We chose this one primarily because they would allow us to take our own photos and videos, unlike Dolphin Discovery. I have nothing to compare it to, because neither of us had ever seen or done anything like it, but it was everything we expected, plus a free dolphin show. There was lots of room to maneuver to get good... more

We got discount tickets at $7 per person from our Expedia expert at the hotel. I don't even know if it was worth that much.. This is the smallest aquarium I've ever been to, we kept looking for more, but there was nothing after a few fish tanks and a pool with dolphins. We've been to the Bahamas where we... more

I went with my kids (9,5,5,3) and they had a great time. Any additional services such as swimming with the dolphins or with the sharks cost an extra fee. more

On the first week of November we went with 3 kids ages 4,4, and 2. All the kids really enjoyed looking at the room of fish exhibits. Seeing the clown fish like in Nemo and the fish that looked like Dory. I enjoyed the jelly fish. There are about 20 tanks of fish or so. After the tanks there are... more

This so called "ineractive acquarium is a total ripoff. We paid 500 pesos for a family of 5 ($50) only to discover that this covers a mere 3-4 exhibit halls- at most 30-40 minutes worth of entertainment. The dolphins show is extra as is the "feed tghe sharks program - and when I say extra I mean it - for... more

We went in here to kill a couple of hours. It cost $320 Mexican pessos or $32US for 2, the price decreases the more of you going in. You start in a room with loads of marine fish and tanks and jellyfish etc. It was great. You then go outside where there are parrots and some outdoor 'pools' with turtles... more

We paid $12 USD per person for admission to the aquarium. The staff was friendly and asked if we wanted to swim with the dolphins, but we declined. The aquarium is well organized and informative. We toured the marine tanks, touched a shark and sting ray, saw the dolphins, and saw some really big sharks on the way out. We... more

We visited the Aquarium during our January stay in Cancun. It was only abour $13 USD, so we decided why not? It was well worth the $13 bucks. We got to see all sorts of aquatic life and animals. We were able to take our time and spend as much time looking as we wanted. We also were able to... more
