Children’s Museum

The Children’s Museum offers interactive learning in a historic building. Review current exhibits and visitor arrangements, then choose activities for your children’s ages and interests. Leave time to talk about a question raised by the experience.

Children’s Museum of Costa Rica

Discover interactive learning in a former prison transformed into a museum. Check exhibits and entry arrangements.

El Fortín de Heredia

Notice this distinctive historic tower while exploring the public streets around Heredia’s center.

Esterillos Oeste

A separate coastal community beyond Playa Hermosa, Esterillos Oeste adds another perspective on the Central Pacific shore. Plan the journey as its own outing and observe the beach and rocky coastline from suitable public areas.

Historic Government Building

The former government building is included in Liberia’s heritage walk. Admire the exterior and ask about any current public access rather than assuming the building is a visitor museum. Its role is part of the city’s changing story.

Lankester Botanical Garden

Look closely at orchids and other plants in this University of Costa Rica botanical garden.

Manzanillo Village Outing

Manzanillo is a separate coastal community south of Puerto Viejo. Explore public areas respectfully and ask about current access to nearby refuge trails before setting out.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve

Look for mosses, layered vegetation and forest birds on designated reserve trails. Check reservations directly.

Playa Ballena

Another part of the wider protected coastline, Playa Ballena offers a different coastal perspective. Confirm the appropriate entrance and current access rather than assuming all park beaches share one arrival point.

Playa Hermosa — Guanacaste

This Guanacaste beach is different from the beaches called Hermosa near Jacó or Santa Teresa. Check the precise map location and current conditions when planning a nearby outing from Coco.

Playa Manzanillo – Cóbano

Farther north along the Santa Teresa coast, Manzanillo brings a smaller community and a different stretch of Pacific shoreline into view. Check the current route and tide locally. This is the Manzanillo in Cóbano, not the Caribbean destination.

Playa Nosara

A darker-sand beach near the Nosara River mouth forms part of the protected Ostional coastline. Observe shorebirds, sand patterns and the changing river-meets-ocean landscape from a permitted access point, keeping well clear of the estuary channel.
