This place is a little run down, but a very good value for the buck. The lazy river and waterslides were fun. We went mainly for the kids to swim with the dolphins which was excellent. We weren't expecting the dolphin show or walrus, but that was better than ones I've seen back home. Worth the trip.

The Dolphins were great, as usual----as We have enjoyed them many times. The Hi-lite was the Sea Lion Encounter! First time ever----and very impressive! We found them to be very attentive, very inter-active and very receptive to our attention. Our guide allowed us to be very involved with various activities, including closing our eyes and they would jump over our... More

We seen this place online and my wife is a waterslide nut so we had to check it out. We took a cab and when we got there it looked closed but we were surprised to see it was open and only guests. The big slides and lazy pool were closed but we had fun anyway. Its pretty beat up... More

Not the tourist trap you'd expect. We got a full 30 min or more in the water with our dolphin and had SO much fun playing with him. After the dolphin swim, you can ride the waterslides or float in the lazy river for as long as you want at no extra charge. It was great pretending to be 12... More

We checked the web site thoroughly and our dolphin experience included all that was described, sometimes more than once. We never stopped giggling the whole time. The only thing that could be improved is to clarify that many of the water slides are weight rated.

The dolphin swims are educational and very interactive. The water slides range from fast and intense to mild. Food prices and photos are expensive- photos $100 US (optional) and food $5 for a large bag of chips, $4 beer. Bring your own towel. Bring a lunch

We have been here twice in 5 years to do the Dolphin Experience and waterpark. They just keep painting over everything so it looks much better in photos than in person. The kids have lots of fun here and it is a great place to spend the day. The waterslides are scary and fun and the kids play area is... More

4 of us went to Aquaventuras today, that is their current name. Because we are local residents we got an excellent price. A couple of the slides were closed, but there were plenty to choose from. Sure, it is not in pristine consition like you might find in the US, but the water was clean and we saw employees cleaning... More

The good news - this is an affordable dolphin experience and the area the dolphin encounters are done is very nice and clean. The bad news - the water park area was dirty. Our dolphin encounter was a nice first experience for our kids (9 and 4) and the trainers were very good. We had the added benefit of having... More

It's a little confusing trying to figure out the name; Sea Life Park, AquaAdventuras, Dolphin Discovery but simply asking for the water park works. My 7 year old wanted to swim with a dolphin but we had not made any reservations with any of the tour groups so we just went to the park on Thurs 2/18/10 and hoped there... More
