Was a fun place. I had booked a Seal Swim and I was very excited about this part of my day at Underwaterworld however I paid $90 for it what it advertised - that you can swim and play with them with their toys...once you get prepared and you go through a small tour (of the seals kitchen which is just a bucket of their food) they then take you to the pool where we are advised they are timid so you cannot touch them, follow them or corner them, so make no contact whatsoever. They also let us know that the seals dont go near you and they didnt...I paid $90 to swim in their pool whilst they stayed away from me and it was a very sad and empty experience in all. I felt like once I got in the pool I just had to stay away from the creatures.They staff also stated they are even more stand-offish during breeding season which begs the question on why the price is not negotiated?! Otherwise the rest of Underwater world is great.
