Observatorio Mazatlán 1873 - 82000 Mazatlán

Around $25 US dollars for an hour tour around Mazatlan, Mexico. The driver would stop on demand abs let us get out and take in the view and take photos. It felt safe and allowed us to take in a lot in a short time.

Beautiful location, and I learned so much about Mazatlán from the short video. Spectacular views, and lots of history. Just a warning though, the birds tend to try to land on your shoulder in the aviary.

Nice video to give some information about Mazatlan to start. The tour isn't very long but worth is for the amazing views. If you're looking for some good photo then try this out. The bar had good drinks and food but expect to pay a lot.

This was a real surprise! Parking was hard; If you can park somewhere and take a pulmonía to here, that's best. Beautiful, beautiful place! Can't wait for the restaurant to open! ...it's a new "must see" in Mazatlán! If you go, say greetings from Farmer Johnny!

An enjoyable experience! After the funicular to the top, we waited for at least 30 minutes without being allowed to walk around (there was a fashion photo session occurring in the buildings and surrounding areas). Once the tour started (one in Spanish and one in English) it was fun! The Sky Bar was fully reserved but we had no issues getting drinks and taking them down to the lower patio which was not crowded at all - fantastic views all around! In total we spent about 3 hours (including time for sunset drinks and photos). We went on a Thursday with no reservations - we paid 900 pesos for 3 adults. I would go again although I did not enjoy the wait at the beginning - not sure if that was just because of the photo session or if they were waiting for a certain number of people to begin the tour.

A Mazatlan attraction that is not to be missed! The tour starts with an educational film about Mazatlan history, followed by a funicular ride up to the observatory. This is not a celestial observatory, but was used to monitor the sea approach to Mazatlan. The observatory is beautiful as is the view. There is also an agave garden as well as an aviary. The tour ends at the sky bar. The margaritas are wonderful and there is a selection of craft beer. You then have time to walk around on your own. It is well worth the $23 spent. There are restrooms available. Not handicap accessible. Beautiful views of the ocean and the port. A very nice gift shop.

We very much enjoyed our day here. So much history. The setting and the view is unbeatable! Our English speaking tour guide was Carla. She was so sweet and did a great job. Told us all about tequila! And they have a little bird sanctuary that was fun to walk through The food up top in the bar was top notch! Muy Bien ? I highly recommend this be put on your bucket list!

The place was really cool and the views were beautiful! I gave four stars because nobody said a few areas of the site were closed and the price was insane for what you get. $22.50 a person gets you a ride up, a quick tour and the opportunity to buy drinks from their bar. Still a memorable experience.
