Museo del Desierto — Attraction in Coahuila

My second trip to Saltillo included the Museo del Desierto. Many locals recommend this museum to visit. As an independent author in which my book project was specifically on the Chihuahuan Desert, this museum offers excellent exhibits of the Chihuahuan Desert, the largest in North America.

The paleontology exhibits are very deep here and the Chihuahuan Desert is very rich in discovery of many dinosaurs and periods existing in the area. But that's just one major part of this museum.

The geological exhibits here are the creme of the crop, they definitely steal the show. I have never seen a spectacular display of rocks, minerals, and precious gems.

Also to note, the reptile exhibit is pretty amazing as well, every type of rattlesnake found in these southern and southwest regions are here, including Guila Monsters. Also there is a Mexican Wolves exhibit which are very rare, and endangered.

Plan on spending a long time at this amazing location, it is a very large museum and has a very diverse offering of exhibits. You will not be...

This museum is amazing! So many natural history wonders, and most fossils found locally! The crystal cave exhibit was breathtaking, the mineral and gemstone section was gorgeous, the animals on display are well kept and look happy/healthy, the history of the Mexican people was well represented, you can observe cave drawings and take a step through the many eras of earth’s history, and they had many live activities to observe as well as an outdoor area with live animals as well. I really enjoyed seeing the paleontology lab. The gift shop is well stocked, there is a cactus exhibit annd nursery you can purchase from, snacks annd drinks are available to purchase, and there are many guides on staff to answer questions. It truly is a fascinating place, and everyone who visits and/or lives in Coahuila should take the time to soak in the wonders of this...

El museo del desierto, to be the most representative place to visit in the city it for sure has great things, but also has its flaws; they may be minimum and for most people maybe not that important. (Things like no-description on several items, on some rooms it's hard to know what you need to see first and what's next). This may be too personal but it seemed to me that some animals (real animals) were very stressed, and with this I am not blaming the museum but trying to raise awareness that animlas just should not be captive.

Overall: Very informative 10/10 Many things to see 10/10 Place to eat 10/10

By the way, I also think the price is...
