After relishing the echoing sounds of the forest while meandering through an elaborate backdrop of towering trees, cascading waterfalls, and mysterious cave formations, visitors enter the captivating world of the ancient Maya depicted in full detail including artistic reconstructions of every significant artifact from the stone temple to the ancient tomb.

The Old Belize tour culminates with a glimpse into the dawn of the modern era including a perfectly recreated Belize City street dating back to the early 1900s complete with wooden colonial homesteads and well lit shop windows. Adjacent to this eye-catching display is an equally remarkable reconstruction of a traditional Garifuna home complete with the distant echoes of the famous Garifuna drums.

A variety of attractive handcrafted souvenirs including a selection of indigenous hardwood slabs, tasty condiments, and elegant paintings can be purchased at the well stocked gift-shop situated at the museum’s rear exit. Following the enlightening interactive history lesson encased within the confines of the Old Belize museum, it is time to relax, unwind, and enjoy some of the site’s other attractions including a refreshing cocktail and mouthwatering Belizean meal at the spacious Sibun Bite Bar and Grill which overlooks the picturesque Caribbean shores of sun-kissed Cucumber Beach, the only man-made beach within the Belize City area.
