Museo Del Mar, Maldonado

This museum was AWESOME! Great for kids and adults. There are 4 museums included in the ticket, I loved them all, and my boyfriend who isn't a huge museum person really loved the museum of memories, which shows old packaging and memorabilia from the country/area. It was 250 pesos per person which I found good value, there is a great deal of information and specims on show. We are English speakers and whilst most of the explanations were in Spanish, the highlights had English explanations too. There is free WiFi so we could Google translate anything else we wanted.

Our expectations were high for this place. When we got there, though, we learned that what they do there was far beyond what we even thought was possible. The collection of sea relics they have there is astonishing. There is also an insectary, which is impressive. Other than that, the staff is very kind and the dogs that warmly welcomed us upon our arrival made the experience even more especial. I strong recommend paying the museum a visit.
