Visit to the Snow Society
Excellent experience. Important symbol to represent the memories of a very tragic event, but that teaches us a lot about how to coexist in harmony with others. And how we're all equal to each other.

Amazing
Worth a visit, tell the story in an exciting way
B
I liked it a lot. It is a very good and complete museum; it is clear that there is a lot of study and effort behind it.
I really liked that there is so much interactivity and it captures your attention completely. It would be good if the room where the summary is shown on the television were quieter and there were no noises to distract you.

Mandatory Parade in Montevideo
Fantastic experience, very rich in detail, brings a lot of information, even so that you already knew the story through the movies. The highlight of the visit is being able to experience for 72 seconds the intense cold that the survivors faced up there. This Museo is a must stop for those passing through Montevideo.
C
Immersive experience!
Incredible experience. You need to come and see this museum as it brings you back to the mountains in 1972 and makes you believe that something tremendous has to have happened to make this people come back to life.
