5.0 Fifth Generation Trading (7 reviews)
- Elusive Item Found!
Speciality & Gift Shops • Art Galleries

Looking for a long necklace to wear with a handmade sterling silver and turquoise pendant. Found a beautiful handcrafted chain that is a perfect fit! Artist's name came with the piece, making it all the more special, and the price was very do-able. The ladies who assisted us (I believe, one was the owner) were so kind, fun, and the sweet girl who had welcomed us and actually took care of the sale, reminded me of one of our granddaughters! Wonderful artisan showcase, a must when traveling through Farmington! See more..

5.0 Desert River Guides (1 review)
- Great rafting experience
River Rafting & Tubing

Just had a great experience with Desert River Guides. We were in Farmington for the day and booked a 2 hour rafting trip. We happened to visit during a period of low water so we had a very relaxed, scenic float down the San Juan River. The staff and owner were very friendly and ensured we had a great time. The kids were able to swim in some areas and played with water guns on the raft. They also gave us some great recommendations for local places to check out for sightseeing and dining. The whole family had a great time! See more..
5.0 Black Bear Unlimited (1 review)
- No words for how much fun this is!
4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours

If you've ever wanted to up your 4x4 game, Black Bear in Farmington has got you covered. They have a great array of tours, from 1hr to half day, full day, and sunset tours. You can opt for ride along (in their jeep) or follow along (in your own vehicle). If you ride along, they will take you into as little or as much gnar as you can handle. If you follow, they will make sure you get the most out of your rig. Danny and Jenny were awesome. I can't imagine going back to Farmington without hooking up with them again. See more..
4.5 Salmon Ruins (195 reviews)
- Very interesting and well worth a short stop
Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins

We passed by this 1000 year old native american ruins on our way to Taos and we turned around to go back and check it out. We were able to enjoy everything in about an hour. The people working there were very friendly and informative. It turned out to be quite interesting and well worth our time to stop. There is a small charge ($4) to get in to the museum and walk the around the ruins, but it is nonetheless very highly recommended. See more..
4.5 Farmington Museum (75 reviews)
- Nice small museum
Speciality Museums

My husband and I had a little time to kill one afternoon so we stopped in the Farmington Museum. It was a really pleasant museum with a friendly staff.

The trails at Berg Park are a wonderful way to get out and enjoy nature yet it is right in the middle of town. The trails are well marked and used by all ages. Ducks, geese, deer and other wildlife can be seen year round. Stop by the Animal Shelter and sign up to take a shelter dog on a walk through the park. See more..
4.5 Pinon Hills Golf Course (43 reviews)
- Excellent Municipal Course!!
Golf Courses

Drove almost two hours to play this muni. course. It was worth the drive. Course is in excellent shape. Fairways and greens in great shape. My friend left a club there. They found it for him after we left. He is shipping to him at no charge back to his home in Texas. The nice person was Chris Jones. That's great customer service!! No wonder this course is rated in the top 10 in the country. See more..
4.5 B-Square Ranch (26 reviews)
- Amazing collection of historic electronic and mechanical artifacts.
Speciality Museums

We went to the electromechanical museum. The tour took two hours and was fantastic. If you are old enough to remember most of the stuff it is interesting, but if you aren't that old it is truly educational. There is a giant collection of old electronics, some huge machines, lots of old farm equipment,a steam engine, a tank, and a DC3. Even a few hours will only allow a brief introduction. You need to call in advance to make a reservation. 505-325-4275 See more..
4.5 Lions Wilderness Park Amphitheater (19 reviews)
- Great Theater
Theaters

Saw Pirates of Penzance 7/21/22. It was fantastic. Lighting and sound were both great, especially for an outdoor theater. The orchestra and cast were top quality even though the ticket price was VERY low. A shout out to one of the maidens (the one holding the nightstick after the constable-pirate fight). Her gestures, body language, and facial expressions were hilarious from "showing a bit of leg" to flirt with Frederick to wiping her hands after a pirate touched them. See more..

I cannot think of any other place where anything between a bone stock 4x4 and a fully custom buggy can go out and have fun nearly side by side. Close enough to town that you can call the local parts store and hold parts if you brake on the trail. Excellent venue! See more..

4.0 Farmington Lake (17 reviews)
- Paddleboard and swim
Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water

In the summer, I come here at least twice a week. I love to paddleboard and swim at The Beach. There are paddleboard rentals, but aren’t always open. The Beach has huge inflatables to swim out to and play. The water gets deep fairly quickly so not so strong swimmers may need a floatation device. There are lifeguards and a small snack shack. You may bring your own snacks/drinks. See more..

- The Art of the Navajo
Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
