"It was a beautiful place. I loved the exhibits. The staff were amazing. The grounds are breathtaking. The exhibition changes every 2 or 3 month. So go often!"

"Awesome jewel off of Coors road. A nice new facility with beautiful art and wonderful history of the surrounding area. Inside has telescopes for bird watching. Outside is a beautiful area with a great open space and a flora garden. Definitely not an A-Typical Albuquerque establishment and gets an A+ from me."

"Quite by chance, I ended up here to view the eclipse. Parking was tight, but there was a staff member to guide you to an open spot. It was very pleasant to have a restroom, exhibits to see, and trails to walk while we waited for events in the sky to unfold."
