The Children's Museum of Guatemala

The Children's Museum of Guatemala is an educational space in the capital city featuring more than 40 hands-on exhibits about science, nature, and society. Staff members guide small groups through the displays, explaining how things work and how people live in different settings.

The museum is located in a city that became Guatemala's capital in 1776, replacing the earlier colonial center of Antigua. The site near La Aurora Zoo connects the learning space with a historic recreation area that has served the community for generations.

Kids learn about Guatemala's geography and farming through hands-on displays that show how people live and work across the country. The exhibits help them understand local traditions and daily routines in an interactive way.

The space is open Tuesday through Friday with morning and afternoon sessions, while weekend hours are longer for visitors. It works best to plan which exhibits you want to see and allow time for group tours, as staff guide visitors through the displays.

Children can try out different careers at special stations, such as working as an astronaut or shopping in a miniature supermarket. These role-playing activities help kids explore their abilities and discover new interests.
