Water Museum EPM — Attraction in Medellín

They have tried very hard to create an interesting set of exhibits about water. I found much of it to be interesting, but if you don't speak Spanish it's not going to be easy as there is nothing written or spoken in any other language during the tour. I believe this activity would be more interesting to kids, although I'm not sure all kids would find it interesting enough to hold their attention. I was told the tours leave every 15 minutes and the last tour leaves at 4:00 p.m. My tour moved kind of slowly and the group that came in 15 minutes after our tour started actually passed us during the time I was there. The current entry fee is 6,000 pesos and if you are over 60 years old you get in for free. You could combine this tour with a visit to the park along the river...

I found the Water Museum to be a very interesting and informative experience. There’s a small admission fee, and you go in with a group led by a guide who walks you through the different sections.

The exhibits explore how water impacts Colombia—from biodiversity to everyday uses and the country’s ecosystems. Our guide was knowledgeable, answered every question, and really made the tour engaging.

I learned so much about where water comes from, how it’s used, and its importance to Colombia’s environment. It’s suitable for families as well—there were kids in our group who seemed to enjoy it, though the many stops for explanations may feel a bit hectic at times.

Overall, it was a lovely tour and a great way to learn more about Colombia’s natural resources....

This was a wonderful experience. Very educational and insightful. It’s not only for the family and kids but for adults too because it reminds us the importance of water in our lives. I recommend it for anyone who also loves science and anyone who simply wishes to learn more about our precious water. The ONLY unfortunate part is that you HAVE to be part of a tour to go in… this is sometimes good but also at times inconvenient for visitors who like to take their time through each section. I for one, am neurodivergent and need time to retain and understand information. They need to make it more accessible for different learning types. Some areas and interactive objects need maintenance. Other than that, great...
