Fun, Free/Affordable Activities for Littles in the City Different

Things to do with a Baby/Toddler in Santa Fe, NM

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. Santa Fam is an award-winning community platform built for mamas and caregivers raising young children in Santa Fe - all fueled by one tired but dedicated mama. This website is your companion to our Instagram—where the most up-to-date info and conversations happen. If you haven’t already, make sure to follow along at @_santafam_ for daily updates, stories, and resources.

How to use this space:

At its heart, Santa Fam is about connection: a place where all are welcome to laugh (and cry) about the joys and challenges of raising children, to share resources—from mental health to local businesses to family-friendly spaces—and to build meaningful friendships in Santa Fe. Interested in working together, shoot me an email!

Welcome, truly. You belong here.

The Santa Fam Cal

The “Santa Fam Cal” has become an invalubale community resource. A curated, highly-monitoried calendar of fun, free/affordable events for kiddos ages 0-5ish. Please note, I try my absolute best to monitor this 24/7 but sometimes, organizers change info/cancel without any notification. Be mad at them - not me :)

For the most up to date events, visit our instagram and click the highlight “This week in SF”

    “As a first-time mom Meghan’s support is exactly what I needed to get my son and I in the car and make friends with other parents in our community. I never knew there were so many free and affordable kid activities in Santa Fe. Every Sunday evening I utilize Megan’s Google Calendar to schedule our week full of educational and fun local activities for our son. These activities are just as much for me as they are for my son.”
