[1][2] It consists of two main areas: by the main entrance are the buildings housing the museum and exhibitions detailing the history, culture and process of growing and producing coffee in the region; and in the valley beyond is an amusement park with rides and shows.

Arango, a member of the Departmental Committee of Coffee Growers of Quindío, agreed and contacted Jorge Cárdenas Gutiérrez, the head of the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, who was also receptive to the idea.

[5] Over the following years, Arango continued to work toward the creation of the museum, despite lack of financial support from banks unwilling to lend money for an enterprise they saw as non-profitable, and opposition from delegates from three other departments of Colombia who lobbied for the museum to be constructed in their departments, as well from other towns within the department of Quindío itself who objected to Arango's choice of Montenegro as the planned site for the museum.

Arango took the decision to add an amusement park to the museum in order to attract the younger crowds.

[1][2] This includes three roller coasters: Other rides include Cyclone, drop tower rides, a log flume, two carousels (Cafeteritos Carousel and Children's World Carousel), a Ferris wheel, bumper boats, bumper cars (dodgems), go-karts and a traditional train (with live folklórico music onboard) and vintage-style boarding station.
