Believe it or not, this building in the middle of San Jos�, used to be the city�s prison. Its imposing castle-like style holds an extensive collection of exhibits designed to educate and entertain children of all ages.
 You can experience simulated earthquake, or make music as you step across the floor. Many of the exhibits encourage hands-on play.This museum is located a few blocks North of downtown San Jos�, but it's a good idea to take a cab, since you'd have to walk through the worst part of the red-light district to get there. It's a brilliant option if you have children traveling with you, and even if you don't.
It's open Tuesday thru Friday, from 8:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.
