i guess I'll take up the mantle of 'that guy'.

I disliked meow wolf. not the installation per se, but the crowd. any joy of discovery was robbed by the constant stream of tourists moving through it. I don't know how one can enjoy the art and wonder in there when there is a mob of children waiting for you to move out of the way.

clearly people do though, so i guess I'm just a grump.

I haven't been to meow wolf in particular, but that's a problem with museums in general, especially the ones that attract a lot of children -- science and natural history ones -- you often can't stand in one place long enough to read the captions or use the interactive exhibits. But I don't know what can really be done about that.
I love meow wolf. It's one of two or three reasons I'll go to Santa few (from abq), but really only for shows now so I can get in later. Even then, my wife and I have had horrendous experiences there because Santa fe is a total piece of shit city.
I loved it when I went a couple years ago, but this was a problem for me too. I'd like to take my kids, but they're small (6 and 3) and I worry that the stream of people will be a problem for them too, so I keep thinking of trying to go on a weekday. But I haven't yet.
Go during off-peak hours?
