Naval Museum Secretary of the Navy of Mexico

Larger than I expected. Two floors have enough content for about 40 minutes. Air conditioning is lacking except for one spot on the first floor, it is bearable though. The history could have been told more fluidly from one poster and section to the next. If you have no background of Mexican history it can be hard to follow/ put together. I left with much more knowledge but also more questions about how the historical events displayed happened to come about and transitioned to the next. It is essentially free to visit though so I would recommend. When we visited recently the simulator was not operational.

Great little museum which showcases Mexico's naval history from precolonial to the modern era. The air conditioning makes for a nice escape from the heat and the museum costs 45 pesos per person with discounts for students, children, military personnel. The cafe also has AC and is free for entry and Jamaica or hibiscus fresca is only 20 pesos. Loved that. Definitely check this place out of you have the chance!

Beautiful. Not too big or detailed m but it has a life size simulator of a naval patron and it's awesome. You get to take in and out of port a navy vessel under whatever weather conditions you want, day or night. There's also a nice cafe with wifi. Highly recommended.

These photos from the Malecón Just outside the Navy museum. A good place to watch the sunset.

Wednesdays 6 pm to 10 pm sunset inexpensive drinks and snacks with Javier Axel trovador.

This is my favorite local Museum. I discovered many facts about Mexican history including details about the trade development with the Philippines.

The models are very detailed. I enjoyed piloting the ship in the large simulator on the second floor.

The staff are very proud of their work.

The coffee shop is excellent and quiet. Oddly enough it opens at 9 even though the museum only opens at 11.

Free on Wednesday. Otherwise cheap enough at 45 pesos.

Sadly there is no view of the boardwalk or the Bay from the second floor.

Very interesting and a good place to spend 1-2 hours learning some history.
