Put this on the must do list - Very high-tech and awesome whale museum with authentic skeletons, geckos turtles Koi peacocks lots of animals to see two museums are actually included in the ticket which runs about 20 $25 US depending on the currency rate and your age If you’re coming by the port, it’s about a two dollar Uber ride

Observatorio Mazatlán - A very nice place, to know the history of Mazatlan, has beautiful views of the beach and the port. All the staff are super friendly and care to let you know everything this place has to offer. My children enjoyed it very much as it is very interactive.

It would be better if the staff gave the tour because if it's a little confusing where to go In the large area it enters - It would be better if the staff gave the tour because if it is a bit confusing where to go In the large area the entrance could install a seating area with benches or some type of seat to enjoy the view Make the menu even wider if only of drinks in the cart selling and accept cards
