    They have tried very hard to create an interesting set of exhibits about water. I found much of it to be interesting, but if you don't speak Spanish it's not going to be easy as there is nothing written or spoken in any other language during the tour. I believe this activity would be more interesting to kids, although I'm not sure all kids would find it interesting enough to hold their attention. I was told the tours leave every 15 minutes and the last tour leaves at 4:00 p.m. My tour moved kind of slowly and the group that came in 15 minutes after our tour started actually passed us during the time I was there. The current entry fee is 6,000 pesos and if you are over 60 years old you get in for free. You could combine this tour with a visit to the park along the river called Parque

    If you want to view all the parts of the museum (9) you will need like 3 hours. We did not have all that time because we had a tour the day we visited and did not know that this museum was that big. You will learn a lot, I really recommend it

    We're all about conserving water, and we speak a bit of Spanish, but we were not Uber impressed with this museum. Turns out you have to wait to get in at specified times because you go around with a group and 'host'. Your time with each exhibit was clocked. Ours seemed to be walking through the steps. Not too $$$ so worth it if you need to kill time.

    I love the place. It is very entertaining and innovative. Staff there are very polite. They even gave us a book in English so we know what the rooms are about.

    Regardless of some lost interesting because the fast the tour starts to be at station 5-6, the museum offers a whole bunch of stuff in many different multimedia ways to share and make to you understand better the complexity around the water world. Great experience!!!

    I thought this was pretty interesting! You have to go with a tour guide and a group, but you're given plenty of time to explore each area. Everything is spoken in Spanish so it's best to at least understand the basics. My 5 year old son doesn't understand any Spanish, but still really enjoyed all the interactive things.

    Nice experience, did not asked if there was a English spoken guide, but the spanish one was perfect

  • 4/5 Al G. 5 years ago on Google
    Tour started with a guide and control of the group. After about 3 or 4 stops the tour kind of disappeared. I lost interest about station 6 or 7 (I couldn't tell). Overall the information & presentation was impressive.
