Went with my bf and we lucked out with Antonio as our guide. He kept us laughing the whole time, even when my partner zoned out near the end (it’s a LOT to see, not gonna lie). Kinda wish we wore comfier shoes, but the tour was totally worth it. Loved the Aztec stuff, and Antonio’s stories made it all come alive. Also, pro-tip: get there early if u wanna avoid school groups. The audio things didn’t always work great but didn’t ruin it. Would def go again, maybe bring a snack next time!

Was here solo on a rainy weekday. The museum itself is HUGE (seriously, I got lost twice), and my guide Nadia covered so much. She knew her stuff and didn’t rush us even tho some folks asked a million questions. Only minus was it got a bit crowded after noon and I couldn’t always see the exhibits up close. Still, learned a ton about Mexico’s roots. Would recommend, esp for history nerds.

Absolutely LOVED our visit! Our guide Roberto was so enthusiastic and knew all the wildest facts—I never thought I’d be so into ancient pottery lol. He even pointed out the best spots for photos. We went as a family (kids 12 and 8) and he kept them entertained too. Museum is massive so having a guide was perfect. Watch out for slippery floors in the main hall!

    I was truly ignorant of the number of cultures that existed in prehispanic Mexico. I knew only of the Aztec and the Mayan cultures and nothing of the several others from different parts of Mexico. This trip to the Museum has opened my eyes to the history of this fascinating country.

    Went with my mom and we both enjoyed it. Nadia was our guide and she kept it interesting for both of us, even though my mom isn’t into museums normally. It was crowded in the afternoon, recommend early tours if u hate crowds. Also, wear comfy shoes, it’s a LOT of walking.

  • Getting started

    With your skip-the-line ticket, bypass the queues at the entrance and walk directly into the museum through the dedicated access point. Your official ticket will be sent via email or WhatsApp.

    What to expect

    This is Mexico’s most important cultural institution. The museum houses over 20 permanent exhibit halls filled with artifacts from pre-Hispanic civilizations. You'll see massive Olmec heads, Mayan tombs, Mixtec codices, and iconic displays like the Stone of the Sun. The open-air courtyards and architectural design reflect Indigenous worldviews and are an experience in themselves.

    Go beyond self-guided discovery with a 5-hour expert-led tour of both the Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Castle. Available in English or Spanish, this immersive experience includes entry tickets to both landmarks and begins at the museum’s main entrance at 8:50am. Perfect if you want historical context and seamless access to two of Mexico City’s cultural icons.

    Features

    • Stone of the Sun: One of the most famous Aztec artifacts ever unearthed.

    • Mayan and Toltec rooms: Replicas of tombs, temples, and sacred artifacts.

    • Bilingual signage: Most major exhibits offer English translations.

    • Self-paced experience: Stay as long as you want and explore at your own rhythm.
