Xplor Park Prices: Complete Pricing Guide and How to Save
Xplor Park admission costs $129.99 USD for adults and $64.99 for children (5-11), but booking 21+ days ahead saves 15% (adults drop to $110.49), tickets include all activities (zip-lines, cave rafting, swimming, jungle vehicles), buffet lunch, drinks, lockers, and parking. For a family of four, advance booking saves about $58. Tickets remain valid for one year and can be rescheduled 24 hours before, helpful during unpredictable rainy season. Photo package add-on is $58.99.
Regular Admission Prices
Adults: $129.99 USD
Children (ages 5-11): $64.99 USD
Both ticket types include an open buffet, non-alcoholic drinks, and all the adventure you can handle in one day. Children under 5 enter free but may have restrictions on certain activities due to safety requirements and harness sizing.
Early Booking Discounts
Purchasing tickets online in advance provides significant savings that really add up for families and groups:
7-20 days ahead: 10% off your total
21+ days ahead: 15% off your total
With maximum advance booking, adult tickets drop to approximately $110.49 and children's tickets to $55.24. For a family of four, that's around $58.50 in savings, enough for a really nice dinner in Playa del Carmen. Trust me, I've used those savings for tacos at my favorite spot on 5th Avenue more than once.
What's Included in Admission
Your ticket covers all primary activities: zip lining across two full circuits with multiple runs each, underground river exploration through illuminated caves, cave swimming in crystal-clear cenote waters, and the amphibious vehicle jungle experience. The buffet lunch operates from 11am to 5pm with solid Mexican and international options that are genuinely good, not your typical theme park food.
Non-alcoholic beverages including fresh smoothies from the smoothie bar are available throughout the day, which is essential when you're doing physical activities in tropical heat. Lockers and parking are both complimentary, saving you additional costs you'd face at other attractions.
Here's a detail many people miss: tickets remain valid for up to one year and can be rescheduled up to 24 hours before your visit. This flexibility is incredibly helpful if weather changes your plans or if you're not feeling 100% on your scheduled day. Rainy season in the Riviera Maya can be unpredictable, so this policy has saved me more than once.
Optional Add-Ons
Photo package: $58.99 captures professional action shots during your activities. Photographers position themselves at key moments on zip lines and in caves, catching angles you could never get yourself. If you're someone who loves sharing adventures on social media or wants quality keepsakes, this is worth considering.
Transportation: Available for an additional cost during checkout if you need pickup from your hotel or Airbnb. Prices vary based on location within the Riviera Maya.
What's Not Included
Alcoholic beverages cost extra at the park bars. Towels aren't provided, so bring your own from your accommodation. The professional photo package is completely optional but nice to have. Transportation to and from the park requires separate arrangements unless added during booking.
Money-Saving Tips from a Local
Beyond advance booking discounts, here are strategies I've picked up:
- Book directly through the official Xcaret website for guaranteed pricing and flexible rescheduling policies
- Check for seasonal promotions around Mexican holidays, they occasionally offer flash sales
- If visiting with friends, larger groups can sometimes negotiate bundle deals
- Consider combo packages if you want to visit multiple Xcaret parks during your trip
Getting There on a Budget
The park is located about 13 minutes south of Playa del Carmen on Highway 307. If you want to save on transportation, colectivos (the shared vans that run along the highway) will drop you right at the entrance for around 30-40 pesos. Just tell the driver "Xplor" and they'll stop at the entrance.
Maximizing Your Value
Plan to spend a full day, arriving at 9am opening and staying until 5pm closing gives you maximum value for your admission price. You'll have time to repeat favorite activities, enjoy a leisurely lunch, and not feel rushed through any experience. After all, when you're zip-lining over the Riviera Maya jungle, you want to savor every moment, not watch the clock.
