Terrible place, the animals look sad and many of them look sick. We were present when a fish jumped out of the tank and died. There are no labels explaining what kind of fish are in the tanks, so not really didactic for children. They are remodeling and making a lot of noise so the fish are stressed. This place should be closed.

Pretty place. I think it needs maintenance tho. It would definitely be better if they let you go back and observe at your own pace

Its a bit expensive but its worth it if you want to see big sharks! I liked the section with the free birds (tucan and parrots) but in general its a bit small. Recomended for families with children! There are various places where you can take a professional photoshot and if you want you can buy your photos at the exit.

A nice experience, I'm glad there were no dancing dolphins when we visited. The fish, sharks and jellyfish section is great and very impressive. I felt quite sad for the penguins, otter, turtles and manatees as there areas were quite small. We spent a couple of hours walking round.

It's a nice trip overall, not that long but with a lot of species to see. Ranging from birds, turtles, reef fish, open water fish, sharks, rays, corals, penguins, manatees, jellyfish, etc. If you have questions, staff is happy to answer them they are very knowledgeable. When I visited, the dolphin section was under maintenance, just bear that in mind. Also, the facilities are wheelchair friendly!

Nice aquarium for the most part. Loved the penguin stand and display. No dolphin show available now most likely due to pandemic. The souvenir shop is very expensive, so won’t bother buying anything there. You can find same merchandise on the street for half the price. Overall, a good place to visit while visiting Veracruz .

It's an interesting experience because you meet some strange, curious and beautiful animals Some of them are enormous! I recommend visiting it, It's an opportunity to know a part of Mexico's biodiversity.

It’s unfortunately really not worth the money nor the time. Extremely disappointed about the experience and concerned about the care given to the fishes. The whole tour took us in total only 30 minutes — to show you how small it was with poor/inexistant descriptions! The aquarium was packed with people and there is no regulation of the flow of people at the entrance. As a result, it resonated a lot in the building and throughout the visit, making it stressful and extremely noisy. All the plaques and explanations look really old and are poor. Very little ventilation and it felt very hot and suffocating. On top of that, tanks look old, small and not well-maintained as it should to offer fishes a reasonable place to live and swim outside their natural elements. Not recommended at all! PS: apparently the place lost funding from before. It definitely lacks investments to make it a great experience for the fishes and the people.

It was smaller than expected. Very clean. Reasonably priced. Good for something to do for a little while. No shows. if your looking for a large showing of sea stuff don't go. U will be disappointed

Beautiful Aquarium! We had a great time at the place, it was very budget friendly, costumer service was good, and had a great variety of sea animals! Also had a few land animals as well, at the entrance! Very family friendly environment. The place does not come with it's own parking area, which will require you to park in the streets near it. Depending on how busy it may be, will determine how far you may have to park, and walk. But it's worth it! I definitely reccomend the place! They do take credit/debit cards here as well! I will say, do use the bathroom before entering because it's a bit of a walk to go, once you're inside.

What we managed to see was rather cool, but It was too crowded, it's definitely not made to handle the crowd that came for the Easter break. Also, we were unlucky and it was under reparations, so no dolphins, octopuses or medusas for us 😢.

Water is literally perfect temperature to swim.

Was a old fort tour. Did have alot of people there and had to park about 200 yards away. Interesting but lots of walking in the fort and museum.

Interesting historical site. But perhaps next time i will go by my own. I took the tranvia at malecon, there are 11am and 1pm roundtrip tours for 100 pesos. Once arrived a tour guy charged 100 pesos but we were told it was 60 pesos. Tour guy told us it was more because group of 7 person was small group that why he increased the price. Don't expect receipt. He offered only 1 hour tour inside the Ulua fort and after that he will take you directly to the exit. Tour guide was in a hurry and had not patience for photos. Read before you go and skip the tour guide. Entrance it's 65 pesos. 60 years and over; 3 yr or younger and teachers are free of charge. Place is beautiful, although many areas are still closed due to covid. Entrance and travia service is good. Tour guide is bad.

A very unique defence fort. Must visit

Fortress under severe re-modeling-disturbing for an historic though not fundamental way.

Astounding piece of history. This complex is older than the United States itself, as it is one of the first european forts that was established in the Americas. I'd recommend a guided tour to really dive into its past.

Amazing colonial-era fortress that has been reused throughout the centuries. Guided tours are highly recommended as the tour guides have a lot of insider info.

Historical site in big disrepair but worth visiting while in Veracruz. It is a shame that this place has been literally abandoned and it is slowly decaying and falling apart. The views of the port from here are breathtaking. Transportation is very limited to get to this place. I used a taxi cab that charged 100 pesos each way. There is also a tram that departs from the Mercado de Artesanias that costs 50 pesos round trip. The entrance fee is 85 pesos and free with INAPAM credentials.

Get the guided tour and learn about filming of Romancing the Stone there. Also find out where the cool acoustics are in the chapel.

Very interesting place. Tickets are around $85 pesos per adult. I recommend getting a tour guide (our charged $50 additional per person) to tell you the story. It is incredible how much has happened here. We took a trolley from the artisan market and paid $100 round trip per person. Everything is outside so consider sunblock, a hat and water.

At least 450 years old, the existence of this fort predates the founding of Boston. The architecture corresponds to the military models of the time. It might not be as well preserved as other castle/forts in the Caribbean, but it certainly is worth your visit. I have 2 small children, and we found plenty to enjoy as a family in our 2 hour-long visit. You can hire private tour guides at the entrance, but there is also plenty of information online to inform you as you search its many nooks and crannies. It's well worth the 60 pesos entry fee.

San Juan De Ulua This is a great option for sightseeing and entertainment.👍🏻😇

Great historic fort with a lot to see. A pity that it's been allowed to degrade so much. Still, there seems to be a lot of work going into renovations of at least the core structures. Hopefully when I come back I can view this historic treasure in it's full glory. Definitely worth a visit. I would recommend the guided tour as well, there are a few English speaking guides.

San Juan de Ulua, Veracruz’s little gem. I recommend visiting this attraction. The tourist bus will take you there for $50 pesos ( $2.25 ) and the cost to enter is $60 pesos ($3 dollars). It’s an amazing attraction and as cheap as it gets. You’ll get the option to pay a little bit more for a guided tour or you can just freely walk around the premises. Bring water, for sure. Sun block and a hat wouldn’t hurt. If by any chance you forget, worry not, plenty of vendors outside the Fort selling everything you’ll need, CHEAP. Definitely visit. Worth it.

Nothing special.

Very big, beautiful museum of the port history, wars to defend Mexico, and the major characters of history. There are interactive technology displays and a childrens area. Everything is in Spanish. I was told by my local travel partner we would have to hire our own local tour guide for English explanation, so I am not sure if English audio, brochures, or assistance is available. You could easily spend 2 hours.

Interesting museum - plenty to see. Sadly zero information in English. So if like me your Spanish is confined to tacos, coffee, beer and Si Claro, your visit won’t be that informative.

Beautiful museum! Lots of great information! I definitely recommend visiting this museum if you're in Veracruz!

Most helpful young man gave me infomation in English. This is a well run aquarium where the birds and the sea creatures and dolphins are cared for so well. Loved my visit there today. The dolphin show was great and the instructors showed so much passion for their dolphins. An awesome experience.

The Museum is worth the visit, the buiding and items that are in exposition are awesome and full of history. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice museum worth a visit! Well organized and free on Wednesdays.

For the best experience it is preferable to could read Spanish, as a very minimal information is in English. Without that Google Lens can help you alot. And It was with free entrance under our visit

Nice experience. Although it was hot- they really should turn down the AC!!! Great pictures. I have been wanting to go for years and finally was able to go in Mexico because in the states it's too expensive!

Not too bad. Fun enough to pass through- some global celebrities and politicians but mostly Mexican sportspersons and ex presidents. Cant say the quality was too great either. Some hollywood celebrities looked nothing like the real ones and the british royal family was nearly unrecognisable if not for the placards. Frida Kahlo, Diego Riviera and Mahatma Gandhi were quite good. Donald Trump at the entrance seemed to be a popular photo opportunity.

Great museum!

Nice place but not many wax personalities

Amazing place. Stay alert on the horror zone ^_^

This wax museum has several wax figures of famous people as well as some of those from popular sitcoms and movies.

Not very much of a variety. Very basic and not worth the buck.

Needs a lot of reconditioning

Museo, restaurant

(Translated by Google) This place is the one that seemed most worthwhile to me of my visit to Veracruz, the guide explained very well, you learn a lot, in addition to the fact that the ship is magnificent, somewhat neglected due to neglect of the state and the town but to know, learn and taking good photos is fine, the cost per adult is 60 pesos, the tour takes around 1 hour, the guide takes you through various parts of the ship explaining many interesting things, nearby there is a beach in case your plan later is to go to the sea for a while. while, our guide was Mr. José, very kind and knowledgeable, highly recommended (Original) Este lugar es el que más me pareció que valió la pena de mi visita a Veracruz, el guía explicó muy bien, se aprende bastante, además de que el buque es magnífico, algo descuidado por abandono del estado y el pueblo pero para conocer, aprender y tomarse buenas fotos esta bien, el costo por adulto es de 60 pesos el recorrido tarda alrededor de 1 hora el guía te lleva por varias partes del barco explicandote muchas cosas interesantes, cerca hay una playa por si tu plan luego es ir al mar un rato, nuestro guía fue el señor José muy amable y conocedor, recomendadisimo

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum with many exhibition rooms, whose entrance fee is $45 for adults and $30 for children, with free admission on Wednesdays, it is interactive, well maintained and can be explored calmly in an approximate time of three hours. It is located in the downtown Veracruz three blocks from the Venustiano Carranza lighthouse (Original) Un museo interesante con muchas salas de exposición, cuyo costo de entrada es de $45 adultos y $30 niños, siendo los miércoles la entrada gratuita, es interactivo bien cuidado y que se recorre con calma en un tiempo aproximado de Tres horas, se ubica en el centro de Veracruz a tres calles del faro Venustiano Carranza

(Translated by Google) The first and to date only ship museum in Mexico, this interactive museum costs $46 pesos and includes a guided tour with a complete explanation.

(Original) Es un lugar increíble! Lleno de historia y muy bonitas instalaciones. El museo es interactivo también.Tiene una cafetería adentro. Altamente recomendado.

Very cute square. Worth a visit and grabbing a coffee or bite to eat to people watch.

This is a must see as it is the heart and soul of Veracruz. Very festive yet peaceful gathering place. On Friday evenings, they have a 20 member brass band playing that you can dance to or just listen.

Most beautiful place to be absolutely gorgeous Have to be here to endulzar el tiempo saboriando un buen coffe also they have events of music

We visited Zócalo de Veracruz a couple of times when we stayed in Veracruz. The architecture is really lovely and there is a nice local vibe. One night there was a band and people dancing in the square. Great spot to enjoy the historical centre.

During the day it's very family oriented, but at night, the bands on the streets turns the park into a beautiful night of dancing! I'm glad to be back!

Always a must. Check out Nieves Guero close by especially when it's hot which is always!

So nice place to visit in the evening. Currently there are pre-Christmas events and a lot of people enjoy this time

Very nice place in Veracruz downtown. It's worth to visit both during the day and at night, specially on Saturday night it gets very crowded, there's live music playing different genres, from Cumbia, Salsa, Norteño, Mariachi, or traditional music from Veracruz, etc... it's both for families or friends who are looking for partying. There are plenty of options to have a drink or eat something. If you are looking for a good coffee spot, right in front of the Cathedral, you'll find "Gran Cafe del Portal" which is also an historic place and according to a taxi driver, the coffee is way better than "El Portal" and "Gran Café de la Parroquia". If you want something cheaper, at night there are spots selling "tacos de guisado", tamales and so on.

Under construction right now so I couldn't view the museum.

3 years in renovation… still CLOSED and nowhere close to being open.

pictures can not be taken in the jewerly collection.

The place is closed for building process

Must see

(Translated by Google) The museum is closed but it is worth knowing the place. Try to respect the signs, because there are people who upload photos where they shouldn't (that includes parents XD) (Original) El museo se encuentra cerrado peor vale la pena conoces el lugar.

(Translated by Google) I haven't entered the museum, but walking around is great. (Original) No he entrado al museo, pero caminar por los alrededores está genial.

Awesome place, you can spend full day in their facilities. There are activities if you like strong emotions or if you have small children. Place IA safe, and the staff is always protecting people. You will have a lot of fun.

This place was a small water park and that is ok for me. Business was not to busy. They do have a recommend dress code picture posted along with price which was very reasonable for the size. They will not let you bring drinks in but you can bring a bottle. Didn't make sense to me but ok. You can not ware cotton shirts on the rides. Wish I would have known that first but no information on that until I got there. Still is ok with me. My only problem came toward the end of the day when I made my way to the wave pool and started paying attention to the lifeguards. They were not on point and only 1 life guard at a time for the wave pool and they barely watched the water. That is a BIG NO to me. Out of the 3 different people I saw only 1 was doing his job. If it wasn't for that I would have easily given at least a 4 because baring the shirt and shorts rules which I can follow (had I known) I am sure I would have had more fun.

Very historical and traditional food is excellent nightlife is excellent.

Great place for kids and day rest

This water park surpassed my expectations. We came on a cloudy day and at first there were very few visitors. It got busier afterwards but it never felt crowded. The amenities are safe and well looked after and there are plenty of things to do. I'm not a person who is easily convinced to go to slides but I had a lot of fun and so did my kids. Also, the stuff is exceptionally friendly and well trained to deal with different situations (my kid got very nervous on one of the big slides). I would recommend considering getting an anual membership if you are in the area as the price is just marginally different from the day pass, I personally regretted not having bought one.

We came from the United States with our two year old. It is very nice/clean /spacious but they played American music with disgusting lyrics and cuss words. I finally had to ask them to change the music to family friendly music. If you want your kids to listen to cursing the entire day then it’s comfortable. Otherwise expect to hear crude “shaking a** fu** “ nasty cardi b rap music the whole time. Also, you cannot assist your children down slides. Even if they cannot swim they have to go alone. Doesn’t make sense to me. They said it’s a “liability” for us to assist our child.

Great place to spend the day; whether you are going alone, in couple or with family & friends, a lot of fun in any case. I went with friends & family; there are attractions to all ages. We went two days in a row. A lot of fun. Don't miss the boomerango slide with your group, where you can share your experience with another 4 people face to face, and will be watching expressions and fun screams you might have not heard or seen in a while. Don't forget to bring aqua-socks/shoes, which are allowed in most attractions.

400 pesos each enter fee, arrived at 11 am only the pool was open no slides were open ( none ) Only two Slides opened at 1 pm. No food or drinks allowed in. ( Even unopened water ) the food shop didn't open for food untill 12. Complete waste of time and money tickets no refundable

No food from outside is accepted (not even 1 apple for a kid or a fruitmix for a baby!?!?!?!?!) and within the complex you can only buy pizzas and snacks !?!? ... Besides, you can not help small kids on the slides as no adults are accepted on the attractions for kids, what makes the experience very frustrating. Further the attractions are fine but the park is small for the high entry price.

Nice wave pool and slides

We had an amazing time there, is small but very fun. We went on a weekday and it was semi empty, no expensive and nice staff.

Very calm and secluded location, good food, sightseeing, and tourism.

(Translated by Google) I ate at the Uscanga restaurant, highly recommended. Try the small seafood platter, it brings different typical dishes from Veracruz and everything is very delicious. Although there is nothing to see at the foot of the lagoon, you have to make a boat trip. (Original) Comí en el restaurante Uscanga, muy recomendable. Prueben la mariscada chica, trae distintos platillos típicos de Veracruz y muy rico todo. Aunque a pie de la laguna no hay nada que ver, tiene que hacer forzosamente un pase en lancha.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the tour is very beautiful, they explain why the name Mandinga lagoon!!! Without a doubt I would return (Original) Sin duda alguna el recorrido es muy bonito te explican el por qué el nombre de laguna Mandinga!!! Sin duda alguna regresaria

Small restraunt that sits on the beach. Ate inside. Overpriced for shrimp cocktail . Odd color Margarita. Comment from the restraunt that we didn't eat there . Lol. Yes we did. They didn't like the comment.

Had some beer there. A nice place by the sea

Good

Great place near to the beach.

A great local spot to eat!!!

NICE PLACE VERY RELAXING

Ok

Free, there are people waiting to be guides for tips at the entrance. Small but interesting exhibits mainly in Spanish with a few English translations.

Displays, large posters and photos lead the visitor through Veracruz's lively history, including various invasions by the USA and the French. The longer texts are mostly in Spanish but small explanations under displays are given in English and French. There is a fascinating section on mid-1950s social developments, including the founding of a tenants union with mostly women members, and the warm welcome of the Spanish republicans fleeing Franco's regime in 1939. Also impactful for me was learning that the 'danzon' event regularly held in the main park (zócalo)stems from music-loving Caribbean immigrants. Cubans brought their music as well as baseball to this port city, contributing to the local flair. Oh, and there are also some impressive pre-hispanic Olmec carved figures as well as a replica of the 'colossal heads' if you didn't see an original one. A wonderful free museum just minutes from the zócalo.

Free. Hot walking around, some fans on. Kinda interesting. We did like they had items in English so we were able to know what things were which was a nice touch. Recommend going on a cool day.

Beautiful traditional building - square, two levels, glass covered courtyard in the middle. It is a small museum, and it is obvious they do not have a large budget - some of the electronic displays did not work - in fact none of them worked. I was the only visitor at the time. Free entry - Yay!

It's a great museum where you can watch part of the history of the state of Veracruz, you can watch lots of interesting things such as different vestiges of the different cultures that inhabit Veracruz, the only bad thing is that the installations are not in the best conditions.

Good little museum with a very great history of Veracruz. Free entry.

if you want to know Veracruz history, this is the right place. Also amazing old pictures of the city, just love it.

A lovely beach, quiet and deserted in the morning for birding. And a view of the Aztec ruins up on the hill. Tempted to come back later for food and beverage, but that wasn't in the schedule.

Gorgeous and peaceful

Quaint beachside puebla, interestinglandscape all around!

Really nice place to be when there is a soccer game, unfortunately this was not a soccer visit but a COVID-19 Booster shot vaccination. Anyways it was good to be there once again

Older stadium to say the least, but great viewpoints. Not really a bad seat in the house. Enthusiastic crowd, but I did not witness any altercations. Beer 🍻 is reasonable also😉!

I got there for taco reasons and not disappointed, I really like this place for a heavy dinner time. You got to split tour self between your tacon bisness and football game!

Good atmosphere even if the team loses. Price of beer is high, I recommend to drink at the Yepas before the game.

Chula

Great experience of Mexican soccer culture. Party athmosphere before, during and after the game.

Fun stadium to watch games at, and the ambiance is always with high energy!!! check it out, and watch for the flying beer
