Chiminike Children's Museum
Chiminike
An interactive children's science museum in the south of the city, with hands-on exhibits on the body, cities and science, and a top choice for families.
Chiminike is Honduras's first interactive children's museum. Its galleries cover the human body, where children can walk through a giant body; a simulated city with career experiences; science experiments; and the environment and geography. Guides lead children through hands-on activities. It suits children aged 4 to 12, and accompanying adults usually spend 2 to 3 hours there. It is near Boulevard Fuerzas Armadas in the south of the city, so a taxi is the best way to get there. The museum is closed on Mondays, and children's and adult admission prices differ.
Opening hours
