LOS ALAMOS NATURE CENTER NEWS

The Pajarito Environmental Education Center is excited to announce that the interactive exhibits at the Los Alamos Nature Center are once again available for visitors to enjoy. That’s right, that means the dinosaurs and puppets are back! The State revised its Covid safe practices on Wednesday, June 9, and museums are no longer required to discontinue their interactive exhibits.

The toys, microscope, drawers and buttons at the nature center are all now available for visitors to enjoy. Additionally, the building’s capacity has been increased to 50 people. Masks are optional for vaccinated visitors, staff and volunteers. Unvaccinated individuals, including children ages 2 – 12 years old, are required to continue wearing a mask while visiting the nature center.
