Museo del Niño de Carolina

Very reasonably priced and the kids get a cool bus ride from the parking lot to the museum. Lots of fun learning activities for kids of all ages. New options like boat rides for kids over 3 and a safari train. Mini zoo was full of lots of friendly animals. This was our second time going and both of our kids (4yr & 1.6 yr) both loved it. Definitely recommend bringing your kids and refreshments because it does get hot outside.

The Museo del Niño de Carolina offers a nice, pleasant experience for families, especially for younger kids looking to explore and roam around. While some of the indoor attractions might feel a little outdated compared to larger museums on mainland US, they genuinely try their best to make it engaging for children. The food options for sale are pretty marginal, but still okay. The gift shop is a bit sad, but if you're set on a souvenir, you might find something. The outdoor area is where the museum truly shines! We noticed a "5D" theater, but it was locked during our visit, so we couldn't experience what it offered. Moving past that, there's a really fun playground area that's great for kids of all ages. Just be aware that it's not shaded at all, so expect it to be scorching hot with nowhere to sit. Given how hot these areas can get, it's very important to arrive prepared with plenty of water and keep a close eye on your kids for any signs of heat exhaustion. The mini zoo area was a delightful surprise! You can even pay to feed the animals, which were all very calm and gentle. There's also a large airplane to explore, but the heat outside kept us from checking it out. Overall, it was a nice museum to take the kids to, offering plenty of little areas for them to explore. We'd definitely go again!

The museum brings back fond childhood memories as it’s a staple excursion spot for many schools. However, many of the “interactive” attractions were broken or missing pieces, therefore not being fully enjoyable. They won’t return your money if it rains and you’re yet to use the track racing tickets. Their plane walk-through is scheduled bi-hourly (every half an hour) at the front of the museum. Some museum clerks were unaware of some exhibition data when asked; nonetheless, it was still enjoyed by my nephew. (Beware of the prices, which are quite high and there’re hidden fees as well!)

Excellent experience and very enjoyable day. Please call before going as they do have a limited schedule and close for holidays specific to Puerto Rico.

We needed to take a day break from the beach and took the kids here. The place is cool but simple, unlike other kids museums I've seen. They have other areas outside that cost extra, like why charge $2 more to go inside an out of commission airplane for a "tour" that is like 10mins long and there's nothing to it, they show you a couple things on the outside, you go in the back and out the front and that's it. And when it's closing time, they have staff going around kicking everyone out, lol. All in all, it's a cool place to keep the kids busy for a day.
