Traveler Reviews

Excelente! Mucho mejor de lo esperado, el paseo es largo y la historia es MUY interesante. Imprescindible paea ir con niños.

Première partie du parcours, ludique et interactive pour famille, couple ou en solo. Ensuite, embarquez pour une petite balade en bateau autour de l’histoire des conquistadors qui vous semblera presque réelle.

Déjà il n’y avait pas grand monde ce qui nous a permis de faire notre visite à notre rythme, c’était un dimanche de septembre. L’entrée ne paie pas de mine, un petit pont que l’on traverse pour entrer dans le bâtiment, je n’arrêtais pas de dire mais comment une si petite entrée peut contenir tous ce qu’on a vu…ça vaut vraiment le détour si vous êtes fan d’histoire. C’était une expérience incroyable, la reconstitution, les objets…bref tout est fait pour que vous passez un agréable moment et ce fut le cas. Je recommande vivement cette activité

Muchas veces desconocemos la historia por falta de voluntad, no hace falta ser un ilustrado y sesudo raton de biblioteca para conocer algo sobre nuestro pasado. En el world of discoverys, nos acercan a una epoca muy lejana de forma muy visual y agradable sin resultar cansinos y pesados. Me gusta

My husband and I spent about 30-45 minutes visiting the museum, including the boat ride. The boat ride is really the biggest part of the visit, as the beginning portion only takes a few minutes to view the several exhibits. If you are really into history, you may find yourself spending more time navigating through the interactive screens and reading up on some facts. We found the boat ride very interesting and were impressed by all the different displays and special effects. Worth a visit if you are in the area!
