EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — La Nube, the STEAM center for kids in Downtown El Paso, announces a slew of new wintry activities for the holidays, including a chance for kiddos to meet Santa Claus.
Starting Saturday and until Jan. 4, La Nube will transform into a “Winter Wonderland” with activities for the whole family, including building snowmen, dancing under falling snow, making winter slime, taking selfies with Paddington Bear and Elf on the Shelf.

Mick Martinez, La Nube’s VP of Marketing and Communications, said St. Nick himself will make appearances every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. and described that the second-floor terrace will transform into a wintry forest.
Regular tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for children; however, Martinez explained that educators, military members and SNAP participants will get discounts.
In addition to the winter activities, Martinez said that La Nube partnered with Winterfest to offer additional deals at the ice rink located by the Convention Center.
The event will kick off on Saturday with hot chocolate on the first floor, a community activation in the Blue Sky Lab, and a holiday movie screening, with “Home Alone” being a potential choice.
Martinez emphasized the event’s aim to provide “lots of fun activities for the family.”

La Nube emphasized that the holiday event was made possible by a $10,000 community donation from GECU.
“Winter Wonderland is where the magic of the holidays meets the power of discovery,” said Gina Martinez, CEO of La Nube. “Thanks to GECU’s generous support, we can open our doors to thousands of families and show that learning and joy can thrive together during the holiday season.”
Meanwhile, Stephanie Quiroz, GECU Vice President of Community Engagement, added, “GECU is proud to support La Nube’s Winter Wonderland. Together, we will create opportunities for families to connect, learn, and celebrate with loved ones this holiday season.”
La Nube is located at 201 W. Main Dr., right across the street from the Southwest ballpark and the El Paso Convention Center.
