Ruidoso attractions

At PistachioLand you'll take a ride on a 14‑passenger electric vehicle through pistachio orchards and vineyards on a working farm. As you move through the rows, you’ll see pistachio trees and grapevines where pistachios and wine grapes are produced, and learn that wine and candy are also made on-site. Along the way you may hear about farm operations and production, and the gift shop offers free samples of nuts and wine to try. The tour uses an open‑air vehicle that travels on a bumpy, gravel road, so you should expect exposure to the weather and to normal farm activity and wildlife. Waivers are required from each guest, and pets are not allowed on the tour due to insurance restrictions.

Offered by an Austin, TX–based event design company that runs adventures in 300+ cities across North America and beyond, this immersive scavenger hunt blends elements of a tour, a creative challenge, a detective hunt and a social experiment. The company presents these experiences as unique and provides a remote, interactive live host who will assist and encourage you via your phone as you move through the game. Along the way, you will explore favourite hidden gems off the beaten trail and encounter unusual oddities in an alternate-reality format. You’ll creatively interpret clues related to art, history and local culture to earn points, and you may race teams in other cities even if no one else has signed up locally that day. Your team will also appear on the company’s international leaderboard on their website, so you’ll gain recognition regardless of score. Expect a mix of discovery, laughter and personal choice as you make the experience your own while following the live host’s prompts and challenges.
