If you buy the most expensive ticket it comes with extra things to do. Such as the gondola ride, a train ride, a safari ride and etc. If you are early, you can get a separate ticket to feed the capybara and there are limited amount of tickets allowed! The zoo is decent sized and has your typical basic animals. You are able to feed the fishes, deers and etc. Pretty great experience here! Overall 8/10

This was her 6th zoo visit within the past few years. This was, by far, the best zoo I have visited. I love how much there was to do here; from the deer feedings to train ride and safari, it's a great experience. The zoo is well-maintained, spacious, and beautiful. IF you ever end up in Jalisco, come to this zoo. It's the biggest zoo in Mexico and a nice place for the family to go to !! ( :

Farm animals are cute and for 3 years and up you can pay I think 150 pesos for a feeding experience. If I could go back I would skip feeding the flamingos as the attendant wasn't very friendly, the flamingos eat aggressively and it becomes a big splash zone. The fish are in good shape and lively. There's tons of animals to see. There were food options for my allergy child and a few places to get food and additional drink and snack station toward the playground and farm animals. The not so good: it's pricy for entry at least I think for the area. There should be places to wash hands or a hand sanitizer station nearby places like the fish touching, and farm animals. You have to go inside to one of the bathrooms to clean your hands after touching animals and I think it discourages a lot of people from actively washing their hands.

It's $239 for a total access ticket (giving you entrance to a few exhibits that cost extra money like feeding the goats). My five-year-old daughter and I went in July 2022 and here's our experience: 1) Exhibits: Arrows on the ground guide you through the exhibits of fish, sharks, sting rays, sharks, etc. Even though the main focus is an aquarium, they also have animals like snacks and spiders. Outside are farm animals like chickens, bunnies, and goats. They also have a large bird area where you can feed the birds. The favorite exhibits were the finger-sucking fish (it doesn't hurt, just tickles), the bird area, and the outdoor animals, especially feeding the goats. One interesting thing different than other countries is that brands have ads throughout the space. For example, after the sting ray exhibit, you walk through an interactive Coca-Cola ad. Also, many of the close encounter exhibits cost extra money, usually $30 pesos. 2) Food: In the outside area is a food court with pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and other snack items. 3) Amenities: My daughter loved the sand box outside and the machines that dispense food to feed the goldfish, etc. It costs $5 pesos for food, but usually you can find scraps on the ground to use to save money.

Adrenaline, mystery and countless laughs! Have you ever dream of robbing the Central Bank? If you want to feel what is like to become a millionaire by stealing a bank, you will have 60 min to break into the maximum security bank in the country and manage to escape before you are caught by the authorities. The best part... You can choose your best thieves (aka. Friends) to help you! (Up to 5 people). If you are a planner (like myself), I recommend to book beforehand over the website. The staff was also very helpful and answered all our questions. I cannot wait to go back and try to Save-the-world from a bunker!

You have 60 minutes to overcome a mountain of brain twisting puzzles and escape from a themed room.

We need at least 10 kids". I told the owners, we pay to come here and use the water slides. they looked at my family and kids and said, "we will not turn hem on unless we get more kids". This is ridiculous! You pay and not get your money's worth. All of the other times was the same thing. I had to go out of my way to talk to people from the other swimming pools to go to the water slides so they can be turned on. This is just wrong. I would give it a zero for customer service.

Extra activities are very reasonably priced (government operated) and definitely fun and worth doing. Zip-lining is available. Paddle boat rental is available for $50 MXP for half and hour or so. Plenty of shaded and picnic areas. Cool "Tarzan" park for the juniors. Skatepark available at no cost. Nice jogging trail. Conveniently on the same property as the Acuario Michin (aquarium which I reviewed and posted pictures on as well). Cons: They're closed on Mondays. The junior park can get overcrowded at times with children. Sometimes there's a minimal wait for the paddle boats (good so it doesn't overcrowd the lake/pond).
