Nice center. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The museum part had some interesting things to look at. There were no huts, which I really wanted to see, but the ruins were there and they were neat. It's hard to imagine what it used to look like hundreds of years ago. The center and museum were free

When we got to the Center, we were directed to visit the museum first. They had a temporary exhibition (until November 2023) about tainos in America and their permanent collection about tainos in Puerto Rico. Both collections had lots of artifacts and bilingual (English/Spanish) placards that explained all about the people that lived in, and used, the area. There was no guide, (well, a stray dog show us the road) so we just walked out to the ball fields by ourselves. After crossing a bridge, we walk along a path that they called a botanic garden where they are growing the trees that the tainos used for food, shelter, canoes and all sorts of other purposes. In the archeological area you can you’ll be able to view 2 ceremonial plazas and 7 ball fields. I didn’t see any gift shop or snack bar. Restrooms were out of service. I would suggest sunscreen, bug spray, and water (It’s veeeery hot) when you go out on the field. Admission was free of charge.

We spent a pleasant hour here. There's a small museum with two rooms, one of which had clearly not been updated in years. And there's an archeological site and botanical garden with very little signage. If you're looking to spend time while in Ponce, it's worth a free visit. And there's plenty of parking.

The Tibes museum was free! We were able to explore at our leisure and the original excavated artifacts were fascinating! presentation of re-created pre-Taino & Taino culture was done beautifully and with much respect. The grounds were kept very clean, and I especially loved the natural botanical gardens, explaining the flora which the indigenous peoples used in so many ways. highly recommend ((remember to bring bug spray.))
