Guide to the Gran Acuario Mazatlán
The spectacular Gran Acuario Mazatlán Mar de Cortés (Great Aquarium Sea of Cortez) stands celebrated as the single largest, most advanced aquarium facility in Latin America.
Spanning a massive architectural footprint of over 50,000 square meters and representing a major capital development investment of over 70 million dollars, this world-class institution specializes exclusively in showcasing the rich, unique marine life profiles endemic to the Sea of Cortez—historically dubbed by Jacques Cousteau as "The Aquarium of the World."
The architectural complex features 3 state-of-the-art levels housing 19 immersive indoor and outdoor marine exhibit zones. The massive Oceanic Window tank holds over 2.5 million liters of saltwater, displaying giant manta rays, schools of fish, and sharks. The venue has successfully integrated the highly popular Sea Lion educational exhibition arena alongside a specialized Humboldt Penguin habitat sanctuary.
Physical Geographic Address
Avenida Leonismo Internacional #2, Colonia Tellería, 82148 Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico.
The aquarium complex anchors the scenic waterfront borders of the city's expansive Parque Central (Central Park) ecosystem. It rests situated just a few short blocks inland from the middle stretches of the main oceanfront Malecón boardwalk.
How to Arrive via Public Transit
Independent travelers can effortlessly access the gates by boarding a green Sábalo Centro municipal transit bus running directly down the Malecón boulevard. Request to disembark at the key coastal intersection of Avenida del Mar and Avenida de los Deportes. From there, enjoy an easy, flat 5-to-10 minute walk inland along Avenida de los Deportes for a few blocks before making a left-hand turn onto Avenida Leonismo Internacional. Alternatively, any local pulmonía or eco-taxi cab can deliver your group directly to the front entrance promenade.
