Mazatlán is a city that never sleeps, even on holidays. If you’re planning to spend the first day of the new year out and about, here are some great options for you and your family.
Breakfast Options
Start your day with a delicious breakfast. If you’re not a fan of reheated food, there are plenty of restaurants open 365 days a year. Panama, with five branches in the city, is a popular choice:
– Mexican Army Avenue
– Near the cathedral in the Golden Zone
– Inside the Palms Hotel
– Cabo Carena branch in the Marina area
For a more adventurous start, consider visiting one of the country restaurants on the way to La Noria, such as Aureliano de La Noria, El Sazón de la Abuela Tina, La Martina, La Vaca Lupe, or La Ciudadela.
Gastronomy
In El Quelite, enjoy local cuisine at El Mesón de los Laureanos or Los Arrieros. Alternatively, head to Villa Union for delicious seafood at El Cuchupetas or La Moyota.
Daytime Activities
Visit the Gran Acuario Mazatlán Mar de Cortés, which offers special rates for locals and is open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (ticket offices close at 4:30 p.m.).
Afternoon Fun
For a family-friendly afternoon, consider a trip to a shopping mall or a movie. Enjoy films like Wicked, Gladiator 2, Sonic 3, Mufasa, Flow, The Moon: Survivor, or Nosferatu with a combo of popcorn and soft drinks.
Another great option is spending time at Central Park, where a Christmas Village has been set up since December 14. It features mechanical games, photo stops, and a free ice rink, open from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
If you prefer not to stay home on New Year’s Day, these activities offer a variety of options to enjoy with family or friends.
