It's a world-class marine-life entertainment park with eight different marine animal shows and presentations offered daily. Plus, there's no greater thrill than getting in the water with a dolphin. There are two different interactive programs available with these intelligent and graceful mammals at the new Dolphin Harbor facility. « less

I mouldn't want any one who believes in the fair treatment of animals to come here. I've been doing some research and found out that Lolita (there killer whale) is that is more than 8 sq. ft to small to be considered legal for holding a killer whale. IT'S EVEN SMALlER THAN THE SHOW TANK AT SHEDD AQUARIUM! Also when... more

The little kids had a good time (maybe since they don't understand what a ripoff it was). At the time of our visit adult admission was $35 each and parking was $8. Maybe if it was Seaworld comparable I wouldn't have minded but this was maybe 1/3 the size of Seaworld. The animals were ok and the park staff and... more

I took my two year old to Miami Seaquarium and we had lots of fun. TheKiller whale show, and the sea lion shows are a must see when visiting the park. Go see those shows first, then try to catch the other shows if you have time. Also, check out their website for special offers, and check online for promotions... more

What a let down, boring, overpriced place. I guess once you've been to Seaworld this place is just plain old dull. A serious waste of money. If in miami don't bother going here there are so many better places to spend your time. more

The Miami Seaquarium is Dump! Its not an educational place experience, unless you want to teach your kids that it is OK to force once-dignified, free wild animals to live in tanks that are to tiny, leaking water, dirty and rusty. What you will see is animal's that are forced to perform for food under constant threat of punishment. An... more

We visited Miami for vacation and decided to take in the Seaquarium. Wrong decision, lesson learned. On the internet it says to allow 4 hours for your visit, well that should be changed to an hour because that is all it took at this place for us to leave. You pay 8$ to park, 36$ for entry (per person) and... more

This is by far the worst aquarium/amusement park I've ever been to. There was no air conditioned area (anywhere), the tanks and enclosures were dirty and outdated, and I don't think the animals were properly cared for. We nicknamed it algae-world because algae was growing on everything from the manatees to the sides of the aquariums. There was trash strewn... more

Our family took a day trip to Miami to visit the Seaquarium while we were on vacation in Ft. Lauderdale. We have been to two Sea Worlds in different places (San Antonio and Orlando), and expected something similar. It was similar in concept with the animal shows, but that is about it. Seaquarium is much smaller, and had a somewhat... more

What an overpriced nothing! Spent over $140 for my family of 4 for a dirty, small, outdated marine park. Nothing was air-conditioned except for the food and souvenir concessions. Tanks looked to small for the larger animals. Go to the Miami Zoo instead. more

I have heard a lot of bad things about the Miami Seaquarium. I have looked at photos, read reviews, studied the Seaquarium's animals, looked at aerial views of the park, etc. over the years, and this year, August 12, 2009, I finally visited the park. And it was amazing. In just about every show, you are just feet away from... more
