✨ Sensory Friendly Time
📅 November 14, 2025 | 4:30–6:30 PM
We’re opening our doors for a calmer, more comfortable museum experience designed for guests who prefer a less sensory-stimulating visit. During this time, attendance will be limited, lights and sounds will be reduced, and a calming space will be available for sensory breaks. Sensory kits with headphones, fidget objects, timers, and more will be on hand to support your visit.
This event is presented in partnership with Proud Moments ABA and is included with regular admission.

Our Water Flow Patio will close for the season on Sunday, November 9. The last day to enjoy it is Saturday, November 8.
It will reopen in March, so come enjoy a little more water play before the season wraps up! ☀️💦
"We can`t wait to have Explora back!" Thanks to the Santa Fe Community Foundation, Explora has been facilitating hands-on STEM programs at schools and libraries in Northern NM.
This past week, young children and their parents at Truchas Community Library explored animal camouflage. From finding "worms" camouflaged in paper to trying on capes to figure out what pattern best helped them blend into a background, participants discovered how animals hide. These young scientists then worked together to decorate a bunny to help it hide better in either the dirt or the snow.
We`ll visit Truchas again later this month to explore the mixing of colors. We are thankful to the Santa Fe Community Foundation for supporting multiple visits to small communities in Northern New Mexico. These community initiatives build upon schools and libraries as vibrant hubs of discovery and ensure that children, their families, and teachers in rural communities have the same access to high-quality STEM learning.
✨ It’s time to show off your personal aesthetic! ✨
Step into the Glam Lab and explore the world of personal care and style through hands-on experimentation and fun.

Every day, recyclable materials were transformed into engineering design challenges during a recent workshop with Foster Grandparents, a program of the City of Albuquerque’s Senior Affairs AmeriCorps. @cabqseniors
Participants spent the morning exploring how to use simple, everyday items to create hands-on learning opportunities that integrate science, engineering, math, and literacy. The foster grandparents will bring these creative ideas back to the schools and students they support through their volunteer work. We can`t wait to hear how they put the ideas into practice!
While school is out, join a journey filled with laughter and learning at Explora Winter Camps! ❄️
Hands-on fun for Pre-K through 12th grade, where curiosity thrives.
