Parque Explora

Hands-on science museum with South America's largest freshwater aquarium

Address Carrera 52 No. 73-75

A red-clad block of interactive science museum on the north side of the city, next to the Jardín Botánico. Hands-on physics, dinosaurs, a 3D cinema, a vivarium with Colombian reptiles, and a freshwater aquarium devoted to Amazon and Orinoco basin species — the largest in South America. Built deliberately for families and packed at weekends; quieter on weekday mornings.

Buy the combined ticket with the Aquarium and Vivarium; budget two hours minimum.
