It was nice, put good shoes on. Maybe 2-3 hours is good for a walk and see muss. Unfortunately There is no English introduction in Musa.

Great place to visit, have an informative experience in the jungle without leaving the city limits.

I saw channel-billed toucans, many lizards, and spider monkeys. I almost stepped on a snake who was crossing the paved water drains on the trail near the lake. When I stepped back to avoid it, it ran over the toes of my boots. I saw this snake as I was in the middle of reading a sign warning to stay on the trail because of venomous animals off trail, but this one was on the trail before chilling under the sign as if to be an example of what the sign says. I'm not sure if this one was venomous, but either way I bet that's why they require closed-toe shoes here! That snake would've slithered across all 10 of my toes if it weren't for my hiking boots. On top of the animal encounters, there are also exhibits with animals who were studied and are now kept in glass cages (not sure if they're still being studied). In the spider room, a guide gave information about each spider and spoke decent English. Signs around the trails are in English and Portuguese, but in the exhibits it's only Portuguese. I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasantly surprised! Spent 3 hours here. Only complaint is the trail should be better marked. Nothing indicates what color trail you're on when you're actually on it. Also some of the locations on the map aren't accurate. I didn't find the butterfly house, but that's okay for me because they creep me out. Arrived around 10:30am and it wasn't too crowded. There were a few small groups, but nothing crazy. When I left around 1:30pm, there was a big group of children waiting at the entrance being rowdy. I visited on a Thursday, not sure if the groups are common every day. The reception guy let me use the museum wifi to order an Uber back to the center. Bring binoculars in case of toucan sightings!

Amazing open air museum. You can learn a lot about the cuisine, fauna and flora of the Amazon rainforest. You can also learn a lot about the way natives live. On top of that, there are a couple of hiking trails to explore the place. I recommend it!!

I loved this Museum. It's more a Botanical garden with some expositions in the garden and a nice tower with a view for Manaus city and the Amazonia jungle

Well recommended - to understand a good part of Amazonian fauna & flora. The biodiversity in the Amazon is incredibly huge. Musa gives an understanding of life in Indigenous communities too. The best part is the panoramic view of the Amazon forest (20 mins aprx to climb stairs) Tips: Carry covered shoes if not you will have to rent out boots. Student ID would save you 50% Give a ring in advance, to book a guide (English & Portugues) Estimated time to visit - 3 hours Drinking water available Cafe available (not too many options) Gift shop
