The portal-laced origin of Meow Wolf opens for adults only
On the first and third Thursday of every month, the House of Eternal Return lowers its lights and invites grown ups to wander undistracted. This Meow Wolf adult night trades kid-fueled commotion for atmosphere, revealing story threads you might have missed on daytime visits. Selig family journals glow on dusty desks, the Chimera Choir hums at half-volume, and dimensional rifts flicker with psychedelic color.
Float Café’s bar staff pours portal inspired cocktails while visitors trace the fate of Nimsesku through shadow washed hallways. Staircases breathe, walls remember, and trippy art installations whisper new clues long after bedtime. For anyone mapping out Santa Fe night life, this stands apart from wine bars and gallery strolls, topping short lists of things to do for adults in Santa Fe.
Friends, solo lore-hunters, and couples all gravitate here. Some arrive chasing unusual date night ideas Santa Fe; others come to notch another chapter in their personal canon. All leave carrying fragments of a mystery still unfolding inside the house where Meow Wolf’s multiverse began.
Ambient sound replaces daytime chatter, portals feel deeper, and every room rewards patience.
The 1st Thursday of every month is for grown-lys only at House of Eternal Return.
