Great for families, the restaurant is shaped like a volcano and inside it seems like a rainforest where you can take a short indoor river ride. Outside there's also sometimes live entertainment during the evenings.

Small Mexican restaurant, the food is good. There is a combo special where you can have a soft drink of your choice. It does close early around 2pm so this would only be for lunch.

Sightseeing

Ride the ferry (free!) to Bolivar Peninsula, it's a short ride and almost open at any time. You can sometimes spot dolphins near the ferry boat or just enjoy the view. Be careful to lose your hats! You can drive your car on the ferry or park in the parking lot and walk on.
