Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Granted we are living in covid times currently. All reviews were positive, we actually booked a nearby hotel. We walked there this morning, and there is nothing there! One coffee shop open, REI opened at 10. It did not even look like there were other places that just weren’t open! There was nothing else. Huge disappointment!

If you are coming to Santa Fe for the visual art, don't just walk Canyon Road and go home! Remember that the Railyards house most of the city's top-end galleries, not to mention a great public gallery, SITE Santa Fe. There are also places to eat (La Choza is nearby, as is Boxcar Restaurant), places to walk, like the beautiful park, a lovely movie theatre - The Royal Crown, and then there are the markets - farmers market Tuesdays and Saturdays (Sat. only during the winter) and indoor winter market in El Museo on Sundays. It's a morning or afternoon well spent!

This area used to be the key interchange for three railroads but now holds shops, restaurants, art galleries, gardens, a children's play area and more. We went here twice during our recent Santa Fe stay, but not specifically to see the Railyard itself. As our hotel was nearby, we dropped by the Santa Fe Tourism Visitor Center here to talk with an extremely helpful employee and to pick up brochures.On our way, we passed the Jean Cocteau Cinema on the Railyard's northern edge and noted that "Dunkirk" was on. This would have drawn us back for a third time, but the film was playing when we needed to be elsewhere.
On this trip, we also went to the Railyard for the Saturday morning Farmers Market. It had myriad vendors, selling everything from fresh produce to yak meat outside. There were also items offered inside a nearby building, including merchandise in a gift shop. This fun, crowded event brought in far more visitors to the Railyard than I saw on the weekday afternoon that I went to the Visitor Center. Across the tracks, an artisans market operated with paintings, jewelry, pottery, etc., for sale.
Two trains still operate on the tracks. One is the Santa Fe Southern Railway, which offers excursions. The other is the NM Railrunner Express that operates between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. We usually fly into Albuquerque and rent a car to go to Santa Fe on our annual visits. But next year, we plan to take a free shuttle from the airport to the Railrunner's Albuquerque station and ride the train to the Railyard.
This 50-acre well-maintained complex sprawls less than 1 mile southwest of Downtown and should be an easy walk for many. For those driving a vehicle, there are metered parking spaces and two parking garages. Free daily shuttle service also exists to the Railyard from the Historic Plaza and other stops.

The Railyard is really a neighborhood. It has galleries, food, adult beverages, a huge park, and lots of attractions within short walks.

Apparently there are no longer any taxis available in Santa Fe so get your shuttle, ride, or Uber sorted before you arrive in Santa Fe.
We arrived in SF by train on a Sunday and the depot itself was closed. Did not have an Uber account. luckily a Sandia shuttle passed close-by and I was able to flag it down.

Worth a whistle stop and has a few nice shops .
The old character of Santa Fe shines through in the related station structures.
Rail buffs will enjoy the beautiful trains and great shape of the tracks.
The old water tower is an icon as well!

We walked to the Railyard on a slow Sunday morning. I had no idea what would be there but it was really a ghost town. Perhaps it had something to do with the season as well??? A market was operating in a pavilion selling mostly arts and crafts. We did found the Boxcar Bar and Grille!

Santa fe railyard. Sat morning. Farmers market. Sunday is arts and crafts jewellery morning. There is always native America crafts on the plaza. Sunday parking is free and the whole country comes. Parking is a pain. Mon thru sat you pay to park. We stayed at the Eldorado just for that reason. Alot of the jotels have a shuttle to town.
