Destination Mazatlan: Attractions for Families

Families who already own timeshares in Mazatlan know that most of the vacation properties are destinations within themselves-with swimming pools, organized poolside activities, restaurants and nightclubs, various sports and fitness options, spa services and more.
For example, folks who buy into the El Cid Vacation Club have annual access to at least three different El Cid resorts in Mazatlan, all with some amazing amenities. Kids have fun frolicking in the man-made caves and slides in the multiple swimming pools, Mom can easily book an on-site massage through a friendly concierge, and Dad can play up to 27 holes of golf at three different resort courses. At the end of the day everyone can gather together to watch the entertainment staff put on a nightly song-and-dance revue.
And when it’s time to venture off Mazatlan’s timeshare properties, there’s plenty for families to do in this bustling resort town on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Consider the half-day city sightseeing tour that stops at Old Town to watch the famous Mexican cliff divers jump from a perch high above the ocean into crashing waves below. Families who want to bypass the bus tour can stop by the cliff-diving platform at lunchtime or in the late afternoon to watch the show.
Many snorkeling outfitters offer catamaran rides to nearby Deer Island for snorkeling, kayaking and the opportunity to get pulled on an inflatable “banana boat.” The crews on these excursions are typically ultra friendly, with plenty of advice on local restaurants and bars and other sightseeing excursions. The trips usually offer an all-you-can-drink bar on board (with juice, soda and water for the kids), and include a Mexican lunch once you reach the island.
Two other kid-friendly attractions: MazAgua, Mazatlan’s water park, featuring water slides, tub rides and a wave pool. And Acuario Mazatlan, with dozens of marine-life tanks, live dolphin shows, a small zoo for mammals and a botanical garden.
