At first I was underwhelmed as there is only a small display at the entrance then the site which you can see from the steeet. But once through the site you enter the museum which is 3 or 4 floors of fascinating Mexican history including many artifacts from the site. A must do for everyone coming to Mexico City.

The site looks like a big pile of rocks from the street but has tons of cool details once inside and with signage. There are two museums, a small one with some artifacts and basic information at the site entrance and another entered through the back of the site. The latter is big and modern and has spectacular organization and artifacts. Whole experience about 1.5 hours for us, could have stayed longer.

So awesome that this archeological site is in the middle of a mega city. Learned so much! I appreciated that many of the plaques (esp outside) are in spanish & english. Came in April ‘25. $100 pesos per adult (kids under 13 are free).

Kind of a must see if you have any interest in history at all. You can see a fair bit of the ruins without actually going inside, but for 95 Pesos, go in. My bag was searched and I was forced to check it (because I had a bottle of water in it?); no problem, but I didn’t realize I would be out in the sun for a good bit so I left my sunglasses and hat in the bag, I needed those and my water, so be advised. After you enter, go straight as far as you can and see that display before following the route outside through the ruins. Then enter the main museum, see rooms 1-8 in order before returning back. There are bathrooms right after you enter the turnstiles as well as in the basement of the main museum. You need to exit outside and circle back to pick up your bag if you checked one. The location is central to a lot of other historic and tourist sites.

Very impressive presentation! I was only expecting a few key relics after wandering among the temple ruins, and was greatly surprised by the size of the collection given the anthropology museum is literally just down the road. It was great to see a whole different collection of artifacts still intact, given ruins you walk through to see it. Very engaging and worth a visit whenever you are in El Centro.

This museum is very interesting. You can see parts of the Templo Mayor that are bellow downtown Mexico City. I highly recommend it. Bring an umbrella or a cap the sun is super bright. If you can take the time so see the exhibition carefully they have some gems there.

Life changing experience. WOW. We spent so much time soaking in the ruins and then the amazing, extensive, wonderful, beautifully thought out museum just blew our minds. So many artifacts, the story of the excavation richly and dramatically illustrated. A true gem of a museum. After hours we couldn't even take in more information and just want to return. Incredible to see the 700 years of history in contrast to each other, the ancient, the old, the antique, the modern, and people flowing all over. True river of time. Beautiful excavation and presentation, a must visit in CDMX!

Formerly the heart of the empire, and renamed to Mexica city after the Spanish conquest. Not much to see of this site om the outside due to being razed to the ground mostly from the Spanish conquest, but the indoor museum at the back was incredible large and detailed. We can see how the layers of floor were gradually added over time to protect temples from flooding, and the temple was expanded over centuries.

I really liked this! I didn't expect the museum to be so big, nor the ruins themselves. It looks a lot smaller from the outside. Very cool to walk among all the layers of the various constructions! I spent over 2 hours with the ruins and the museum building combined.

There is a small museum at the entrance, then you walk through some ruins outdoors, then there's a very large 5-story museum you can also visit. All of this is included in the admission price. Most of the signage is bilingual, both Spanish & English. This is absolutely worth a visit!

Very interesting site in the middle of the city center. Guides available, but you can go without, lots of signs and the museum is nice, clean and cooled. Very fascinating how the site was built up on top of each other. Was $100 pesos per person, museum has very clean bathrooms.

If you're at all interested in the history of ancient civilizations or Aztec culture then this museum is an absolute must see. The artifacts and Rich cultural history that is on display here is absolutely fascinating. We ended up spending upwards to 2 hours touring the uncovered temple ruins and the museum itself. Highly recommend if you're visiting Mexico City and want to learn a little bit about the history of the people and the place.
