We enjoyed our time at the Gulfarium! It was extremely packed for a beautiful day and the entrance was a little confusing on where to go to see everything but once we got the hang of it it was quite enjoyable. The dolphin show was amazing. The sea lions were so funny! The store was full of all kinds of memorabilia from your trip. We highly recommend taking your kids to see this!

Pretty neat place to visit. Nice to see that they are expanding. The Sea Lion show was closed when we went so while that was a disappointment, they did give you 20% off the admission price. They also offer a military discount. They have a lady taking your picture when you first arrive and I think she should explain that it is so you can purchase them photo shopped into a variety of backgrounds. Was happy they offer food to buy. We would of liked to purchase a animal encounter but they only offered 2 different times and we would of had to stay hours until the 2nd time. Good place to take kids.

8-4-2022 - decided to go to the Aquarium while here. There are expansive changes coming by 2023, so be patient parking wise. Adjacent parking is nearby. We purchased tickets in advance, which includes all animal shows. We were able to get in with little wait time. Most of the exhibits are outside. A lot of people were in attendance, and the friendly staff kept things moving. Managed to see the Harbor Seal 🦭, Sea Lion, and Dolphin 🐬 shows multiple times, different performers and educational and entertaining. Walked around, asked questions at various activities, and we enjoyed it all. Would recommend it now and once changes are complete.

An amazing place for kids and adults. All kinds of animals and I was even surprised to see African Penguins ! The have food and drinks for purchase and plenty of encounters and shows for everyone. The only downside was majority of the exhibits were outside, so we needed to stay extra hydrated. Make sure to bring sunscreen and water. We were there for a few hours and absolutely loved it. Tickets are reasonably priced.

We had a good experience here. The dolphin show was good. We watched them feed the penguins. Also saw them taking care of some sea turtles. Overall a great experience. However we are a family of 6 and it cost over $150 to get in. We spent about 2 hours here total and pretty much saw and experienced everything.

Great dolphin show and we loved the exhibits of the fish, penguins, and sea otters. The staff were nice. The majority of the exhibits are outside, so make sure to wear appropriate clothing. The only exhibit inside are the small fishes. There was handicap seating for the dolphin show. They sell food and drinks, but their water fountain outside was not working according to the sign they placed on top of it.

This place was a nice experience. Fairly priced and took about an hour to get through, including the Sea Lion show which was fantastic! (Definitely our favorite part - we were not able to see a dolphin show due to arriving after the last show, but we were okay with that) Nice, relaxing and beautiful surroundings as well. The gift shop was pretty large and had a wide variety of souvenirs. Variety of animals as well.

This place had a couple really fun entertaining shows. It was worth going at least once. I think of I had young kids I'd definitely take them here. Oh course it's not a Sea World, but the staff do a really good job with answering any questions & presenting the animals. We spent over 4 hours looking around & seeing shows. It was raining on & off when we went. Most of this place is open, but they do have a lot of areas that are covered.
