Museum Trek

Have you ever wanted your museum experience to be more interactive? MuseumTrek is the perfect app. MuseumTrek is a scavenger hunt-type activity that you can use right on your phone.

We have multiple treks developed for all the areas of the Museum: permanent exhibit, Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame, Nature Trail, Community Gardens, and our traveling exhibition. We even have treks specifically designed for the younger kids. At the end of each trek you can receive a prize at the front desk.

Best of all, the app is FREE! That's right, this is totally FREE to download and play. Other museums use this app as well so you can use it in multiple locations. Come on in and try it out!
