They don’t allow water. Many museums do not allow water, but they will hold it for you. These people will not do that. Mexico City is at a high altitude and you need water. I went in while my wife had to wait outside to hold the water. I found that most of the good stuff could be viewed from the terrace which you can go on for free. I recommend you pass up paying admission to go see this place unless you are really really interested in Mayan history.

Don't bring water or gum, you'll have to toss it in the trash. It is very hot so bring a hat on and good shoes, so much to see, outside is very hot but inside the museum is very nice and cool.

Its an archeological site that is worth the price (4USD) and it is very historical! Discovered in 1978 the Templo Mayor was then opened to the public and we are able to see history within our reach. It's a must see in Mexico City and you must read everything to learn about the history of the site.

Fascinating place and history. To think Mexico is built right atop of the original city only a few meters above it! LOTS of well preserved artifacts - any one of which would be prized by any museum.

Interesting large museum with plenty of items from pre-Spanish history. Some items only have Spanish description, but no English. Nice outside area to see the remains of temple. Fair price of $85 MXN.

This place is huge but it's a must if you're in CDMX. This is the spot where the grandest Aztec temple stood. A temple that kept expanding with each new emperor. It boasts an outdoor exhibition where you see the ruins, but there's also a huge indoors space describing Aztec culture, artefacts, and what happened with the temple after the Spanish conquest. Super informative, you'll spend at least 2 hours here.

This is great museum in Mexico City, if one is downtown this is a must visit for Mexicans and foreigners. The museum has nice facilities and a very well (dated sequence) planed path to understand ancient Mexican history. This museum is not as big as the "Antropología" one (also) in Mexico City. So "Templo Mayor Museum" can be completed in one morning.
