The lines & crowds were crazy in the afternoon. It cost $70 pesos per person (about $4 USD) and there were employees throughout the museum controlling access to different sections so that it wasn't too crazy within each exhibit. There were a ton of food, craft, and souvenir vendors in the plaza and surrounding streets. A very crowded but fun area to experience.

We took about an hour to visit the inside of Bellas Artes and admire the murals on the upstairs floors. The ticket price for admission (70 pesos) is, perhaps, a bit high but there is no time limit to the visit and there is a cafe and other temporary exhibitions to enjoy. Apart from admiring the Art Deco architecture, the main interest are the Diego Rivera murals which do not disappoint, there is so much detail to enjoy and clues to identify. There and the other murals speak of human history and ‘progress’, including man’s inhumanity to man, but somehow with an optimistic message. Definitely worth seeing as good examples of the Mexican mural tradition. Sadly, the auditorium is not open to visitors, but is worth a visit if you can catch a concert or other event.

There are concerts here in the main auditorium, but even if you don't want to visit for a show, the building itself is well worth seeing. It's an art deco wonder and contains some great artworks. It also contains some that aren't worth bothering about. It costs MPs 70 to visit just the building itself and it's cash only. However, every Sunday, the palace is free to visit for everyone, although this is quite tiring in itself. It will be very busy. You will need to queue to get a free ticket at the box office inside the building, then join the queue for the entrance to the upper floors. On the day I visited, the queue stretched outside the building and around the corner. It took 90 minutes from arrival until I was ascending the stairs. Once at the top of the stairs, there is another line for security and that took 45 minutes. You cannot bring bags inside with you, so leave them in the cloakroom on the ground floor to avoid being sent back after all this lengthy queuing. Once through all this, there is then a queue for whatever exhibition is currently running. That took another 30 minutes. It turned out to be a very boring exhibit about Zapatta in February 2020. The open plan space has all the Diego Rivera murals on multiple floors and there's also an exhibit about the building of the city metro system on the top floor. For a free visit, this was all well worth it. I'm not sure even the very small normal fee charge is. It's the building you come to see, especially if you are a fan of art deco.

Open from 10.00 to 5.00 Tue to Sun, it is free to visit except to visit the museum/ exhibits upstairs for which tickets are available at 70 pesos. This was built right in the heart of the city in 1904-34 as a venue for performances. The famous ballet folklorico de Mexico perform here twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays for which tickets can be purchased during day time at the venue which works out cheaper than online purchase

An iconic building in the heart of Mexico city. Very beautiful architecture and classic decorations inside. At day time you can see how nice is this building and at night you can enjoy the beautiful lightings of it which giving it more beauty.

I think we visited on the wrong day. It was raining so everyone wanted to do something inside so it was packed out and far too crowded to enjoy. It's impressive but we recommend going when it's not raining you'll see more. You won't learn anymore than you will see elsewhere we felt.

So the museum inside here is closed as of August 2021. The price is still the same. You have the ability to walk inside, walk around the atrium on two floors, and then leave. Twenty minutes at a stretch. Best part was observing a museum-goer animatedly speaking to one of the docents trying to ascertain if this really was all that was here and how to most immediately receive their admission price back. We enjoyed the murals and decor, but it definitely wasn't worth the cost.

The exterior of this art museum is magnificent and a must-see in itself. However, as of early October 2021 all of its galleries were closed for viewing except for the murals covering the interior walls of its various floors. This was blamed on COVID , which I still cannot figure out. Nevertheless, the murals in themselves were worth the cost of admission (Mex$75). They were marvelous and included ones by Rivera, Siqueiros, Orozco, Camarena et al. The interior architecture was also very beautiful. Overall, even with the significant closure of the various galleries, I would still recommend a visit.

I was expecting a lot more. All they had when we went was a Zapata exhibit which was just different artists tributes to Zapata, all different styles of painting Zapata. I could care less about it really. They had a little box of dirt which was supposedly from the place Zapata fell when he was shot and it literally had trash in it like pieces of plastic straws and whatnot. They also had some murals that were cool but it only took 6 minutes tops to walk all the way around looking at the murals. They did have a little table where you could make your own linoleum block stamp for free and I thought that was the best part about the whole dang place.

Visited on a weekend as part of the things we wanted to see while at the park. It was a beautiful castle and very well-maintained. Spent about 20 minutes here. Each room is filled with artifacts from the area that it was built. Be prepared to have your bags searched. They allow absolutely no food or snacks and we’re taking everybody’s that wanted to enter. Know that if you’re over 60 you can get in for free even if you’re not a Mexican citizen.
