Volunteers are an essential part of the Explora team!
This summer, both new and returning volunteers helped support our floor staff, created fun experiences for guests, and brought great energy to the museum. Some volunteer year-round, while others join us during the school year or for special events.
Our volunteers do it all — from running hands-on activities like painting and friendship bracelets at the Experiment Bar, to keeping exhibits tidy, helping with events, and even pitching in with building and grounds projects. Whether working with guests or behind the scenes, they help make Explora an amazing place to visit.
🌟 This summer alone, volunteers contributed over 600 hours across departments!
We’re so grateful for the time, energy, and heart our volunteers bring to Explora. Thank you for all you do!

Last night, Explora and X Studio received the 2025 Santa Fe Accessibility Award from Disability Pride New Mexico!
We were recognized with the Barrier-Free Public Accommodation Award, a people’s-choice award nominated and voted on by the public, for our work to create inclusive, welcoming spaces for all. It`s an incredible honor, and we`re so grateful for the support of our community!
"Explora and its teen-focused X Studio are recognized for creating inclusive, welcoming environments for visitors of all abilities. The museum offers sensory-friendly hours, adaptive equipment, quiet zones, and accessible exhibits. In 2023, Explora opened X Studio, an 8,000-square-foot teen center co-developed with local youth and educators, offering hands-on STEAM programs and mentorship. New initiatives include services for blind and low vision visitors, enhanced audio description, tactile graphics, and the installation of an adult changing station. Through innovation and community engagement, Explora ensures science, art, and technology are open to everyone."
