Last night, Explora and X Studio received the 2025 Santa Fe Accessibility Award from Disability Pride New Mexico!
We were recognized with the Barrier-Free Public Accommodation Award, a people’s-choice award nominated and voted on by the public, for our work to create inclusive, welcoming spaces for all. It`s an incredible honor, and we`re so grateful for the support of our community!
"Explora and its teen-focused X Studio are recognized for creating inclusive, welcoming environments for visitors of all abilities. The museum offers sensory-friendly hours, adaptive equipment, quiet zones, and accessible exhibits. In 2023, Explora opened X Studio, an 8,000-square-foot teen center co-developed with local youth and educators, offering hands-on STEAM programs and mentorship. New initiatives include services for blind and low vision visitors, enhanced audio description, tactile graphics, and the installation of an adult changing station. Through innovation and community engagement, Explora ensures science, art, and technology are open to everyone."

🐝 Explora summer campers were buzzing with excitement during bee presentations by the New Mexico Beekeepers Association at the Rio Grande Nature Center!
Campers learned about pollinators, beekeeping, and how bees help our ecosystems thrive. A huge thank you to Kelly and NMBKA for bringing the hive experience to life!
Through hands-on demonstrations and real beekeeping tools, students explored hive structure, bee behavior, and how they can support pollinators in their own backyards.
This experience not only sparked curiosity, it also deepened students` appreciation for the natural world and the importance of conservation. 🌼💛
