If
you're
ever
in
the
El
Centro
de
Toluca,
Mexico
area,
this
is
a
must
see
place.
It
is
a
botanical
garden
and
THE
BIGGEST
STAINED
GLASS
HOUSE
in
the
world,
it
absolutely
lives
up
to
it's
name.
There
is
a
fee
to
get
in,
but
very
nominal.
However,
before
even
getting
inside,
just
inside
the
entrance
you'll
find
an
enormous
Orange
hued,
stained
glass
mural,
reminiscent
of
Captain
Marvel,
or
a
rising
Phoenix.
With
the
spring
equinox,
the
sun
hits
perfectly
from
the
outside,
through
the
stained
glass
and
portrays
a
perfect
replica
on
the
botanical
garden
floor.
The
stain
glass
murals
might
even
rival
that
of
the
Sistine
chapel
in
the
way
stories
are
portrayed,
in
my
opinion.
Be
warned
though,
since
this
is
a
botanical
garden,
it
tends
to
be
a
bit
humid
to
keep
a
variety
of
landscapes
and
over
abundance
of
plants
comfortable.
Also,
there
might
be
the
occasional
"influencer"
snapping
photos
and
doing
multiple
runs
of
"live"
dancing.
Anyways,
I
digress.
It's
great
for
families.
Parking
is
no
bueno
as
we
had
to
park
across
the
street.
This
is
a
downtown
area
after
all.
Highly
recommend
if
I'm
the
area!
