The aviary, butterfly park, caterpillar nursery & river swim were enjoyable. The monkeys were lively; the rest of the land animals were sleeping or hiding. The manatees were impressive & we watched the dolphins. The Mexican Rancho was beautiful. The VerdeCruz buffet was good. The chocolate was delicious. The Mayan demonstration & the Grand Show were excellent.

What an amazing adventure! We had the time of our lives, we planned our day as soon as we got in which we thought was a good idea. What I would recommend would be to do the river first since that’s what takes most of your time (approx. 1 hr) and you can do it at your own pace. Keep in mind the times of the activities you wish to do for the day so you can either pay ahead or purchase the activity at its location. Definitely get a map from your hotel or take a picture because you WILL need it!
It is very hot so bring a water bottle, there are many water dispensers all around the park so you can keep refilling as you need. Bring hats, portable fans, or anything possible to keep yourself cool.
Bring plenty of sunscreen as you will keep reapplying after your water adventures!
The restaurants were all over the place so you didn’t have to walk far if you got hungry. We ate at restaurant Jalisco, (there was a small wait as it seemed everyone got hungry at the same time) and enjoyed the live female mariachi band.
The night show starts at 7 pm but give yourself time to walk there and get snacks and drinks. Get some cold snacks because it WILL GET WARM inside. Once inside the theater is huge try to sit towards the bottom as it becomes hard to see from so high and it doesn’t help that the screens are lifted so you can’t read anything as the lights will be in the way. We sat near the Dance of the Flyers so we got a great view.

When booking this tour I was absolutely adamant that I was staying for the evening show and paying for the plus package. Having done it before I knew this was worth it. Excellent food, priority access, prime location of lockers etc.

We also opted to pay for SeaTrek and the 7 course dinner with the show at $75 and $90 respectively. The dream experiences are expensive but it depends if you have ever done anything like this before and if you value the memories. SeaTrek was amazing, the dinner st the show was not. Poor food, limited drinks and definitely not worth $90 each in my opinion.

There is so much to see in the park, lots of walking is required and I'd advise taking swimming shoes as it makes life so much easier.

Overall an amazing but expensive day where everything was worthwhile with the exception of the dinner. The show itself is fantastic.

Long day if staying for the show - pick up was 0645 and we got back to our hotel at 2245.

We took 3 tickets x caret plus (entrances, meals and show).
We arrived there at 10 a.m. and apart from the river which was magnificent, the activities included were really not great.
A lot of activities that seem cool cost money and are very expensive.
At 4 p.m. we had toured what was included and we left without seeing the show which seemed very disappointed and disgusted to have paid so much for nothing.
For me it's a tourist trap.
Very disappointing excursion.

This one of a few places that i have experienced that i can say that my money spend was worth it. I highly recommend the “plus” option because you will not have to worry for lunch , the buffet is really good !! Plenty of food and variety. I choose to buy the picture package ( 2 people cost 60 dollars) and you will be walking through the park and cameras will be available just scan your wristband and say chesse!! I also booked another activity but all this is optional!! And i know that i lot of people wont like to stay all in the park especially if you are traveling with kids. But the night show is spectacular!! This is a must!!. The only thing i will improve in this park is make easier how to navigating the park. Even following the colored stone in the floor this place is a maze!!

This place is so huge that you would probably need two days to see it all. We loved everything we encountered, including the SeaTrek with stingrays which I highly recommend! Unfortunately since we were still adjusting to the climate we found ourselves worn out before we could make it all the way to the dinner show but luckily for us there was a bus at 4 for those who didnt want to stay until 8. We're sad that we didnt make it to the show but grateful regardless and feel we got our moneys worth.
