prey on the weak without considering their culture. Wonderful exhibition. Will visit again.
Fabulous Cultural Center. The dancers today were amazing.
A small but excellent museum. Dances on the weekends, from different Pueblos every week. Nice gift shop. Entry cost for locals only about seven dollars. I learned a great deal from a quick tour including the history of our NM state symbol, the Zia sign, which was apparently taken and used without the Pueblos permission....
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is a true gem in Albuquerque, NM! In addition to a nice museum, the venue offers wonderful dining, a gift shop with beautiful jewelry, and cultural events that are suitable for the entire family. Be sure to check out this place, you will be glad that you did!
I enjoy coming here! I try to bring friends, family & colleagues as an intro to the Southwest. The museum is very nice. I enjoy the We Are of This Place exhibit.The food here is good. Im still trying to take in the Native infusion concept.Overall a really nice place to visit!
Impressive selection of alcohol and food for what is basically a gas station convenience stop. Good place to buy cigarettes tax free.
Best onion rings I have ever had. Everything i tasted was amazing and it was pretty much the entire menu as we had a big party and shared food. Definitely a must visit everytime I am here.
Smoke shop. I had earned 5.00 dollars if my next purchase. When I bought 4 cartons of cigarettes that totaled 132.00 dollars and the month before that I bought the same amount of cigarettes yesterday a different guy told me I had not earned enough and showed me on the receipt. This is a new card program. As far as the first one this happened twice before. I am disappointed with there rewards card. Your points disappear if you dont save your receipts for proof. Bad business. Im going somewhere else for my cigarettes next month. Only if I have to buy something here I will not be back!!!
Have work meetings here. Great sound system and food is delicious. The staff could be more courtesy when they are cleaning up. They were disrupting our meeting and we had to ask them to be quiet.
Excellent place for family to visit and learn about the culture.
Actually got taken into back room to see if I stole cigars. Jesus after spending $200 a month there. Overancious new clerk I still like the prompt courteous staff. Price price price the 3 Ps of smoking. Love it!
Heavy on the pottery and sculptures. It has a lot of interactive presentations. And the dance group is phenomenal. Everyone is so friendly. A great experience. Be sure to make a budget for all the artisan crafts.
Had breakfast there and the food was excellent. Server was very good. Will come back again.
I think this museum is a must visit while in Albuquerque. You will learn about the history, culture, and arts of the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, which are still very present in contemporary New Mexico. Their art is seeable everywhere in the state, and there are an integral part of the state governing body.I learned a lot and even got to see a traditional Pueblo dance and buy poteries for Pueblo artists!
Very interesting. Will definitely come back. Try the restaurant.
Very cool place to visit if youre interested in Native culture. Especially recommended for tourists and history buffs.
Great center to visit, providing historical context right up to present day political conflicts surrounding native Americas. We spent 3 hours there and we were engaged the entire time. They even have some hands on exhibits for children.
The displays are beautiful, informative, and exhibits are respectfully done. Anyone interested in Native American heritage and culture should go. The gift shop has local artists work for sale as well as the typical tourist type fare. I highly recommend going on a weekend and catching one of the dances- noon on weekends. I also recommend eating at the restaurant. Delicious regional fare with traditional roots.
Beautiful place! Wonderful history of the original Nations
It is a fun and cultural journey, the food is great and there are many choices of food.
Everything looks great and tastes even greater. The chicken and waffles infused with chillies was amazing
To the contrary, I am very fond of the Pueblo Cultural Center. In addition to what might be obvious to most, that being the deeply discounted pricing on cigarettes, there are events throughout the year which speak to locals as well as tourists. If one needs/wants gasoline there are attractive discounts on that too. The inclusive complex supports restaurants: from snack food to items well prepared and ordered off menu.
I learn somthing new every time i come here. Today, i learned an item on the history of pottery and a great deal about myself, as well as standing in awe of First Nation women.
Great price on cigarettes with a huge selection of smokes as well!!
If you want to get familiar with the Native American culture this is the place to come. A very very nice dances Native American artisans and much more. The staff are always ready to help..
The museum was nice. The afternoon dancers were enjoyable but the gift shop was outrageously priced. I like shopping for souvenirs to take home to family at museums and cultural centers because the gifts are not the same old tourist junk and they are usually reasonable prices. Not this place. However, there were a couple local artists in the court yard that had lovely items and were very reasonably priced.
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico is the best place to learn the Native American culture and how life was like for the Pueblo people of New Mexico in the past. The center is full of history and interesting facts. The museum is divided into sections with exhibits representing various time periods. There is a section for the contemporary arts and crafts and a mini-theater for features short films.There will be native dances on the courtyard. The dance is once or twice daily at 11 AM and/or 2 PM. So plan your visit if you want to watch the dances.Pueblo Harvest Cafe inside the building served sumptuous lunch. Service was fast.The gift shop, Shumak’olow:Wa Gifts, had authentic Indian arts and crafts created by local and regionally established artists. The selection also includes music, clothing, books, and souvenirs for every member of the family.
I went to an event at the conference center. It was as if the employees were surprised that we were there. The food was mediocre at best. Eggs tasted as if made from powder. Turkey sausage was good. Tortillas were ice cold. The blue corn gruel tasted like sand even if you topped it with brown sugar. I had to ask for butter. I felt badly for the hosts as I understand it was not inexpensive. My initial thought upon entering was that it was a great venue. It is a great large room but that is all it has going for it.
Always a top notch cultural and culinary experience. Many thanks to the artisans and dancers who expend so much effort sharing their beautiful culture. Plan to eat!
It was an awesome place to enjoy the evening. Highly recommend it for big celebrations. Thank you for the hospitality.
We ate at the restaurant after a visit to the museum store. Arrived a bit late to visit the museum itself.The restaurant has its own entrance and is open later than the museum serving dinner.We arrived near end of happy hour and tried happy hour tacos first. Quite tasty. Some were more warmly spicey than others. As to the soup/stews we tried they also good with variations as to the level of spiciness with the mutton stew being not spicy to the posole being fairly spiced.We also tried the bison carpaccio that was very tasty.The restaurant was very comfortable and the wait staff pleasant and helpful.
I found it very informative and interesting. I think because it shows past and present of the people living in and nearby. The dancing was an added bonus.
This place is great. Its very clean and quiet inside. I believe they offer tours and provide excellent insight to their history and culture. It really is a beautiful place to visit. They also have an art building located separately on the far north side of the lot. The building is usually used to host some sort of hands on native artwork for their visitors. Its a great way for visitors to express what they have learned, saw, or experienced while there.I often see wedding receptions taking place late in the evening. They also have a bar and grill on the north side of the building as well and it must be great one because its always jamming and really loud as you pass by. The Four Winds gas station has gotten better but isnt too friendly and its always so darn packed. This center is a must see weather you live or visit Albuquerque.I remember being very young and experiencing a sort of indescribable feeling and I will never forget my visit there.
Very informative place to visit when in Albuquerque. Its only a couple bucks to get into the museum. There is information all about Pueblo life. It took us about an hour and a half to go through the museum. This may not be suitable for young children because a lot of it is looking at artifacts. There is a section with interactive things for children and along the way there are a few places to stop and listen to headphones explain what youre looking at. Other than that, its a lot of reading and looking at (not touching) artifacts. We also ate at the restaurant while we were there and it alone deserves 10 stars. Very unique food that is all delicious. Overall, this is a wonderful place to go if youre in the area and care to learn about Pueblo life.
Its clean and service is friendly and fast
