  • 5/5 Diego V. 5 months ago on Google • 434 reviews
    It is located next to the botanical garden but has a connection to it, it costs Q3.00 national and Q10.00 foreigners. It is a small exhibition but it is very interesting, mostly about the flora and fauna of the country, they have an area dedicated to the quetzal, others to plants, fungi, insects, aquatic animals, mammals, some minerals, etc. They have different quite interesting exhibits, it is a good plan to do something different and also take advantage of the botanical garden.

    It is very entertaining and has connected rooms to go to the different stages of biology, it is a little small and some stations are not open to the public, the nice thing is that it has a rest area and a small bridge full of leaves.

    I feel that the plant area is a little neglected, before everything is well identified. Now they no longer have a description. But in general clean bathrooms, there are water fountains, and if you bring a pachón you can fill it, there is parking without additional charge.

    El museo está compuesto por un area verde y una exhibición de diversas cosas entre ellas fetos, las instalaciones las tienen en buen estado considerando que son del Estado.

    Good place for those who like this type of culture, I don't know the budget they give them but there are pieces already in deterioration.

    It requires investment in preventive and corrective maintenance in different areas of the facilities, but it is a treasure with invaluable wealth.

    Unforgettable, it is a beautiful place for excursions with students, family and friends, learning about the history of orchids and the different species of trees... Personally, knowing the ant tree, the lizard tree and the ombu was pleasant, my stay with my friends was pleasant. @s. I hope to visit you another time
