The KiMo Theater is a stunning example of Pueblo Deco architecture, blending Art Deco with Native American and Spanish motifs. Built in 1927 as a movie palace, its facade features terracotta tiles and painted geometric designs, while the interior dazzles with painted murals, carved beams, and a ceiling that mimics a night sky. Today, it operates as a performing arts venue hosting everything from indie films to live music and theater. The theater's unique design makes it a must-see for architecture enthusiasts.

- Attend a concert or film screening to experience the auditorium's atmospheric lighting and excellent acoustics.
- Look for the buffalo skulls and other Native American-inspired details in the decorative plasterwork.
