  This is one of those places that you roll your eyes at - you think Tourist Trap! And at the start of the "tour", you feel exactly that. Silly displays, simulated huts to sit in and listen to life with the Incas. But when you actually get to stand ON the Equator, and they prove with visual tests and your own physical transformation that you are THERE, it is exhilarating! You are actually at the middle of the earth!Made for a wonderful day. And like everywhere else in Ecuador, the people couldn't have been nicer. This is a country that makes you feel welcome, never makes you feel pressured to buy something, and is so grateful when you enjoy yourself and show your appreciation (with a smile, a handshake or a gratuity).

  This is really a great experience. The guides give you a little history and demonstrate a few amusing scientific things that you can only do at the equator. Its a fun way to spend and hour for a modest cost.

  It was fun to take pictures on the equator, they also have lots of cute restaurants and shops! Very touristy but you have to go if you are in the area.

  This is a great little museum which has the actual equator marked. The guides show you a few little science tricks that you can do on the equator which are interesting as well as showing you some housing etc. from the local tribes. If you are stopping into see the monument next door this is definitely worth a visit and is only $4 entry fee.

  The Intinan Museum is one of several sites where you can stand on the equator, but also is a museum reflecting some of the diversity present in Ecuador. The guide was fluent in English and knowledgeable, but also fun. The experiments were good for the non-scientists among us, me included, and were designed to inspire a little thinking, probably a good thing.

  A long drive from the center of Quito for nothing. The whole thing is artificial, phoney. Don't wast your time or your money.

  We thought this was excellent. The tour was very interesting and the demonstrations and "hands on" experiments on the equator line were big fun. Pam was able to balance the egg on the head of the nail and was awarded her certificate, unfortunately I did not master it.No visit to Quito would be complete without a visit here to the "Real Equator". Highly Recommended!

  It was quite fun standing on the equator and to see all the gravity and balance differences there are around the line. It was a worthwhile experience visiting this place.

  A wonderful open museum where you can complete different experiments but also learn about Ecuador's rich culture. Don't miss it!
