¡Explora! Science Center and Children's Museum, Science museum in Old Town district, Albuquerque, United States.

This 20,000-square-foot science center features 250 interactive exhibits focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics across two floors.

The institution emerged in 1983 from two independent groups and merged with the Albuquerque Children's Museum in 1995 to form the current facility.

The center provides educational programs, workshops, and community initiatives that connect science education with local schools and organizations throughout New Mexico.

Located at 1701 Mountain Road NW, the museum operates daily from 10 AM to 5 PM with specialized pricing for children, adults, seniors, and military personnel.

The facility includes a high-wire bicycle installation, a laminar flow fountain, and an experiment bar where visitors conduct scientific investigations.
