Parque Museo La Venta

I was visiting from the US and my friends wanted to take me here. It’s beautiful, for sure. I really like that it has the combination of being a museum AND a zoo! Mostly common zoo animals, but it’s still neat. I really enjoyed the bird area that you can walk into. The big head statues are awesome. The ONLY downfall is the amount of mosquitoes is torturous! Be prepared for that, bring plenty of bug spray/repellent because you will for sure be eaten alive by mosquitoes if not. We had bug spray and were still getting attacked haha.

Super excellent little history museum. As others have mentioned, skip the zoo. :( if you go up to the left you can just do the archeology part, the Olmec heads are of course very famous!

A must do while you’re in Villa! There are massive Olmec stones with carvings. The museum was super informative, but also very quick to explore! It took about an hour and 20 mins to explore and read everything.There is also a mini zoo with all kinds of animals! Only 53 pesos for foreigners.

Nice park with small zoo and Olmec archeological monuments. Like a jungle in the city.

Nice experience but the animal enclosures were not very well kept. My animal lover kids were very concerned. We were not aware of the zoo and we were just fine without the zoo part. Very hot and humid but fun to see the archeological monuments.
