Gran Acuario Mazatlán
Gran Acuario Mazatlán Mar de Cortés
Opened in 2022, one of the largest aquariums in Latin America, focused on marine life of the Sea of Cortez.
The aquarium stands in Central Park and was designed by Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao. It displays hundreds of species from the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), including sharks, rays, sea turtles and coral reef fish. The large main tanks and underwater tunnel are the most popular, and there are also research and conservation exhibits. Tickets are more expensive for foreign visitors, so buying online in advance is recommended. A visit takes about 2 to 3 hours and suits families. It is about 10 minutes by car from the Old Town.
