Palacio del Gobierno

Historic building that dates back to the 18th century that traces the period from the Spanish Conquest to the Revolution.

Reviewed By marcain - Washington DC, United States

Outstanding. You will be welcomed in front of the museum, with help in buying the tickets for admission (50 pesos/person, cheaper for seniors). The person who helps you will offer a tour of the museum, take the offer. The guides are very knowledgeable, and clearly love what they're showing you. I offered a tip at the end of our very helpful tour through the exhibits, which our guide very graciously but definitively declined. So, a donation to the museum. Which is quite wonderful.

Housed in a beautiful building designed by world-famous architect Ricardo Legorreta, this museum features works of major Mexican and Latin American artists.

Even at COVID-19 times, you can still enjoy art. Even I'm not a big fan of contemporary art, I really appreciate to have open places for culture at very reasonable prices.

There is a beautiful group of peacocks and different birds outside, just before you start the visit, then you have a science museum, perfect for children 3-14, and also an IMAX theater, with very interesting documentaries.

Museo del Desierto

Reviewed By 815israelv - Chicago, United States

This museum has a combination of fossils exhibits, live animals, educational videos, and natural science facts with uncomplicated explanations. People of all ages can enjoy a visit of this museum and learn about fossils found in Mexico, climate facts and how the different deserts are found around the globe as well as their respective plants and fauna. A small collection of live animals, great exhibits of serpents, and nice collection of cactus and other desert plants. The only downside in my opinion is separate the cost of the parking and the entrances, but it is worth it the prices. At the end, you leave the place with a significant knowledge of prehistoric era, deserts, animals and plants habitats from some arid areas of Mexico. It also makes you conscious of the ambient and the consequences of the human negligence.
