The International Museum of Art & Science provides educational programs, cultural events, and exhibits primarily focused on the ecosystem of the Rio Grande River. It has an interactive science playground in which children can crawl, climb, and slide their way to discovery about the Rio Grande, the award-winning Watershed exhibit which invites hands-on discovery about the water cycle, and a weekend science presentation designed by NASA which displays celestial and planetary systems as seen by space probes, satellites, and the Hubble Space Telescope.

An outdoor sculpture garden displays large statuary from the U.S. and Mexico. Summer camps, school programs, and guided tours are available.
