Parque Marino del Pacifico Reviews

A very nice place to spend time with the family and learn a lot about our natural resources, besides being a space facilitated for other instances that allow the citizen and integral development of women and people who request it.

Excellent project for species in rescue for human damage

Beautiful, variety of marine species. Accessible for people with disabilities. The food is delicious.

Excellent place to go as a family, you learn a lot from the Costa Rican marine nature.

The atracviones are not many but the ones that are are great. What I loved the most was the knowledge and attention of its officials.

There is little to see in the place for what is charged, everything is very clean and tidy.

It was the first time I went and it is very nice, small but clean, quite comfortable and picnic area and also soda, my daughters really enjoyed the pool and the fountain.

Pacific Marine Park, 500 meters east of Cruise Ship Pier, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
The Pacific Marine Park created by Law 8065, with the objective of promoting sustainable human development of both the coast and the Pacific coast, through education and recreation, the conservation of marine biodiversity, tourism activities with ecological content and research and development of alternative productive options to extractive fishing.


It is a place to visit as a family, excellent for children since otherwise it is a little difficult to have the opportunity to see so many marine species, turtles and lizards so closely. Promotes the care we must take care of and preserve the different species
I think it lacks space, that animals are in a very small place, sharks or crocodiles and other species are overcrowded.

Its outdoor facilities, the tour can be done in about 30 and 45 min. The tour is under your responsibility since the only thing you get when entering is a small general map of the attraction.
The aquarium is small and with few species.
It has a pond with rays and sharks which are very close to people, which causes them to be touched with the risk of accidents.

Within the facilities we can find a small playground that does not look very good, a children's pool and a train that runs through the facilities. In general it is a pleasant experience for those who have never had the opportunity to attend such a place. Let's take care of the facilities so that many enjoy it!

Very beautiful, for those who do not live on the beach

Very nice, educational part of the coconut island interesting, I recommend hearing it to visit comfortable price

Very nice place, it lacks a bit of maintenance. A beautiful aquarium

Very nice place. It is a nice opportunity to connect with sea creatures and understand the importance of their conservation. You can also learn about how to contribute to such conservation.

Super extraordinary something out of the ordinary I loved everything something different

You definitely notice an incredible improvement and the work you are doing in education and rescue is very good

Incredible place ! A great option to go with family!

It is a place not very big, but very well maintained. The attention is very friendly and has several species of fish

Facilities with very little staff and lack of information in the fish tanks, but still it is a pleasant atmosphere and something different.

Hello, I am a student at a school that will make a trip here this is what I mentioned before going but they could open the expeditions earlier

It is worth knowing, it is seen that they try to take care of the place, but it lacks more support.

The place is not bad, but it needs to redesign and improve the infrastructure.

Beautiful place, I loved interacting with the rays! A very familiar, educational and welcoming place, you are eager to return!

Very little variety of fish, in years nothing has changed

Inside all good, on the outside there is a lot of garbage. The municipality should have a constant cleaning plan

The truth is lacking in care and many things are closed and overly charged to foreigners almost 3 times what a national

Slightly run down and a not so large selection of sea animals. Still nice to look at

The aquarium is very beautiful but the rest of the place lacks a variety of animals .... one of each and few species .... It is a place that I hope the Ticos begin to visit as very few people do ...

Good place for kids and adults. Although more for children. It is an interactive place with great teachings to take care of our environment

A nice place for children to learn about marine animals.

Very beautiful, it has animals that I had not seen before

Beautiful place it hurts that you have it very neglected

Very nice place, I recommend it for children and adults. Excellent park to visit with the family

It's important to clarify that this is not exactly an aquarium. This place is similar to an aquarium since it has sea life, but all the animals and species have been rescued from worse outdoors environment. So: the price you as national pay I think feels expensive (not for tourist apparently) if you go with your family and stuff, but it's because you are contributing for fauna maintenance.
You can bring your own food and you will have places where to sit and eat as a picnic day (good to rest in the hottest hours in El Puerto)
The place is not super big. You can spend 1hr or so.
Parking available

In total abandonment they should return the marine life they have to the sea, it's a pity

Really nice. You learn a lot about ocean life in Costa Rica

Very good new fish tanks. But, there are areas where the air conditioning was removed.

Nice but as dirty and abandoned.
It lacks a little more love and investment.

Excellent place. The fish tanks super clean, and everything very neat. Very friendly staff. But the soda a terrible attention.

It is a cozy place, safe for children and also has a place of soda with cheap prices and not compared to the prices of the tour tourists apart from the quality of food and aquariums

Small but nicely maintained and a variety of dishes, turtles , crocodiles and sharks
