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? Price of admission is 180 pesos for adults; very cheap compared to Sea World (etc) in the U.S.. For additional cost, you can get personal dolphin encounters, and photos with dolphins or sea lions. There is a dolphin show, a sea lion show & interaction, viewing areas for these animals, and a fin whale skeleton; plus a small snack bar. Combined with a day at the beach, this would be a memorable experience for any family! From reading about it, I understand that the Delfinario does therapy for kids with various developmental disabilities during the week, and is open to the public on weekends.The animals looked healthy and happy. The caretakers/trainers seem very engaged. We especially enjoyed Maria, who is shown here with Ulises the Sea lion. Enjoyed our experience; and would like to see them add a few more features, such as a tank with regional fish, and a touch tank with tidal creatures, so kids could learn more about the wonderful Sea of Cortez.

La instalación está hermosa, aunque le falta un poco de mantenimiento, ya saben el salitre carcome el metal. Por pandemia cierran el lunes y martes, tienen filtro de seguridad de limpieza de pies, gel para manos, y piden que traiga siempre su cubrebocas puesto. Los show son en las mañanas, por que él sol está bien picosito! Hay un auditorio para el área de lobos marinos y está techado, pero con los delfines solo hay media sombra para el público y las gradas están calientes y si pega el sol! Los animales se ven bien cuidados y entrenados. Hay varios entrenadores con los cuales hacen los shows con ayuda del público también que participa alegremente para recibir el beso de un delfin y una buena empapada de agua. 🤣🤣🤣 Los precios de entrada van desde $90( adultos mayores con credencial) hasta $200. También hay fotos exclusivas con los animales y van desde $250. Venden paquetes de fotos familiares también. Algo que me impresionó mucho fue que el delfinario, se haya creado por el gobierno para brindar además de shows, terapias. Ya saben que los delfines ofrecen sonidos y contacto sanador a quien este con ellos. La terapia va desde $800 y es con cita. El área de souvenirs estaba cerrada así como otros áreas abiertas de esparcimiento. Lleva tu sombrilla, sombrero, bloqueador solar, abanico, bebida hidratante. Está genial para ir con toda la familia. Hay estacionamiento.

I loved Delfinario Sonora! The up close experience with Dolphins and sea wolves are a little pricey, but it's well worth it. My only unsavory comment is that if you buy the up close experiences, you cannot take pictures. A photographer takes pictures of you during the session and then sells them to you *digital copies only* for $10USD a piece, but other than that pleasant experience and breathtaking views!

Beautiful time spent with my family visiting Delfinario. Most of the group speaks spanish and only I dont. However, it was interactive and still informative. I wish there was english translation as it is a tour spot and many spoke English their. I would still give it a 5 star as it is about the experience. Thanks for accompanying my family to a great time and vocation.

The show was great! We had several in our group who also did the interaction with dolphins. They swam with them a lot and even got pushed around the pool by their feet. What an amazing encounter with these beautiful creatures! And at a much more affordable price than in the states. They allowed the rest of us to watch and take pictures and videos.

Really is worth the trip! They don't only offer dolphins as expected, they have a sealion in stock too! (and yes sealion not a seal) It's a great experience and the view itself is amazing! I'll let you figure that one out when you get there. Best. Vacation. Ever.
