The exhibitions are an embarrassment for the most part, what makes the place worth it is the garden. There are a few interesting fossils, the diagram of Earth's timeline is fun to watch. There are a few taxidermied animals but most are sadly old and barely holding together. The garden is nice and peaceful, you will see a lot of trails and birds. The entrance is on the Mariscal Cruz road with limited parking. You just need to get your car close to the metal gate and a guard will open it. There is also parking near the roundabout, on the street, take it at your own risk.

Everyone with a heartbeat should go here. I probably spent at least an hour in the garden. It’s by far the best botanical garden I’ve ever been in and is VERY well taken care of. I recommend going and finding a bench to sit on, you’ll see birds of all sorts of shapes and colors. I even saw a well-mannered possum wander down a nearby path. They have a local pollinator hive on the grounds and a cute little museum as well. 10 GTQ to enter and well worth it.

A beautiful gem hidden in plain view amongst the bustling Gautemala City's Avenida Reforma. I parked in front of the university and then walked to the entrance. Includes access to the natural history museum and the garden (the main attraction, entrance to the left) Trees, Plants, Flowers, butterflies, birds, a few squirrels, and a cactai garden. It is one of tranquil places in Guatemala City! A must see!

Beautiful refuge in the middle of the city. Obviously a lot of care for the gardens, but underfunded. The attached natural history museum has a range of collections. Definitely worth a visit, consider a donation as well, they could use the support for this special place.

Este es un área cien por ciento verde dentro de la contaminación de la ciudad. Lo más interesante es que tiene un museo bastante amplio e informativo, muestra una variedad de piedras, plantas y animales. El precio que se paga por entrar es de tres quetzales, lo cual es súper accesible. Lo único que deberían mejorar es en la implementación de un parqueo, no es muy visitado y por lo mismo se mantiene vacío, pero es una excelente opción para salir de la rutina.

Es un lugar muy bonito, donde puedes apreciar de la gran cantidad de especies botánicas que en éste lugar hay cultivadas. Como bien se dice, resulta ser uno de los monumentos más atractivos que ofrece la ciudad. De todo lo bueno que tiene, solo hay algo que reprochar: Y es que es una verdadera lástima que solo abre entre semana. Porque si estuviera abierto fines de semana, habrían muchos niños que podrían ir y llevar a sus padres.
