“Lots to see, kids enjoyed it. I thought dolphin show was tops.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Fairly typical of a large sea aquarium/dolphin show-facility. Older facility. Dolphin show is standing only, no seating. We stood right next to the trainer platform where there is a gap in the rail and had a great close-up view of the dolphins and still a view of the "ring." Nice show. Was able to see some of the swim-with-dolphins in the facilities toward to back of the property. Fairly uncrowded later in the day. Worth a try to get a peek. Overall a very pleasant experience for my young daughters and me. A bit pricey, but maybe there are some coupons that we did not know about. We did get a small discount with a promo card from the hotel attractions rack.

“Good Attraction”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

I had a great time at the Miami Seaquarium. The Dolphin and Killer Whale show was my highlight but all the shows were enjoyable. Nice grounds, that are clean and well maintained. Staff at the gift shop were very helpful. There are Birds on the grounds. Fun place for kids and adults alike. For anyone who enjoys Dolphins and Aquatic life the Miami Seaquarium is a must to visit.

“Expensive, but worth the swim with dolphins”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

Good for young families with children under 10. The Dolphin Experience is pricey, but where else can you let your under 10 year-old child hug, kiss, and pet a dolphin while wearing a wetsuit and sharing the same water? Wait until the child is old enough to not need an adult to accompany, or you'll have to pay the extra $150 for the adult (which I did). The other animals in the park are pretty cool, like a mini-Sea World, especially holding the large parrots and petting the stingrays.
