Currently some sections are under construction. Tickets were discounted. Overall Museum is nice and has some cute places. Not a necessary visit, but cool and inexpensive. If you've been to any type of science museum, then you probably won't be overwhelmed. This place does have really nice views of the city and Panecillo which are worth the visit. Staff is friendly. This could be fun with kids. Bubble room is very fun.
Cute and interactive, but ultimately not worth it if you only have a couple days in Quito. Exhibition rooms are quite run down and in need of updates, some are quite bare. Also there are no English translations. Descriptions are only in Spanish.
Beautiful view of the city from above though!

Very nice exposition with interactive material. Some of the rooms required some maintenance, but it was a nice experience. Great for the kids! They enjoyed playing with bubbles in one of the rooms.
The kids enjoyed making bubbles and the walk thru the natural areas was quiet and calm but much of the rest of the museum was closed or very restricted due to the pandemic. We did learn a bit about the water supply to Quito if that's of interest!
The Yaku water museum was a fun place for the kids to visit. Some parts of the exhibits are unavailable due to covid but most things were working. My favorite part was the views of the city, the panecillo, and the downtown area. The kids loved the bubble roomand running through the fountain area.
I loved it. Although it is noted that the passage of time and users have been wearing away part of the structures of the attractions that are located abroad. They should renovate the infrastructure on the outside a little, since it would be a good way to renovate outdoor activities (a little more investment for a pleasant recreation for visitors) It is recommended to go during the week, thus avoiding the influx of people . And they can enjoy the place and the tour with much more calm and without so many crowds of people. The garden at the bottom was the most refreshing and entertaining of the museum, the sound of the small waterfall captivates the most observant and discreet, recreating an ecological trail atmosphere. A good place to distract yourself from the weekdays and create awareness about water and its use. The museum has wheelchairs for people who need it ... for that very good part. And every certain time the exhibitions change and renew them.
Kid friendly (especially young kids) museum that talks about everything water from its properties, myths, conservation, etc. Kids get to play with hands on activities including making bubbles, painting, sand play, and other games. There are some water fountains where kids can splash on but be sure to bring a spare set of clothes and shoes.
