Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park Review

Dolphin show was a lot of fun, daughter really enjoyed it. There s enough other attractions and displays to feel you get your moneys worth.

Great little aquarium. Love the dolphin and Sea lion shows!

Overpriced, 170 a piece to touch a dolphin not swim with it. I know they have cost but come on. I had to come in as well and my two other kids for a total of $429. Not again, tourist trap.

Not crowded, great educational talks at each exhibit

We had an excellent time. Kids loved the dolphin and sea lion programs. The layout of the attractions was very nice.

My kids loved it here! So much fun and the animals were beautiful.

Amazing way to spend a day. It took us about 3 1/2 hours including the dolphin show and holding a baby alligator! Sooo much fun and a great way to see ocean animals up close even if you don't have money to pay for an "encounter".

I wouldn't go back but it was fun for one time only.

I went with my grandson. I really enjoyed the dolphin and Sea lion show.

Loved it! Admission price is fair and food prices are reasonable.

Great little place to see marine animals then spend some time on the beach.

Kids loved it...must do attraction...the dolphin show was great..

Awesome Exhibits. And a lady named Muri was very helpful and friendly.

The staff were fabulous and very friendly. It is also kid friendly too. The animals are in great shape thanks to the staff.

I love going to this place. I have never felt rushed and I can just sit and watch. You can spend an entire day here and i will feel like i still didn't see it all.

Really great outing. We really enjoyed the dolphin and sea lion show. They were really cute. And the fact that the setting is right on their beautiful beach made it a beautiful day. Wish there was more to see. Will definitely visit again.

Love this place! Pefect size for the little ones to enjoy. The trainers love their jobs and take great care of the exhibits. Wish they offered season passes.

This place is amazing! From the dolphin shows to the Sea lion shows, this place is well worth the money. I've been going to this place for the past 2 years and each time it has been Awesome! The staff is always great and so is the food at the concession stand. Although the overall cleaning of the tanks could be a little better, it's sort of sad to see how mucky the water looked in the turtle, sea otter and shark area were.

Wish it was a little larger for the price, but it is a lot of fun for the entire family

Great place for the kids. We carried our grandchildren and they loved it

Some really great animals that you can't normally see up close, but on the expensive side. Lasted our family of 7 about 2 1/2 hours, including shows. More exciting for the 4-12 years old.

Nice place to stop for a little break. It takes about 2 hours to tour the facility.

We stopped here to pass time and were thoroughly entertained. They educated us on sealife conservation and it was fun and affordable.

Wife and I enjoyed it. Took in the sea lions show. Nice display of sea creatures and others.

At first the admission cost seems high. But then you see the schedule of events throughout the day. There are shows or trainer talks every thirty minutes. From the outside the place looks small but once you look around it has a great variety of animal life to see and learn about.

VERY nice place for ALL. The ONLY thing I can say negative is, the Dolphin show and the Sea Lion shows were short. Less than 30 minutes for each. Would have enjoyed a longer show. Everything else was extremely enjoyable. Highly recommend this for families with kids!!

Way over priced for you get. The park is small and contains a lot of animals commonly found in the wild in the US. The signs have a PETA type message. I suggest going to Gulf World in Panama City or Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.

My family and I very much enjoyed the dolphin and sea lion show. It was very organized and clean.

Awesome time , the sea lions stole the show , good times had by all !

If you are ABSOLUTELY bored .. you can take your kids here, but it s not much of anything whatsoever. They had half the exhibits down (of course they don t tell you before entering) and for $23 per adult, insane. Definitely not worth that. I always feel it s to take care of the animals but it just seems it s to pay the staff because the enclosures are so small and run down.

I just definitely don t think it s worth it for a family to go and spend $100 for around 2 hours of your time.

About $25 for adult. Had to circle parking lot several times for a place to park, but it was free. You can have your picture taken upon entrance. There is an elevator to second floor for dolphin show. Under water viewing glass around the circle style layout. Outdoor exhibitions of seals, turtles and stingray but you can't touch. Get your stadium bench seat early or you can stand around the fence. Typical overpriced gift shop at exit. The dolphin show was more of education about dolphins with about 10 minutes of performance which was nice. Family of 4 dolphins. One guest was invited to interact with a dolphin during the show. You can stay as long as you like.

Had a great time here! Watched the dolphin show which was also a great time! Has sharks, seat turtles, seals, otters, and stingrays ect. Kids will definitely love this!

had alot of fun here staff was friendly and the shows were awesome will always reccomend!

Wonderful. Animals are taken care of and loved at this establishment. So if you don't wanna go because of supposed "animal abuse", scratch that mindset. These animals are taken care of. They aren't being abused. These animals are amazing and the caretakers are even better.

The dolphin show and the sea lion show were great! We really enjoyed it!

It's pretty cool and the shows are great but can't help but notice the small enclosures that makes it hard to support this business.

Unexpected little gem. Trainers are amazing. The educators speak with confidence. Love the sea lion show (don't call them seals lol). I'll be back

Closest thing to Sea World here. Very cute. Kinda small and expensive but nice. The dolphin show trainers talk too much.

I enjoyed this experience for the most part, but I think it was more on the educational side than entertainment. Lots of talking! For children, they want to see more action. It was interesting facts about the training process with the sea animals. Also, It looked a little like the pools needed to be drained and cleaned well. Brightened up and made to look a little more cheerful. Just my opinion! Some of the reptiles were not as visible. Overall an okay experience, although, I probably would not return. I do feel sorry for the animals in captivity. It looks like there's not enough room for them to thrive.

This place was great! I took my daughter and nephew on the last day of our vacation. They really enjoyed the shows and the awesome sites of different animals. I must say I enjoyed myself as well. We went around noon and was able to catch all of the shows and animal chats.

Great experience for kids. Definitely see the shows as that is the main attraction of the place.

Great trainers. Educational shows! Good food prices are great. Great place to wonder around!

Fun little place to pass some time on an overcast, windy day at the beach. Be sure to check out the dolphin and sea lion shows, which are included in the price of admission. Go early, as it got crowded as the day went on, and dress for the weather as many exhibits are outdoors.

First time here and I was very sad to see how they have the sea turtle exhibit very dirty and no toys or anything for that matter in the small circled tank other then that I loved the dolphins they had the best personalities

Nice little park. Charge a little too much for what is offered.

Great staff. Nice to see the animals up close but kinda sad too but don't know each animals situation.

Employees are very knowledgeable and it seems like they really care for the animals well. It was fun and educational at the same time

We had a good time here seeing the marine life. The dolphin show was AMAZING

Felt sorry for the animals, especially the sea turtles, they wanted out

Nice exhibits of fish and mammals. Facility is getting old and really needs a face lift. Don't plan to eat there. Food is limited and poor.

Our family had a wonderful experience at the Gulfarium. We enjoyed the shows and a dolphin encounter. The staff were all very polite and professional. We will definitely return on future trips to the area!

My husband and I had a blast! We got to see the dolphin show which was wonderful and there is so many animals to see. Support this aquarium for sure!

Super cute and quick to get through without small kids getting restless.

People can hang out with a dolphin for about 30 mins. No swimming, but it's a great experience.

Knowledgeable staff, very clean establishment. They seem to care about the animals. It s a small facility but worth a visit. Beautiful views of the beach. We enjoyed our day there.

We had so much fun here,the dolphin show was wonderful..
