PEEC Nature Center Facility

Come by and discover the natural history of the Pajarito Plateau. We offer exhibits on rocks, fossils, plants, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and more. We have several live local animals for you to look at. Our herbarium offers help to those seeking to identify plants. If you'd like to explore Los Alamos's open space, then pick up a trail guide and stroll the nearby trails.

The Pajarito Envirnomental Education Center is located at 3540 Orange Street, Los Alamos, New Mexico. For directions to the Center, see our Map to PEEC page. Current operating hours are listed on the Home Page.
