As your local homebuilder, Hakes Brothers is proud to call Albuquerque home, and we’ve rounded up some of the most popular attractions you won’t want to miss.

Sandia Peak Tramway
Take a ride on the Sandia Peak Tramway, one of Albuquerque’s most iconic attractions. The tram stretches 2.7 miles up the Sandia Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the Rio Grande Valley. At the top, you’ll find hiking trails, a restaurant, and photo-worthy vistas.

Old Town Albuquerque
Step back in time at Old Town, the historic heart of the city. With its charming adobe buildings, local shops, art galleries, and authentic New Mexican cuisine, Old Town is the perfect place to spend an afternoon soaking up the culture.

ABQ BioPark
A family favorite, the ABQ BioPark is home to a zoo, aquarium, botanic garden, and Tingley Beach. It’s the perfect spot for kids and adults alike to explore nature and wildlife up close.

Petroglyph National Monument
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Petroglyph National Monument is a must-see. Hike along trails where you’ll find ancient rock carvings left behind by Native American and Spanish settlers centuries ago. It’s both a cultural and natural treasure.

Hot Air Ballooning
No trip to Albuquerque is complete without experiencing its world-famous hot air balloons. Whether you visit during the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta or take a private ride, seeing the city from the sky is truly unforgettable.

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
Discover the rich heritage of New Mexico’s 19 Pueblo tribes through art exhibits, traditional dances, and cultural programming at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. It’s a great way to learn more about the region’s history and people. From sky-high adventures to cultural treasures, Albuquerque offers an endless list of things to do and explore.
