Great place for kids and families. I came here on a visit to Juarez. I paid about $31 USD for 3 adults and 1 child. I paid with a US Visa card and it worked no problem.

It really helped pass the time. She had lots of fun. The staff was young, fun, informative and mostly bilingual. There was a small food court insise with popcorn/snacks, dominos and a Barrigas Taco spot but we opted for a different restaurant outside of the museum. Walking out into the parking lot was a mini carnival, $1 (U.S.) per ride. There was a park right next door with an ostrich, giraffe and a lake with ducks to feed....
