Very unique experience here in Santa Fe. We really enjoyed the sunset train ride! The staff was so friendly and the scenery was incredible. Definitely recommend getting tickets if you’re in the area.
Great place to get a feel of the history of santa fe.
Went on a market day which I would definitely recommend

Sad to hear and experience such hatred towards the Hispanic culture! Whoever is in charge of events should really be ashamed of themselves! You have really tainted your image by showing how you dislike the Hispanic culture!
A must check out location in Santa Fe. We unfortunately missed the market but we really enjoyed just walking around exploring the area. Can't wait to go back.
Great new space without becoming a touristy mall. Saturday Farmer’s market is one of the best.
The Railyard, Santa Fe’s eclectic public space, is a unique opportunity to witness urban evolution in progress. The nonprofit organization that manages this 50-acre site (more than 25% of which is open space for public gathering) insulates implementation of the master plan from changing political whims, ensuring fidelity to the founding vision of “…build(ing) a vibrant, beautiful, popular and safe community gathering place representing the history, values and aspirations of the people of Santa Fe.” Tip #1: On-street parking is free on Sundays; on other days, the best parking option is probably the underground garage near REI. Tip #2: Cross Paseo de Peralta and there are plenty of picnic areas (with restrooms). Here are just some of the recurring/ongoing events and activities at The Railyard:
• One of the top Farmers Markets in the U.S. with 120 outside stalls and another 40 inside the Market Hall: Saturdays, 8am-1pm (Free)
• Railyard Artisan Market featuring only local artists and creative small businesses: Sundays, 10am-3pm (Free)

• El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe Mercado (Arts & Culture Market) featuring Native American jewelry, art, textiles, clothing, furniture, and collectibles: Saturdays, 9am-4pm and Sundays, 10am-4pm (Free)
• Fanciful journeys (e.g., Sunset Burlesque” and “Margarita Rail”) in painstakingly refurbished train cars on Sky Railway board here. The creative force behind this project is none other than George R. R. Martin, creator of Game of Thrones, who describes Sky Railway as “transporting (riders) to another time and reality” on “one-of-a-kind immersive experiences.”
• SITE Santa Fe, a contemporary art museum: Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10am-5pm; Fridays, 10-7pm (Free)

A little bit of history - still in 2005 there was some impression how the ancient Express may have looked like
The new Sky Railway is terrific! What a great addition to the Santa Fe experience. We love the short trip to Lamy and the entertainment/great food. Friendly crew and beautiful countryside.
One of the best place at santa fe. highly recommended to visit. the view is extraordinary
I had a wonderful time here at the Santa Fe Railyard where I took the train from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and back the next day!!! Great lovely and majestic landscape, the train was very warm and cozy and it has two levels inside. Tables inside to have a quick snack and also very convenient sockets to charge your phones etc. very highly recommended if you are in Santa or Abq! 5 out of 5 stars most definitely!!!
