👍 Simple but interesting museum about the history of the Chapultepec forest, from pre-Hispanic times to the present day.

    It is an excellent place to visit, in addition to the fact that we went to see two very good musical groups, one of rockabilly and one of reggae called root tenoch, really very good groups, it was worth going to listen to those magnificent groups, also They did it in one of the most emblematic places of our city, in the Chapultepec forest, it is still one of the most beautiful to visit, exercise, have a picnic, etc. If you don't know him yet you have to do it and if you already know him you have to return, whoever knows him has a very good impression, the only bad thing I find is that those scammers with the little bird, the ball and the photos keep coming, but from then on everything is excellent, if you like my comment, give me a like and/or follow me so you can see all my photos and reviews.

    (Translated by Google) The historic building that served as the entrance to the former Military College, in the First Section of Chapultepec Forest, houses the Site Museum and Visitor Center. The Museum contains the historical memory of Chapultepec Forest, as well as its biological and cultural wealth. The visitor center that works to guide those who arrive at the park. There they are also responsible for communicating recent events; the daily activities or efforts of those who protect and rescue the park. The building in its contemporary presentation is divided into two. In a room is the Museum of the site where the story of Chapultepec is told through various engravings, photographs, botany drawings, plans, documents and historical objects (Original) El edificio histórico que funcionó como entrada del antiguo Colegio Militar, en la Primera Sección del Bosque de Chapultepec, alberga el Museo de Sitio y Centro de Visitantes. El Museo contiene la memoria histórica del Bosque de Chapultepec, así como a su riqueza biológica y cultural. El centro de visitantes que funciona para guiar a los que llegan al parque. Ahí también se encargan de comunicar los acontecimientos recientes; las actividades diarias o los esfuerzos de quienes protegen y rescatan el parque. El edificio en su presentación contemporánea se divide en dos. En una sala se encuentra el Museo de sitio donde se cuenta la historia de Chapultepec a través de diversos grabados, fotografías, dibujos de botánica, planos, documentos y objetos históricos

    (Translated by Google) Each place of this cultural lung has a lot to tell, a few steps from the Chapultepec metro you have more than 240 hectares to run, read, live, listen to music, enrich your neuro library with every palpable history, touch the soft crust of the ahuehuetes, etc. And if you come to a museum night you can observe a magical moment that seems like a fairy tale ... the dance of the fireflies 🤩😍❗❗ The great thing about this day is that there are guided tours with which you will be surprised to hear so many stories. And this ... only in the 1st Section! (Original) Cada lugar de este pulmón cultural, tiene mucho que contar, a unos pasos del metro Chapultepec tienes más de 240 hectáreas para correr, leer, convivir, oír música, enriquecer tu neuro biblioteca con toda historia palpable, tocar la suave corteza de los ahuehuetes, etc. Y si vienes a una noche de museos podrás observar un mágico momento que pareciera de cuento de hadas... el baile de las luciérnagas 🤩😍❗❗ Lo estupendo de este día, es que hay visitas guiadas con las que te sorprenderás de escuchar tantas historias. Y esto.... sólo en la 1a Sección!

    (Translated by Google) It is a space of cultural diffusion very well achieved for the enjoyment of the walkers of the Chapultepec forest, it exhibits some objects from the museums such as Anthropology and Templo Mayor, as well as from the same site of the forest. Although it is small, it is worth visiting. Congratulations to its creators for this place (Original) Es un espacio de difusión cultural muy bien logrado para disfrute de los paseantes del bosque de Chapultepec, exhibe algunos objetos de los museos como Antropología y templo Mayor, así como del mismo sitio del bosque. Aunque es pequeño vale la pena visitarlo. Felicidades a sus creadores por este lugar

    (Translated by Google) THE MUSEUM OF THE SITE IS LOCATED IN AN OLD BUILDING THAT WAS THE ENTRANCE TO THE MILITARY COLLEGE HERE IS EXPOSED THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE FOREST OF CHAPULTEPEC ASI AS A DESCRIPTION OF ITS FAUNA AND FLORA. THE MOST OUTSTANDING IS THAT IT WORKS AS A VISITING CENTER WHERE THE PERSONNEL IS IN CHARGE, INFORMS AND GUIDES, NOT ONLY THROUGH ITS HISTORY BUT OF ITS CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES. (Original) EL MUSEO DEL SITIO ESTA UBICADO EN UN ANTIGUO EDIFICIO QUE FUE LA ENTRADA AL COLEGIO MILITAR AQUÍ SE EXIBE LA MEMORIA HISTORICA DEL BOSQUE DE CHAPULTEPEC ASI COMO UNA DESCRIPCIÓN DE SU FAUNA Y FLORA. LO MAS DESTACADO ES QUE FUNCIONA COMO UN CENTRO DE VISITANTES DONDE EL PERSONAL ENCARGADO, INFORMA Y GUIA, NO SOLO A TRAVES DE SU HISTORIA SINO DE SUS ACTIVIDADES CULTURALES Y ARTISTICAS.

    The museum is good! The little train leaves behind the monument to the Heroes children. It doesn't cost $25 like it says on the Internet; It's $40 per person regardless of age. I recommend you bring your drinks and snacks, since the tenants, under the pretext of paying for the place they occupy, increase the prices of things by 300%. When we no longer let them see our faces, they will have to treat us with respect.

    Small, but extremely informative about the forest today and in its past.

  • 5/5 Ale M. 5 months ago on Google • 202 reviews
    It is the on-site museum, very small and quick to explore, it tells you some information about the Chapultepec forest, it is free of charge and it is very entertaining. Also inside it is a small souvenir shop. Widely recommended!

    (Translated by Google) THE BUILDING WAS VERY WELL. THE ONLY THING IS THAT ITS CONTENT IS VERY POOR FOR EVERYTHING THAT CHAPULTEPEC MEANS. IT IS TOO VERY ABSTRACT AND LACKS OF MANY ELEMENTS AS THEMES ABOUT THIS LEGENDARY PLACE. (Original) EL EDIFICIO QUEDÓ MUY BIEN. LO ÚNICO ES QUE SU CONTENIDO ESTÁ MUY POBRE PARA TODO LO QUE SIGNIFICA CHAPULTEPEC. SE VE DEMASIADO AUSTERO Y FALTA MUCHOS ELEMENTOS COMO TEMÁTICAS SOBRE ESTE LEGENDARIO LUGAR.

    (Translated by Google) A small museum that has very relevant information about the importance of Chapultepec for the cultures of the Valley of Mexico. Also its history after the conquest, in the colony and in independent Mexico, through foreign interventions and finally, its transformation into a reserve and its recovery work. It is quiet, unfortunately it does not have many people. It runs very fast and the information is clear and fair. (Original) Un museo pequeño que tiene información muy relevante sobre la importancia de Chapultepec para culturas del valle de México.

  • 4/5 Helena S. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The content of the place is important, given the effort from the Porfiriato to the date of the tangent historical evolution, but archeologically it is to give it a greater value since today the springs no longer exist, and the ruins were forgotten.

  • 3/5 Guillermo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Es una edificio rescatado y casi reconstruido, pues según las fotos que ellos mismos presentan estaba en muy mal estado. Solo son dos salas, ambas pequeñas, que te informan sobre el rescate del bosque y lo que se ha rehabilitado en los últimos 20 años (que se agradece). En una de ellas hay un mapa interactivo de las 3 secciones del bosque, para conocer puntos de interés y que hacer en cada uno, mi hija de 8 años de entretuvo bastante con él. No diría que es un un imperdible, pero si uno está cerca, una pequeña visita está bien. Justo afuera todavía está en exhibición uno de los insectos gigantes de la reciente exposición Insecta. Además justo enfrente está la estación del nuevo trenecito, que por $25 pesos te da un breve recorrido por la 1era sección de Chapultepec.

    Es un museo pequeño que cuenta principalmente la historia de Chapultepec desde la época prehispánica hasta lo que se convirtió después la zona, creo que resulta interesante visitarlo justo al llegar a Chapultepec para así tener un poco más de contexto de algunos de los puntos de interés que hay alrededor.

    (Translated by Google) The only pleasant thing is the construction, because inside the only museum it has are cartels, so it does not matter to see images from the internet than to visit the place physically.
