What to do and see in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula: The Best Zoos & Aquariums

June 17, 2021 Chanda Heide

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

Croco Cun Zoo

A totally awesome conservationist interactive adventure zoo. Touch, hold or feed wild local species.

Reviewed By Pathfinder802877

Only a short distance from our hotel bit it would be worth a trip if staying in Cancun. Small zoo/sanctuary which is visited in around 1 hour with a guide, you get to hold many of the animals and walk in the crocodile enclosure which is for me, a unique experience. Finally get to feed the deer and meet Mexican hairless dogs - a bit of everything for animal lovers. Value for money for the experience and all proceeds go into maintaining this small operation.

Very nice Aquarium....not huge but there is a lot to see. They have a dive with Sharks, also a really cool dolphin experience as well. Great for kids too. If you are looking for something to do it is worth checking out. Make sure you go during the day.

It is remarkable how the city has this attraction FREE for its citizens. The animals appear to be well cared for and there is lots of shade. A good place to go for a walk.

Tortugranja

Reviewed By RenatasBigAdventures - Atlanta, United States

This was one of the best deals on the island! It was only 30 pesos per person, which is about $1.50USD. This is a nice sea turtle hatchery. It was very clean when we went there and the animals seemed very well taken care of. There is one large house with several tanks and the walls are lined with other fish tanks. In an enclosed area are buried clutches of sea turtle eggs and there is a very large area with a pier you can walk down to see the larger turtles. For an additional 30 pesos you can purchase a little bag of turtle food and feed all but the tiny hatchlings. Great experience, great conservation effort!!
