Great shows for the family! We took children ages 2-17. It was really hot and the 2 year old was restless but otherwise enjoyed it. The 13 and 17 year olds were bored, but the 6 year old loved it..and so did my husband and I! Be sure you have a good camera and be ready for action. I got some great photos. The aqaurium part leaves much to be desired.

Nothing, nothing, nothing like the beautiful aquarium in my hometown.

Save your money and avoid!

I have been to aquatic centers all over the country and this was without a doubt the worst! This place is rundown,dirty and way overpriced....the people on this site giving it good reviews must have gone to a different gulfarium than we did...or they are employees of it. Fortunately for other potential victims my wife was able to warn them in the parking lot before they threw away their cash and time....DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY!!

There's not much to see and you spend 20 bucks per adult to see it (I think it was 12 per kid). Maybe I'm spoiled because I live not far from the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Save your money.

This is like a small Sea World. It did cost $65 for 4 of us but worth it to do something different besides the beach. They had 3-4 live shows that last about 30 mins each. It was nice and would go again. It was very hot and they had large icee drinks for $4.75 with $2.75 refills. We stayed about 2 hours here since the kids were hot and ready for the beach. P.S. for the dolphin show........you can line up by the railing to watch the show which will be the best place to see. (If in front of elevators, you may get wet!) If your not on the first or second row up in the bleachers, then your not going to be able to see much.
