This was the best children's museum we have ever been too. It is huge and there is so much to do and explore. My family and I loved all of it and the staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share information about their area.
Great place to kill some time with the kids. Lots of interaction with different areas for the world around us!! They even had Prairie Dogs and an underground observation sphere to see them close from! Been to lots of others in US and this is a great spot, just needs some upkeep for a few exhibits like solar car, water station and others. The snack / cafe area was nice to for nachos,chips coffee and drinks.
This is a family friendly fun learning museum full of learning activities for children. Very clean and organized. The staff is amazingly helpful and very interactive with children. My favorite part by far was the science experiments.
This is a great location for the whole family. You can easily spend 3-4 hours here and it will fly by with the kids. I have come to this place with the family for a few years now and I am impressed how well maintained it has remained. It is clean and organized. I like the party/event location that they have built. We were disappointed that the gift shop was smaller though with no good options. WiFi is spotty but you should be having fun anyways.
It was pretty good and fun the staff members were helpful and friendly, it is mainly for going with children they have a lot of fun stuff and games, as well as recreational activities.
Great place for kids and families. I came here on a visit to Juarez. I paid about $31 USD for 3 adults and 1 child. I paid with a US Visa card and it worked no problem. The museum is very clean, modern, and up to date. Employees are friendly and knowledgeable about science. I mainly spoke Spanish but some do seem to speak English. You will still enjoy even if you don’t speak Spanish, most of the signage is in both languages. Note: you can’t bring backpacks inside, but you can leave then at the paqueteria up front. The food court is good, lots of choices. It’s 3 different restaurants: a candy/snacks shop, a cafè, and a deli/grill. They take credit cards there as well. You could easily stay several hours here, we stayed about 2 hours. My 5 year old had a lot of fun and enjoyed herself.
Nice spot to visit! So much to do. Including making your own news special. Going through this museum could take all day if you try it all. We went on a week day so there was no waiting on anything. So informative and they make it all fun! Didn't try the food court but I did see that there was a Barrigas in there. Yay!
Took 41+ hour to get here from Malaysia. This place is huge and has many activities to do with your friends. It's a great experience, absolutely!

Massive red X at Plaza de la Mexicanidad by lauded sculptor Sebastián symbolizing Mexican culture.
Slide 1 of 8
Our Uber driver took us here. He said it was an open park & visitors can walk around. We did & did notice the Mexican police watching us, which made us feel safe. Though there were no events going on, it was a fun building to see.
It’s nice to walk around and when there are events they really know how to make it seem huge, the art piece “X” is a huge red X that stands by the border of El Paso TX and our beloved Cuidad Juárez, they need to add some more character to the surrounding area so it won’t look so plain…
They had a fun carnival. I've yet to experience much of it during the day. Fun fact: I've been told on a tour the X represents the the cross roads of Mexico's past including Spain (the finished line) and it's future (the unfinished line).
We came here during the expo feria. It was really packed, so if you visit during a regular day i dont know how it is. The "x" monument is pretty cool.
Came when closed but they held a free concert at its base. Pretty cool.
Nice place used for different massive events, in this case, The Gas natural de Juarez Internacional marathon
Very interesting structure. Is especially nice at night when illuminated.

I remember it as Moyland, but those are memories of long gone times. My score is in honour of that, idk how they're faring now. Good place for kid's parties I guess.
Sanborns has really good food and affordable prices, the pan de dulce is delicious as well! I just didn't like the service from two of the waiters. These two guys were too slow and it seems that they want a lot of dollars as a tip for them to serve you with efficiency which is wrong. Besides these two lazy men is OK.
A bit preppy for my taste. But a good place to bring kids.
Overall great mall. A place to be while you wait for your Visa process. Nice, clean, professional people. Many delicious food options.
Kids will have fun but many games are not working properly and not enough staff for you to use all the rides efficiently.
A nice, clean mall. Great for shopping. Had a small food court.
Great place everything was amazing
That's a nice place you can find little bit of everything

Wonderful historical site, and a peaceful one as well. The wood there is from the 16th hundreds! My brother got married there and it was a wonderful celebration of their love in the foundations of the city.
Great place to visit if you are in the area!
Beautiful church in the middle of downtown Juarez. One side of the church is traditional and humble and the main part of the church is modern inside. Very beautiful exterior.. It is surrounded by shops and vendors. Lots of police around so its safe just be aware of your surroundings.
The Cathedral is relatively new and so far, more modern styled. Worth to see as one of the very less tourists spots in CDJ. I personally more liked the smaller old Chappell left from the Cathedral.
It looks scary with all the gates but it nice, well keep, but if you're looking for flowers to leave at the altar you might need to look for those before going there, i couldn't find anyone selling flowers, i was told there weren't any flower shops around, they also have a little store with everything you might need for your first communion and all the other religious events, it's to the left of the main entrance, kinda hard to see because of all the gates, everyone was nice and helpful.
Really nice historical place
I've been to Mass a few times and have enjoyed the experience: good music, full church. I buy religious books and materials at their adjacent shop.
Cool place to stop. Its also known as Our Lady Guadalupe Cathederal and is connected directly to the Franciscan Mission that was built in the 1700s. The plaza has lots of life with a flee market and tons of street performers. I thought the posters with old photos of the misdion were cool as well. They even have live music and a clown show there for entertainment. I don't know if its akways like that or if it was just because it was a weekend or Cinco De Mayo when we went.

Museum in 19th-century customs building covering the history of Juarez & the Mexican Revolution.
Slide 1 of 8
Nice place just got to be careful of bad people. Stuff is cheaper in Mexico and the food is good.
This museum, which once served as the customs building is a great venue to visit. The building itself, which looks very similar now to the pictures from esrly 1900's has withstood the testimate of time. The museum is well designed taking the visitors from to room around the buildings perimeter. The majority of the items for view have both Español and English descriptions. Nearby parking seems adequate, and it's free to enter. Do not bring any drinks inside as you cannot take them past the front reception area. No flash when using cameras! Overall, really liked this museum and will definitely come back.
If you're visiting Ciudad Juárez in México, you must visit this museum full of beautiful art and the city's history.
Free museum located on grounds of old Customs building which played a major role in Porfirio Diaz/William H. Taft meeting & Pancho Villa/Pascual Orozco victory in Battle of Ciudad Juarez. Impressive room-sized diorama of Juarez & El Paso. Exhibits focused on Mexican Revolution 1910-1915. Main highlight is mural of Constitutionalist victory march after Villa/Orozco triumph in 1911. This museum alone is worth crossing from El Paso.
Great place to come learn the history of the border between El Paso USA and Juárez México. So much to see and learn. Awesome artifacts. Educational videos in the various rooms and lectures available every few hours. Entrance is free, they accept donations if you are so inclined. They entrance to the museum is around the back, they have a metal detector at the entrance. Nice clean bathrooms.
Not good vibes. We return back to the hotel. We were scare of leaving the car in parking lot uncomfortable because homeless or people in the streets not looking normal.
A complete collection of Pancho Villa's revolution journey. The period 1913–1914 was the time of Villa's greatest international fame and military and political success. Villa's string of victories since the beginning of the Mexican Revolution was instrumental in bringing the downfall of Porfirio Díaz, the victory of Francisco Madero, and the ouster of Victoriano Huerta. He remains a heroic figure for many Mexicans. He's more than just a politician, but a business owner, also a guy who knows how to "boardcast" himself like nowadays internet sensations.
Ciudad juarez it's a beautiful city but needs more cleaning the hole church surroundings smells like pee because of the ppl . mexican government do better. I mean it 🤷

A very large and beautiful park, but very neglected (dry areas and a lot of garbage).
Awesome and historic park, highly recommended. Visit the museum.
It's a very nice park... I think that more benches and more green grass would be great. I have spent so good moments here with family and friends.
It was fun it was a family event and i recomend it bring your dogs to train them on basic levels
Awesome place to check out all though everything is replica still a good family outing
The best public Park and the last of the none capitalized parks in mi town
It's Juárez's most iconic and important park, it is right on the boundary with El Paso Tx so it's a popular site for people on both sides of the border
Didn’t really come here but it feels like I did since I was at this spot forever waiting to cross the international border. I remember coming o the Chamizal and a kid and I loved it. I can still hear the chicharras singing.
