Open Space Visitor Center — Attraction in Albuquerque

The 40th Anniversary Celebration was an event of a lifetime for me! As the proud mother of a staff member of Albuquerque Open Space(s) I learned so much at the panel discussion and reveled in the celebration and look back of all the accomplishments thus far, projects in the works, and hopes and plans for the future.

In the winter you may get to see geese and Sandhill cranes. There are many amazing programs for children and youth to get to learn and explore.
