Ventura Park — the amusement/water park at Km 25, formerly Wet'n Wild — CLOSED indefinitely in January 2025 and has not reopened. The grounds sit abandoned as of mid-2026.

Key facts

Frequently asked questions

Is Ventura Park in Cancún still open?

No. It announced an indefinite closure in late January 2025 after a brief 'maintenance' shutdown, and as of mid-2026 it remains closed with no reopening announced.

I had unused Ventura Park tickets from before the closure — can I get a refund?

The company hasn't run a public refund process; your best route is a chargeback through your card issuer or the platform you bought from. Act quickly, as chargeback windows expire.

What happened to Wet'n Wild Cancún?

Wet'n Wild was rebranded as part of Ventura Park years ago, so it's the same property — and it closed along with the rest of the park in January 2025.

Is it worth going to look at the site?

No — it's a shuttered property at the far south end of the Hotel Zone with nothing to see or do. Spend that bus ride on Playa Delfines instead.

I found Ventura Park tickets for sale online — should I buy them?

Don't. Some third-party listings and old pages haven't been updated; the park is not operating, and refunds from resellers can be painful.

Why did Ventura Park close?

No official reason was ever given — the company announced the indefinite closure without explanation, and local press has reported the site sitting abandoned since. Speculation ranges from maintenance issues to business troubles.

What are the best alternatives for a water park day near Cancún?

Xel-Há (all-inclusive snorkel park) and Xcaret are the polished big-ticket options, while Boca del Puma and Selvática on the Ruta de los Cenotes offer zip lines and cenote swimming closer to Cancún. For pure slides, some resorts sell day passes to their own waterparks.

Is there any sign Ventura Park will reopen?

Nothing credible as of mid-2026 — neither the park nor its parent company has issued further statements, and local reporting describes the site as abandoned. Treat it as permanently closed until proven otherwise.
