Biomuseo - Panama's Coolest Museum for Kids! 🌈🦜
Jennifer BJennifer B
Came for the day to learn about the diversity of plants and animals in Panama. The set up of the museum was really cool to walk through. They have an area with screens on all sides and on the floor. That was cool. My favorite part was the area about connecting north and south america. They have a screen that shows what animals came south and went north. They also have an aquarium area.. one with pacific side and one with Caribbean side. That was also cool. The last part has a projector on the floor and when you step on certain symbols it lights up and gives you information. I have never seen that before and enjoyed the interaction. The staff was friendly and informative. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because it was really difficult to understand their operating hours. Online it says they are open till 3pm. However, after we rushed there to have enough time, we were told that the ticket booth is only open till 3, but the museum is open till 4. Just FYI for future visitors. Once done, there's a nature path with a small pond and nice plants as well as views to the canal.

If you're a fan of the architect Frank Gehry, you can't help but take a closer look at the striking, colourful building that is the Biomuseum. It is also his first project in Latin America. If you want to learn more about Panama, the history of the Panama Canal, the population, biodiversity and the country's efforts to protect the environment, the Biomuseum is well worth a visit. Admission is quite expensive ($18 for adults), but in my opinion it is well worth the price. The museum is very well designed: multimedial and interactive. After visiting the exhibits, be sure to visit the outdoor biodiversity park. When the museum is busy, you should escape the hustle and bustle. The park is a refreshing green oasis with a pond, a microcosm with many beautiful plants. If you're lucky, you can even see ships passing through the Panama Canal and under the beautiful Bridge of the Americas. For me, it was a Sunday well spent.

The Biomuseo is a very interesting museum. It's part science museum and part history museum.

When opted to go around 11am on Friday, when they're only open for a few hours. Uber from Casco Viejo cost about $5. Entrance for foreigners / tourists are $18, which is a bit pricey. They do have a discount for seniors though, so that knocked off a few bucks for my mom.

At the beginning, we were given a brief intro by one of the museum staff. All exhibits are in both English and Spanish, so...
