Awesome small gallery in Socorro TX, just a 30 second walk from Three Missions Brewery (you can…read moreactually walk around with a can of Three Missions beer). Nice and cool (vibe and temperature) place to walk around in and buy art pieces. We didn't see a single employee our entire time in there, pieces were bought by cashapp. A very interesting system built on community trust. Cons: not very well maintained, there were small trash pieces laying about in small corners (bottle caps, hangers, paper trash) and a lack of management so I'm unsure if it even has management.

you've ever thought, "You know what my life is missing? Paint, sawdust, and the confidence to ruin…read morea perfectly good piece of pottery," then let me introduce you to your new happy place: Sun City Sawdust. This place is basically an adult playground disguised as a DIY studio. You walk in thinking you'll casually paint a mug... and suddenly you're emotionally invested in shading techniques like you're auditioning for The Great British Bake Off: Pottery Edition. The staff? Absolute legends. Not only are they insanely helpful, but they somehow manage to be encouraging even when your "artistic vision" looks like it lost a fight with a kindergarten class. They guide you, hype you up, and never once say, "Sir... that Lebanese Cedar tree looks like broccoli or a Christmas tree." True professionals. And the owners Pamela and Jennifer? Let's just say El Paso doesn't deserve them, but we're lucky they're here anyway. Some of the kindest, most welcoming humans you'll ever meet. The kind of people who make you feel like family... a very creative, slightly paint-covered family. Whether you're making pottery, working on a DIY project, or just there to pretend you're artsy for a few hours, this place delivers. You'll leave with something handmade, slightly questionable, and 100% yours--and somehow already planning your next visit. 10/10. Would absolutely go back to make another "masterpiece" that my family will politely display.

Solid museum for what's history, behavior, and culture if El Pasana from yesterday to today…read more We were in the area for Día de los Muertos festival, and the MofH was doing its part. It had plenty of events going on from music, interactive story telling, hands on activities, to spiritual cleansings, or limpias. One of the cooler temporary exhibits Musica sin Fronteras. The exhibits showcases the groups, genres, bands, studios and venues that have called the borderland their home, and the impact they had on the El Paso and if their day. It was pretty cool to see items from the past and reflect on the impact they had on me. Who would have imagine bed that the contributions they had on the Frontera, and the Frontera had on them were so plentiful. The kids found plenty to do and see as much of the museum is interactive. If the rotation of exhibits is regular, then so shall our visits to the museum.

It is a very very informative and interesting stop. Definitely recommend.

Charming gardens wander the perimeter of the museum; plants are clearly labeled and the volunteers…read morewe met told us they strive for a natural garden, meaning they leave debris over winter to protect insects and their eggs. Even in February we spotted blooms. The museum houses rotating exhibits on the lower level and permanent exhibits upstairs. The student at the desk offered us a warm greeting and clear directions. Downstairs we learned about the gardens and native plants; and appreciated an exhibit about the stories of local immigrants and advocacy groups. Upstairs we learned some of the history of the area, appreciated various artifacts, and admired the collection of taxidermy birds. This is a university museum that does what it says it will, and with a free admission no one should complain. Parking was easy to spot and the attendant at the entrance gave us a three hour pass.

I often joke that El Paso is at best 5 years behind the times, and all jokes contain a kernel of…read moretruth, or in this case a metric ton of kernels, but in Fab Lab's case, they're the exception that proves the rule. I was really happy that Yelp gave us the opportunity to visit Fab Lab and learn about the cool stuff they do, thanks Tanya! Fab Lab offers access to cutting edge technology to the El Paso community, such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and a plethora of learning opportunities, and the most impressive part is that they do it on a non-profit basis! Equally impressive are the smart and talented people running the place, the kind of smarts that make me feel like I put on a superhero shirt, thick frame glasses, and decided to call myself a nerd because I watch The Big Bang Theory (which by the established intelligence hierarchy demotes most folks to Peter Griffin when he thinks he is a genius). Luckily because of their strong belief in the open-source model they are willing to share their knowledge in their on-going workshops! (my knowledge, on the other hand, must be licensed prior to being used, Capitalism!) I was seriously impressed by all the great stuff Fab Lab has going, I feel that they are an agent of progress in a place that desperately needs it. Who knows, maybe 3 years from now El Paso will only be 3 years behind the times. ©Albert K. 2015

El Paso needs more places like this one. This is not only a fun and educational place for kids, but…read morealso adults. They offer a variety of workshops. My only dissapointment during our last event was how packed it was. They only charge $2, to ensure participation, and there were over 30 kids in the room. Everyone skipping line or with no line whatsoever. Some kids participating over and over in the same station and not leaving any opportunity for other kids to participate. I think their events need to shrink down a little or some kind of participation rules need to be in place. Regardless, it is a great educational resource for the science loving kid.
