Papalote Museum, Monterrey, Interactive children's museum in Monterrey, Mexico.
Papalote Museum is a children's space in Monterrey with five thematic zones covering the human body, Mexican nature, family and home, city life, and an ideas laboratory. The exhibits are designed mainly for hands-on learning and exploration.
The museum opened in Monterrey in 2010 as part of a network aimed at providing children with learning opportunities. It was one of the first spaces in the city designed specifically for young visitors.
The museum explores how family, community, and nature connect through hands-on displays that help children understand their world. Visitors can see how people live together and what role the environment plays in daily life.
The venue is easy to reach by car or public transportation and has adequate parking for families. Weekdays typically offer a less crowded experience compared to weekends and holidays.
The museum features a digital dome called Domodigital Citibanamex where animations and interactive projections run. A character named Elon, an engineering hamster, guides children through science concepts and technology.
