Lots to see, the museum is very informative and has both Spanish and English information next to the exhibits. We loved the Cube as well. Had many beautiful paintings and interesting art installations.

This is an excellent stop especially if traveling further south into Baja. Exhibits are on chronological order along a ramp. The museum also has a nice gift shop

Like much in Mexico- a cluster of confusion and wasted resources.
According to my GPS map it was an eight minute walk from where we cross the border but definitely not true. We stupidly hopped in a taxi instead of getting an Uber in for a five minute ride the guy charges $10. I tried to fight him on it a little bit but he wasnāt having it, we shouldāve asked first. But whatever ā they need it more than we do obviously, but no one likes feeling ripped off.
We entered where the round building IMAXand nothing was being shown the day we arrived. So we walked into the other main building that has the museum. The two pleasant ladies at the information desk said we have to go to the IMAX going to buy tickets to the museum. We went back to the IMAX building and they said no go back to the main museum. So we went in a different entrance at the main museum and there was nothing there to buy a ticket so we just walked around and saw a nice photography exhibit about immigration and protests in the 1940s.
We never did find where to buy tickets or where the regular museum of artifacts are.
From there we picked up an Uber to Calle revolution to see the touristy stuff. A three dollar Uber, for a 10 minute ride.

Overall, the CECUT has a innovative spirit to arrange not only great cultural exhibitions but also performances. I had the pleasure of visiting Tijuana for a weekend and CECUT was coincidentally presenting a legendary salsa band from Cuba, Los Van Van, it was great!

I have a young German guest with me, will she be able to get across the border without problems?

If she is driving or walking into Mexico from the US, that is not a problem. Driving back in to the U.S. should also not be a problem. I'm assuming if she flew into the U.S. she already has the proper documents (passport stamp and I-92 you fill out upon arrival in the USA). Make sure you have those documents with you when you go back. The border has undergone a lot of changes recently, mostly to better expedite the crossing process. Even US citizens are now required to carry a passport to go back in. Any additional permits you may need (if she doesn't have them already) you used to be able to process them at secondary inspection. They have gotten a little stricter about it though, and they may want you to have that already by the time you get to the inspection. If you don't, depending on who you get, they may send you back to get it, then you have to wait in line all over again.
If you are walking, the office you get those documents from, you will actually walk by it to get to inspection point.
I would check with U.S. Customs and Homeland Security to verify documents needed.

How far is it from the border crossing to CECUT? Can we walk? Another quick question please...about how long did it take to cross back into the US? I know the wait times vary, but just a general idea will help. Thank you very much!

Hello, the walking border has been switched by places and it is a really long walk. Also, it is not safe at all to go walking through the streets without someone who can protect you. As a local I'd recommend taking an uber or if you have global entry/sentri take your car.
