The fun and hands-on displays at Childrens Museum will keep the kids entertained for hours. With so many things to engage young minds here, they won't even know they're learning!

Childrens Museum charges admission, so grab some cash and head on over to the riverside district of Merced. Where to next after the interactive exhibit for kids? National Park, Museum of Costa Rican Art and National Theater are some nearby attractions worth a visit if you've still got time.

8.6/10 Excellent! (37 reviews)

I absolutely loved this property. It’s very small and quaint but the views of the volcano are amazing. I love the bathtub with the window looking at the volcano. The dirt road to drive there is a little sketchy being that I’m a woman by myself and did not have a four-wheel-drive, but I made it. There’s no food on the property, but there is a resort next-door that I walked to and it was great. It is advisable to get food or drinks on your way to the hotel, there isn’t much within a 20 minute or so drive. I would definitely stay here again!
