In Acapulco, water parks, theme parks, and children's parks provide visitors with even more fun. There's everything from swimming pools with artificial waves to extreme fairground rides, aquariums, and zoos.

Most Acapulco recreational parks are for families, and children will find many activities designed just for them. There are also options that allow learning about the ecosystem by getting to know it up close—and even stroking marine mammals like dolphins and seals.

Aquatic shows in water parks like CiCi Acapulco Mágico and Mágico Mundo Marino let visitors observe different species of exotic birds, enjoy marine life shows, and slide down toboggan chutes.

The city also has ecological reserves and natural parks, like El Velero, with themes based on the marvels of unspoiled nature.
