Things to Do in Albuquerque

Breaking Bad made Albuquerque a household name, but the city was well-known long before Walter White came to be. The city was famous for its historic Route 66, International Balloon Fiesta, and southwestern culture. There’s plenty of fun things to do in New Mexico’s largest city. Every October, seniors can watch hundreds of colorful hot air balloons take flight above Albuquerque or be a passenger in one! Speaking of heights, you can also take a ride on the aerial tram, Sandia Peak Tramway, and practice your photography skills as you climb 10,378 feet above the city and mountains. Seniors get reduced fares — and it is wheelchair accessible.

Active seniors can play year-round. There’s always a round to play at the many fine golf courses of Albuquerque. Aging adults can also mountain bike or hike in the Sandia foothills, kayak in the Rio Grande, or walk through history in Old Town, with 150-plus galleries, shops, restaurants, and museums. Taking a ride up and down Central Avenue along historic Route 66 offers the chance to see the vintage motels, neon signs, and historic architecture and have a milkshake at the Route 66 Diner. Many activities are either free or have senior discounts, which is great for older adults on a fixed income. Getting around Albuquerque is easy, too. The city has fare-free city buses (ABQ RIDE), the Rail Runner commuter train, the ART rapid transit line, ride-shares, and taxis to take you all around the city.

Senior Living Ratings Methodology

Our experts spent over 50 hours researching the best communities in each city, focusing on these key factors.

Senior Living Ratings Methodology

Available Care

We value communities that offer more than standard living services, such as memory care and independent living. We think this is beneficial for older adults, as it allows a community to meet your changing needs over time.

Amenities

Amenities can help an assisted living community feel like a luxury resort or a home away from home. Our research focuses on communities that offer extra perks and benefits for seniors to enjoy.

Location

Location can be important. Since many seniors like to have certain comforts nearby, we look at communities close to parks, shopping areas, hospitals, museums, and other practical or entertaining points of interest.

Reviews

We read through dozens of reviews for every single contender and include a summary of our findings. In most cases, we see common themes regarding positive and negative feedback about each community. Just remember not to take individual reviews at face value.

Cost

Assisted living costs vary greatly based on the facility and level of care. We considered communities that are suitable for various budgets and offer solid value. All prices listed are from community websites.
