Bebeleche, Museo Interactivo de Durango

If you're looking for a place where science meets play, the Bebeleche Interactive Museum in the city of Durango is the perfect stop for your itinerary. It’s a modern educational center that turns exploring the world into an exciting adventure for any family traveling through Mexico.

Inside the museum, there are more than 100 interactive exhibits spread across five thematic halls: from exploring physics and technology in the "Conocer" zone to creative workshops in the "Crear" hall. Here, you can learn everything about the human body, everyday life, and even play to your heart's content in specially equipped areas. The museum is famous for its friendly approach and its commitment to sparking curiosity in every visitor.

In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the complex features a modern 3D cinema, an outdoor terrace cafe, and large playgrounds for the little ones. Ratings and reviews confirm: it is one of the state's most popular attractions, offering high-quality leisure and vivid impressions.

For more information about special events or group ticket prices, you can use the museum's official contact channels.

The main rule of this museum is "touching everything is allowed!". Visitors can feel like real scientists in the "Conocer" hall by conducting physics and chemistry experiments. In the "Crecer" zone, you'll learn how your body works, and in the "Crear" hall, you can create your own work of art under the guidance of experienced mentors.

Children are especially thrilled by the zones with animatronic dinosaurs and massive climbing structures. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, there are 3D projections and temporary exhibitions dedicated to culture and high technology. Amateur photographers will appreciate the bright and creative photo zones, which are perfect for family shots.

If you're planning a visit, try to choose weekdays, when the flow of visitors is smaller, so you can calmly try out each of the hundred exhibits. Be sure to stop by the gift shop to pick up educational games or unique local crafts as souvenirs.

The museum is located at Lic. Armando del Castillo Franco Km 1.5, within the picturesque Sahuatoba Park. This location is in the Lomas del Parque district, very close to the city center, making it easily accessible for travelers.

The most comfortable way to get there is by taking a taxi from the city center; the ride takes only about 10–15 minutes. If you prefer public transport, city buses regularly run toward the Lomas del Parque area, though it's best to confirm the current route with hotel staff or locals.

For those traveling by rental car, convenient parking is available. The route follows Armando del Castillo Franco Boulevard. Since it's located in a park area, you can combine your museum visit with a pleasant walk in the fresh air.

The history of this place began relatively recently—the modern interactive center was officially opened in 2009. The project was initiated by the state government of Durango, which sought to create an innovative platform for popularizing knowledge among the younger generation.

Despite not having a centuries-old history, Bebeleche quickly became one of the most significant cultural sites that Mexico is proud of. Its name refers to a popular children's game (similar to "hopscotch"), emphasizing the institution's main philosophy—learning through play.

Over the years, the museum has constantly evolved, implementing new technologies and opening temporary exhibitions dedicated to the latest scientific discoveries. Today, it is recognized as a key regional attraction where modern educational methods blend harmoniously with national flavor.

To fully enjoy all the museum's features and walk through the five thematic halls at a relaxed pace, visitors are recommended to allocate between 3 and 5 hours. This is enough time to participate in experiments, watch a film, and have a snack at the cafe.

For families planning a visit with small children, it's better to set aside half a day, as the play areas and interactive exhibits usually capture the attention of young explorers for a long time. If you are limited on time, focus on the "Conocer" and "Crecer" halls, which are considered the most spectacular.

The museum welcomes guests throughout the week, except for Mondays, when maintenance work is carried out.

The operating schedule is as follows: Tuesday – Thursday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM; Friday is a shortened day, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM; on Saturday and Sunday, the doors are open from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It is recommended to arrive a few hours before closing to have time to see all the exhibitions.

After an eventful day at the museum, you can continue exploring the city by visiting interesting sites nearby. The surroundings of Sahuatoba Park offer both active entertainment and cultural attractions.
