Although this is only small, the building itself is beautiful ( formerly the San José airport) and contains some excellent examples of Costa Rican art including several impressive sculptures in the outside exhibition area.

Jade Museum

The Jade Museum and of precolumbian culture is positioned as an innovative state-of-the-art cultural proposal in the protection and conservation of archaeological heritage in Central America. Located in the center of Costa Rics's capital, the building was especially constructed to house the museum's collection, its architecture evoking a cut jade block. Its five levels exhibit objects crafted by artisans specialized in solving their daily subsistence needs, their spiritual and political world.

This museum, also reviewed by Trip Advisor visitors under its name, Museo de Jade (ha-day), has an overwhelming collection of jade and pottery (and a few gold works) recovered from parts of Costa Rica. At first I was a bit frustrated by the volume of materials without much information, until I learned that there were supposed to be (and are) computer screens/kiosks which will tell you more; many of them were not working, but many were (I learned). In any case, soon I was immersed in the experience, as there are many informative displays, including dioramas. The "day" and "night" exhibits, and the "memories" exhibit, are stunning. I spent more time than most people (based on being "passed" many times), I was enthralled. Do allow at least a couple hours. There are quite a few activities for young people, I think it's a good family museum, overall. Spanish is of course the dominant language, but there are many signs and subtitles in English. In sum, this museum helped me realize just how complex and complete pre-Columbian Costa Rican culture was. Fascinating art and artisanry, you will make an authentic connection with these peoples.

Museo de los Ninos

Reviewed By kingmodiddy - San Diego, United States

This museum blew us away it was unexpected we had some extra time in San Jose with my four-year-old son they had 2 zip lines going across the upper part of the museum as well as two suspended walkways very safe they put on harnesses attach the lines as well as helmets staff on either end of the obstacles. There was a cars movie themed area with all of the cars from the movie and lots of different rooms that showed the historical prison cells it used to be. Highly recommend

Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo

Reviewed By judybS8317YH - Annapolis Royal, Canada

Beautiful hike in the thick forest protected from the rain. We had rain and sun and a beautiful morning. First hike is about an hour, second one across the highway about 30 min. The friendly ranger pointed out a three toed sloth in a tree near the parking lot . Pack a lunch as there are picnic tables, bathrooms and drinking water.
