    A wonderful botanical garden, harboured inside a glass covering designed by Leopoldo Flores in the early 20th century. It has wonderful plants, clear alleyways, well maintained glasses. If you're looking for nature and modern art together, this is the place to visit, in Toluca. Most of the plants, as told in local fore are native to Mexico. Quite a few even compare the beauty of the stained glass with the beauty of the plants within.

    Food: NA/5 Service: 5/5 (paid tour) Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: NA/5 Family/stroller friendly: 5/5 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!

    This place is amazing! Definitely the must-see attraction in this city. And only 25 pesos to enter! I recommend going before 1pm on a weekend as a lot of families with children arrive after 1 and there will be a line to get in and less peaceful inside. Or go early on a weekday and have the whole place to yourself! Only drawback is the bathrooms there are quite dirty and unkempt. No toilet paper or towels on the mens room. Smelled like Satan's toilet seat. But thankfully the bathrooms are far from the garden itself in the basement so just go before you go and you'll be fine.

    This place is gorgeous. Great for a nice, quiet, peaceful stroll. It is beautiful and well kept. The stained glass gives it a magical touch and the variety of plants, fountains and flowers creates a lovely environment. It's in the center of Toluca which makes it easy to walk to other landmarks like the cathedral.

    Beautiful and tranquil. Very well kept. My only "complaint" would be that they don't have labels for the plants like a traditional botanical garden would normally have. Other than that, I highly recommend visiting the place.

    This place is amazing.. All the stained glass and the different habitats. Great place to visit, the earlier the better since you can observe how the entire place gets lit up by the sun beams. I definitely will recommend you to visit. The city is beautiful and looked very clean.

    The garden is just basic. The real reason to visit is to see the stain glass. It is magnificent.

    Unique place to visit in Toluca, one of the best places to visit in Toluca. This place is full of stories and art, each section of the building comes with its own history and background story. I highly suggest getting the guided tour because the place has a lot of information to dig in that only the employees know about. Finally, the souvenir shop its not that cheap due to the fact that the place is one of the most famous in Toluca.

    The main attraction here is the glassworks and the botanical garden completed the scene. The place is one of those individual art pieces of character. If you are in Toluca you must visit and enjoy the soothing music and the fine glass art. This place used to be a market place then was converted into an attraction. There’s a small Japanese corner/ garden where you can also see some fishes, Jasmine and simple Japanese decorations. The Japanese garden fountain wasn’t working when I visited. I think that you should dedicate perhaps an hour or slightly less to enjoy and give yourself sometime for couple of photographs with artistic backgrounds.

    This is a must visit place in Mexico that has the world's largest stained glass mural window by the MexicanLeopoldo Flores. His beautiful handwork was brought to life by more than 60 artisans and words cannot describe the beauty of this place when it is lit with sunlight 😍. Well kept and maintained by the local authorities.

    It was amazing to go to Cosmovitral (botanical garden). The garden has different parts like tropical, desert, japanese. With the colorful windows you can take amazing pictures. The 25 pesos were worth it. We went there in the late afternoon (after 4pm). We could go in directly, inside they were around 20-30 other people. The botanical garden closes at 6pm.

    The Cosmovitral is just beautiful, well designed botanical garden and the art glass in he windows is impressive. The place is very relaxing in the middle of downtown Toluca, the building was an old Mercado and it was converted into a botanical garden. Even president Obama has a picture here. Visit

    Beautiful gardens and stained glass collections. This place has a lot of history and meaning to it so I recommend reading up on it or getting the guided tour. Inside you have multiple sections for various plants and geographic locations with native plants, ponds, bridges, fountains etc.

    Breathtaking! Visited several times and it is always a pleasure. Definitely worth going with a guide during the spring equinox.

  • 5/5 fazal s. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place. Must listen to the commentary by the guide then u will know the story behind the art

  • 5/5 Michelle Siloé Vargas F. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful, for many reasons. One of them is that this is the biggest stained glass in the world! You can't miss it if you go to Toluca. You'll find very relaxing music and I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience.

  • 5/5 Roberta G. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved this place. Go es interior peace. Shouldnt miss it.

  • 5/5 Rashad a. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited this place with my wife & her family that stays in San Juan Tilapa Mexico, which is about 15 minutes outside of Toluca, Mexico 7/2022. The place is amazing! Word of advice, go with someone who understands both Spanish & English if you're an English speaker. That way you'll benefit from the free tour guide that will give you a comprehensive history of this magnificent & beautiful museum. It is a fee to enter, but it's well worth it!

  • 5/5 Moritz W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the most beautiful installations of coloured glass I have ever seen. It is straight forward just astonishing. A 100% recommendation if you are around the area.

  • 5/5 O P. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it. It's so cool to see many different kind of plants and trees in this beautiful building. The Vitrales are interesting too.

  • 5/5 Topher T. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible. Probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. For wheelchairs, it very accessible. I don't believe you needed to climb up any steps to get in and the entire interior has wonderful flat paths. An easy drive from Mexico City.

  • 5/5 MilkKefir 2 years ago on Google
    This was my second time visiting the Cosmovitral. I keep noticing new details in the stained glass, the structure and the immaculately manicured verdant gardens each with each new visit.
