Fun Things to do While You're at the Albuquerque Regional
UVS Games Staff
Albuquerque: the most popular city in New Mexico, home to a wonderful restaurant scene, and site of the next UniVersus NA Regional! Much like our look at fun stops in Chelmsford, England, let's look at some cool things you can do while you're in the ABQ!
Petroglyph National Monument
Get a look at North America's ancient history with trails and sites covered in hundreds of beautiful petroglyphs carved into the volcanic rocks!
ZAHR Archery Games
Take aim and let loose this fun indoor archery tag arena--it's like dodgeball, but with a classically martial twist! Use safe foam-tipped arrows (and protective gear, of course) to see who's the sharpest shot!
Bart Prince Residence and Studio, the "Spaceship House"
Home and studio of eclectic local architect Bart Prince, the "Spaceship House" is a stylized and futuristic spot where you can not only check out the house, but the sculptures surrounding it!
Electric Playhouse
There's countless ways to play with light and sound in the Electric Playhouse! 16 interactive spaces let you test your brain and your reflexes in familiar arcade-style games... and a few new ones!
New Mexico BioPark Society
Explore a gorgeous 63-acre zoo with hundreds of exotic and native animal species, along with a stunning botanical garden, both with long walking trails to let you soak everything in!
Looking to eat? All that exploring and play has got to leave you hungry, so here's some options, since the venue has some amazing food nearby!
Breakfast has you making a fast track to Village Inn, a ten-minute walk from the venue to start your day off right
Playing a "Taco Truck" aggressive deck? When you finish your round early, head to Perico's Tacos & Burritos, just a five-minute walk from the venue.
Dinner is just a ten-minute drive away at Nexus Blue Smokehouse, with their mix of barbecue and soul food to fill up back up at the end of the day.
Of course, that's not all the Albuquerque food scene has to offer! If you find a spot, be sure to take pictures of you and your gaming buddies having a bite, and share them on our social channels!
And that's a wrap! Be sure to follow our social channels and let us know your favorite stops in the 505! And keep an eye out for more Organized Play announcements, with our full schedule here!
