Our family of 7 did the Immersion for $189 a person (plus a 10 percent AAA discount that they applied after we were finished). We were in the water for 1 hour with the dolphins. We were broken up into 2 groups of 4 (one other man did it with our family). Each group had a dolphin to interact with. One was a mom and her baby was also in our tank. ...
We went to Marineland with our 9 year old granddaughter. We did not know what to expect. We ended up doing a touch and feed with a Dolphin. We had a full 20 minutes alone with a trainer, a Dolphin(Nellie) and the 3 of us. What a thrill. Unlike Seaworld where you are given a small paper tray of fish, herded to the side of the tank and with a person ...

Don't waste your money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/10/09
I paid $16 (my husband and I), you can't see the dolphins 'cause the big pool has blue color glass and you cant see nothing. dont waste your money and your time.
What ever you do, do not waste your time by stopping to see Marine Land. If you get the general admission it costs $8.00 a person and what do you get for eight bucks? Well the chance to look at a big concrete pool with 2 dolphins swimming in it. You might say well that’s awesome you get to see dolphins for eight dollars. But when you think ...

What a joke
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/11/09
This is a big rip off. There is very little to see and it seems the biggest thrill is for kids to go into the pool with the dolphins. The cost is not worth what you get. They have pictures posted and you get to read all about dolphins, etc. Of course they have you go through the gift shop on the way in and the way out. Best part of the whole experience is the view of the ocean!!!!
I booked a group visit for my scouts and their family.If you don't pay big bucks there is nothing to do.The group sales person never explained how things had changed at Marineland.I had a group of disappointed boys.

What an experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/21/08
Last summer my husband and I had a chance to swim with the dolphins at MarineLand. While this isn't Sea World (where they force the animals to perform on schedule). This park is for education and information. The price for the amount of time we were able to spend with the dolphins was amazing. For less than $300, we spent about 45 minutes in ...

Expect a change from what you used to
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/07
It's much different than what it used to be. No longer shows or exhibits. If you like dolphins, and want a photograph or to swim, then go. Great memories can be had here. Call ahead or visit website so you know what to expect. Dolphin encounters are moderately priced, gift shop was great.
Just go with the intention of spending money ...

Sad
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/22/07
Sad - not only is it a shadow of it's former self, the vast contrast between here and Sea World makes it worse. I understand the University of Florida has recently gotten involved and if so, perhaps they can at least stablize it and make it a place for quality research if never again tourist attraction.

Not what you think
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/25/06
It is just two tanks with dolphins swimming around. I know the park is for more interaction and education now. The general public will be disappointed if they assume there will be some kind of show or tour.
