Great day in Mazatlan - We’ve been to Mazatlan several times but never here. It was a great outing with a little something for everyone. Beautiful grounds and relaxing atmosphere. We went on the zip line too which was awesome.

Worth knowing - I didn't know this place, and that's what I've been coming for years to vacation. It is something cultural and different with nice attention. It's worth coming in time.

Put this on the must do list - Very high-tech and awesome whale museum with authentic skeletons, geckos turtles Koi peacocks lots of animals to see two museums are actually included in the ticket which runs about 20 $25 US depending on the currency rate and your age If you’re coming by the port, it’s about a two dollar Uber ride

It would be better if the staff gave the tour because if it's a little confusing where to go In the large area it enters - It would be better if the staff gave the tour because if it is a bit confusing where to go In the large area the entrance could install a seating area with benches or some type of seat to enjoy the view Make the menu even wider if only of drinks in the cart selling and accept cards

I wrote it upstairs. - We bought a tour at 5 pm in the name of María Elena Muñoz Melgarejo, nowhere said that the tours ended earlier, when we arrived it turns out that we were told that it was already very late and no one wanted to make any tours, except the aviary boy who is very friendly. We couldn't enjoy anything out there. I think if you no longer want to do tours after 5 pm then sell until 4 and inform the tourist well, because well they charge and expensive.
