It was Wonderful. We enjoyed touching and feeding the dolphins. I definitely recommend this experience.

Day of Dolphins

I loved the dolphin experience, we were up close and personal. We got to feed the siphon a fish, learned and gave some hand signs and loved on the dolphin. Next time we would love to try an even longer experience!!! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable too.

Excellent

Purchased this experience for my grandson and his family.  They were beyond excited when they realized they would be interacting with dolphins.  An experience they will remember forever.

Great Experience

The Dolphins encounter was an wonderful experience that we will never forget.

The kids had an absolute blast. Who doesn’t love dolphins?!

A Blast

Fantastic place. My family and I had a wonderful experience. Enjoyed the up-close encounters with the animals.

Gulfarium

I had a great experience with meeting the Dolphins. A++++++

Meet a Dolphin

The kids really liked the encounter with the dolphins

Dolphin encounter

It was very nice to have a chance to touch and feed a dolphin, but it was very, very short, only 5 minutes. If you are a family of 4 that makes $140 plus fees and taxes, so over $150 altogether. And extra for the photos that the Gulfarium employees take. My advice: pay for the kids, wait outside the fence and take your own pictures.

Sweet but short

It was awesome just wish for 39 dollars you had more then 5 mins with them.. all the trainers were very friendly and knowledgeable

My kids and I LOVED IT! This is the closest we’ve ever been to dolphins and getting up and close and getting splashed and it being part of general admission was amazing!! We loved everything about this place!

Amazing!!

Enjoying

This water park is in Destin, and considering it's surrounded by beaches I did expect some extra bells and whistles considering tickets were over $50. What we enjoyed was the fact that the park was not over-saturated with people. You could move freely about and there was plenty of seating. We did try to reserve a cabana but they were sold out for the day. I will tell you that having a cabana is not necessary. Especially if the goal is to enjoy the park. Save the money and get the $18 locker for personals and throw your towels and shoes on a lawn chair. The lines were short and the majority of the slides we enjoyed multiple times consecutively.  The biggest slide though only had one side functioning. Which wouldn't have been so bad, but it was the furthest trek and it has to be enjoyed with a single or double person tube, we carried a double person tube. Overall it was time well spent and even though the weather was hot the water park kept us very cool.

Great day, but expected more

Filled with fun and lots of  water attractions . Our family of 5, we enjoyed.

Great!!! Highly recommended

I took five of my grandchildren to visit because they all have an interest in science. They loved the animals and robotics sections the best.  It was very educational and we were very impressed with all the activities  you offered.

Retired teacher

Took my kiddo on a cloudy day and she had a blast! We especially loved the bubble experience and all the new things out back like the nature trail and tree forts. We will definitely be back!

Fun on a cloudy day!

Perfect birthday getaway for a small family vacation.

Loved it!

The one on one encounter with the  penguins was priceless. Having a one on one with the penguin handler and hearing about where they come from their habits, their diet and their interactions with each other as well as their human handlers was very interesting. Being able to pet them and feed them, it was beyond exciting. Money well spent if we visit again I think will do the very same with the dolphins my son thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience as didI. I highly recommend it.

Penguin Encounter

It was a lot fun. My only complaint was that we had to pay for photos. It's 26 a piece for general admission, 48 a piece for penguins, and then another 40 dollars for photos. I think after 150.00 already spent they could throw in the photos for free. Especially since you can't take your own photos on a personal device.

Penguins!!!!

My grandkids and I all had a great time, the shows were entertaining .

I loved the interaction as well as the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Out of the encounters I did, this one was by my far my favorite! Milo was just the cutest and seemed so happy to be with us. We learned a lot about him and how to care for our environment to make sure the wild animals are safe and can live long life like him. I would 10/10 recommend this encounter.

Milo is the cutest

This was an unreal experience! Seals are such beautiful and smart animals, and I’m so glad I got to meet Milo and his son Ollie. The trainers showed off how intelligent these animals were by showing us basic tricks. Most of these tricks are learned as ways to make it easier for the trainers to care for them whether it’s brushing their teeth or having them get into specific positions to check their health. This was such a memorable experience, and I’m so grateful I was able do it.
