If you love museums and ancient Mexican culture, this is a must visit place to you. This is a beautiful place full of hundred of diverse pieces, very well kept and protected. The most famous pieces are the giant heads found in Veracruz state. Museum is very well designed, with good illumination and enough space to walk and enjoy the collection. It is also a very quiet place with very few visitors. Despite of you can download a museum guide app for free for your mobile phone, I strongly suggest you to pay for guide service. Those guys know in deep each piece and connections among them. You can enjoy this service for a very affordable price. My 11 years son enjoyed Nestor explanations and he had the chance to ask him many questions. Guide services are available in Spanish, English and French. If your are carrying your professional camera, you have to pay an admission fee to use it. Thanks Nestor for your marvelous explanations and for allow us traveling in the past with those cultures!

Large enough to spend the afternoon, small enough to jot get lost. Water and flowers everywhere! Bridges, animals, life. We loved this park, definitely one of Xalapa's highlights. Hope to return one of these days.
