I visited with 3 other adults, and we enjoyed walking around the park. It is a bit on the small side, but the money gathered from the admission apparently goes to rehab sea animals, so no worries there. I think that this would be a great place to go with kids- there are a lot of interactive activities like swimming... More

Located in Islamorada in the Florida Keys, the Theater of the Sea is an excellent place to spend a few hours. Upon entering, you'll be provided with a schedule to allow you to see everything within a 3 hour window. This includes a Parrot Show, a Dolphin Show, a Sea Lion Show and a nature walk. This organized type of... More

Much smaller than Sea World etc., meaning you are closer to the shows and feel more like in a family business close to animals; very nice.

We had a fantastic time for 4 hours... We even went through a couple of the shows a second time! Trainer Andi was exceptional and truly cared for her Sea Lions. She was energetic and friendly and very knowledgeable. Be aware that the gift shop is full of cats, and the food prices are akin to movie theaters' prices (but... More

There is so much to do here! Sea lion and dolphin shows, nature walks, sharks, information on marine life, land animals, parrots--you name it, they've got it! You can swim with the sharks, dolphins, and sting rays as well. The place is very small--you will get great personal attention and commendable service. We particularly enjoyed Andi, one of the sea...

This place was fabulous! It is soo small compared to Sea World/you are soo close to animals. We went on a Friday and it was kinda empty. Perfect. Front row seats to everything. The dolphin show: does ring tricks I've never seen at the big parks. The sea lion show: same thing. And when the audience interacted and the guests... More

Most people signed up for the swim with the dolphin program but at the advice of the cashier we signed up for the meet the dolphin even though it was only $10 cheaper. Since they were the only two signed... More

My husband & I visited without our kids. I would definitely go back to bring the kids. There were several little shows to see. They all ran on a schedule where you go from one show to another. It was great because you didn't miss anything. The shows were like "mini shows".. It would be great for kids as they... More

I have been 2 times in the past so I knew what I was getting myself into. Dolphin show is the best. Sea Lion was the worst - trainer wasn't into it - only did one part of the show in the water. Bird show was cooler than I thought it would be - trainer was funny - kind of... More

The park itself needs to be renovated, but the people are super nice, the animals are amazing & all come up so you can see them. They have many programs to swim with animals & have a new swim with sharks program, I did it. It was AMAZING! They are 4 to 5 foot long nurse sharks (very sweet, kinda... More
