The museum is absolutely worth visiting---great exhibits. The restaurant is decent but with a great view

You must see the controler and the simulator. The movie is mostlikely interesting when you see it at the end that way you enjoy better the museum.

interactive, educative, fascinating displays. Excellent views of the tankers and boats going through the locks. Great fun

This museum is a nice, air-conditioned retreat from the heat of Panama City and Casco Viejo. The building is pretty with a beautiful, wooden central stairway. They have nice bathrooms. At the entrance is a very interesting old light house lens as big as a Volkswagen. The canal history part of the museum is a fairly extensive portrayal in pictures,... More

First, I believe the pictures currently linked on this site to this Canal Museum are mostly wrong. This museum is located in an old historic building in Old City (Casco Viejo), not on the canal. You do not see water here or the actual ships. Having said that, the museum is a real charmer. We did find enough English information... More

Seeing the artifacts, and exhibits really enhanced our canal experience. My only regret is we really didn't have enough time to view and absorb everything due to our tour schedule.

Either if you are an civil engineer, other technical professions or just a tourist wishing to know more about PAnama Channel, you can´t loose this Museum. Children, young or just for pleasure, you´ll know a lot about the Channel, how it was built and how it works.

See the Miraflores Locks Visitor Center instead and learn about the canal there. This museum goes into the canal's history in greater detail, all in Spanish. The building is beautiful. If you happen to be in Casco Viejo, consider stopping in for a visit; but again, if you're short for time, skip it.

Enjoyed the museum but all the signs are in Spanish. I did have the English audio guide but not all of the info on the wall was covered.
