Delfinario Sonora — Attraction in Sonora

We went to the Delfinario on a Saturday morning in January. I was disappointed that it was not better attended, because it is a really fun place for families and animal lovers! There were maybe 25 people at the place while we were there. Maybe if billboards were placed at the exits of Highway 15, it would get more notice?

Not very professional quality and too pricey if you ask me. The addition ticket includes a sea lion show. Over all I...

We were there today and had a wonderful time. It was the experience of a lifetime! Pay the extra and swim with the dolphins- you will never forget it! Fernando, the dolphin trainer, is absolutely amazing! He is worth his weight in gold! He was patient and educational in working with my daughter with disabilities- she was floating with happiness when we left! Thank you to the whole team!

If you are coming for all of the experiences - bring some snacks! There is a 30 min wait between each experience and...
