The cave's natural ice layers illuminate the arctic algae. See the best examples of volcanic eruption in the country and explore the historic Ice Caves Trading Post. The trading post features ancient artifacts, local art, and a museum of artifacts recovered from the surrounding areas. There's a rock shop and souvenirs available for sale. Enjoy a cozy dining room and two trails from the Trading Post's front.

The Adobe Theater initially opened in the village of Corrales, located just north of Albuquerque. In the mid-1990s, it moved to its current location, where it continues to offer some of the finest community theater experiences in the Albuquerque area. The theater's small and intimate setting provides a unique experience for the audience, unlike any other theater. This community theater is relatively tiny and can seat up to 90 people, allowing the actors to perform right beside the audience. As a result, the audience feels like a part of the action, creating an intimate experience.
