Great All Day Excursion
Second time visiting and Xcaret never fails to impress. It was a great all day excursion that mixes fun with cultural exposure. My 8yr old loves it.

A "Don't Miss It" experience!
It's one of the most amazing experiences I've had in the Playa Del Carmen area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going the Excaret Parque, you will be so glad you did!

Xcaret plus Mom and daughter trip
It is a lovely and clean theme park. Highlights were the amazing birds, the Aquarium, the horse show, the unesco show, the grand evening performance and relaxation at the beach area. Lunch buffet at Jalisco restaurant was fantastic. The dishes were very tasty and the desserts were plentiful. Service was excellent.

Great options for adventurous families
We went to Xplor park and the Chichen Itza Deluxe tours. Both were outstanding. Tour guides were excellent, transportation was safe and comfortable, food was good. Xplor park is a great adventure day!

Xcaret Park
Excellent attraction for everyone. Need plenty of time to see it all, so arrive as early as possible. To cap it all go to the “Mexico Espectacular” show it’s a must watch to end your day!!!

Loved it!
Stay for the show, it really is incredible. The plus package was so worth it. My girlfriend and I had an incredible time. Be prepared to walk alot though, we hit 23k steps.

VIP dinner not worth it
Everything was great but the vip dinner was way too pricey for what you get. You’re paying almost 100 usd per person to get a one bite maybe a bite and half per plate. Also the waiter was very pushy and demanding for a tip as I was trying to reach for my bag and kept harassing. If he wasn’t too pushy i would’ve left a bigger tip.

Xcaret is nice but the...
Xcaret is nice but the bus on the way to this tour was overcrowded which made the 2 hour ride miserable. As mentioned in other reviews watch what’s included in your price. There are a lot of extra fees once you’re in the park. Despite my negative comments I do think it’s worth seeing.

Great day!
Amazing experience. The only complaint I have is the park doesn't sell beer/wine. It's a small and nit picky complaint, but after all day at the park it would have been nice to have a cold adult beverage. The night show was amazing though!!

People Also Ask
Do you need to book Xcaret tickets in advance?
No, you don’t need to prebook your Xcaret admission tickets: you can buy your pass on the day at the door. However, if you buy tickets online at least seven days before your visit, you’ll get a discount. Plus, prebooking guarantees your entry—as Xcaret has limited capacity—and helps you avoid lines.
Does Xcaret admission include food?
No, a standard Xcaret admission ticket doesn’t include food. You’re not allowed to take food inside the park, so you’ll need to budget to eat at Xcaret’s food outlets. An Xcaret Plus ticket includes a buffet lunch, a beer, and non-alcoholic drinks at select park restaurants, plus other perks.
What is included in the Xcaret Plus ticket?
The Xcaret Plus ticket gives you everything standard admission does—including access to 50 Xcaret attractions such as rivers, beaches, pools, and jungle trails— as well as a buffet lunch, a beer, and non-alcoholic drinks at select restaurants, and access to Plus dressing rooms, restrooms, lockers, and snorkeling gear.
What should I do first at Xcaret?
Start by floating along Xcaret’s underground rivers, past jungles and caves. Doing this first gives you time to enjoy other activities at your leisure. Perhaps attend a Voladores and Flying Eagles show; view turtles and manatees; visit the beach, pools, and Mayan villages; or watch an Espectacular show.
How many days do you need in Xcaret?
Two days is ideal. There’s so much to do at Xcaret that squeezing everything into one day is hard without rushing. Two days gives you time to experience the three underground rivers, relax on the beach, see all the wildlife and shows, and explore ancient Mayan sites.
Are there lockers in Xcaret?
Yes, you can rent lockers at Xcaret. They’re near the entrance and can fit two small-medium backpacks, plus some small belongings. Locker hire is US$5.99 per day, with a returnable US$10 deposit. If you buy an Xcaret Plus admission ticket, day-long locker hire is included.
