La Nube will be closed today (Thursday, August 7) as we host our annual Gala, a special fundraiser celebrating imagination and community. We’ll reopen Friday, August 8 ready for more wonder, play, and discovery!
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore, discover, and innovate, no matter their financial circumstances or abilities.
That’s why we’re thrilled to launch a special giving campaign that empowers you, our community, to champion our mission of access and inclusion.
In just one year, La Nube has become a space where imagination thrives. Thousands of guests have explored with us, from children on school field trips to families visiting from across the region. But we know not every family has had the opportunity to visit. Many more children are still waiting for their turn.
A $10 birthday gift helps sponsor a visit for a child who otherwise wouldn’t experience the joy of hands-on STEAM learning. Make a birthday gift that matters.
Donate $10 or more for a chance to win a FREE Family Membership!
There are more than 165,000 children ages 5 to 17 in El Paso.
So far, we’ve reached 38,000 children through school field trips and educational partnerships, and we’re just getting started. There’s incredible potential to reach thousands more.
We are deeply committed to access and affordability. In just one year, 27,320 guests entered La Nube through our SNAP/WIC Discounted Ticket Program, which offers $5 admission. That includes over 13,200 children who may not have otherwise experienced hands-on STEAM learning.
13.1% of all ticketed visitors came through discounted admission — nearly four times the national average for museums. This is real, measurable impact.
Through our Third Thursdays initiative, we’ve welcomed over 1,000 guests for free, creating opportunities for families to explore and connect at no cost. Whether it’s through free visits to La Nube or our outreach efforts at schools and community organizations, we are committed to making sure all children have access to engaging, hands on STEAM education.
This is the heart of our La Nube for All program. We are not just talking about equity — we are building it into every visit, every ticket, and every program.
Together, we can shape the future—one dollar, one child, one dream at a time. By opening pathways to exciting careers in STEAM, we’re building a brighter future where every child can dream big, discover new possibilities, and reach their full potential.
