The Meteorite Museum gives Progreso a story bigger than its beach. Its exhibits focus on the Chicxulub impact, the asteroid strike that landed near this coast about 66 million years ago and helped trigger a mass extinction.
The presentation is family-friendly and sometimes theatrical, with fossils, videos, and dinosaur displays. It is still worth the stop because the geography is real: you are standing near one of the most consequential impact sites on Earth.
