Audio Guide of Desert Museum

The Desert Museum in Saltillo is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays. You can buy your tickets directly at the museum ticket office when you visit. For more details, I recommend visiting its official website.

General admission is around MXN 180 for adults. Yes, they usually offer special prices for children, students with valid ID, teachers, and seniors with an INAPAM card. It is a good idea to check directly at the ticket office or in the pricing section on the official website for the most up-to-date information on rates and discounts.

To fully enjoy all the halls, exhibitions, and walkways, I recommend setting aside 3 to 4 hours. It is a large and very interactive museum, so you will want to take your time to appreciate every detail and learn about the richness of the desert.

The Desert Museum is unique because it not only showcases the paleontological and biological richness of the Chihuahuan Desert, but also promotes its conservation. It is a space for learning and awareness that allows you to understand the evolution of life in the desert, from dinosaurs to present-day species, and its relevance to the planet.

Generally, visiting the museum during the week, from Tuesday to Thursday, early in the morning at 10:00 AM or later in the afternoon, is ideal for avoiding crowds. As for the time of year, any time is good since much of the museum is indoors, but the less intensely hot months, autumn and winter, may be more pleasant if you plan to spend time in the outdoor areas.

Yes, the Desert Museum is designed to be inclusive. It has ramps and elevators that make all halls and exhibitions accessible. If you have any specific needs, I suggest contacting the museum directly at +52 844 489 8033 to arrange any additional support you may require.

Saltillo has a lot to offer! Very close to the museum, you can visit Las Maravillas Park, ideal for families. Also, Saltillo's historic center, with its impressive Cathedral and the Museum of Mexican Birds, is just a short drive away. You can find more options on the official Saltillo tourism website.

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, since you will do quite a bit of walking. If you are visiting with children, look for the interactive activities and the areas dedicated to them. Do not forget your camera, there are many opportunities for amazing photos! And of course, be respectful of the museum rules to help preserve this valuable natural and cultural heritage.
