Xenses

Xenses is the Xcaret group park built on tricks of the senses rather than speed, and it suits a five-hour morning better than a full day. In the Town, the streets are tilted so that uphill and downhill swap places. The Xensatorium is a pitch-black cavern where you move through recreated ecosystems by feel and sound.

The rest is gentler outdoor play: a zipline called Bird Flight, a slide that drops into a cavern, a mud pit, a warm current to drift in, underground passages, a path of dwarfs and giants, a citrus garden and hammocks. Entry covers lockers, showers and every circuit; food is extra. It closes on Wednesdays and Sundays, and the minimum age is five.
