Tin Marin, Children's Museum, Children's museum in San Salvador, El Salvador
Tin Marin is a children's museum in San Salvador organized into four themed areas focused on health, technology, culture, and environment, each offering hands-on learning experiences. Each section features interactive stations where children can experiment and explore by doing rather than observing.
The museum was established to promote childhood development through interactive education and has become a significant learning center in San Salvador since its opening. It was created to expand educational opportunities for children throughout the country.
The museum takes its name from a traditional Salvadoran children's song, weaving local heritage throughout its spaces and teaching approach. Visitors notice how the exhibits reflect the daily lives and values important to families in the region.
The museum works best when accompanied by children, as it is specifically designed for young learners. An on-site cafe provides a convenient place to rest and refresh between activities.
Children can experiment with gravity using specialized equipment, which deepens their understanding of physical concepts in a playful way. They also have opportunities to make their own paper and participate in guided painting activities.
