    A very educational experience with lots to see, interactive and educational exhibits and friendly staff, although many areas were under maintenance as well. Sweet side at least 4 hours of you want to see everything. For the planetarium you have to go buy your tickets at the window. The temporary expositions were charming albeit small. Overall a good way to spend the day.

    Nice museum but somewhat difficult to get to unless you have a car or live near campus. I also wish they allowed people to go through museum on their own. But otherwise, exhibits were interesting and well done.

    Just stayed in the kids area. Needs maintenance, most toys are incomplete. A deeper cleaning would be fine. Visited it on Sunday afternoon, so it was not crowded, however toys are limited and you and your kid will have to take turns and wait in order to play. My kids loved it, they're 2 and 4 years old. It's a nice place to bring your little children to try something different, however, they may be a little young for most activities, so don't get disappointed if they get bored in an hour and they want to leave despite the entrance fee. I'm pretty sure is good for older children, but I had not the chance to visit the rest of the museum. There's is a skeleton of a whale hanging on the main room. Kids really enjoy the view, that's worth paying for. Parking available, but limited. Not really expensive, however you can park outside. Credit cards accepted. Strollers available for rent. Restaurant available inside, good prices.

    It is one of the most prestigious museums in Mexico City. It is an architectural jewel and its collections are always something to see. Also, after you visit, you can enjoy all that the University has to offer: murals, the campus, etc.

    It's a great place for children to get excited about science! The day I went the planetarium was sold out so I can't comment on that. There were quite a bit of workshops throughout the museum. The building seems to be under renovation. The front ticket booth was closed off. I would have given it five stars but some exhibits were broken or out of order.

    Very nice science and technology interactive museum in México City south area. This museum is for all ages and for the while family. It is worth to spend half day visiting it. It is located within Ciudad Universitaria (CU - UNAM). Very close to "Centro Cultural" that has the fantastic concerts hall ("Sala Nezahualcòyotl) The area has relatively easy access by public transportation or by driving there. By the way it has plenty parking space (distributed in several parking lots around Universum and "Centro Cultural" Universum interactive museum is great option to spend half day with family or friends. It also has a very good restaurant. Which it keeps focused to visitor experience.

  • 5/5 Fredson A. 1 month ago on Google • 225 reviews New
    One of the best museums I had the opportunity to visit. The workers there are amazing, and the expositions are amongst the most complete I can recall. There are expositions in diferente areas, and topics, including: math, chemistry, evolution, space and more! The dinosaur one was pretty funny. If you are considering visiting, plan for an entire day: I alone wasn't able to pay complete attention to all expositions in two hours, even in a fast pace.

  • 5/5 Nikki W. 11 months ago on Google • 156 reviews
    A truly superb place to wander around in with the family. There are some interactive activities to keep the young and the young at heart busy and enjoying themselves. We had kids from ages 4-10 and they were all entertained, their favourite being the maths area (and this that the most enthusiastic one claims to "hate" maths). We were there almost the whole day, if you can buy tickets early I would recommend it as we had to wait behind a bunch of busloads of kids to get ours on the day

    We had a great time with the kids but needed more time to explore! We stopped for lunch at the restaurant inside. Service was excellent, food was wholesome and great quality. Something on the menu for everyone, even the kids!

    Great place for kids of all ages has a wonderful play area and lots to learn with interactive presentations. Has rest areas and a restaurant/ food market for all day adventurers. Plenty of friendly staff to help you find your way and even teach you a thing or two along the way.

  • 3/5 Victoria G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Its category is very low since the rooms are no longer so dynamic and apart they charge dearly, children from 2 years old pay 80 pesos, it is not fair for me because there are no dynamics so accessible to them (Original) Bajo mucho su categoría ya que las salas ya no son tan dinámicas y aparte cobran carísimo los niños a partir de 2 años pagan 80 pesos no se me hace justo pues no hay dinámicas tan accesible a para ellos

    This museum is wonderful, has everything you imagine, like the universe to the evolución, if someone is interested to know something about, anything, that's the place to find it, i really like the employers they know how to say all of the museum, the place is awesome, i really like the fact that it is all kind off things and is all interactive, to all the ages

  • 4/5 Carlos Alberto H. 3 years ago on Google
    Sad that it is closed, sad that the ecological reserve is also closed. It would be nice to let kids be in contact with nature directly, not just watching from a fence. However, it is still a beautiful place

  • 4/5 Julio C. 8 months ago on Google
    It is a good place to have a weekend day with all family. Price is good, but for my experience, I do not recommend the planetarium.

  • 5/5 Alonso C. 11 months ago on Google

    such a cute place, really interesting and appropriate for all ages; you should arrive early in order to get tickets for the planetarium, and i recommend taking the whole day to explore the entire museum

  • 4/5 alejandra h. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a fun place for everyone. Interactive museum where you actively learn. However, it could benefit from including even more new activities or expositions. Visiting it once or twice is fun, but gets boring and repetitive after that.

  • 2/5 Arturo Ramirez T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I give it a star because the guides and the rooms are very important and interactive. But not others, the cafeteria is too late, and they criticize people for coming from different places. The administrative staff is very desperate they are not at work and they do the same visitor I do it alone. The second star is for the guides, who really have a vocation for service. In addition, everything is understood and very well explained, a pride for the guides. (Original) Le coloco una estrella por que los guías y las salas son muy importantes y interactivas. Pero los demás no, la cafetería es demasiado tardía, además critican a la gente por venir de distintos lugares. El personal administrativo es muy desesperado no están en su trabajo y hacen el mismo visitante lo hago solo. La segunda estrella son para los guías, que en verdad tiene la vocación de servicio. Además a todo se le entiende y muy bien explicado, un orgullo a los guías.

    It needs some maintenance. Some exhibits are forgotten, they don't have light or stuff like that. Thought it's not expensive, most of it is great and interesting. Staff members know what they are well prepared and really nice.

  • 3/5 Tim W. 4 years ago on Google
    Some good exhibits. Informative and fun for kids. The Espacio Infantil is a bit wonky but could occupy our little ones for days! Unfortunately, many exhibits and the building as a whole are in desperate need of a facelift. There is an army of well-intentioned and helpful staff (UNAM students?...) but the place still feels under-supported.

    (Translated by Google) 2 years ago I visited it for the first time, but they were remodeling it. I really liked it especially because there are activities where you get to interact with the same visitors as you. 1 week ago we went again and it is even better with the math area. Although they are not my fort in any way ... They make you understand and understand them. This very cool billiard table is an oval shape, like the recycling area ... I am missing that ... If you really want to go through all the rooms ... The best thing is that you arrive early. (Original) Hace 2 años lo visite por primera vez, pero lo estaban remodelando. Me gustó mucho sobretodo por que hay actividades donde llegas a interactuar con los mismos visitantes como tu. Hace 1 semana volvimos a ir y está todavía mejor con el área de matemáticas. Aunque no son mi fuerte de algún modo... Te hacen comprenderlas y entenderlas. Esta muy padre la mesa de billar es forma de ovalo, al igual el área de reciclado... Ese me falto... Si en verdad kieres pasar por todas las salas.. Lo más recomendable es que llegues temprano.
