Alot stuffed into a small place. Loved the turtles and penguins. The bird show and reptile show was fun.
Would have been nice to have a show in between the last couple shows, we left before the dolphin show.
Was worth the money for the conservation lesson

My wife and I went back in Feb. 2002 and liked it then. We just got back from Panama and took the kids with us this time, Enjoyed it again and the kids liked it too. I would go back again, I thought the staff does a great job, The dive team, Dolphins. Sea Lions and all others were great Keep up the good work Gulf World!
We were told 25 min in class then 25 minutes to swim with the dolphin completely around the million gallon tank for 150.00 plus tax per child. What they got were 6 people sharing this time. So they got 4 minutes with the dolphin that includes the extremely short ride across the tip end of the tank half way around it!!! They will lie to you to get ...
For the price they should offer a lot more. I couldn't believe just how little there was to do or see for the price. It smelled really bad around the birds.
No one in our family enjoyed it and felt that it was money wasted.
The park was very expensive for the small amount of things to see. It cost $77 for our party of three adults and our 2 yr old twins were free.
The website said it would take about 4 to 5 hours to go through the park. If you saw all the shows it might take 3 hours. You could walk through and see all the exhibits in 30 minutes.
The exhibits ...

Swimming with dolphins was amazing!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/29/09
I absolutely love it there! I have gone twice both times to swim with the cute dolphins! There aquarium is ok and there shows are ok but swimming with their dolphins are surreal and the other activities should be just to pass the time until you swim with these amazing animals! however it was a little on the pricey side so they could add a little more to what you do with the dolphins but it was alltogether a good day spent there!

best bird show
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/08/09
LOVED the parrot show. Best I have seen in a theme park. Enjoyed the sea lions. Dolphins were OK, pretty much like any other dolphin show. Not a fan of the swim with dolphins option. Prefer not to see them dragging way too many , way too fat tourists around. found that borderline cruel. Staff was friendly through out but would return for the gardens and parrots.

it was awesome! i went swimming with the dolphins and it was the coolest experience. hope you go!
We took our kids last year to Gulf World and was very disapointed, it was so small not a lot of stuff to see. The best part was the dolphin show and if u dont have the money to actually swim with the dolphins, its not worth the money at all the whole tour of the place including dolphin show was about 2 hours, and thats strecthing it. It cost us about 90.00 to get in for the 4 of us and it was not worth that at all.
