Crococun Zoo
A hands-on small zoo near Puerto Morelos where guided visits let you get up close to crocodiles, spider monkeys and deer. It is well suited to families with children.
Crococun began as a crocodile farm and is now a conservation-focused zoo centered on native species. Visits are by guided tour only, lasting about 1.5-2 hours. You can hold a baby crocodile, feed the deer, let a spider monkey climb onto your shoulder, and see snakes, parrots and a giant crocodile. Admission is about US$40-50. The zoo lies beside Highway 307 between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, about 30 minutes by car from Cancun, and it can be combined with snorkeling at Puerto Morelos and the Ruta de los Cenotes on the same day.
