“Creating Memories”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

My wife and i take our grandchildren indiviually on trips to create memories for them that will last the rest of their lives. The reason for visiting the Seaquarium was for my Granddaughter and I to swim with the dolphins. We had a blast!!! The staff was awesome and treated us like friends. I would recommend this to anyone who loves animals. The granddaughter will never forget the experience.

“Misleading advertising”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

In the images shown on billboards and catalogs about Dolphins Encounter show people swimming with dolphins, which is false because it never happens. You settle for staying at the edge of the pool and just touching the dolphins. Are better places in other countries where you can actually interact with dolphins.

Dear Guest,

We are sorry to hear that you found our ads misleading. Our Animals encounter, the Dolphin Odyssey does allow participants to swim with the dolphins. I am not sure why your interaction was different and I apologize. We do hope to see you again.

Sincerely,

Miami Seaquarium

“Fantastic for the kids”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

I took my kids for what was originally just a couple of hours, and we ended up staying til closing time. Each and every attraction, from the whales to the dolphins and the birds and manatees, was spectacular, and the kids enjoyed every minute. The staff were also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful as well. The only down side was that the shows were all around midday and it was difficult to fit them all in without rushing from one to the next. But we did manage.
