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

On our recent vacation to Cancun, my wife and I knew that we wanted to experience swimming with the dolphins. We researched a few places and to be honest, they all sounded the same to us. However, when we arrived in Cancun, we booked a dolphin swim at the Wet N Wild in Cancun. After looking at the small and... more

Rainy day in Cancun, so we thought we should do some shopping. Went to La Isla and stumbled across the aquarium. Paid the entrance fee (about $14US) and spent a nice hour or so looking at the fish and sea creatures (stroking the shark and the ray was quite a thrill). Dolphin displays are also worth seeing. Finally plucked-up the... more

Take care when you buy an all inclusive trip since there are a lot of agencies involved in this process and at the end if something goes wrong no one is responsible for your problem. This was my case when my scheduled visit to the aquarium was cancelled, in my case I was able to change my fligth later (I... more
