Traveler reviews
Dennis Jones
★★★★★4 months agoA strong 5 stars. We were looking for something to do while riding out some rain. A review we read said to allow an hour, but we stayed two. There is a lot of information to read—in both Portuguese and English. There were several interactive exhibits activated by the barcode on our ticket. The museum had free admission the Thursday we visited. Well worth the time to visit.
