Explora Science Center and Children's Museum of Albuquerque

"We love Explora, I have came for field trips and just to visit and we always enjoy it! My girls had a birthday party here and it was fantastic! They decorated the room beautifully and the experiment they had the kids do was so cute and fun! I highly recommend birthday parties there, it made it so easy and our party host was so helpful and sweet as well as our leads that did the experiment with the kids."

"Brought our 8 and 6 year old boys. Haven’t been here since they were 5 and 3, but they still loved it! Super interactive. They stayed in the same sections forever. We were there for about 2 hours. Could have stayed longer, but we were hangry. Not too crowded for a Saturday on a holiday weekend."

"I am newly 28 years old and man...what a blast I had here. There is so much to do, so many fun cool hands-on activities everywhere you turn here. All for $11 too???? I probably spent 3 whole hours here, and I could have stayed for another 3. In terms of hours of fun per dollar spent this is an incredible value. If you're in any way remotely interested in fun interactive sciencey things, this is a must-stop in Albuquerque. While many of the exhibits offer straightforward instructions, plenty of them offer the opportunity for you to apply yourself and learn by trial-and-error, especially the electrical and pneumatic circuits which were a very rewarding challenge to figure out. I visited on a weekend, and it was pretty busy, but I never had to wait more than a few minutes to check out the next fun activity. This is a very kid-friendly environment, so expect lots of families with little ones running around and touching everything, but there's plenty of hand sanitizer located throughout the experiences for those concerned about such things. Only note I really have is more than a few "exhibits" are pretty well-loved, to the point of only being semi- or even non-functional, which was a little bit disappointing at times, but for the price of admission and overwhelming number of experiences in great working order I was fully satisfied by the end. Oh and make sure to take the elevator when you go upstairs!"

"So much to explore! I went in with a group of children from my work and everyone left happy and wanting to stay longer! There are areas where children can enjoy for hours. Everything is clean especially the restrooms. I will be going back soon. Thank you for your warm welcome. We were running late and the girl upfront gave us a bit more time to explore."

"We loved it here. Spent about 3-4 hours here and still felt like we could have done more. The only reason we left was to eat. There is a small cafe like area in there. Plenty of things to explore and it wasn't expensive compared to many other museums we've visited. We will make this a frequent place to visit whenever we come to Albuquerque."
