    This is a top place to visit and is in the more relaxed area in Coyoacán. You have to buy tickets…read moreahead of time online and weeks or months ahead. There is no ticket booth and we saw people come and ask for same day tickets and they were turned away. The house is a nice place with a garden along with Fridas art and memorabilia. I didn't know much about her other than she was an artist. They explain a lot and I learned that she had a German father. Put this on your list when you visit Mexico City. But your tickets directly from the official website they are much cheaper than the third party tickets.

    An excellent, educational, understandably crowded monument to a great talent, cut down too soon. I…read moredidn't know much at all about Frida Kahlo until preparing to visit. Tickets are for timed entry and there are many discounts so purchase ahead. There are 2 buildings (house and museum) as well as a courtyard, cafe and shop. Free, well maintained restrooms (bring a coin to tip). Because of the crowds (10:45a ticket on a Thursday), it's a bit difficult to take in everything that is included in each room. Her Art, (as well as some by others about her), diaries, letters, household and art collection as well as some videos are included and well notated. The second building, labeled as Dresses, contained much more. Definitely recommend. Really stars for content but I think it's oversold.

    MUCHO. Museo del Chocolate - The fire under the stone makes the magic happen. Try it both with milk and then with water.

    Who doesn't love chocolate? When walking around Juarez, Mexico City, we made it a point to make a…read morestop at this museum to learn about chocolate and the cultural importance and relevance of cacao. We got to taste a roasted cacao bean at the entrance. We read quite a bit about cacao in Mexican culture, and I watched some people grind cacao beans into a paste. Staff was friendly and, despite not being able to communicate with us easily, they tried to show things along the way. Most of our experience was with reading what we could at each room. It was cool to see some artifacts that were used to grind cacao. Cost was 85 pesos (~$6), which isn't bad. Wish there could have been more things to taste and beans to grind; however, I feel happy to know a little bit more about chocolate

    It is not a huge place. If you have a guide that will help you through the displays if your Spanish…read moreisn't that good. Otherwise, the museum is worth a walk through but to me the main event was to make your own chocolate. I am not sure how to get this set up to be part of your experience since it was prearranged by the person guiding us. Find out in advance, so you will not be disappointed! By using the Metate, the concave curved stone slab used by the Aztecs to grind shelled cacao beans to paste, you take the roasted beans and some sugar through the process of making chocolate. Yes, it is pretty much that simple when it comes to the ingredients. However, the labor needed to make the magic happen might be more than expected. The people there will help guide you in technique, but it really comes down to your time and effort to make it happen. The end result is a paste I would have liked to take home with me. However, the way they had you end the experience there was to mix it with either milk or water to drink it. Yes, the milk, at least for me, is better tasting, but since this is probably something you are ever going to do once in your life, do try it BOTH ways!
