Stumble into Meow Wolf Santa Fe, and you might not know what you’ve gotten yourself into.

But you’ll have an amazing time finding out.

And when you need to hear better at the snack bar, guest experience desks, bag check, or gift shop, you’ll find a portable hearing loop.

Designed by an artist’s collective, Meow Wolf is part weirdly wonderful immersive art, part interactive museum, part mystery house and part, well, you gotta see it to believe it. At this place –also called the House of Eternal Return — you’ll find videos and other clues to help you figure out why this place exists, what happened to that kid, and what happens if you walk through the refrigerator or duck and crawl into the fireplace (really.)

There are several Meow Wolf experiences in other cities, too: Las Vegas, Denver, Houston, and Grapevine, Texas all have a Meow Wolf, and all have hearing loops.

While you’re in New Mexico, take note: People with hearing loss can hear better in venues throughout the state, thanks to advocates like Stephen O. Frazier. You can find a list of looped New Mexico venues on his website.
