Explora Science Center and Children's Museum, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operates as a mid-sized cultural institution focused on hands-on learning in science and related fields. It offers two floors of interactive exhibits designed to engage visitors of all ages and support ongoing exploration through material-based investigations. Beyond the galleries, Explora runs programs for preschool through eighth grade, adults, and community groups, providing hands-on classes, camps, and workshops that extend learning beyond the classroom. The organization supports outreach and field trips for schools, retirement and community centers, Scouts, and other groups, and it also rents space for weddings, meetings, and team-building activities. Explora partners with community organizations on projects and exhibits, such as a collaboration with The Jennifer Riordan Foundation to develop The Science of Kindness exhibition. Located in Albuquerque, the institution sits within the museum and cultural venue sector, emphasizing experiential learning for families while offering opportunities for adult education and workforce development.
