    We only had time to do one trail here - the Aztec Cave trail - but we found this park to be beautiful and seemed well-maintained. If I return to El Paso, this would be one of my first stops. Only disappointment is that the main area of the park closed at 5:00 pm for day use so on work days (we were working remotely), it made it difficult to really spend time here. Also, the Aztec Cave trail was a lot of fun, even though it was more challenging than expected!

    We went thinking we would spend a few hours and with a few of the enrichment events, spent closer to 4 hours. Now we read a lot and do spend some time watching behaviors but it was a no rush, rather pleasant afternoon. I wish they had more animals in their empty exhibits and updated maps, etc to reflect rhino instead of elephant as one example, but for the price, we would go again for sure. Very reasonable.

    I am the FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Huddle Leader for Pecos Barstow Toyah ISD, and I brought 30 6-8 graders from Crockett Middle School to the Mission's; they learned a lot and truly loved the history from a Tribal descendant from Ysleta Church. Go into the sanctuary and look up at the ceiling beams, and look at the color of the petals designs and numbers.
    Thank you for your hospitality and talking to our kids!

    The museum is small but has a wealth of information. Make sure to watch the video in the room next to the gift shop. The info about the dogs is especially interesting.

    This museum is a must visit to educate yourself about the Holocaust. I had a dear friend whose parents lived the experience so it had significant importance to me. Admission is free but leave a donation. We were there about an hour and a half. I don’t think it’s for young children. Staff are friendly. When we left, we were very sad and it was hard to get it out of our minds. That’s good. Like I said, a MUST visit. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A very interesting history, but if you do not have DOD credentials you must have a pass issued from the visitors center on Chaffee Street before entering Ft Bliss base. It takes about 15 minutes to complete a background check. It was worth the trouble to see the large collection of tanks and memorabilia..

    We really enjoyed the different styles of art. It's a good blend that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Most of the upstairs was closed but we spent a good 2 hours plus just talking in all the art. We will definitely be going back. Huge bonus? It's a good place for people with sensory issues.

    We took a tour of this historic home furnished with three generations. Interesting to see not only the furnishings but many of the dresses worn in the early 1900’s. Martha at the visitor center was very helpful and entertaining. Spoke about some of the cooking classes they offered and shared some recipes.

    The roses were beautiful and the garden is set on multi-level areas so very appealing. And, the aroma - WOW! Very well maintained
