There are several theme parks and amusement parks all over the country where the whole family can have fun. If you wish, you can see Mexico’s vibrant culture in its original form. With that sorted out, let’s take a look at some of the best theme parks in Mexico.
Xcaret Park
Since its opening in 1990, Xcaret Park has offered a variety of activities from water fun to eco-archaeological adventures for all ages. The park is home to several ecosystems including a coral reef aquarium, butterfly garden, rainforest trail and many others showcasing the park’s flora and fauna. Jaguars, manatees, flamingos, deer and tapirs are some of the animals you can see up close. The children’s world at Xcaret Park offers plenty of fun water activities. Chaak, the Mayan water god, inspired the creation of underground rivers, lagoons and beautiful natural seawater pools. You will also have the opportunity to take part in a Mexican cultural celebration that will leave you indifferent to the vibrant culture that you will experience in this park.
Xenotes theme park
Xenotes Park will allow you to enjoy a sense of adventure as you explore the cenotes, the most beautiful jewels of the Yucatan Peninsula. At Xenotes you can kayak, ziplining and rappel.
The adventure begins with a rappel down a rope that leads you into the cave of the cenote, after which you descend the ziplane into its waters and jump into the open sea below. You can then take a kayak trip through the local flora and fauna to better understand them. There is something for everyone in Xenotes to do.

You’ll fly over the whole park on a zipline, and an interactive swimming kenote will give you a chance to cool off before the action starts. After all that zombie shooting, you’ll really earn the food you deserve.
Six Flags of Mexico
The killer whale, portrayed in the movie Free Willy as one of the main attractions, brought the park 15 minutes of fame. People from all over the country learned about Six Flags Mexico.
