Planning a day of family fun in Riviera Maya? This package offers entry to Aqua Nick Park combined with transportation, making it a convenient way to enjoy a lively water park themed around Nickelodeon’s beloved characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick, and Sandy. For $249 per person, it’s an all-in-one experience suited for families looking to splash around and make memories—especially with kids who love water slides and cartoon characters. The day lasts about 8 hours, giving ample time to enjoy the attractions without feeling rushed.
What we really appreciate about this experience is its emphasis on family-friendly activities—from toddler zones to daring water slides—and the inclusion of transport and amenities that simplify your day. Two standout features are the lazy river that lets you relax after the thrills and the opportunity to dine at either the Aqua Nick restaurant or Nick Bistro with an open bar option. However, a potential consideration is the transport back—as one reviewer experienced, a return journey lasting over two hours was tiring for small children.
This tour suits families, especially those with young children who enjoy water parks or Nickelodeon characters. It’s also a great choice if you prefer an all-inclusive package that takes care of logistics, so your only concern is having fun.

What’s Included and How It Works
For the $249 fee, you get shared transportation to and from the park, access to all park facilities, towels, and a variety of food and drink options. This package makes it easy to focus on the fun rather than logistics, especially with kids in tow. The transportation is described as straightforward—”GREAT” in one review—but be aware that the return trip can take longer than expected. The reviewer from the UK noted a 45-minute journey to the park, which was smooth and solo, but the return took over two hours due to multiple stops, including being the last hotel in Tulum. This highlights the importance of planning for a longer day, especially at day’s end.
Attractions and Activities
Once inside, the water slides are a highlight, offering adrenaline rushes for older kids and teenagers. The park’s layout includes several swimming areas, from the activity pool with wave balls to dedicated zones for toddlers. Young children can explore a water walking system and floating cushions—safe and engaging ways to encourage water play.
For those seeking a mix of thrill and relaxation, the lazy river is a true star. We loved the way it offers a gentle float, allowing tired legs to rest after the excitement of slides or wave pools. It’s a good way to wind down and enjoy the lush surroundings.
The park also has daring features like a climbing wall and activity pool with wave balls—perfect for older kids craving adventure. The water walking system and toddler play areas are thoughtfully designed, giving parents peace of mind that younger children are safe and entertained.
Food and Drinks
Food options include hamburgers, hot dogs, poke bowls, and soft drinks, available at the Aqua Nick restaurant. If you upgrade your ticket to include the open bar at Nick Bistro, you’ll have access to beer, soft drinks, and water—adding value for adults who want to unwind. The availability of snacks and drinks throughout the day means you won’t need to worry about packing your own supplies, though bringing some extra water and sun protection is always wise.
