Museo Tin Marin, Children's museum in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Museo Tin Marin is a children's museum in San Salvador offering interactive spaces where young visitors explore science, the environment, culture, and creative expression. The exhibitions encourage learning through hands-on activities and direct engagement with the displayed materials.
The museum opened in 1999 as a dedicated educational space for children to learn through interactive experiences. This founding created an important venue for hands-on discovery in the city.
The name comes from a traditional Salvadoran children's song, weaving local culture into its educational purpose. Visitors notice how this connection to regional heritage shapes the way learning activities are presented throughout the building.
The museum is located in central San Salvador and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday during morning and afternoon hours. Plan to spend several hours exploring the different exhibition areas and trying out the various hands-on activities.
Each exhibition area contains specialized equipment that allows children to conduct their own experiments independently. This setup lets young visitors work as scientists and makers, learning through personal discovery rather than instruction alone.
