    We went twice with our 3 year old son when we were in CJ for my husband's immigration interview. My son was occupied for hours and did not want to leave. The staff was very sweet. You may want to pack a lunch. The food was limited to pizza and soda when we were there. There were many different areas and things to explore and I was able to relax as I had been quite anxious about the trip.

    I did a walking tour of Juarez, and this was probably the highlight for me. Firstly, the building itself is gorgeous and well-maintained for such a historic place. There are lots of interesting tidbits like the menu from a meeting between U.S. President Taft and Mexican President Diaz which took place in the building--it was the first time a U.S. president ever visited Mexico. Signage was mostly bilingual throughout, admission was free, and it's right on a pedestrianized street that leads to the mission church, the oldest building in either Juarez or El Paso.

    I visited Las Misiones mall in at least 3 ocasiones. Es una mall como cualquiera y tiene todas las conveniencias que se espera de un centro commercial. Desafortunadamente es muy caro y lo único que pude comprar fue comida. Solo pude encontrar los baños que están arriba así que necesitan más baños.? Me di cuenta que cobran a la gente por entrar con su carro y eso no me gusto.
    Las Missiones mall is a shopping mall like every other with all the conveniences one should expect from a mall. Unfortunately, it was very expensive and the only thing I could afford was food. I only saw the bathrooms upstairs by food court so I believe they need more bathrooms? I noticed people are charged to park there so I didn’t like that.

    We took the family to the park and had a blast. Lots of open area for the kids to run, and informative plaques for the adults to read about the history of Mexico.

    We lived in CJ for 3 years and visited the X only a few times. However, the X is visible from both sides of the border and anyone who has visited the El Paso/CJ area will identify with this landmark. Parking is easy, just across the street and the area often has small concerts or other exhibitions making it a fun reason to stop by the X.

    Great time, spent some real money! Negotiated some great bargains. Went on a Thursday so not every shop was open.

    I pedal here regularly, and have camped (and wrecked!) here, in addition bringing visitors to this site. It is situated on the banks of the Rio Bravo/Rio Grande in Parque Madero, adjacent to Boundary Marker One/International border between the USA & EUM. It is well signed, but not so easy to get to; it is on the levee road, which is about 3miles/5kms of very rough gravel/potholed surface. However, the reconstructed 2-room adobe building is extremely important: former President Francisco I. Madero & Pancho Villa met here to determine the future of Mexico during the 1911 revolution. The friendly, knowledgeable Curator/docent Alfredo can give you a thorough review of those happenings, as well as relevant information about the area. If you have a valid passport, you must visit this site. It is worth 5-stars and gets my "Wheel of Approvale!"

    One of the best guided tours I have ever taken. The archeologist who gave the tour obliged our request to give it in both English and Spanish. She was a very clear speaker of both languages. Besides holdings inside the museum, she took us to the full-scale replica of the living structure at Paquimé.

    Send an email to museodeelchamizal@gmail.com if you wish to reserve a tour (which was free!).

    This makes the second of my many stops at this fine museum by (motor) vehicle; I always stop by when pedaling my Doublevision. However, my goal was to share this marvelous museum--and all of my proposed designated bike route between San Geronimo & el Porvenir (Mexico)--with my #1 son and his fiancee. While my preference is to cycle this route, as well as visiting this Museum, it was far better for all of us to go in a motor vehicle, especially since the wind was rising. Anyway, a few years ago I inadvertently crossed into Mexico at the Fabens/Tornillo-Cazeta Port of Entry (good thing I had my passport!) late one afternoon during my Irene's Pedal 2 years ago. Beside exhaustion and not wanting to pedal during darkness, I found a nice little campsite not too far East. Back then, I woke early (in fact, so early that I woke up the roosters!) and pedaled West on the exceptionally fine Ruta Dos, passing through numerous small hamlets while being passed by numerous Transportes Personnel bus delivering maquilla workers. With the Sun just popping into view, I had nearly left San Agustin when a motorist told me about "free coffee" at this museo.
    No questions, I needed nutrition/hot liquid/COFFEE!/anything to keep my body going. I immediately wheeled around and went to this rather well-marked museo, which shares a space with the local clinic. What a great pleasure it was to meet Dr. Professor Robles, curator. Not only did I get a good filling of hot coffee, but the galletas were delicious and much needed, too! This fine museum has excellent "guard" dogs whose primary strength is barking, not biting, and exceptional toilets.
    Whenever I've returned, I always bring something and this visit with my family, I brought a big container of coffee grounds, as well as some fruit. Whether you arrive by motor vehicle or bicycle, this is a worthy stop during opening hours.
