On a recent swing through New Mexico to see some friends, we stopped in to visit the House of Eternal Return. This is Meow Wolf’s interactive, immersive art experience that started it all in Santa Fe.  What better way to get our heads wrapped around what’s coming to Riggs Park as part of Block B of the Cafritz Foundation’s Art Place at Fort Totten development, than to experience their first installation up close and personal. We had a blast. Here’s a sampling of what you may experience too…and don’t forget your 3-D glasses…

You start, as you would any time you come home, by getting the mail, but this is no ordinary mailbox…there are clues!

….upon entering the house, you see a scene, probably one pretty familiar to us all…

…while exploring the house, looking for more insights on what this family is up to, you find yourself being sucked into a portal…in the bathroom when nature calls nonetheless …

…going through the portal, you naturally find dinosaur bones, but not just any normal bones, these make music when you tap them. Yabba Dabba Doo!

…coming out the other side, you’re under water….

….traveling further, you begin to enter a magical forest world

…complete with a treehouse to play in.

…You stumble upon a bus…a tad askew, that probably has seen better days….

….and then, of course, you dance like you’ve never danced before to some deep electronic beats in the strobe light room ….

… portaling back from whence you came, you reanimate inside a cake, because, why not…

…other worlds exist to explore here with Meow Wolf, but you will need to go and experience it yourself. Before you leave though, don’t forget to stop and smell the roses
