Review & FAQ:

Located in the Costa Rican Science Center Complex in San Jose, the Children’s Museum is an interactive, hands-on museum in which kids can play, laugh, learn, explore, and discover everything from astronomy to ecology and the science of everyday life. One of the most popular exhibits is an earthquake simulator. There are more than 40 fascinating exhibits that both kids and parents enjoy. Kids get a kick out of learning that the building in which the museum is located used to be an old military prison that was closed in 1979, long before it became home to the Children’s Museum. There is an exhibit that showcases the life and suffering the prisoners endured while incarcerated within the walls of what is today a fun, cheerful place.
