“Desperate times...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 5, 2012

If it hadn't been raining, I definitely would not have taken my son here. It's expensive and there really isn't anything to do once inside. It's tiny. More

Not your expected 5 story kids museum, but afterall it is a 5 story kids museum. There is an entrance fee. Be prepare to spend a good 1-2 hours. After all, kids dont care if it is fancy or not, they just love to play. A good place to visit to catch up and rest after all the walking on... More

“A good time for the kids out of the heat”

person found this review helpful

After several days of "grown-up" activities like shopping and looking and the wonderful historical sights in Old San Juan, our kids (8 and 4) had a great time at Museo del Nino. We spent a good 2 hours here on a hot day. Previous comments (positive and negative) were correct. The museum was a bit small and the staff was... More

“Terrible, Don't go”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2012

My 5 year old and I went to see this museum after New Years. We expected an interactive experience. We have visited other kids museums and my daughter likes exploring the hands on exhibits that we'd seen elsewhere. She is a pretty calm kid and plays well with other kids. This place is tiny. If there are more than a... More

“FABULOUSE museum to enjoy with your kids and TOUCH everything!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2012

This is a kids museum located in the heart of Old San Juan. Right in front of the museum there is a "public plaza" or square. When you enter the museum they instruct the kids TO TOUCH EVERYTHING. Can you imagine how amazing it is to go to a museum and be able to touch everything??? They have different exhibitions... More

“Gem of a Museum, Worth a Stop!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2012

We were excited to tour Old San Juan but I worried that with a 10 and 6 year old, all of the history was going to get boring quickly...So right across from one of the Cathedrals is this little children's museum. It costs a bit to get in (I'm thinking we paid around $25-30 for four of us) but if... More
