  Fascinated by the museum - well worth a look. Loved the history - didnt have a guide but was still okay.

  Be careful if you drive there, don't park on the avenue in front, park on the narrow street on the side (part is gravel - you can park on the gravel or on the street). They smash windows and steal the contents (same thing with bikes or motorcycles). I was warned by the museum employees.No estacionen en la avenida, rompen los vidrios de los autos y roban contenidos, cuidado tb motos y bicis. Las chicas del museo me alertaron. Estacionar en la otra calle (tiene una partecita de ripio donde se puede estacionar)/

  Well presented evolution of dinosaurs. Very helpful if you have a guide. Short term only, unless you are into that sort of thing

  There is a free shuttle at 10:00 a.m. to the EcoCentro from the tourist information office, close to where the shuttle from the dock stops. The museum has very good displays on marine life in he area and the effects of our mistreatment of the oceans with all signs in Spanish and English. A tide pool display with live sea life and lots of short films, most with English subtitles, and a lookout tower accessed by inside stairs. We walked back since it was such a nice day, part of the walk along the beach (about an hour). Well worth a visit if you're looking for something inexpensive to do in Puerto Madryn.

  The museum is well done, the big squid under glass is impressive! Enough to see and read about that makes it worth your while. Plus you get the added bonus of a historic house that has lots of character and very nice ceramic glazed tiles throughout. Well worth your time!

  This is a museum but not the size you would expect in larger cities of course. A very well thought out and laid out exhibition documenting the biodiversity of this part of Patagonia and if you don't know what this part of Argentina has to offer then stop here and read up about the wildlife of the region.

  If you can go here before going on any tours that would be good as the museum gives a lot of background information to the area/animals. Very nice building.

  Make sure you have enough time to chill out and take in the views from the observation tower! Lots of interesting facts about all the wildlife around the area and it's in English!

  This historic merchant's house has been converted into a most interesting museum of "man and the sea". Skeletons of Calamar Gigantica and Caperea Marginata are the highlights but many more very interesting specimens. Only a short walk from the port area albeit via an industrial area.

  If you're in Puerto Madryn and have an afternoon to spare - walk out to this wonderful little gem of a museum and learn about the whales. It's also worth taking time to have a coffee break in their little cafe and just to spend a little while looking out over the vast ocean from the room in the old lighthouse tower.
