Kimo Theatre
Albuquerque / THE ROOM
Why this room makes the map
KiMo Theatre is a Route 66 landmark with a stage still earning its keep. You come for the program, then look up and realize the building has been part of Albuquerque's night life since 1927.
About the room
The KiMo is a Pueblo Deco picture palace in the heart of Downtown, restored with its murals, proscenium, and thunderbird-era details intact. It hosts film, theater, music, and community events in a room whose architecture is part of the ticket.
Before you go
Check the City of Albuquerque event page or box office for doors, seating, and accessibility. The theater sits at Fifth Street and Central; arrive early enough to see the lobby and settle before the lights drop.
