The Trompo Interactive Museum, Science museum in Parque Morelos, Tijuana, Mexico
El Trompo Interactive Museum is a science museum in Parque Morelos, Tijuana, built in 2008 to a design by architect Francisco López Guerra. It has six interactive rooms named Integra, Explica, Experimenta, Genera, Educa and Valora, plus a projection room, a multipurpose room and the Audiorama. Its approach draws on free and meaningful learning theories.
The nonprofit association Museo Interactivo Tijuana A.C. was legally constituted on 8 January 1998, after a December 1997 meeting proposed names such as Museo Feliz and Canicas. In May 2007 it signed an agreement with Papalote, Museo del Niño, which drew up the master plan. The building by architect Francisco López Guerra opened on 9 December 2008.
Schools in the region regularly bring groups of students here to take part in hands-on experiments and exploration. This approach turns abstract scientific ideas into something students can directly experience and understand through their own actions.
Plan to spend enough time exploring and experimenting rather than rushing through, as the museum is designed for hands-on engagement. Each of the themed areas requires different amounts of time to fully experience, so adjust your visit length based on what interests you most.
The Audiorama, part of the museum complex, holds concerts for up to 7,500 people, with a numbered section at the front and an esplanade behind. Artists such as Ha*Ash, Yuridia, Reik, Camila and Ángela Aguilar have performed there, and it hosts the concerts of the Feria Tijuana, formerly called Teatro del Pueblo and now "Audiorama de las Estrellas".
