Explora Science Center and Children’s Museum

Hands-on science museum in Albuquerque’s museum district, especially good with children

Explora is Albuquerque's hands-on science museum, designed around experiments visitors can touch, test, and repeat. The tone is playful rather than academic, with exhibits on motion, water, light, sound, and engineering spread through a bright museum district building.

It is especially useful for families, but curious adults can enjoy it too if they like interactive museums. Combine it with the nearby Natural History Museum or Old Town when you want a day that mixes Albuquerque history with something more tactile.
