The killer whale show was awesome. This is a fantastic place for kids and adults alike. Also try a hot dog from Pinks in the park, very good.
Tennis GregDecember 31, 2012
The whale show is the best by far! If your kids wanna do the rides etc be sure and get it in before 5pm We went to the 4 main shows then were disappointed to discover all rides had closed.

This was Miami’s first marine-life attraction when it opened in 1955, as well as the world’s largest one at the time.
Marco IllescasMay 8, 2018
Shows are kinda slow as the trainers don’t push the animals to perform and they don’t stress them out, considering the space where they are held is small I think that’s good, thank the opportunity.

It's amazing place in Miami! I advise to visit it after you have arrived !! If you have children's or you are alone or with a friended it doesn't matter just go! You'll enjoy it!!!!
Emiliano ViadaOctober 20, 2015
Excellent shows!! All of them, dolphins, killer whale, sea lions, etc. Totally recommendable.

For an additional fee, you can make your visit even more memorable by swimming with the dolphins in a two-hour program led by marine training staff. Read more

Make sure to arrive 15 minutes prior to the first show you plan on attending otherwise you will be unable to get in as it fills out very quickly during summer time!!!

If you want to stay dry, avoid the first 4 stadium rows at the Killer Whale and Dolphin Show, where the pacific white-sided dolphins and Lolita the killer whale focus their back-flops and splashing. Read more

Original piece of Miami and hasn't changed. Give yourself about 2 not much else to do as park is very small. Not Sea World
Chris GotEmhatinonmeApril 7, 2012
Had a great time. Enjoyed the animals and the wildlife present that wasn't part of the exhibits. Will go again. Food and drinks way over priced tho!!!
Opal GibsonDecember 5, 2013
The Flipper Dolphin Show was great...but the Sea Trek Reek Encounter was amazing!
@DayngrAugust 7, 2014
Free willy! Ok, seriously, this is the place of my childhood but now that I'm an adult it's so sad to see the conditions these mammals live in. Time to set these beauties free or retire them.

Take the kids to this awesome oceanarium, where you can meet learn about and swim with dolphins, and see killer whales, dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and lots of more amazing marine life.
Amir FathiAugust 31, 2014
I hope people start realizing what they are supporting by visiting this facility. Miami Seaquarium has been keeping these animals in captivity for their benefit and growth, which is not acceptable.

Don't park at the aquarium, it's 8 dollars; park at the public lot right before it for free. It is expensive, but I enjoyed seeing animals I haven't seen at east coast aquariums.
Debra ParmaAugust 26, 2014
If you plan on doing any animal encounters, just consider how long you're going to be standing around in a hot wet suit in 90 degree weather.
Small Fry SchoolsFebruary 7, 2012
Best place to take the kids! I would suggest parking elsewhere to save money & would advise you to watch the dolphin show :)
Steinar EriksenFebruary 20, 2019
Nice park with educational shows about the animals. The Manatee Cafe is old and worned out. Food did taste awful. We had grilled chicken and it was heated in the microwave.
James CAugust 25, 2014
Expensive. But all the shows are included need to make a day out of it to get the money's worth but there are tons of discounts. Really nice manatee exhibit.
Heather KujawskiDecember 21, 2011
Tried to use 1st time check in special and they said I needed it on paper. Not sure what that is. But other than that it's great. I love the shows and it's always a good time
Demetrios StakiasJuly 23, 2010
nice to visit, but adventure aquarium in camden NJ was better... i did like the pacific dolphin and killer whale show and the sea lions were precious. plus the talking birds and baby alligators. wif

If you've been to Orlando's SeaWorld, you may be disappointed with Miami's version, which is considerably smaller and not as well maintained.
Denis ShapovalenkoOctober 8, 2023
Dolphins and other animals are dying here, it is a graveyard and a murderhouse. It must be closed and never exist. There is no love to animals here at all, just death for entertainment.
MasterCardMarch 16, 2012
Book with your Wolrd Elite MasterCard & receive discounts off the Sea Trek Reef Encounter, park admission & the dolphin interaction program! See location for details.
okzygenMarch 19, 2011
Park opens at 9:30AM. If you get here 15-20 minutes before the park opens, you can park for free! Worked for me, but YMMV.
Marina MolinaJuly 31, 2015
Better interaction with animals than Sea world. Beautiful rescue program.
Jay LMay 24, 2017
Not enough space for the animals, show have 1 hour gaps be prepared to spend 6 hours if you want to see all the shows.
Wyki TysonAugust 18, 2015
The staff is phenomenal. Swam with the Dolphins & loved it!

The Flipper show! But avoid going in the summer if possible, the heat is unbearable :(
Stephan F. RebbeMarch 17, 2010
avoid this place! the best years of this aquarium are over. the show with the orca as well as the dolphin show were entertaining and professional but forget the rest.
My Miami ConnectionSeptember 1, 2011
Swim with the Dolphins a must do! Make a reservation first!http://www.miamiseaquarium.com/dolphin_swim/dolphin_swim.aspCourtesy of esolmiami.com
Jeremy BeelerMay 5, 2012
Almost $100 for two people plus parking. It wasn't very nice or big and it made me sad. The animals didn't have a big enough area.
Dina SofiaAugust 5, 2015
The facility as a whole isn't the cleanest. The clientele isn't the best either.
Denis ShapovalenkoOctober 8, 2023
Dolphins are dying here, it is a graveyard and a murderhouse. It must be closed and never exist. They don’t even allow dogs on parking lot, there is no love to animals here at all, just death.
Marcelo StenzelNovember 3, 2013
The aquarium needs maintenance and more attractions. It is a shadow of Seaworld Orlando.
Maria D.October 13, 2012
Today all teachers get in for free and up to 4 of their guests are 50% off. Park closes at 6 pm
Mery EffendiDecember 14, 2012
There's many kind of fish..and children will love it :)

So much fun. The new swim with the seal program is a blast.
Hernán RosarioDecember 13, 2014
The killer whale show is not being shown because they are repairing some things
Klára PodobováJune 11, 2014

Reinaldo ParreirasNovember 16, 2014
Kinda disappointed with the attractions and quality of services. Also too expensive, but enough for 2 hours of fun.
Eduardo StrachanMarch 26, 2016
Pricey for the quality a few bucks more and go to Seaworld!
Brian ClancyOctober 28, 2014
Don't seat in the front rows unless you want to get wet!
