This is a very interesting place for those into serious archaeology, but as others have said, the spheres aren't very dramatic and the site while well provided for in some respects (good "banos", good explanations and a few (very few) other interesting artefacts) lacks drinking water (so bring some as it's usually very hot here!) . Note that many guides fail to locate it correctly. To find it, take Route 2 (Interamericana) to Palmar Norte, cross the long girder bridge over the Rio Terraba, and then turn right on to the Sierpe Road. Note that it's worth making a stop at the little park that comes up on the left, opposite the airport and the plinthed FC del Sur steam engine (worth a look in its own right). The park has several large spheres as well as beautiful and interesting trees.

The museum is 8 km down the road towards Sierpe. There are helpful markers showing the number of km to go; a white M on a blue square background. The final sign has an arrow pointing to the museum.

I have tried to correct the museum location; there are two markers and one of them is misplaced to be at Palmar Norte. The other is correctly located on the Sierpe road.

A bit underwhelming. There is not much info presented as to the meaning and function of the spheres, which are the focus of this museum. More high tech research is needed.

It is good to stop in if you're near palmar Norte, but I wouldn't make a special trip for itit's a different experience for the Costa Rica usual.

This was a very magical experience and we documented for our doc under an episode called GUÍAS (Guides). Despite the scalding day and a very humid weather we managed to visit the Sitio Museu finca 6 and walk thru a series of trails until we got to see the famous ancient stone spheres left by an ancient local civilization.

Es muy lejos, costoso y poco provechoso.

this archeological site contains ancient stone spheres made by the original natives of this land. There are stone spheres both found there on site and also relocated back from stately houses and office buidings in San Jose, where they had been taken to during the 20th century. A brand new museum on site , property of Museo Nacional de Costa Rica provides graphic displays and videos about the spheres, and the site in general. There is a paved road all the way to the entrance of the site, located in an old abandoned banana plantation. No food for sale on site, but once you explore there, you can continue a bit further down the road to the very nice town of Sierpe, next to the river with the same name,where there are many options.

I have always wanted to see the mysterious stone spheres found in Costa Rica. This museum has some. A few are in their original locations; some were recovered from other locations. The museum has descriptions, both text and video, of the culture that made and moved them.
