Great place to visit, an incredible interactive children's museum, well kept and unexpensive considering the experience your kids will have. Very enjoyable More

My 3yr old daughter enjoyed the sandpit and some of the displays inside. She was disappointed not to get an entrance bracelet despite paying an adult fee for her. We also had to dump a packet of hard boiled sweets to be able to get in. The bubble room was a nice idea but needs a rethink as it doesn't... More

Don't get me wrong, it's a great museum but many cities have the same city. But still you should come here if you have kids younger than 12. More

Finally something to do with the kids. They will love it and you can sit down and rest or enjoy it with them. They keep it up to date and well maintained. It is next to the Chapultepec amusement park with a wonderful old but safe roller coaster. Go for it! More

Between the 4 IMAX 3D screens - and the fantastic indoor and outdoor children's museum space plan on spending a whole day here. It's a marvelous museum and we've had to do it twice in a week, my daughter (5) loved it that much. More

This place will keep you and your children entertained and learning for at least one full day. The place is great for all children. The staff is wonderful and there are so many things to see, do, try and touch. Everything is really hands-on. Plan to spend a whole day here. The entrance fee is not cheap, but the museum... More

The Papalote Museo del Nino (The Kite - Children Museum), is a very well organized, high-tech and hands-on museum for kids. However, if the child does not speak Spanish, it could be quite challenging for him or her to enjoy the many displays and other attractions. All signs, description, instruction and audio visuals are in Spanish only. They are very... More

I have been to many children's museums around the world. This is a must see. My two year old daughter would not leave after 3 hours, we went with boys and girls of various ages and there was something to do, see, or create for each one. More
