Skip the Line Tickets for Temple Major
Description
The Museum of the Templo Mayor opened on 12 October 1987. Its creation was the result of the archaeological excavations carried out by the Templo Mayor Project in its first season, between 1978 and 1982, which were made under the direction of Eduardo Matos Moctezuma and allowed to recover a collection of more than 7,000 objects, as well as the vestiges of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan and some surrounding buildings. All this gave rise to the initiative of building a site museum to exhibit the collection and, at the same time, complement the visit of the archaeological area.

Templo Mayor was our top four museums. Fortunately we arrived at the right time and were grateful to have purchased the line skip. Staff is very attentive and process was easy. Simple bag search and a pass of metal detector.
The way Templo Mayor works is that you stand in line and buy tickets, then you go in. When you book this service, basically you are paying someone to stand in line and buy the tickets for you. The tickets are about 6 dollars. So this premium of $30 is for the person’s work. We did not get tickets in person, we got two online QR code tickets. At first I thought, “wow, they have advanced booking now for foreigners, cool!” However, when we got to Templo Mayor, we found out that the museum had been closed all week due to safety reasons. Most museums were closed due to a teacher protest and camp out In México’s Historical District. We were never notified by the tour guide this was happening, we were never offered a reimbursement or to reschedule the date. This vendor seems scammy… I am requesting a refund from Viator and strongly suggest this vendor is flagged by the company as a potential fraudster.
Make sure you take note of the meet up details the one time they’re provided cuz you won’t get them again
I bought this ticket on Viator and the museum would not let me in. I tried to show them the confirmation booking reference etc and after 30 minutes of trying I still did not get into the museum
This is an amazing place! The ruins are fascinating but the museum is also brilliant. Be aware that there is loads to see so allow at least 2 or 3 hours.
Fascinating history not to be missed. The uncovering of years of construction and destruction continues to this day as archeologists can be viewed meticulously seeking to uncover more of this buried city
