Better organization I attended an arts event and there were few staff members assisting and facilitating entry. The few staff members did what was within their capabilities.
You can walk with parrots, toucan, flamingo, and peacocks. The view is amazing and you can learn the history in the historical house. The whale museum is informative with hands-on activities for the children. But do not miss the chocolate ceremony! This was the highlight of the trip and yes she speaks both in Spanish and English. It is a high vibrational ceremony with great intention.
We enjoyed this place. Staff seemed to care about the animals. The building itself is well kept. And the view, as others have said, is great. And a walk or easy ride to el centro caps a nice afternoon. The ceremony could use some english, or at least, a little card so you could follow along. The zip line ends here, btw. Genuinely unique experience, overall.
we were in mazatlan for a couple weeks and spent a couple hours checking this out and it was pretty cool. you take a funicular up to the top where we walked through the museum which has a video sort of showing the history of mazatlan which was neat, walked through a very nice garden, went through a long elevated pathway that goes past a huge birdcage and some iguanas and turtles on the way to the whale museum which is also quite interesting. there's a restaurant at the top of the building, I didn't have any food but the beer was a really fair price and overall just a great spot to enjoy the view and relax. I'd recommend checking it out for sure if you're in the area!
About 10 minutes from the cruise port. Very nice near the cliff and beautiful view of the funicular. We enjoyed walking in the trails seeing parrots and iguanas.
It was a wonderful way to spend the day. The whale museum, the bird sanctuary and the cocoa ritual were all fabulous.
Great views, nice landscape, easy walking paths, good historical video to start before the cable car ride. The Mumba whale museum is so well done. Joyed thenrescue bird astuary. Nice bar/cafe. A great way to spend 2-3 hours at a reasonable cost.
A must visit while in Mazatlan! Beautiful,clean and the bird sanctuary is awesome.
The first video was informative. The cocoa experience was very interesting. Noisy but colorful bird sanctuary. Turtle and iguana area had no water which I found odd. Lunch upstairs was great but pricy. Dinosaur exhibit was small but interesting. A tram ride up and down from the street.
They lack will explain better, we bought our ticket for the tour in the restaurant and lousy attention from the lady who sold it to us, she did not explain anything, neither where we had to start the tour nor where to get off, basically we had to discover everything on our part since she did not give us even a previous charge and ready, lousy service, would never return, the place is very nice but in the restaurant area they need more customer service, the staff outside restaurant very friendly.
