Very close to Mexico City, the Era Sauria: Mesozoic Footprints exhibition has opened, where you will see more than 40 life-size dinosaurs. So you don’t miss it, we’ll tell you how to get to this dinosaur exhibition in Toluca. You can go by public transport.
The first thing you need to know is that this exhibition focuses on the life cycle of dinosaurs. You will discover how they were born, how they lived, and the characteristics of these enormous animals.
In fact, the exhibition also focuses on their anatomy, so you’ll see everything from skulls to footprints and dinosaur tongues. We recommend you go early so you can check out all the information in the exhibition; it has very up-to-date data on these animals. You’ll even see feathered dinosaurs!
Of course, you’ll encounter life-size dinosaurs, ranging from 40 cm to 12 meters in length. At the end of the tour, a huge T-Rex will be waiting for you.
It’s worth noting that the exhibition has an interactive area where you can dig up fossils, color, and even operate an animatronic dinosaur. Don’t hesitate to bring the kids. Admission is $60, and you can visit from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
How to get to the dinosaur exhibition in Toluca?
The exhibition is located at the Tolzú Center (Av. Miguel Hidalgo 201, Barrio de Santa Clara, Toluca, State of Mexico). To get there from Mexico City, you can take the Interurban Train. But let’s take it one step at a time.
If you go by Metro, you should go to the Observatorio station and then take the Interurban Train. Then you should get off at the Toluca Centro station; the journey takes between 40 minutes and an hour.
Once at Toluca station, take a taxi or bus to Centro Tolzú. And that’s it! It will take you about 10 minutes to get there from that point.
Keep in mind that the trip from Observatorio to Toluca Centro costs $90 per person. Remember that to board the Interurban Train, you must use the integrated mobility card or purchase a QR code.
The exhibition will be open until August 30, 2026, so you still have plenty of time to attend. Start planning your getaway with your family or friends! The best part is that everyone can participate in the activities and take pictures of the dinosaurs.
