Events on this Day

Enjoy free admission the 1st Wednesday of every month. Come visit the newest toddler exhibit, the Tiny Farm, visit with our pet Velociraptor named Blue, and engage your kid in hands-on science activities.

Departing from the Durango Depot, this train trip takes you up into the Rocky Mountains with incredible views of the San Juan National Forest as you travel alongside the beautiful Animas River while relaxing in heated coaches. Cascade Canyon is a destination like no other and is the perfect setting for a fire-side lunch, photo opportunities or a walk along the Animas River during your 60-minute layover.

Come join us to learn and experiment with hands-on science activities every month! Each homeschool science workshop we will lead two separate groups, based on age, through a science lesson and have time for free-exploration of the exhibit gallery. Parents/Guardians and non-school aged children attend for free! Please register your school-aged children in the sessions based on grade level. Space is limited: Pre-Register to secure your spot.

Join us with Anne Hillerman as she presents book 7 in the Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito Mystery series!    Sergeant Jim Chee's vacation to beautiful Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell has a deeper purpose. He's on a quest to unravel a sacred mystery his mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, stumbled across decades earlier.    Chee's journey takes a deadly turn when, after a prayerful visit to the sacred Rainbow Bridge, he spots a body floating in the lake. The dead man, a Navajo with a passion for the canyon's ancient rock art, lived a life filled with many secrets. Discovering why he died and who was responsible involves Chee in an investigation that puts his own life at risk.    Back in Shiprock, Officer Bernadette Manuelito is driving home when she witnesses an expensive sedan purposely kill a hitchhiker. The search to find the killer leads her to uncover a dangerous chain of interconnected revelations involving a Navajo Nation cannabis enterprise.    But the evil that is unleashed jeopardizes her mother and sister Darleen, and puts Bernie in the deadliest situation of her law enforcement career.

Join us at The Hive's indoor skatepark for a free poetry workshop! Come to write, read, share, or just to listen and enjoy. Writers of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join us. Workshop repeats every other Wednesday night.
