If you are bringing children with you to Mexico City, a visit to Papalote Museo del Niño (Papalote Children's Museum) is a must. Filled with over 350 different types of exhibits, it is definitely one of the largest children’s museums in the world. No matter what the age or interests of your children, they are sure to find something amazing and memorable inside the Papalote museum. There is an IMAX theater on site, which usually has two films showing at any one time.

If you are in Mexico City and don't have children, but still really wish you could visit the museum, head there on a Thursday night, when the museum opens up for just grown-ups.

Admission to the museum is $5 for adults, $3 for children under 12, $4 for children over 12, and $4 for adults over 60. The IMAX shows cost $6 for adults and $5 for children.
