Absolutely PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! Solomon was our guide and she was very young but extremely knowledgeable of Earthship Biotecture everything because she has been living in, training in, and building Earthships since she was a teenager. DO NOT MISS THIS if you have even a passing interest in ecology, the environment, sustainability, off-grid living, and recycling garbage for building truly whimsical, radically ethical homes.
About Earthship Visitor Center
The Earthship Visitor Center is a unique destination for those interested in sustainable architecture and eco-friendly living. Visitors can take a guided or self-guided tour to learn about the history and vision of this concept, as well as the various structures. The guided tour, led by a knowledgeable and passionate guide, provides a deeper understanding of the earthships and the community's development. The self-guided tour offers a lot of information in a relatively small space. Community members are available to answer questions, and the staff is friendly and eager to help. The center is open during weekends, making it a recommended time to visit and see more of the earthships. The gift shop offers a great selection of books for continued learning. Those who attend the academy find it to be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with empowering people and friendships. Overall, the Earthship Visitor Center is a worthwhile stop for anyone looking to incorporate sustainable elements into their home or lifestyle, while enjoying gorgeous views and exploring unique history in New Mexico.
Reviews
The guided tour was incredible! You get to see four different earthships of different generations, the guide was very well informed and engaging. As others have mentioned, you should avoid the self-guided tour, which mostly consists of information placards.
I've wanted to visit the Earthship community for 18 years. Yesterday, I went for a self guided tour.
It's very educational and inspiring, as well as artistic.
Would love to go back another time to see more of the Earthship homes.
