Parque Explora — Attraction in Medellín

Parque Explora is located just 5 minutes away from Medellin’s downtown. You can take the METRO de Medellin at Estación Parque Berrío and just ride it three more stations: Prado, Hospital and Universidad. Once you get Estación Universidad walk some stairs down and you will make it. Parque Explora is a great educational place for families and schools/students to spend half a day or even a whole day full of learning. Undoubtedly, both grown-ups and children are expected to boost their knowledge on sea animals, music, time, movies, dinosaurs, physics and the mind. Each SALA (room) provides visitors with lots of hands-on activities and useful information and facts not only in Spanish but also in English. On your visit, get ready to learn about animals such as clown and blue tang fish, temblón, raya Barranquilla el ajolote, la rana dorada and much more, or other topics, namely acoustics, animunculi, Colombian rhythms, rotoscoping, time zones. It goes without saying that in Parque Explora you can also find nice and knowledgeable park guides that help you navigate each SALA and the rest of the park facilities aw well. They are absolutely eager to answer any kind of question you might have on each park’s theme. By the way, do not hesitate to drop by Parque Explora shop and get souvenirs and gifts for your beloved ones as well as educational resources for your classes in case you...

What a wonderful place. This is a interactive museum where you can learn thousands of interesting things. You will need at least one full day to visit it, best if you take two.

When you come in, there is a few interesting attractions in the outdoor part, where you can experience some cool things about physics. There is a small but interesting aquarium with sweet and salty water spices and a terrarium with only few but cool small animals.

In the different rooms of the park (music, mind, time…) you get to see, touch, read, hear and experience in different ways how those things work. There are a looot of pieces to interact with. Everything have explanations in Spanish and most of them in english as well. There is looots of staff around the place to help you, answer your questions and explain you the attractions. Most of the workers very kind, friendly and very passionate about the job.

Inside of the park you have some restaurants and cafes so you don’t even need to go out.

When its busy, it can be a bit overcrowded and you will have to wait some time to get to use the different components, but not a big deal.

Very recommended for everyone, families, couples, kids and adults. There is something for everyone.

We loveeed it and when we will be back in Medellin, we will be back at explora Park without doubt.

Congratulations for the amazing park and keep up...

My family came here to spend the day while visiting Medellin last week. Based on the website and YouTube videos, I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew there were the outdoor hands on activities and the aquarium, but I didn’t know about all the other activities upstairs.

We spent 5 hours here walking through the outdoor areas, aquarium and all 4 of the themed rooms. We were pleasantly surprised by all the hands on, interactive stations in each section. Each room upstairs is separated into different themes: time, music, mind and “on stage.” Each area had something interesting for both adults and kids. It was a perfect way to spend the day for my 8 year old.

The staff was helpful and everyone we interacted with was very pleasant. They helped us understand what each activity was about and the man working down in the aquarium was very informative and nice to speak with. The facilities were clean and well maintained with nothing out of order.

The only thing that could be improved upon in my opinion is the food offerings. There are only a few fast food options and nothing looked fresh or well made. Be sure to eat beforehand or bring snacks if you will be there for a long time.

For the price we paid (40 mil COP per person) and all the fun we had, it was well worth it. I highly recommend to visit here, especially if...
