We are so glad that we didn’t listen to all of the negative posts. If you want a 3-4 hour fun outing for kids with less crowds this is the place. $32 for a handful of up close fish, sharks, penguins, stingrays, exotic birds, and dolphins, as well as 3 adorable shows that are timed so that you can go from show to show. Snacks and food with play area or views of Miami are there if you wanted to extend your trip. Cheaper personal encounters if you are bringing older children. As a parent who paid high dollar for Sea World, I recommend this place to get similar experience at a much cheaper price.

Pick up the bags of trash that litter your parking lot and eventually blow plastic into the bay. Clean you your area before you claim to be ocean advocates

"Amazing Experience Dolphin Swim"

I had the opportunity to visit the Miami Seaquarium for the first time"Royal Dolphin Swim" which was booked through Dolphin World. From making reservations to the end of the swim everything/everyone was professional, friendly and courteous. I had the pleasure of working with trainer Rachel. I was the only one in the group and Rachel made sure I got to see everything and allowed me to ask lots of questions. Playing and swimming with the dolphins was such an amazing experience. The park itself was clean and maintained including the dolphin tanks. The photographer took amazing pictures and the cost was very reasonable. Please check out @chewbakathelilacbully on IG to see dock diving bulldogs! Thanks for making my experience so unique and special.

It is a pleasant place with cool shows with dolphins, sea-lions and all, but the place is in horrible shape unfortunately, and the tickets are 45 bucks with sales tax, also there are very few people.Food was good but in small portions, And a broken ride… that was in Ruins. No one takes care of the place we were disappointed with this place. Go to other aquariums in the city.

Sea Aquarium by itself was not that good but very few sea animals and nothing much to see. But there were couple of shows - One for dolphin and other with Sea Lions which were very good.
