Fantastic! 3rd time visiting. Plan to visit at about 1:30 so you can witness the rotation of the big cats. That's when they will be most active and you can see the animals walking around and playing. Also plan to watch at least 2 of the dolphin training sessions. They were great! Lots of chances for close up viewing of the dolphins and great education. Jumping, diving, and yes playing pass with a football. Wonderful!
Both exhibits had amazing people working there that had tons of information. Loved it!!!
The dolphins and the white tigers and lions are super nice here
A video shows the old days of wizards
And I wish Roy good health
Being up close and personal with the dolphins was amazing
Saw a kid get peed on! Well worth the time. Cats were active!
Don't think paying guests should have to pay full price
Awesome place to visit right off the strip! The animals are amazing. Dolphins are interactive. The cats get switch so you can see all of them. Cafe and gift shop on site. Staff are extremely knowledgeable about the health and care of the animals. Would recommend!
beautiful place for kids an adults special being so close to dolphins
The dolphins are super sweet and the tigers are very lively! And a plus we seen Sigfried!
This is Adriber I will always provide the best and honest reviews. Wonderful place to visit, get to see the dolphins as they put on a show and depending on what ticket you buy you can even feed them and take a picture petting them. They even have white lions and tigers. Customer service was fast and friendly. Just know that if for any reason you happen to walk outside make sure to get you hand stamp in order to get back in. As always I'm the firm believer of quality over quantity. This is my review and remember always look for adriber for the best and honest review.
Beautiful gardens and peaceful environment for the "Big Cats".
Paid for the VIP tour for my kids & I at 11AM. It was an awesome experience. You get to feed the dolphins and do little tricks with them. You get a little behind the scenes tour and go to places others dont have access too!! My kids & I learned a lot during our tour. I was a group of 5 and i got 5 pictures included in the tour as well.
It was awesome since I got to meet and talk to Siegfried.
Beautiful place. Animals seem well treated. Attraction for children. It's $ 22 per person. Children up to 4 years old do not pay. You can see the animals very close.
Like seeing the wildlife. It is a nice change of pace from the casinos and a good way to kill some time without being at a slot machine while in Vegas.
Pretty kewl place. My kids would have loved it but it is short. Not very long.
Baby dolphin was too adorable with it's family. Watched the dolphins play with ball and swim around tank. Leopard, lion, and white tigers on the other side of the habitat. Last entry is at 5:30. Exhibit closes at 6:30. Gift shops and food on site. Water stations near bathroom.
It was so amazing the dolphins are awesome the star of the show. And we loved the Big cats. So much we got a VIP tour.
The leopards appeared to have smaller areas compared to the lions and tigers
Came here in the winter and it is even better this time around. This little girl in the pics is a regular and she is so inlove with the dolphins as they are her, they could play with her for hours especially the baby dolphin carly. If u or your kids are animal lovers, you'll enjoy this trip. Well kept and clean most trainers or guides are pleasant. Not as hot as i imagined but then again it was cool today. Loads of information on the dolphins, they even have a grandma dolphin who is 44years old!
We enjoyed walking through and relaxing by the dolphin pools . Didn't want to leave. Definitely plan to spend a few hours. Great photos
Stop here if you like big cats. It will make your hair stand on end when they roar. We tried to record it, but the video doesn't do it justice.
They also have a dolphin show which was very entertaining, and you can go below and watch them swimming through the windows. Lots of fun!
Animals locked up in tiny cages. The lion was pacing like it was going crazy. Dolphin stuck in tiny pools.
Great place for a little more relaxing show when the craziness of Vegas gets to be overwhelming. Loved the dolphin show!
Amazing place. You can get within 5 feet of the dolphins.
A good break during the day in Vegas. Cool & shady. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the animals being in a "zoo-aquarium" but in the end I liked it. The dolphins were great. They seemed happy, very playful & well cared for. They were interested in us & came right to the sides of their pools to look at you. They didn't look bored or unhappy as I'd feared.
The cats were all sleeping & kinda boring as it was hot out
UNTIL, one tiger sits up & sniffs the air. He gets up & walks quickly to the side of his cage & there was Siegfried! The cat obviously smelled him & knew "daddy" was there & came over to see him. Siegfried could not have been nicer to everyone. It was great to meet him. He thanked us for coming to see his cats.
My only gripe was the heavy fencing around the cats made for very bad photos. But what are you gonna do, can't have them breaking out.
If you are in Vegas & looking for a break from the usual, come by. If you have kids in Vegas with you, DEFINITELY come by!
Too hot in the summer. But close up to dolphins, details about them and tricks /training was done for visitors. Tigers are awesome and playful at times.
Fun time and good break away from the lights and consistency of gaming
Love the dolphins but the space seems so small for the animals
lovely afternoon spent here my last day of vacation
the cats looked serene and content
Our family had an excellent time at this attraction. We went there when it opened up and for most of the time we had the whole attraction to ourselves. You can get up close and watch the trainers working with the dolphins, and is quite amazing to watch them interacting with each other. While it can be expensive if you only do this attraction on its own. The Mirage is part of the MGM Grand chain of hotels. The MGM offers $57USD per person tickets that allows you to get into any three attractions that are on MGM properties and the Dolphin Habitat is on this list, along with many other attractions. While $57USD per person may seem a lot, if you are planning to go to any other these other exhibits on the list, it is well worth the $57 instead of paying for each attraction individually. Allow yourself at least a couple hours to see the whole attraction, because after the dolphins you can visit the big cats. In this area there are lions, tigers, panthers and leopards and if you go early in the morning or later on in the evening, this is when the big cats are most active.
Definitely not worth the $22 to get in. There was no garden! As for the dolphins, they put on a better show by themselves, without the trainers (after the so-called show). We seen their lion, pacing back and forth and the white tiger looked skinny and sick
It's a nice place very interesting, I liked the place.
It was GREAT especially if your a Tiger lover like I am... And to top it off we got to meet Siegfried!!!!
My favorite attraction in Vegas! It's a must see for any animal lover.
The animal looked very happy. Well worth the money.
Love the animals beautiful little hidden treasure. Very well taken care of.
A wonderful spot to walk around and enjoy an afternoon. Nice to see all the dolphins and the tigers. They seem well cared for. I only hope that they will once turn down the music a bit - it's too loud.
Wonderful staff that take the time to explain many things. The enclosures appear small but clean. I wonder about the care of the animals. The lion has a large wound at the base of his tail. The large cats have small enclosures. The dolphin exhibit was also rather small for the amount of animals. That's all there is to see at this place. Expensive for what it is.
There's a few tigers here which is cool for little kids. The whole place takes less than 30 minutes to walk through.
We booked the VIP behind the scenes tour with the dolphins and the staff was so accommodating. Our tour guide answered all of our questions and she was so personable. Really would recommend doing this for anyone because you get to take a picture with the dolphins and you get up close and personal. They are all so sweet.
I regret paying money to go here. There were far too many dolphins crammed together in those tiny pools! Not only that, but the instructor speaking during a training session blatantly LIED about the life expectancy of wild bottlenose dolphins (10-14 years??? Uh, try closer to 40-50). How incredibly SHAMEFUL! If you're going to preach conservation, at least do it correctly as to not misguide the public. Using misinformation as means of justifying keeping dolphins cramped captive conditions is not okay.
Thankfully the big cats fared much better--their enclosures were much roomier, well-furnished, and they all had spaces to themselves.
It was awesome!!! We also met Sigfried walking around the secret garden while we were there and he did a magic trick for our son and gave him a collectors coin!
The dolphins were kind of cool, and in a nice intimate setting (not sure if the dolphins like it that intimate) the cats were bored out of their mind. But more importantly, I thought it was pretty pricey for what was basically 45mins of entertainment.
Beautiful animals! We actually got to see Seigfried in person that day and he was so sweet. He did a magic trick for my brother and happily posed for photos with the whole family. Very charming man.
really cool to see the animals they look well taken care of though a couple looked really old and it was sad to see how hard it was for them to walk. also for the cost there should be more animals. then the crazy price to get your photo 60 dollars on top of the 22 to get in was a little crazy even for vegas. i think it is great what they are doing but there is a lot of room for improvements.
Amazing, the dolphins and the cats...we even had a visit from the one and only Siegfried.
Lovely place, is small but cozy...if you're there between Monday and Thursday mr. Siegfried will be there look for him.
Its a small park but you get to get super close to the animals. I admire that Siegfried is there most days.i went when it was 113 degrees Fahrenheit and there he was spending the afternoon outside greeting people and showing some magic tricks for kids. I stayed to watch the exchange of the tigers (hey rotate outdoor time between 26 tigers) and found the staff super patient and receptive to if the tiger wanted to stay out longer. Oh and I was lucky enough to touch one of the dolphins with the trainers permission.
Also, no bottles with caps are allowed in the park but there are filtered water machines in the park.
The trainers and staff are extremely knowledgable and friendly. Lots of the animals were lively and some just wanted to relax. Overall had a great time and saw some amazing animals up close
We loved seeing the Tigers and Lions more than the Dolphin Show. The Dolphin show gets crowded and there isn t any proper crowd management. There are people all around and you can hardly see anything from the viewing area. But this is definitely a great place to spend a few hours with the kids. I love the Chinese Brush Art Painting inside the Dolphin store. I ve always made sure to give it as gifts to my friends and family and they love it.
Small, intimate encounter with great opportunities to see big cats up close.
The animal enclosures are WAY too small. They need more room!!!
Felt really bad for supporting a "sea world" like experience. It was clean and the people were nice.... but it just felt all kinds of wrong in 2019.
Great stop to see dolphins, sharks and other sea life.
If you like dolphins and big cats, this is the place to go for a quick view!
Fantastic place for kids and adults. We loved the dolphins.
The animals were amazing and we actually got to meet Sigfried himself. Great experience.
Great look at dolphins and some lions and tigers! Enjoyed it much more than the aquarium at Mandalay Bay.
Very pricey for what's inside. The enclosements seemed quite small.
A great little place to pass a couple of hours, beautiful animals and actually got to meet Siegfried (the Geezer)
Quite small but otherwise very neat. I'm and out in an hour and a half
Had a fantastic day here, the staff were so friendly, and always on hand to answer any questions. I was blown away by the whole place. Can highly recommend it
I really enjoy visiting the dolphins and tigers. It's not all that big, but definitely worth a visit. I do feel a little bad for the animals considering they are pretty well secluded and with nice but not huge enclosures. They do seem to be treated pretty well, but that's only from my immediate observations.
