Observatorio Mazatlán 1873

When described, "beautiful views, iguana preserve, whale museum" 🤨. The observatory is beautiful, with so much to see for the family, beyond the beautiful view, you also have an iguana preserve, whale museum (really well done), rooftop bar, chocolate ceremony (limited times but very beautiful), and probably even more. You can spend 2+hours. Definitely so much more then you can hope for.

What a gem. This place is perched on a hill overlooking the city and harbor of Mazatlan. The views are spectacular! The staff are friendly and helpful. Food and beverages are available and come with a great view. Be prepared for ramps and stairs everywhere. Not handicapped friendly.

Wonderful views and the interactive exhibits in the museum were really impressive. Our guide Gerardo, (aka Jerry) who showed us around the old meteorology building, was helpful and friendly. A great way to spend an afternoon.

Well worth the visit. Lots of awesome city and coastline views. All the staff were friendly and informative.

Visiting Observatorio 1873 in Mazatlán was one of the highlights of our trip. The entire place is absolutely beautiful, a perfect mix of nature, history, and breathtaking views. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by lush greenery and fascinating wildlife. We saw iguanas, colorful parrots, peacocks, flamingos, and so many other amazing animals up close. It felt like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. The observatory itself is rich in history. We learned so much about Mazatlán’s past, including information on local marine life like whales and tortoises. Every part of the property was well-maintained and thoughtfully designed to offer a fun and educational experience. One of our favorite parts was the café it was such a charming place to take a break, enjoy a drink, and soak in the incredible panoramic views of the ocean and city. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or just looking for something unique and relaxing to do in Mazatlán, Observatorio 1873 is a must-visit. We had such a fun and memorable time and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
