Live the high life at Ruidoso's top attractions
Lincoln National Forest
Some of the most spectacular landscapes in the state are to be found in Lincoln National Forest. In winter, the alpine forest dusted with gleaming white snow is extraordinary, while in summer, the mountain range's rocky ridges gleam in the sun. Explore trails through this natural paradise by bike, motorbike or foot, discovering waterfalls and wildlife as you go.
Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts
This incredible contemporary building is a riot of geometric forms and worth visiting for its architecture alone. Enjoy thrilling musicals, dramas, ballet and opera in a theater large enough to be grand but which is arranged to retain an intimate feel.
Pillow's Funtrackers
Ready, set, go! Pillow's Funtrackers is one of New Mexico's most exciting family recreation centers, where you can race around the track in your very own go-kart. Besides that, there's so much more to enjoy; go head-to-head in bumper cars, play a round or two of miniature golf, or pan for gold at the mountain maze.
Museum of the Horse
Experience this unique museum dedicated to one of the most majestic and culturally significant animals. Explore the Arabian Horse Galleries, an unparalleled library collection and exhibition that bring the history of the horse to life like never before. You'll love this museum's unique perspective on history, culture and nature, even if you're not an equestrian yourself!
Grindstone Lake
Rainbow trout, bass and catfish jump in the waters of Grindstone. Anglers reel them in gleefully as the sun sparkles on the turquoise water. Visitors are greeted by mule deer, elk, and black bear while gold and bald eagles float overhead at this awe-inspiring location.
