For the little ones, there’s the Desert Bloom exhibit, inspired by the Chihuahuan Desert. It’s a cozy, shoes-off zone where infants and toddlers ages 0-3 can crawl, climb, touch, and listen in a safe, quiet space.

And that’s just the beginning! Explore 3D printing, constructing habitats, robotics, and so much more. Every visit to La Nube is a new adventure waiting to happen.

La Nube's Origin Story

The concept for La Nube began to form after the City of El Paso's quality of life bond passed in 2012 and included funds for a children's museum. The City of El Paso, the El Paso Community Foundation, and other regional stakeholders collaborated to make this project a real community endeavor. La Nube has expanded into a bilingual, immersive, and interactive learning center for individuals and families of all ages, primarily thanks to this partnership and the support of the community. Parents, teachers, therapists, and other community members volunteered their knowledge about El Paso’s culture and values, as well as important aspects of child development, during the planning process.

Programs and Activities

La Nube offers more than just engaging exhibits; they have a variety of exciting, hands-on programs designed to inspire minds through play and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), regardless of age or interest. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:

• Intersession Programs Get ready for STEAM adventure spanning five days! The intersession camp pushes participants to step outside of their comfort zones, work through real-world problems, and develop their leadership abilities across borders. You won't want to miss this incredible study of math, science, technology, engineering, and the arts.

• Summer Camps Summer of STEAM 2025 will take place in June and July! K–12 students can access the summer series Monday through Friday. It's a great method to extend the summer's learning and enjoyment.
