Absolutely terrible experience.
Most of the attractions were closed. Have to be fabricated reviews!

Extremely expensive for what it is.
I don’t normally give reviews but this place is awful! The shark tank was murky with stuff floating on top so couldn’t see anything. We walked the entire park and saw everything that we could see within a half hour. Did not want to stay for the shows that were timed quite a bit apart. The experiences are extremely expensive for what they are.

Possibly the absolute worst aquarium I've ever been too. For the price youd think they'd have more seat for the shows, and more to do.

I would never recommend this place. Extremely small, visited every exhibit and only took 2 hours spending 15 to 20 min at each one. Every show was packed did not let you stand and watch.

Joseph, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The Gulfarium is a small, local aquarium that is geared towards rehabilitation and release of sea life. They do offer sea lion and dolphin shows a few times a day and you are required to sit in the stands for that for your own safety (and to stay dry!). I'm sorry you did not enjoy this activity but we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. -Tripshock! Director of Sales

Don't waste your money! The animals water looks filthy, and showed up in all our pictures. Wasn't very big. We went through the whole place in an hour. Had some rude employees. My kids enjoyed the dolphin show that was it. Too much money. Was very disappointed.

Felt guilty paying to see dolphins in this cage "aquarium," after questioning they said the pool was regulation size but so are prison cells. And it felt like these poor animals were in a prison cell. Let them go. And dont pay to see this.
