I enjoyed watching the ships going through the locks, could have stayed and watched them all day. Very interesting and lots of information provided.

Try a guide tour, as they have always the best tips and recommendations. Also they know a little bit of history as well! It is impressive all the ships passing thru! Amazing! Definitely a must!

The Panama Canal is a great engineering and construction achievement considering it was built over 100 years ago. The locks has a very nice tourist area that is well worth the time and money.
