I really enjoyed El Monumento a la l Revolución. They have just enough information boards to make it interesting, but not too tedious to read. The tickets cost 150 pesos and there's no need to buy them in advance. Generally, the wait to enter is minimal, but you do have to check your backpack at the counter. They put it in a large bag and on the shelf, giving you a number to hold on to. The beginning of the self guided tour is to go downstairs and travel through some passages, before going up on the elevator. One person on the group wears a paper bracelet, where the activities get crossed out as you complete them. The elevator takes you to the upper level, and then you have to take stairs to go down to the observation deck and later up to the very top of the monument. It is not wheelchair friendly.... The views from the top are very lovely, with a 360 degree range. There is a little café and a drink stand. You can enjoy your snack at the little tables positioned around the deck. On the way down, you can take the elevator or the stairs. We choose the latter. It was fun to go around the metal beams and floors. All, somewhere on the way down, there were bathrooms. Great experience and history.

I've been to the museum previously and I really liked it. I highly recommend climbing to the top, the view is amazing and the dome is absolutely gorgeous. The gift shop is pretty cool too! Great for non cliche souvenir shopping :)

Another great place to view the city from the top observatory deck area. The historic part of this experience was also great. The journey takes you through ramps, stairs and an elevator. You will first tour through the underground museum. Look carefully at the outdoor pillars. Each one holds the remains of important Mexican historical figures including Pancho Villa. They have a small coffee shop at the top deck and a larger one on the first floor. We purchased our tickets here.

Monumental. Can take elevator to observe. Outside there were many local vendors selling arts and crafts.

Monument/vista/national shrine all rolled into one. After an interesting art installation, take an elevator to the top and explore several levels around the dome. A cafe offers a limited menu for you to relax while atop the monument. Well worth your while, if you have time!

Very interesting place and very good to learn about mexico's history

I didn’t know what to expect when the tour guide said that this will be the best site to view the sunset in Mexico City. I was thoroughly impressed! There are 3 levels of various viewing platforms which provide a 360 degree view of the Mexico City, making it the perfect spot to view the sunset indeed.

Awesome feat of engineering to which you get to explore every crevice. Loved crawling around in the structure of the dome and getting to ride the elevator straight up the middle. Super cool.

A place with much history, beautiful architecture, and great views of the city. Visited here at night time. There is a museum section with a lot of details of the Mexican revolution and the history of the structure it self. And you can also take the lift to the top of the monument. From there, you have a viewpoint of the entire city, in all four directions. There was a cafe but it was closed as it was pretty late in the night. You climb down the stairs and the museum continues on the stairway as well. Have to say that this is a well thought out experience by the designers of the museum. A recomended visit in CDMX.

We saw it from our taxi. It was beautiful, and very large. However, it seems like there is some kind of construction going on. Either way, definitely worth seeing while in Mexico City!!

Awesome monument with a lengthy history to become what it is today. Apparently some of the revolutionary fathers are buried in each column of the structure (Francisco "Pancho" Villa, Venustiano Carranza, Lazaro Cardenas, Francisco I. Madero, Plutarco Calles). The paid elevator ride goes up about 150 ft in about 20 seconds. FYI, apparently you have to walk down several flights of stairs. Not sure if that is the norm to get you to buy their stuff or whether that was just when we went. Stunning views and well worth the visit.

Beautiful from the top. Building structure is a must see!! Lots of stairs and steep. Wouldn’t recommend if afraid of heights.

A MUST SEE in Mexico City!!! Tremendous views after you ascend in the elevator. Small cafes for coffee and cold drinks in the upper viewing areas. Staff is wonderful! Access to the Museum on the ground floor requires separate tickets. Mexican senior citizen residents with INAPAM cards receive entrance discounts.

Very interesting and cool building with amazing history. Almost all signs have both Spanish and English on them which was really helpful. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. Really shows just how big this city is. Will definitely come back in the future.

Nice views from the top and a lot of history is included as you walk through the structure. What was not mentioned is that you take an elevator to the top but then you are expected to walk down narrow stairs to get out of the building and we just said "No way Jose; we're taking the elevator" and we rode back down. I've looked at the monument for years and it is worth going to see.

Super cool place that has a museum/historical part that you go through before going upstairs. Once you go up the elevator, there are bathrooms and a crepe stand. Beautiful place to see the city and sunset. If you have a fear of heights like I do then you will def get the heebee geebees going up the glass elevator and going on the stairs but honestly the sunsets are nice. Bring sour candy to distract your mind if you do have a fear of heights.

Very cool monument near the heart of the Zocalo and Historic Center of México City. The elevator is glass for the ride up. The view of the city is awesome.
