Located within the La Isla Shopping Village in Cancun, the Acuario Interactivo offers visitors the unique opportunity to interact with marine life forms in all their diverse beauty on an intimate and personal level.
The aquarium is divided into several sections, each of which has an array of activities to offer visitors of all ages. The interactive collection of exhibits lets you view over a hundred different kinds of species... from stingrays, to sea urchins, sea turtles and conches, the aquarium is home to some of the rarest and most exotic species of marine life. You can also take a dip into the dolphin-infested waters of the tank where you can play with and pet these gentle, amazingly intelligent mammals and discover their way of life over 55 minutes of unbridled excitement. What's more, you can even pull out all the stops and opt for the Advanced Program where you can let yourself be propelled through the waters by your new-found friends.
And if you've always wondered about the fearsome ways of some of the most magnificent creatures of the blue, then you can simply hop into a cage with a diving trainer and state-of-the-art equipment and literally have the sharks eat out of your hands! The aquarium does not require you to know how to swim and dive to embark on this one-of-a-kind feeding adventure. The aquarium also has an in-house diver who will be most delighted to answer any questions you might have about the Caribbean sea-life and even throw in some valuable insights of his own. You can also visit the Macaws, which are famous as some of the most inquisitive and amusing birds. And for those quick bites between aquarium explorations, stop by at the Thai restaurant for some exquisite fare, or visit the Jugo de Limon for a variety of Mexican seafood delicacies. There is also a boutique where you can stop by for remarkable aquarium-themed memorabilia, which range from apparel to curios, which also make excellent gift ideas.
The Acuario Interactivo is open from 10 am to 8 pm, all through the week. The dolphin interactive dive is priced at about $80 per person, while you can feed the sharks for just $40. And if you're only looking to browse through the aquarium and all it has to offer, general admission is charged at $12.
