Does any one have any recommendations or experiences in these ports in Mex Riviera? 

Thank you!

As mentioned here frequently, whale watching in Cabo (first choice) and PV are very common in the whale season, December to early April.

I know Cabo has an aquarium, though I haven’t been. Whale watching in the right season. My MIL went on a really cool tour of old mining areas in PV.

Thank you for your replies. We’ll be a bit early for whale season.

I’ll look at the aquarium suggestion. Thanks Again!

I guess it is still open. Some love it, some donot. The Zoo in Puerto Vallarta. https://www.puertovallarta.net/what_to_do/vallarta-zoo

Whale watching is great and official city zoos are great, but I'd avoid any private animal encounters; they are horrible abusers of animals. The first one that comes to mind is the "hug a baby tiger" excursion in Ensenada. These places are not legitimate, don't get the animals from legitimate sources and don't treat the animals well. The same is true for the captive dolphin encounters you see a lot in the Caribbean and Mexico.
