The park’s natural beauty is a sight to behold, with crystal-clear cenotes waiting to cool you down after your aerial escapades.
For those who crave more than just heights, Xplor offers the unique experience of driving an amphibious vehicle through jungle trails and fascinating caves. The terrain is as challenging as it is breathtaking, with every twist and turn revealing new wonders. And when it’s time to refuel, the all-you-can-eat buffet awaits, offering a delicious array of healthy options to keep your energy levels high. As one recent visitor raved,
“Perfect Activity for Adventure Goers - Pick up was easy and quick. Was able to get to all the rides, but highly recommend going to water slide in AM since the wait can get long for that ride. Staff were all friendly and buffet was pretty good and drinks refreshing. It was nice to be able to go back to the buffet as much as I wanted to. The rides were all fun and the ATV was my favorite activity was one of the most unique experiences being able to drive on the bridge, cave, and through water.”
Sensory Delights at Xenses Park
After a morning of high-octane adventure, shift gears and explore the whimsical world of Xenses Park. Available from 8:00 AM, this park is a playground for the senses, offering a unique blend of relaxation and mind-bending experiences. Here, nothing is as it seems. Float effortlessly in the Riverlaxing salt river, or indulge in a mud exfoliation at the Sludgerie. Each activity is designed to awaken your senses and challenge your perceptions.
The Xensatorium is a must-visit, where you’ll navigate a pitch-black maze using only your senses of touch, smell, and hearing. It’s a journey through different ecosystems that will leave you in awe of the natural world. As one visitor described,
“Xensatorium was a once in a lifetime experience - We went to the park for several hours on a weekday and were able to get to everything. This park is definitely geared towards young adult to adults that still have their balance. There is definitely an age when someone would be too old for the types of activities that this park has. But, for those that can handle the physical and mental activities, this was an amazing experience.”
