Scape Park with kids

Scape Park works well for active families, as long as you know the age and size limits and plan for a lot of walking. Here is what each age group can do.

The park markets itself as suitable for all ages, and it is: under-6s enter free and have their own play area, older children can do most of the ziplines, and teens tend to love the Super Ride.

The catch is the walking and the limits on the bigger rides, which are worth checking before you promise anyone a zipline.

The quick answer

Children under 6 enter free and have a Mini Scape area with a mini zipline and pools. Children 6 to 12 pay about $69 on Viator. The zip lines have height and weight limits and need an adult with under-12s; the Super Ride needs riders at least 4 ft tall and 100 lb. Trails are rough and not stroller-friendly.

Is Scape Park good for kids?

Yes for active kids: there is something for every age, and life vests make the swimming easy.

Guests with children rate it well; the main complaints are the amount of walking and stairs, and attractions that open later in the day. Plan for a long, active day and build in rest.

How much do children pay?

On Viator, children 6 to 12 pay about $69, under-6s go free, and anyone 13 and over pays the adult $129.

Lunch is extra for everyone, and outside food is not allowed, so budget for the park's restaurants.

What can young children do?

Under-6s have the Mini Scape area, with a mini zipline and pools, and can swim in the cenote in a life vest.

The Viator listing also mentions a children's play area. Many of the bigger attractions have age, height or weight limits, so younger children spend more time in the play areas and the water.

Life vests are provided free for every swimmer.

What are the zipline limits for children?

The zip lines need children to reach a minimum height (between 3 ft 1 in and 4 ft, depending on the line), under-12s must be with an adult, and the Super Ride needs riders at least 4 ft tall and 100 lb.

The maximum is 280 lb and a 44-inch waist on the zip lines. Guests note that children under the Super Ride weight still enjoyed the Eco Splash lines instead.

Do kids need to be able to swim?

No. The park says swimming skills are not required: life vests are free and trained rescue staff watch the water.

Keep younger children close on the steps down to the cenote and cave pool, which are wet.

How much walking is there?

A lot: trails link every attraction, there are many stairs, and the park map is not to scale.

The walk to Hoyo Azul alone is 750 metres. Strollers are of limited use on the rough trails, so bring a carrier for toddlers, and use the in-park shuttles when little legs tire.

What is the best plan for a family day?

Take the earliest pickup, do Hoyo Azul first, eat an early lunch, and save the waterfall pools for the afternoon.

Check at the gate which attractions open later, and leave the Super Ride or Rope Runners for when the kids still have energy.

What if Scape Park is not right for your kids?

For slides instead of trails, try El Dorado Water Park; for a gentle day on the water, a family snorkel catamaran.
