This is a natural history museum well worth the visit, particularly for children. And it's free! It is centrally located in the city at the south end of the lake in the lovely Parque San Martin.

Although small, the Science and Natural History Museum is a great way to while away a couple hours after a long walk around the park.

A small bauhaus-style museum in the San Martin park. Exhibits are all in Spanish, but there was a small brochure provided at the entrance in English. Some exhibits labels are faded and can no longer be read. Some interesting exhibits on display, including reproduced dinosaur bones, fossils, and taxidermy animals. Admission was free. We saw all the exhibits in approximately one hour. Very few people on a weekday afternoon.

Small but informative museum on three floors. Friendly staff. Entrance is free, definitely worth every peso.

The museum is free, so although it is quite sparse with things to see, it is worth visiting when you're walking around the lake. It has a section on dinosaurs and some bones of Mendozasaurus on display, which I didn't know existed.
