A MUST-visit if you are in Panama City . Only about 15 minutes from downtown and well worth it. In the morning there were plenty of ships passing through. Could not recommend more.

Ana Sanson

Enjoy to see the movie displayed on site before going to the terrace to see the ships . Inquire about the times that the ships are going there before.

Irina

It's a staring/gawking contest between people hanging over the side of the Miraflores building balcony and the people baking on the boat, waiting for the locks to do their thing. Amazing! But it isn't

Public Works

The Panama Canal is one of the top public works projects in the world. Visit the The Miraflores Visitors Center to learn how the canal operates and get a close up view of the ships !

Heleni Vakratsas

Visit the new restaurant Atlantic & Pacific Co . The food and the view are equally impresive.

Yaron S

Arrive before noon for boats going towards the Atlantic and 3:15 for boats towards the Pacific

Colm Linehan

Movie is good, the museum is alright. Seeing the massive ships coming through is awesome, but get there early - the terrace gets very busy.

Kyla Applegate

Definitely wait to watch a ship go through, its pretty neat. Exhibits and 3D video are all right, but the canal steals the show

Erin S

Atlantic Pacific Co . was closed at 4:30 on a Sunday. However, the museum and viewing area was still open at 5:30. If you visit late, plan on being flexible.

Jorge Aleman

A most if you visit Panama! Really amazing the logistics around how a ship cross from one ocean to another!

If you want to touch the canal wall, make sure you are tall enough and don't touch the stinky wet part. You get a certificate signed by da ship captain for crusing through this canal .

*The terrace on the top floor has the best view .*Visit the museum , it's worth it.*Call ahead to make sure there's ships passing thru at the time of your visit.

Enrique Malek

Visit only before 9:30 and after 2pm, best time to see the "Panamax" transits. Go to the 4th floor, terrace , there is the best view

Just marvel at the levy system...you'd be surprised by how fascinating it is.

Espiranza Bint Abdulla

I was amazed. Kadus panama

Carl Griffin

Amazing to watch the locks in action as a ship passes through.

Kevin Tidgewell

Make sure that boats are going through when you're here ... there is a small window in the middle of the day when they are switching directions.

Yael Avidan

Make reservations at the restaurant for best view (around 130pm)

Georg Schmundt-Thomas

quite, no one here

Raul Abdiel Gonzalez Ricord

Excelente para un domingo. Recomendarlo a amistades extranjeras. Ir desde temprano para visitar el museo , las salas de exhibiciones, comer algo y lograr ver los barcos desde el mirador .

fabrizio rincon

Aqui en las esclusas hay que verlo todo, entrar al museo , ver la pelicula , y por supuesto ver un barquito atravesando las puertas de entrada al canal , el reocrrido es asombroso...ENJOYIT...

Juan Otálora

Un lugar que definitivamente no podemos dejar de visitar su museo muy completo y las exclusas maravillosamente monumentales.

Nayara Cristina Jorge

O local é bem fora do roteiro de passeios da cidade , mas vale a pena para conhecer porque o canal é tão importante para o país . Compensa comprar o ingresso junto para conhecer o Biomuseo.

Moises Rojas

Lleguen temprano a la terraza para agarrar buena vista y poder ver barcos pasar las esclusas . Pongan atención a las explicaciones que dicen por el speaker. Itinerario: balcón , película y museo .

Eliane Matiko Imanaga

Uma obra incrível! Vale muito apena ir , pois com a visita você pode saber um pouco mais da história do Panamá.

fabrizio rincon

Vale la pena comprar el pase completo por 8 $ y nutrirse de informacion con el video y museo ademas de ver el paso de un barco y movimiento de las esclusas en vivo y directo es una gran experiencia

Luis Urea

La visita obligatoria si vienes a Panamá. El pase incluye el museo , pelicula informativa y ver los barcos pasar por la exclusas

Erick Saenz

Si estas en Panamá es un lugar que obligatoriamente debes conocer, asi podras entender en funcionamiento y la importancia del canal para el mundo.

OfertaSimple Panamá

Por la mañana pasan los barcos que van del Pacífico al Caribe y por la tarde los que van en sentido contrario. No olvides el recorrido por el Centro de Visitantes de Miraflores.

Juan Maglieri

De verdad un sitio para conocer tiene un museo con su historia y ver pasar los barcos entre las esclusas es muy interesante

Stéphane Degraeve

Muy interesante ver todo el proceso de pasaje de buques grandes. Expo llamativa y viviente, más un filme 3D buen hecglho que resume la historia del canal Personal simpatiquisimo.

Ele Pic

Si va a Panamá debe visitar el canal , una obra de ingeniería impresionante . Observe con atención la forma en que transitan los barcos .

Milton Arcaya

Muy buen museo para conocer la historia del Canal . Tenes q ir temprano para ver los barcos cruzar

José Fernando Morera

Visita obligatoria. Ojalá planearlo para poder ver barcos grandes o cruceros .

Alexander Myskin

Открывается в 8, а не в 9. Самое лучшее время - прям с утра! Корабли ходят один за другим и народу мало.

Juan Inmacolato

Visita interesante para entender como se mueven las mercancías en este lado del mundo recomendable

Oscar Laras

El numero del centro de Visitantes es 276-8617, llamen antes de venir para saber en q horario hay barcos pasando. Atencion de 9 am @ 5 pm

Fausto Barrera

Lleguen temprano para obtener buen lugar y ver el paso de los buques .

Dermeval Jr

Imperdível! Há um bom restaurante bufê no 3o andar com vista para as eclusas .
