    Museum is not 100% working but it is a nice place to visit and cheaper. Parking was for free. Not too much people visiting it

    Very poor infrastructure and collection. People are extremely kind but just to compensate such a lame museum that is part of culture ministry. Government corruption and its consequences can be seen in here. Hopefully will change in the future

    Excellent service, attention, maintenance of facilities. But it seems that the authorities have it with the same improvements as 25 years ago.

    Would not recommend for tourists. I had a shotgun shoved in my face by security when I tried to park!

    Hay presentaciones interesantes de las cuales se puede apreciar el verdadero tamaño de algunos animales lo cual hace que la visita no sea mala, se puede apreciar algunos animales que ya está extinctos pero: Hay algunas presentaciones que están en deterioro. El área de la "cueva" no tiene indicación de los elementos que están en las vitrinas (Eso es fácil de arreglar). Siento que es un lugar con potencial que está desperdiciado. Si su expectativa es alta, va a quedar decepcionado(a), pero si no va con altas expectativas, es un rato entretenido, que podría ser más educativo.

    It is an excellent place to learn about science in general, flora and fauna of our country...

    A small museum gives the perception that maintenance is needed in the facilities, however, the history is enriching and interesting in the data presented therein.

    (Translated by Google) A bit small and run down, but worth a visit if you're in the area. (Original) Algo pequeño y descuidado, pero vale la pena visitarlo si estas en el área.

    (Translated by Google) They have a boa in very bad condition! With a small cage and a pond where it does not enter! It is unfortunate that animals are treated like this! Throughout the tour they talk about the biodiversity and protection of the species and how sacred it is for the Mayans and that is how they have the boa! Consistency please! Better move it! To a zoo or serpentarium! And he did not blame the place but the authorities who do not give enough support to improve the "museum". (Original) Tienen en muy mal estado a una boa! Con una pequeña jaula y un estanque donde no entra! Es lamentable que traten así a los animales! Durante todo el recorrido hablan de la biodiversidad y protección de las especies y lo sagrada que es para los mayas y así tienen a la boa! Coherencia porfavor! Mejor moverla de lugar! A un zoológico o serpentario! Y no culpó al lugar sino a las autoridades que no dan suficiente apoyo para mejorar el "museo".

    El museo, se ve abandonado, tiene exposición rápida de recorrer, está bien para llegar con los chicos,

    Lástima que no hay guías. La pitón esta en un espacio muy pequeño. Sin duda los museos son parte indispensable de la educación, se debe invertir más en ellos.
