Pirate ships, aquarium, light house, pool area and splash pad... all in one spot.This was gorgeous and fun. The kids loved seeing all the animals and the pirates and playing at the splash pad.Very nice!

Beautiful place here in my birth town Arecibo Puerto Rico we are called arecibeno come down and visit it great hospitality share this in love this and God Bless!! :-)

We visited after hours and were unable to tour the grounds. But we were able to follow a pathway from the beach that lead up to a gorgeous overlook of La Poza del Obispo and the lighthouse in the background. I recommend durable shows for this climb, flip flops would be difficult. It was super windy when we were up there, so hold on to your hat! Spectacular views at the top.

Great learning and entertainment place! The views are amazing. I wish I had spent more time there to see everything. We only had 2 1/2 hours and didnt get to see one side since the ocean view and ocean breeze had us hypnotized. LolOnly thing we didnt like was the restrooms but it looks like they still updating things since the hurricane. Maybe they will work on that later.

Beautiful location. I felt sad for the animals in the mini zoo and aquarium. Friendly staff.

Love it! Good for the whole family. The mini zoo, too mini. The rest is beautiful and interactive for the kids

Had a great time here. Reasonable price for admission. Few hours here will feel like minutes. Dont forget to visit the cave that turns out to really be a pirate museum and aquarium.

Beautiful lighthouse. Good place to bring the kids

The lighthouse and the park is not worth the visit. If you have kids though they may find that place more amusing and play on the wooden ships . There is nothing to see in the light house. You can still see plenty of damage from hurricane Maria, and in the cloudy day the place looks depressing. The most infuriating are conditions that animals in the petting zoo live in.However, I highly recommend to stop by the small fishing pier located near the light house and watch pelicans, fishermen, and their hilarious interactions.

Absolutely beautiful beach!! The rocks are amazing, and we were able to find some interesting life forms here. Extremely beautiful.

$12 for adults and $10 for kids 2 and up, 2 and under are free. Historically educational with lots of interesting information beautiful scenery. There are different stops along the way to the top where the light house is. It starts with the taínos and how they lived, then the introduction of the slave to the island. Then pirates. Then you get to the light house. They also have a playground and a splash pad mini water park. All in all it was a fun afternoon full with historical value and fun.

We really struggled giving this four stars rather than five. This is a spectacular location and a very unique Lighthouse with Rich history. However, we did not do enough research ahead of time and once we arrive discoveted the entrance fee is $12 for adults and $10 for children. We were more interested in taking a hike up the hillside to view the lighthouse because we had done our own research about the history. We wanted a few photos in a little nature walk. unfortunately, you got to pay a fee for both parking and entrance fee. Just be aware. Read the other reviews to discover all the fun activities activities inside the park.

I went with my 3 years old nephew and my 7 years old niece and the had a wonderful day. It took about a little more than 3 hours to see and do everything. I recomend doing everything and leave the pool for the end, but remember its open until 5pm even though the park close at 6pm, so make a schedule. When entering the park of you go clock wise (start walking going to your left after buying tickets) its gonna make more sense: Indian tribe, pirate boats, pirate cave and aquarium, the actual light house, going down the mini zoo, the pool and at the end of the day if they still have energy the playground.

Nice little stop for the family. The aquarium area was nice, but a bit smaller than expected. Outdoor playground wasnt really useable due to the heat. Water area was definitely very family friendly and both my boys (ages 3 and 1) had a blast. A bit pricey for the entertainment offered.

Great day trip for a family. Especially good for younger kids thanks to the Pirate ship playground, little splash water park, and Pirate cove - complete with pirate scenes and a mini aquarium (think Pirates of the Caribbean on a non profit budget). For the adults, visit for the gorgeous views of the beach and ocean. Truly breathtaking on a sunny day.There are clean restrooms and a nice snack stand as well.Great restaurants nearby can round out your day.

Needs restauration, but it is a must see while visiting Arecibo. Bring bug spray and sunscreen. Scenery is beautiful. El Faro is nearby restaurants and other touristic spots. Good price for access to attractions for both kids and adults alike. The price includes parking. I didnt like the donkeys that were kept in tiny pen. They looked bored to me.

We were surprised to see that this place is much more than a lighthouse. It also has a historical tour, food, a petting zoo, a pirate cave with a very impressive aquarium and, of course, a lighthouse.

Good place but can be improved

Amazing and scenic place for the whole family.

Its a nice place although not much to do. The thing I loved most was the view and the little cave where theres the accuarioum. It has a beautiful view of the sea. But other than that theres not much to do. The water park pool is not deep so its more for kids than for adults. The little pedal boats where out of service, the light house was closed, part of the playground was broken. You can climb the boats and take photos but again other than that thats pretty much it. Some of the boards on the boat where moving and creaking because they where about to break. The gift shop doesnt have variety just a bunch of pirate hats. For $12 dollars I would expected more than just photos.

Nice spot for fishing.

Nice historical place to visit with family and kids. Parking available, aquarium, water park and a place to eat among many other things to do.

Always is fun A little bit of our history @ VERY reasonable price even have a beautiful view on top of the hill, capable of wheelchair or scooter.

Comfortable and relaxing place including the good food.

Good place to take the kids for a fun day.

Its was a beautiful landscape, and the little amusement park tied in well with the fun

In the up side the views of the coast from the outside of the lighthouse are great, the aquarium is cool. The spray/pool is good for kids, not really for adults. Down side, cant go up in the lighthouse, not much actual history presented about the light house, the pirate theme seems out of place, the gift shop is sparse. It does seem a bit overpriced if you dont use the slash area. They do charge for parking but I didnt mind since they had a security guard.

Great place to connect with the nature and ocean. Your kids with enjoy the historical exhibition as well as the aquarium while the adults take beautiful pictures from the Arecibo Lighthouse.

Great Historical Park with A Museum and a Water Park

Beautiful, entertaining and educational. A lot more than my wife and I expected!!

A little high on parking and entrance feeq

Nice place to have a great time with the kids. Its a historical place so you lear while you have fun.

Great place to spend time with family. Very relaxing!! Food was delicious and fresh. Service was great!! Beautiful views!! Very clean!

We were pleasantly surprised...the Arecibo Lighthouse and Historical Park had an area with the history of the Taino and African roots of Puerto Ricans, an small aquarium, a mini zoo and the Arecibo Lighthouse with amazing views.

Really interesting and fun

It was nice...sunny and breezy. We had a great time

Its a good piece of history entertaining.

The water is so clear , they have done a great job

Nice enjoyed the visit with family

Fun place, especially for younger kids. The pools and splash zone is fun. Also, a beautiful beach is easily accessible.

Overpriced on crowded days but very peaceful on off season. (In the midst of school semester). Worth it if you have young ones, they enjoy it a lot and the grounds are beautiful

On a school trip. Beautiful, historic. Will return with family

Enjoy the beautiful view, and the kids have so much fun

Excellent place to visit and bring children.

Wonderful place to spend a couple of hours. Family friendly.Repairs need to be completed so that guests could fully enjoy the entire array of park features.

Very beautiful and lots of fun for the whole family

Beautiful views of the ocean

The lighthouse is closed, looks like much needed repair probably from hurricane Maria. The views from the deck are amazing. The womens bathroom is a disaster, feces coming up from the sewage trap in the ground. I gave it 3 stars for the views. Not worth $12 admission fee. They need to invest in their business if they want it to flourish.

Great place to take the kids to learn a little bit about the history of Puerto Rico. We ended our day cooling off at the splash area. Overall, a fun place to take the kids.

Good place love this

Great place If you have small children. It’s $12 for adults, if all you want to do is see the lighthouse it not worth it. You can’t even go inside the lighthouse.

Is a gorgeous lighthouse.

Excellent place to take kids or students

Fun for kids pools perfect size for kids

Great spot...

Beautiful place and extraordinary views.

A beautiful sight of the blue blue ocean, incredible cliffs and an incredible natural protected cove great for relaxing, wading and especially gentle for children. The beach is great for walking and if you have footwear a short climb on the rocks can be well worth the breathtaking view of waves crashing on the rocks. If you choose to climb the rocks be careful and watch out for sea urchins in the crevices, they can be tricky to see.

Beautiful and clean area. The historical area y very well maintained and well described.

Great place to visit with kids. Entry fee is $12 for adults, and $10 for children over 2. Lots of individual attractions. Worth the trip for an afternoon.

Lots of non wild horses that couldnt drag me away. Because they were tied up

One of my favorite beaches

Said it closed at 6pm. Came at 5:30 and the place looked like it had been closed for a while.

Great area but with a $12 admission fee per person, a bit outrageous

Excellent guide, amazing acknowledge in history. I love the lighthouse and the water tank

The place is amazing, specially for family trips! Although it is not allowed to bring food or drinks from outside, they have a nice little restaurant there.There you will find some fun and history with replicas of indigenous, African and European heritage of the Puerto Rican people. There are pirate ships and artifacts (fake but fun), a small aquarium and a small farm-animals exhibit.And dont forget your swim suit, because they also have a small water park for cooling down.All (except the food) is included when you pay for entrance (about $15 per person).... but active duty military personnel are exempt.

Definitely worth a visit if you have kids! The pirate cave was really cool and the kids loved the splash pool.

Got our car window broken and purse stolen..waited an hour for police officers to make a report. No cameras in the parking lot. So you can park at your own risk. $15.00 admission per person. Good luck.

Quaint beach the lighthouse is paid admission but you can walk around outside

Clean, and great fun for kids. Not really an adult only place, its more for families with young children. You cant climb the lighthouse.

Nice and quiet beach just underneath the lighthouse

Fun place for the whole family

My honeymoon was spit touring this location I loved it my fathers from Puerto Rico and I will go back

Nice experience, well made , views are amazing st sunset.

Beautiful place. Great photo shots.

Needs maintenance. Petting zoo with 2 donkeys? Seriously? Area is pretty but needs lots of TLC.

Omg is amazing im voming back again & its great to fo with the family por friends

Had a nice time.but light house was still closed. Only animals there were a donkey and a tortoise. Best for little kids.

Good family trip!

A great attraction. Every tourist should visit especially if you have younger kids. The view is breath taking. Here you can also learn some of the islands history. Their aquarium is adorable and I love their pirate ship replicas (you can actually walk on the deck of the ships).

Need maintenance in some places. Too expensive for the variety. Everything else is good. History but simple and not too much to be able to view the place easily in a couple of hours.

Pretty cool specially for kids.

The lighthouse is unimpressive to say the least. The park is slightly fun for children under 10 but definitely not worth the price!In addition, the park charges for parking but they are unable to ensure your vehicle and/or the contents will be okay in their unsecured parking lot.We did see some impressive light houses and animals but not at this park. By the way there is no shark as of 12-14-19. The restrooms at the front of the park were out of order and the splash park was not operable during our visit.We drove a long way and we were extremely disappointed. Save your money and take your kids somewhere they will actually enjoy.

Great place for amazing views and for kids to have fun

Probably when new it was beautiful. But now it needs a lot of maintenance. Its still good and salvageable. Its still a good place for pictures and kids.

Great place to spend with family or even a date

My grandfathers cannons and anchors are here inside the lighthouse. He found them off the coast of Hatillo. The lighthouse has a great view of the bay. RIP Jose C. Sanchez Nieves.

Went with my girlfriend and kid and had a blast.

Ideal place to take your children - beautiful view - historic place.

Not worth the price of admission, seems like they havent taken care of the place in forever. Sad, cause this place has potential and I used to like it as a kid. I recommend you go spend your money on food down the street in the La Boca area and go right behind it to La poza del obispo for the views.

Fun adventure park for the kids and breathtaking views of the ocean!

Its a cool place. But the pool area isnt in good conditions

Really impressed! I was not expecting so many features in the park. A great place to take yor nieces and nephews!

Beautiful scenery!

The lighthouse is tiny, closed, and unimpressive. The historical museum is two spaces with a bunch of antique trunks, a random warship model with no context, their guides information is underwhelming. It could be (slight) fun for children as an activity park. They charge you for a spot in an open gated parking that has no guards or cameras. As an insult, theres a beach in front on the parking with a lot of parking space for free 10 steps away. At a normal walking pace you can see everything in 15 minutes. NOT worth the $12+fees USD. There are actually impressive lighthouses with light fixtures free and open for public throughout the island. Im sad I wasted my driving time and money on this.

Beautiful and fun. The staff is really nice.

Beautiful. They added a lot of new things to do . And a spectacular salt water fish tank. Food very good and affordable

Nice place

Had a wonderful day with my two kids and my husband. Really nice views

Great mix of historical knowledge and entertainment. My kids loved it

Recommended. Beautiful place full of historical facts for kids and adults
