Medellín City Card Attractions

Museum of Antioquia

Included in: Medellín City Card and Museums Card

A Botero statue outside the Museum of Antioquia

The Museum of Antioquia is symbolic of Medellín’s transformation from a city in perpetual turmoil to a thriving culture hub. Renovated in 1997, the museum is one of the city’s most important institutions and is home to thousands of Colombia’s most important art treasures.

Perhaps best known for its huge collection of work by Fernando Botero (much of which was donated by the artist himself), you could spend hours just enjoying his instantly-recognizable rotund characters.

Apart from Botero, the 17-room collection includes works by other important artists, as well as artifacts from the Pre-Columbian era, colonial period, and beyond.

Parque de la Conservación

Included in: Medellín City Card, Family Fun Card, Science & Nature Card

Monkeys at Parque de la Conservación

Parque de la Conservación is Medellín’s popular wildlife hub, located on the site of the old Santa Fe Zoo. It provides an educational experience for visitors while working on wildlife projects to protect jaguars, bears, primates and more. 

Jaguars, pumas, flamingos, birds, zebras, hippos, monkeys, anacondas, ostriches, alligators and many other creatures live in the park. You’ll see roaring lions and pig-sized rodents, reptiles who can change color and teeny-tiny monkeys that can fit in the palm of your hand. 

Learn about their fascinating lives, and hear why these species find home at Parque de la Conservación. Discover the park’s conservation projects, and find out what you can do to take care of biodiversity and become an ally of conservation during your visit.

Parque Explora

Included in: Medellín City Card, Family Fun Card, Science & Nature Card

View of Parque Explora from above

Parque Explora is a home for the inquisitive. Medellín’s popular interactive science and technology museum is at the heart of the city’s innovation district, a hit with families and curious visitors alike. 

The building is impossible to miss with its four giant, elevated red blocks – it’s worth a visit just to take a peek at the architecture! Through more than 300 stimulating activities, subjects like biodiversity, neuroscience, relativity, thermodynamics, and physics all come to life.

Parque Explora is also home to the largest freshwater aquarium in South America, and you can also wow at majestic axolotls and vibrant orange frogs in the vivarium. There are interactive rooms devoted to music and the mind, all managed by friendly, science-savvy staff.

Museum of Modern Art Medellín

Included in: Medellín City Card and Museums Card

An installation inside the Museum of Modern Art

The Medellín Museum of Modern Art is home to an important collection of art by Colombians and Antioquians, whose work represents the cultural, social, and political themes in Colombia’s recent past.

Inside an unmissable abstract building in the neighborhood of El Poblado, you’ll see work by the best-known Colombian artists, like the politically charged paintings of Débora Arango. 

You can create your own soundscapes inside the sound experimentation laboratory, and the museum also boasts a cool and quiet atmosphere, welcoming visitors to its many terraces and outdoor spaces.

Parque Arví Tour

Included in: Medellín City Card, Science & Nature Card

A creek inside Parque Arvi

Parque Arví is an oasis in the hills – a popular escape for locals from the busy streets of central Medellín 30 km to the south west. This protected natural area is dedicated to public use and ecotourism, and highlights Colombia’s environmental, cultural, and archaeological heritage. 

Medellín’s enormous nature reserve and public park features everything from birds to rare butterflies, alongside some truly striking scenery. Hike your way through this oasis in the hills on a Parque Arví tour and uncover the history and ecology of the 39,500-acre park. Your English and Spanish-speaking guide will lead the way.

Parque Norte Medellín

Included in: Medellín Family Fun Card

Kids enjoying the slides at Parque Norte

Entry to Parque Norte is your passport to fun and adrenaline in Medellín. Located beneath the Aburrá Valley, the park is home to attractions, thrilling rides, and beautiful views, as well as Latin America’s largest urban lake. 

You’ll pop your wristband on at the entrance and then set about exploring four unique zones, including a zone designed for younger children to have a good time. 

If you’re looking for action, then choose the Extreme Passport and take on rides like Kamikaze, Maui, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Planning on a family visit? Then try out the Fusion Passport, younger kids will be able to enjoy gentler rides that will leave them giddy.

Aeroparque Juan Pablo II

Included in: Medellín Family Fun Card

People swimming in the wave pool at Aeroparque Juan Pablo II

You’ll have noticed the giant waterpark at Aeroparque Juan Pablo II if you’ve ever arrived in the city by plane – it’s close enough to the city’s airport for the bigger splashes to hit the runway!

Aeroparque Juan Pablo II has a whole laid of watery fun on offer making it perfect for the Medellín Family Fun Card. There’s a huge wave pool with waves as high as three meters. 

There’s another pool with slides, a semi-Olympic pool for the serious swimmers, a didactic pool, a children’s pool, and a circular pool. If you just want to relax in the sun, head to the spacious green area and chill.

Looking to sample more experiences in the city? Remember, with the purchase of any Medellín City Card, you’ll earn a 10% discount to use on other Medellín attractions.
