Museo El Rehilete, Interactive science museum in Pachuca, Mexico

Museo El Rehilete is an interactive science museum in central Pachuca with multiple exhibition levels housed in a distinctive polygonal building. The facility features sections dedicated to energy, optics, water science, technology, and astronomical observation.

The museum began operating in 1997 as a public initiative to promote science education. Additional facilities including a planetarium and astronomical observatory were incorporated to expand its offerings.

The museum spaces reflect a focus on hands-on learning and discovery for all ages. People come here to experience science in an interactive way rather than just reading about it.

The museum is organized across multiple levels with different interactive zones that visitors can explore at their own pace. It helps to spend time trying the various stations and demonstrations throughout the facility.

The grounds feature a vintage DC-3 aircraft from the 1950s that visitors can actually walk through and explore. Adjacent to this is a large dinosaur park with various reconstructed prehistoric creatures.

Natural and historical sites in Hidalgo Mexico

Hidalgo state sits northeast of Mexico City, connecting volcanic landscapes with more than two thousand years of human settlement. The region extends from high-altitude pine forests to semi-arid canyons, with geological processes having created basalt columns, cave systems with thermal springs, and marble formations. Colonial monasteries from the 16th century stand alongside mining towns that emerged during the Spanish era, while the archaeological site of Tula served as the capital of the Toltec civilization that preceded the Aztec empire. Visitors can walk among the hexagonal basalt columns at Prismas Basálticos, bathe in the warm pools of Grutas de Tolantongo, or view the stone warrior statues at Atlantes de Tula. Mining towns such as Real del Monte preserve their narrow streets and historic mines, while the Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque, a 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage structure, carried water across distances through a series of tall arches. National parks like El Chico protect mountain forests, the Metztitlán Canyon Reserve hosts desert ecosystems, and Atezca Lake offers views of calm water surrounded by forested hills. The combination of natural variety and centuries of history makes Hidalgo a place where each visit reveals both geology and human adaptation to this demanding environment.
