Museo del Ámbar Dominicano

Very fun museum with incredible amber specimens. The Jurassic park logo was inspired here. There’s also a nice exhibit on making cigars. Takes make 45 mins to see everything.

I was at the back of the line so I couldn't hear the tour guide's explanation. The door inside the museum, if kept open too long has a high pitched ring so don't wear your hearing aides. Overall, not worth visiting. There's lots of stairs so overall not ideal of handicap cruusers.

Very interesting and informative. The museum has great amber exhibits and also cigar tobacco as well. Beautiful jewelry from amber and blue stone as well as Dominicans cigars. Definitely worth a visit

The Dominican Amber Museum truly exceeded my expectations. It’s located in a beautiful old Victorian house that gives the whole visit a unique charm. I learned so much about amber, and seeing ancient insects trapped inside pieces that are millions of years old was amazing. The famous blue amber—found only in the Dominican Republic—is absolutely stunning. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the tour enjoyable and informative. There's also a lovely little shop with genuine amber jewelry. Perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers. Definitely a must-see if you're in Puerto Plata!

Very nice stop during day trip to Puerto Plata, museum is in a beautiful mansion and is well organised. In top of Amber collection you can also see the tobacco transformation process to make cigars. Our guide was lovely, knowledgeable and made our visit a quality experience. The tour doesn’t take long and museum is within 15 mins walking distance from the cruise liners port.

A hidden gem in Puerto Plata. For just $2 USD, we got to explore the Amber Museum (loved the Jurassic Park connection!) and even got a quick tour of the cigar museum included. It’s a perfect quick stop—we were in and out in about half an hour. Highly recommend checking it out for a quick dose of history."

Legitimately worth it. The tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. He also speaks like 4 languages (German, English, Spanish, and I forgot the other one)! Bought my tickets there, I think it was $200DOP.

The Amber Museum, and it was so much more than I expected! 🏛️✨ Seeing fossilized insects inside the amber and learning about the process of how it's made was absolutely fascinating. 🐞🪨 It’s a great place to admire these beautiful stones while getting a history lesson. One of my favorite parts? Finding out that an amber piece from this museum was borrowed for the Jurassic Park movie! 🦖🎥 No wonder the museum’s logo looks so similar to the movie's. Highly recommend visiting—it’s an unforgettable experience!
