Original place that houses the national auditorium and exhibition rooms in cells in San Jose

This prison, or rather the former San José penitentiary, was transformed into a children's museum in 1994. History, science, society... The place is original and very well rehabilitated. It also houses the national auditorium and exhibition rooms in the cells. In addition to the tour, children shouldn't miss the workshops where they can learn how to build a pre-Columbian house or make Bribrí-style jewelry, although the explanations are obviously given in Spanish... Reservations and tickets: boleteria.museocr.org.

A little disappointed museum. The activities are only in Spanish, difficult to follow for children. Some portage does not function longer (planets, star human body)! On the other hand, the rooms on the ways of life in Costa Rica are very well.
