Vallarta-Nayarit Water Parks Welcome Families with Wet & Wild Fun

Sometimes the beach just isn’t enough to satisfy the whole family’s need for wet & wild thrills. That’s what Puerto Vallarta’s two water parks are for, full of high-speed water slides, lazy rivers, splash pools, and interactive dolphin encounters.

Refreshing Fun & Dolphin Encounters at Vallarta-Nayarit Water Parks

Everyone loves the beach, but where are the slides? Change up your wet and wild recreation with a day at one of the family-friendly water parks in Vallarta-Nayarit (conveniently across the street from each other). Best of all, in addition to towering slides, lazy rivers, and sprawling pools, these famed facilities also feature animal shows and encounters with the ocean’s greatest charmers – seals, sea lions, and of course, dolphins!

Home to Dolphin Discovery Puerto Vallarta – one of the most renowned dolphin facilities in the Mexican Pacific – this park is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. If you want to swim with the dolphins ($89-$159 USD) or sea lions ($75-$99 USD), your admission to the park is included in the rate. From racing down winding tubes on rafts to careening down steep drops on your back, there are a total of ten slides, along with a lazy river, kid’s area, zip line, obstacle course, and rock wall for climbing.

Open daily, 10-5pm.

Adults: $25 USD

Ages 4-11: $19

Guests are also welcome to bring their own food for the day (just no alcohol or glass bottles).
