Thanksgiving is a time to remember and appreciate the good things in our lives. We have much to be thankful for—our members, donors, visitors and all the wonderful people that believe that the Chihuahuan Desert is a special place.

To show our appreciation, we hold an Open House each year on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. We do away with admission fees, and bring out the hot chocolate and cookies. Walk off that turkey dinner with a hike to the geological exhibit or a stroll through the botanical gardens. Peak into the greenhouse—there’s always something to see there! Join our docents for a guided hike and see what new exhibits are in progress.

Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to the Nature Center for the Thanksgiving Open House. And remember: it’s free!
