Casa K'inich
Even if you're not traveling with kids, you're likely to enjoy Casa K'inich . This fine children's museum explores everything Maya - mathematics, language, astronomy, culture and religion - through games, music, even posing inside of stelae (bring your camera - how often do you get to be Smoke Jaguar?). Exhibits are in English, Spanish and Chortí.

Museo Regional de Arqueología Maya
Although in need of some updating, the 1970s-era Museo Regional de Arqueología Maya gives a good overview of the Maya and their presence in the Valle de Copán. The exhibit contains some excellent pieces: painted pottery, carved jade, Maya glyphs and the original Stela B portraying King 18 Rabbit. Don't miss the Tumba de la Bruja, the round tomb of a shamana who was buried with several spectacular offerings, including two human heads (neither of which were hers).
