My husband and I enjoyed learning about Ensenada and Baja Norte history on our visit here. They helpfully provided booklets of the display signs translated into english that we could carry with us throughout them museum. There were several families also moving through the displays with us and the kids really seemed to enjoy it! Does not take long to move through each of the displays, probably about an hour. There are also lovely gardens to stroll through. In the same building is a beautiful old bar with intricate floor tiling and very friendly bartenders! Would recommend as a fun, informative stop during your time in Ensenada

I have visited this museum at least once a year in the 8 years I have been coming to La Paz. It keeps improving with every visit! In the most recent visit, today, I was delighted that they have seen fit to hire English-speaking docents for each floor of the 4 level museum. These enthusiastic and knowledgeable young people make the history of Baja California Sur come alive for me, as I have always found it a struggle to comprehend the Spanish-only signage. The first level houses a temporary exhibit, this time featuring a fine multi-media presentation of life at the San Francisco ranch, a remote ejido located near the great mural paintings of Sierra San Francisco. The other three levels exhibit Baja Sur's prehistory to present-day statehood. Thanks to the guides, I learned so much more of the Baja story. Well worth the time and the tiny entrance fee. I also noticed the addition of a stair rider for wheelchair accessibility. Good for you!

It is a nice museum. Worth the visit. Good for kids and families. There's no foodcourt so I recommend you to take some snacks.
