Ms. Schlabach visited Big Jim’s Chile Farm with her sons Andrew and Anthony.
Go Chile Picking. Do you love green chile? Upper School History Teacher Ms. Schlabach had a spicy good time while picking chiles at Big Jim’s Chile Farm. Picking chiles is a cheap thrill too, with no entrance fee, and patrons only paying for what they take home. Big Jim’s is open to the public until October 31st so start planning your trip now!
Visit the ABQ BioPark. The ABQ BioPark is finally open to the public again and we couldn’t be more excited! Currently, the Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and Tingley Beach are open. The Zoo and Botanical Gardens require tickets to be purchased in advance, however prices are reduced. Tingley Beach is open to the public, no ticket required, from sun up until sundown. It is a wonderful way to get outside with your family and friends, support our local government, and have a wonderful time seeing animals, plants, and relaxing “beach” side. https://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/biopark
Complete a scavenger hunt through old town Urban Adventure Quest has a scavenger hunt through Old Town that teaches you local history and contemporary events. It is a wonderful group activity and a pretty good workout too! Players start at the mosaic entrance of Old Town and compete to be the quickest team in the past 30 days. Teams can do this at any time that works for them, it is completely contact-less and only requires the use of a smartphone. https://www.urbanadventurequest.com/tours/things-to-do/albuquerque/default.aspx

Along with this, Big Jim’s Chile Farm (linked to earlier in the article) is also offering a pumpkin patch experience.
