My visit to the seaquarium was quite disappointing. The ownership and management of the park have clearly deteriorated over time. The staff, however, deserve praise for their dedication and positive attitude despite the sad state of the environment. The park itself is in serious disrepair, with broken attractions, empty aquariums, and blocked playground access. It's a far cry from what it used to be in the past. Even though the staff does their best to keep things clean, the organization as a whole seems to be letting things go to ruin. The treatment of the animals is also a concern. They deserve better lives after being forced to perform unnatural tricks for so many years. The small tanks filled with filthy water are not acceptable. I understand why there are numerous negative reviews, as my firsthand experience aligns with them. The facilities were not well maintained, including very dirty restrooms despite the park just opening. Some exhibits were under construction, including the absence of a killer whale show. If you decide to visit, it should be with the intention of supporting the efforts of the staff to care for the animals, rather than expecting a wow factor or a fully enjoyable experience. It's unfortunate that such a once-prominent park has declined so much, and it's not worth your time and money unless you have a strong desire to support the animal care efforts.

It was a very nice experience, lots of fun. What I didn't like was that when you pay for dolphin interaction it doesn't include the picture. At first I had the wrong impression with it. I thought that 1 picture was included. The animal presentation was nice. They have sprinkler around the park to help with heat. Different food or snack carts around. Overall it was a pleasant experience, my child enjoyed it very much and for me that is what matters most. 😊

We didn't get to see the orca, don't know what happened. There were some attractions that were closed and the staff itself seemed a bit fed up Overall you should visit it just out of curiosity

They didn't have many animals out but it was still nice got to watch the dolphins perform and I'll be coming back more in the summer time like may thru probably August

It's a decent aquarium with a decent amount of exhibits. Some stuff seemed closed and we had a tough time understanding the show times for the flipper show. Overall, just seems overpriced for what it is, plus it has $20 parking. The place seems run down some and the water is cloudier than any other aquariums I have been too, which makes it challenging to see the But the kids did love it so that's all that matters.

Swimming with the dolphins was a phenomenal experience. Trainers are wonderful and give clear direction and inform all guests how to be safe for themselves and the dolphins. You can not bring your cell phone, which makes it very expensive because you're limited to just purchasing the photos that the photographer takes. The aquarium staff throughout the entire park are very friendly and helpful. Attractions are very limited and few. We enjoyed the sea lion show and the dolphin show, but that was really it. Good experience, but it needs a revamp.

You have to be lucky not to get caught in the rain, as the park is open-air😊 Animal shows start at different times🐬 you can take a walk with the children. There are various delicious snacks for sale here, you won't go hungry.

I was disappointed with the size of the aquarium. I thought it would be significantly larger considering its in Miami. There are two gift shops which sell the same thing. Shirts for adults and children are limited in variety. We watched the dolphin show and it was fun, but the program was really short. I needed a manual wheelchair but the only ones available were motorized and they wanted me to pay money to use it. I purchased my tickets online and the Aquarium offers a military discount. Parking is free and there are ample parking spots. I did enjoy seeing the manatees, sting rays, flamingos, and the big tank where you can see all kinds of sea life. I don't think I would spend the money to come to this aquarium again.

Miami Seaquarium’s parking lot is larger than Tokitae‘s (stage name Lolita) teeny tiny tank. Tokitae hasn’t seen another Orca of her kind since 1980 after Hugo died from an aneurysm after repeatedly ramming his head against the cement wall. Hurricane Irma?? Miami Seaquarium left Lolita to fend for herself in the tank. They could have relocated her to safety to protect her, but they didn’t. They will abandon her again during other hurricanes which are becoming more frequent and stronger. You see a huge, extremely intelligent being in this small rundown tank. You KNOW how wrong it is for her to be locked up like this. Lolita does not need to die in the tank. YOU CAN HELP HER. YOU can SAVE LOLITA. Support her release to the seaside rehabilitation sanctuary in her home state of WA. She will be monitored 24/7 by Marine Biologists and Veterinarians who will put her safety and well-being first! Lolita will feel the ocean currents again and her mother’s voice. The sanctuary is ready. Her mother, Ocean Sun, and family are very much alive and are waiting for her. September 24 will be 50 years. You can save her by not supporting her suffering. Please don’t buy a ticket to this park. Lolita deserves her freedom. Visit Lolita in her natural habitat.

Sea aquarium is very old and very small. We were able to do the visit in 2 hours. The tanks seam very small for the large animals. The staff was very friendly.

My boyfriend and I wanted to visit this place to learn a little about the marine life of the area, we understand that going to an aquarium is something fun and informative, where you can be near marine animals that are very difficult to meet in other circumstances. After reading some reviews, we realized that this aquarium basically operates as a "circus" where they have imprisoned that beautiful 50-year-old Orca. Seriously don't go to this place, this is really sad, don't be an accomplice in this heartless mistreatment of these poor animals. I only see reviews of parents who are excited about their children, do you really want to teach this type of cruelty to your kids?

Not the Aquarium but port just North of it Beautiful white tent, spectacular views Great venue for events. Can't say enough about it. Enjoyed my nieces wedding here.

This is a nice little park that will take a half day to experience. Don't come expecting sea world as it's an older establishment but it is well worth a trip if you need to entertain children. We did the dolphin experience and my teenage kids loved it, one even said it was the best part of the entire week!! It is a bit pricey but the memories are what you come here for.

Honestly not worth the 50$ at all Highly disappointing experience , many shows were not available , the place is really old and in urgent need of a renovation. We went to many other aquariums abroad and locally and they were all cheaper and better. However truth be told the staff are really friendly and helpful and i admired that about them.

Do not visit this place. If you’re looking for a nice family outing, DON'T spend your money here. It’s so sad. Their captive Orca Lolita, lives all by herself in a tiny tank. They have kept their Orca in solitary confinement for 50 years. Orca’s are not solitary by nature. In the wild, they are social animals that live in large family pods. Think about how frustrating than pandemic was when we were forced to stay confined at home. Now expand that to a 50-year pandemic, where you are stuck in a single room, you’re never allowed to see any of your family, and you are forced to perform tricks for your food. This is the life of the Orca you would be paying to see at Miami Seaquarium. Lolita is housed in the smallest, oldest orca tank in the U.S.—one that doesn’t even meet the federal Animal Welfare Act’s minimum size requirement. She has no shelter from the blistering Miami sun. The parking lot is larger than the Orca’s tiny tank. You see a huge, extremely intelligent animal in this small rundown tank. You KNOW how wrong it is for her to be locked up like this. Don’t buy a ticket to this horrible place.

Visited on Saturday, May 14, 2022. The “shows” are geared towards kids primarily but fun to see as adults. The park seems a bit run down. Bathrooms we’re in good shape. It was not near as busy as we expected it to be. We arrived at open and left after 5 hours. Great walking. Easy to follow their maps. FLIPPER was neat. Top Deck Dolphin show was great. Sea Lion show very entertaining. Too much talking in each show. Not enough tricks and flips. A nice day in the sun and they do not really gouge you here in the pricing of trinkets, but it is expensive as most attractions are.

Associate or trainer that was in the shows named Veronica I believe was very rude made people uncomfortable. Veronica made the experience completely negative for many people Everything other than Veronica the old lady, Wonderful place loved everything it’s amazing for kids!! Sea world is an amazing place to go with family and friends the food was super good too

Somewhat disappointed with many exhibits closed. With that said, the shows were amazing , made my visit worthwhile.

First, let me say I'm a huge aquarium fan. I've been to over 40, but this is the first and only one that I can genuinely say I hated. The enclosures are small, run down, and look like they haven't been renovated in 30 years. Half of the enclosures gave the animals almost no room to move around. Putting the closure of some shows aside due to covid, there were numerous exhibits that were just vacant from who knows what reason. Probably because the owners don't reinvest in the property or the animals habitats. I debated coming here after reading all the negative reviews, but I know there's a lot of negative Nancy's that just like to leave poor reviews because of their own issues. I wish I would've listened this time. They charge more than the Georgia Aquarium for admission, and that is the best aquarium I've been to personally. Where are they spending the money, because it's clearly not being spent in the interest of the animals they care for. I think the employees behind the scenes probably are trying their best to keep the animals happy and healthy, but I wish I could've met the animal care employees to see what they think. The rest of the employees seemed like they'd be happier working at McDonald's. The Orca picture is where it lives, no connected pool to swim in. (I'm not one of those people who hates animals in captivity since there's usually a good reason behind it, whether it's a rescue or whatnot, but give it a larger tank, sheesh.)

Some of the exhibitions we're closed. It seemed the place was all about the dolphins with a side of sea lions, manatees, turtles, stingrays, and sharks. The park is small. Could walk the entire thing is less than 30 minutes. Daughter still enjoyed herself (4.5 yrs old). Will not be returning until she is at least 10 yrs old. Minimum to swim with dolphins or feed sea lion while in the pool with them.

I am sitting in my hotel room right now sobbing after visiting here today. Some friends took us here thinking we would love to see a beautiful aquarium. When we saw the stadium where the killer whale show was, we were initially excited, but when we saw the whale swimming around listlessly and looking so sad it broke my heart. Honestly, our swimming pool back home was bigger than hers!! I can't imagine living my whole life in something THAT small! She didn't even have a way to get out of the sun, poor thing and it wasn't even that hot today! I can't imagine what it would be like in the middle of summer!! Needless to say we left immediately as we were so disturbed by what we saw that we couldn't enjoy anything else. We will DEFINITELY make sure that any aquariums we visit in the future don't have any whales or dolphins residing there. TOTALLY disgusted.

Considering the situation with covid y'all need to install more places to wash your hands around the park The flipper show was OK NO killer whale show, and it was the main reason we chose to visit this place. The food overpriced and low quality. And the ticket prices are way too expensive $210 for 2 Adults & 2 kids, bought online for $178 which I still think is too expensive. Felt sorry for the manatees in such a small pool.

Fun place to visit - a mix between an aquarium and a zoo with a few live shows. Kids of any age and even adults should be entertained for 2 to 3 hours. Some of the shows are very impressive. Plan to see all the shows and go see the live animals in between. We had a group of four adults and we stayed three to four hours and did pretty much everything. Not much for food options and I don't believe they let you bring your own food so that's something to consider.

Went this weekend and I must say it's a stark difference than when I went a few years back, it's a tad bit run down and even the kids rated it a 6 out of 10 and I feel they were generous. The shows used to be more fun, the staff talked my ear off and sitting there I almost followed out the many people leaving because of their non-stop talking and to be quite frank was annoying. Don't know if it's because of COVID-19 and everywhere was closed and funds to run the place we're limited but truly there is no need I feel to bring any of my visiting families here again... Sad because I enjoyed the first time I went years back ..

Visited this place on 8/6/23 (was there ALL day) For those that are saying this aquarium is no good, I really think they are just a free the animals kind of people (and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing at all)! But also if you’ve been somewhere like sea world, this is VERY small in comparison! So I wouldn’t judge it compared to that, because there are no rides. Only aquatic marine life and exhibited. We also overheard that this place has just recently been taken over by new owners, because the old ones where no longer able to keep up with it anymore. I’m sure Covid didn’t help either. For the most part it was fairly clean, I think they are working on getting it back up to 100%… but they can’t do that unless people go. We did the dolphin encounter, which was truly AWESOME! And even got seal kisses too! The food was good too, nothing fancy, but your basic park type foods! Now I bet did have a Wendy’s frosty trailer/truck… and yea it was the real deal. Which was a perfect treat on a seriously hot day! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! I would definitely go back and visit again.

There was a leak in the manatee exhibit. Very unhygienic, there was trash all over the floor. The water for some animals was filthy, the food choices were very limited and expensive. For 4 of us 80$ for burgers and hot dogs. Barely any marine life. The animals are forced to do shows 2-3 times a day daily. The whale is in the smallest orca pool in the world. Awful service. No variety of culture. Almost all the workers are caucasian and the dolls in the stores as well. Miami is such a diverse place and I'm disappointed by this. The entrance is extremely expensive around 40$ per person. The shows were lackluster and very limited. There isn't a lot to do at this seaquarium and it most definitely runs on the back of the orca whale.

Very expensive and very boring. Two short shows to see and a few very empty exhibits. Most concession stands closed and all playgrounds closed. Not well kept. With all those months of the pandemic closed, you would expect great shows and entertainment. Very disappointing; not worth $50 entrance fee. Will not be back in a long while.

What a cute place! My boyfriend and I enjoyed seeing all the animals and the gift shop was a fun place to visit on the way out. This was a great stop for a good half day of activities and they even had food and drink options in the park so you wouldn't have to worry about packing a picnic or leaving. Overall, we had a delightful time.

Just don’t go. Really sad place, sad animals, sad enclosures. The only way to truely see these majestic, intelligent, family oriented, sentient beings is in the wild where you can admire how amazing they are. The enclosure for Lolita offers no protection from the sun and is not even legally big enough. They claim they can’t afford to give her a legally acceptable tank....a disgrace.

Way way overpriced and nothing special at all. Definitely not worthy of an aquarium of a city of this size. It is clearly dated and old and on top of the overpriced ticket they have the audacity to charge for parking as well. When you don’t have a choice but to park there. Better off using your time doing something else.

Overall a great experience! The staff are friendly and the park was beautiful. Sad that we missed Lolita, it wasn’t until we got there we found out the show was closed for renovations. We ended up doing the dolphins encounter which was amazing! It was longer than we expected, which was nice, and the trainers were really sweet! I highly recommend making this trip. The Miami Seaquarium is a Miami classic. I was transported to my childhood and I’m happy to share it with my children. 10/10 recommend. Go during the week and miss the crowd it’s much better!

This place is fun! If you get there when the park opens 10am you can knock out all the shows consecutively by 1230. Then you're free to enjoy the park until it closes at 5. You cannot get more intimate with these types of animals anywhere without paying major fees. We got splashed by a dolphin and petted sharks and stingrays all in the same day. Good times!

The animals are nice to see. That in itself is an experience. Disappointed with the service relating to dolphin show. Their camera "malfunctioned" and we only got limited amount of pics from the end of the dolphin interaction. Flew here from Canada, spent $700 for my kids to interact with the dolphins. Would have liked the cameras to be working. They gave me a free print out of a pic that worked for compensation. Mixed experience.

Had loads of fun with the different animals and sea life. The Dolphin shows were amazing!!! You can pet stingrays, view manatees up close and penguins. The employees are very customer oriented and knowledgeable about the sea life. I have been to other Aquariums around the country but this one was alot of fun.

Had a few good exhibits, a good number of exhibits were closed and was a bit run down. Has sea lions, dolphins and other animals. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The have combo meals. The gift shop was nice but not much to choose from. It seemed low on inventory.

It's a well maintained, beautiful place with a lots of shows: dolphin, seal, orca, etc.,there are 2 of dolphins. All show are cool especially the seal one. A cool water playground for the kids but there's a wild park with crocodiles/alligators and giant turtles and a deer as well. A beautiful souvenir shop with a lots of toys for the kids, a ray pet and feeding in every hour and parrots are right above your head. There are dolphin, seal and ray swim too but they are expensive in my opinion.

Orca Lolita have been kept in tiny space for DECADES! SHAME!

BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE! Cheaper if you buy them sitting in the car than walking to the ticket counter! Some great things to see but very limited experiences due to covid. The turtles in discovery Key was eye opening. I was glad someone is taking care of them, but felt so bad for their injuries 🥺. It was difficult to social distance during many exhibits. The manatees were wonderful to watch.

So much fun! Definitely worth checking out with the family - staff were all welcoming and knowledgeable and the exhibits were well taken care of. A few areas are still closed due to Covid but overall we enjoyed our visit and are glad we took a few hours to do so.

Needs lots of improvements to it's buildings. Showing it's age. My kids enjoyed it. Definitely not worth the whole price try to get tickets discounted. We are fortunate they were having a cyber sale because of the holiday.

I really enjoyed this place, the only reason I took away a star is some of the attractions were closed that I wanted to see. I did get to see the Manatees that I really wanted to see though! Great for adults and kids! Be sure to wear light clothing as it's an outdoor aquarium!

(Translated by Google) Horrible, depressing and cruel. There is more space to sell pizza and burgers than to have the marine animals that have been living poorly for years in tiny enclosures where they cannot even move. Dolphins, sharks, manatees, Leo’s are marine ... sad, hitting the cages over and over again, day after day, year after year. (Original) Horrible, deprimente y cruel. Hay más espacio para vender pizza y burgers que para tener a los animales marinos que llevan años malviviendo en diminutos recintos donde no pueden ni moverse. Delfines, tiburones, manatees, Leo’s es marinos... tristes, golpeando las jaulas una y otra vez, día tras día, año tras año.

We had a blast at the Miami Seaquarium!! After vacationing in Miami for 8 days (and many great experiences), the Seaquarium was our favorite for both kids and adults. Some of the food places were shut down though we were able to get lunch at a pizza place. Watch out for the birds; they aggressively pursue food!

Its terrible. Last time I was here was about 30 years ago. It looks the same, garbage everywhere.

Might be wise to give your killer wale a larger enclosure, but that obviously won’t happen. Congratulations for destroying the lives and spirit of Lolita and Hugo

This place was so great and we loved it here! There was so much to check out.the only bummer was the killer whale show was too short compared to 2017 when i first came here. But overall, it’s worth it. Would highly recommend especially for families! The kids will enjoy the sea lion, flipper dolphin and killer whale shows.

Miami Seaquarium is a beautiful place. I was amazed seeing the Dolphins show, actually that was the best part. If there was more species of sharks 🦈 to see it will be great. The See Lions are so beautiful. For some reason the whale 🐳 area is closed and so other areas are closed 🤷‍♀️ well for the full price of tickets 🎟 I really would have liked to see everything. When it comes to food 🍱 not much options and it's not a problem, but the options you get unfortunately is Not yummy, so I recommend to have a good breakfast before or lunch 🥗.

Has lots of varieties of sea animals and birds. The shows are enjoyable. The animal show time when we went were: 11am (The Dolphin show) -12pm (Sea Lion) -1pm (Flipper show *Best*). 2hrs is more than enough to explore the entire Seaquarium

The aquarium is very nice place to visit with kids. If you already been to Sea World it may not impress you but its closeness to see and relatively quite ambience is really cool. I enjoyed the shows and hats off to the great team of experts whose hard work is making this place a success.

We were excited to visit this seaquarium, never went before. My son is 5 years old and he was boring. All playground are closed due to Covid-19 and Dolphin show as well. It needs maintenance 😒 and it is small. the whale show and the sea lions were good, but there are hardly any fish exhibitors. The penguins are cute but they don't have a show. Not worth what it costs even with the current discount at $29.99.

We had a great time, everything is near and close to each other. There was no lugging, walking or dragging from one end of park to the other. Unfortunately, Flipper's show was closed for maintenance but overall My 3 yr. Old granddaughter and I had a fun filled day.

You can spend an entire day at the aquarium without getting bored. They have tons of activities for all ages groups. One of my favorites was the seal show and a kiss with the seal.

Gorgeous day trip to Miami! Had a fantastic time. Due to covid-19 not to crowded. A lot of food places extremely slow service. Overall a good trip and a good day!

We went here on Christmas and have to say it was a very good time, even with the flipper show closed. The staff was very friendly, my only complaint is that it is not very handicap friendly. My wife was in a wheelchair and the only option for the shows put her in the splash zones. Also the upper deck dolphin show can't be reached if you are handicap as the building is dated and no elevator.

Beautiful place to share with family, specially kids , you can spend the whole day walking around and seeing the animals shows , sea lions , dolphins and the whale are the most impressive shows that you can see. The sanctuary for the abused turtles represent a great labor done by the staff , I definitely recommend parents to share this experience with their kids to teach then to love the animals and fight more to preserve our beautiful planet , here you can see the nature in a big way and learn a little bit more about the huge ocean life.

Smallest Orca tank in the US. Incredibly depressing to witness this abuse. DO NOT GO HERE

Went here couple of weeks ago. Place is fun for first time visit, we watched a shark and dolphin show. As well as seal show. Which was fun. I loved both the shows Saw plenty of fishes. Well it's a good tourist attraction, you can buy also tickets if you want to swim or pat the dolphins. Place was quite packed but still had fun and saw little children having fun too.

The place is nice and worth visiting, especially with kids. What I don't like is that many shows are closed: no sea lion show, no whale killing show. The Delphine show is the only one and the price for the ticket is still the same. Also there is no info at the gate, no clear information where to go if you have additional packets. The Meet the Dolphine packet is seeing and touching twice so better know before pay extra. No photography of course and their pictures are 20$ each, so if you have 3 kids prepare to pay a lot... At least they're apologizing for the inconveniences at every corner. I was expecting much more for the price especially compared to the other Seaquariums in Florida

My 2-year son enjoyed the aquarium. He loved the sharks and dolphins. We e really wanted to see the Lolita the whole but it was open due to maintenance

Good staff employees assisted me.. When overboard.. Making my experience .. But especially my kid.. Unforgettable. Thank you !! About the park.. The owners are making horrible work in maintenance... I hope they do not let this park die.. Step up and recover it. Food is too expensive. And quality no good. I will not come back.

Very very wonderful, spectacular, the animals are great, lovely. I recommend this place to visit specially with children, so the staff they treat very well to the animal to the spectators, have many shows and explains about the captivity with the animals here, I wait this place continue with the show, the price so so 50 dollars maybe a little more!!! I recommended definitely!!!

I’m not sure if I feel worse for the sea life, or for the staff that have to work there. This place desperately needs some upgrades.. half the shows were closed (covid, so I’ll give them a pass) but the other half were open and miserable looking. My nephew will need 3 months of therapy to get over this..

Aquarium

I took my family there on the first day it reopened since the pandemic, November 6th. The tickets are half the price to compensate for half of the attractions that are closed due to the Pandemic. The dolphin show has a baby dolphin less than 1 month old. The seals and sea lions have a full show and feeding. The killer whale Lolita is now the oldest Orca in human care (some people might call it captivity). I have no knowledge in marine biology so I can't say anything about what is best for her. I just hope they make her happy everyday

We were very disappointed with this place. If you expect to see a Sea World type aquarium, expect to be disappointed. Everything from the parking is a mess and the orcas you see from a distance. Save your money and don't visit this place.

Dont go. $50 per adult, $40 per Child, for a place where there is no maintenance. Everything looks so old and you can see nobody cares about it. A $10 souvenir cup which, according to the sing hanging on all the walls, the refill will be $0.99. But when you requested, they charge you $2.14 claiming "oh yeah, that sing its old" 🥸 Go yo the zoo, with the price for one in the aquarium you can buy 2 tickets and get change back. Plus, more to see. The only thing you won't see its the whale and the manatee.

It was a great experience, I love nature and animals so it is a beautiful place to go and enjoy with family and friends.

Super small... we went there last week, lots of stuff are closed and low maintenance. It’s great that they put in great effort in rescuing animals though! But for real sea/aquarium experience, this is kinda disappointing.

New Edit: I have lowered the reviews for this aquarium for the following reasons: I do not like the conditions in which some of the animals are housed in (particularly the Orca whose tank is more deep than expansive, and, despite their strange focus on the animals health, its dorsal fin showed signs of being stressed). This aquarium is, to my knowledge, not AZA accredited. I do not condone this establishment and I believe that the Orca is not in good enough conditions to be housed at this aquarium. It's okay, there's plenty of shows to watch, but some of the animals they have aren't really as interesting outside of the shows (Not that they're boring, but the exhibits are not pretty just glass and water tanks) and the conditions they're housed don't look that great. The shows are also short, about 10-15 minutes max. If you want to see more animals I'd recommend Zoo Miami.

It may have been better years ago but this is not worth the admission price of what it is currently of $50 pp. The shows were less than average and only saw about 3 shows. After that, there was nothing else to see. Dont waste your time and money.

whale spot pizza closed at 3:50 pm claiming lack of inventory. drinks bending machine not operational. it is bot possible that there is bot enough food in food stores for the park occupancy.

SET LOLITA FREE!

Sorry will not be coming back

Free the whales

Dolphins were cool. We couldn't get anything to drink. The vending machines were down. It was only dolphins, flamingos, sea turtles, sea lions and a killer whale for $50 a person. Seems like a rip off.

(Translated by Google) these orcas have nothing to do here. it is time to change things. (Original) ces orques n'ont rien à faire ici . il est temps de changer les choses.

So sad to see that in this day and age people still think it's okay to go to these shows.

(Translated by Google) I did not like it very much there are not many things to see (Original) No me gusto mucho no hay muchas cosas para ver

The best experience that I ever had, great people with great knowledge and love for their job and mission with the aquarium. Super clean and efficient. The animals are in great condition and the handlers treat them with care. I love that place and the people that work there. I recommend the Miami Seaquarium. A great place to visit with your family, friends or even alone. Go and explore these magnificent place.

The orca exhibit was closed, there weren't many fish and exhibits to see. The dolphins were pretty cool and the seal too but that was about it. Definitely over priced for what it was. It's mainly dolphins, seals, rays, nurse sharks, some penguins in a dark exhibit, flamingos and manatees. Nothing more. Not very exciting

I enjoyed the place as my baby had a great day. What he liked the most was the dolphin show. Although I do enjoy sharks and try to touch the top of the stingrays.

This experience was great for the kids and myself, it was very hot. The prices to experience the dolphins wasn’t too bad but for the pictures they were expensive.

Dirty water with bad smell as soon as you enter. Too much ecposure to COVID 19 with only one place to sell food. So, every body has to go to the same place for only pizza. No dplphin show!!!!!! Every day is worst

It was fun and I loved it I just don't like how the some of the places were closed and we did not get what we wanted to eat

To say that my toddler is happy at Miami Seaquarium would be an understatement. Since he decided that napping is no longer en vogue, Fairyland is the one jaunt that can override that. A morning spent running around, going on the merry go round and playing endlessly typically results in a quiet afternoon for me. Thank you Fairyland! Best season pass we own!

Great time! Fun, interactive. My suggestion to the park is to include more shaded places because it gets really hot with all the asphalt. Expect to pay extra for parking. Sometimes the line to get in the park is long.

Love this place! My boys love the animals. Everyone is very nice there. I will definitely be coming back to bring my whole family.

Parking is terrible. There are only 10 or so spaces available. And 3 were taken up by facilities own vehicles. Center is great. I would recommend for older children only because there are not that many exhibits. On older child can spend more time at each exhibit reading the plaque and learning about each animal, especially since the animals are so up close. Whereas a younger child would look for 2 seconds and then move onto the next animal. If you do that you finish the whole place in about 15 min.

I just wanna see me on Saturday to be honest it was the worst ocean ever got the diamond passes for $65 and not worth out of the park is it what it was 20 years ago maintenance is very poor there’s not much to do we were in the line to get something to eat for the kids for an hour and a half there’s not much to see at all I’ve been trying to get a refund back and they’re giving me a very hard time They just want to be turned 50% of what I thought it’s so unfair on there confirmation information perfectly says referred could be returned for me is requested 15 days the price of even been three days since I was in third telling me that he can do so. Never again going there

Worst experience ever everything is pretty much closed the animals that do have exhibits open look horrible and poorly treated staff was super unhelpful and acted as they didn’t even care for there job I literally left to get a refund and before I can even ask the lady in the front for the refund she already knew and just told me to make the line for refund that line was super long with a lot of angry visitors how they are still open is beyond me

Don’t support enclosure orcas. And animal’s shows like a circus

Sad place let's stop endorsing this practice.

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience (Original) Excelente experiencia

Only one restaurant open you can imagine the huge line, only an few activities there that will take at most one hour to see everything the only show worth seing was the killer whale. Thank god we did not buy the annual pass.

Sickeningly small areas to keep the animals. Disgusting to even have this place open.

I like 😍😍😍😍 so much

Vendría mill veces más cada vez que vengo me enamoro más de la suidad

Muy bueno totoooooo... sobre todo la atención

Pocos animales para ver. El show de delfines estuvo cerrado. Las 2 atracciones para niños cerradas. Lo unico bueno fue el espectaculo de los leones marino y el de las ballenas. De todo lo demas siento que deberian mejorar

Fun place to visit.

Bello lugar algo descuidado falta mantenimiento

Super expectacular

Solo atienden viernes, sábado y domingo

A good visit, but the seaquarium is showing its age...

(Translated by Google) Terrible! Super boring. The fliper show is not available and really sad to see the conditions in which they have Lolita the orca whale .... the place is sonnnnnn small that my tears came to see her ... they should change that ... but Yaaaaaaaaaaa! That is Animal Abuse ... (Original) Terrible! Súper aburrido. El show de fliper no está disponible y realmente triste ver las condiciones en las que tienen a Lolita la ballena orca .... el lugar es tannnnnnn pequeño que mis lágrimas salieron al verla ... deberían cambiar eso ... pero Yaaaaaaaaaaa! Eso es Maltrato Animal ...

If I could give it 0 stars I would. More then half of the exhibits are closed and it’s nasty in here. No social distancing and barely anyone here to enforce it. Waste of time and horrible to the animals.

(Translated by Google) The sea lion show is pretty. (Original) El espectáculo de los leones marinos es bonito.

(Translated by Google) The tank in which the dolphin family (female. Male and her baby) are found is extremely small. Dolphins swim in circles. It is sad to see the baby dolphin grow and adapt to such a small place. And what to say about the tank where the orca lives. Extremely small. It's very sad how they live in there ... all the shows and Las seals were incredible. the girls seem to love all animals but it is still a small place for them. (Original) El tanque en los que se encuentran la familia de delfines (hembra. Macho y su bebé) es extremadamente pequeño. Los delfines nadan en círculos. Es triste ver al bebé delfin crecer y adaptarse a tan pequeño lugar. Y que decir del tanque donde vive la orca. Sumamente pequeño. Es muy triste como viven ellos ahí adentro.. todos los shows y Las focas fueron increíbles. las chicas se ven que aman a todos los animales pero aún así no deja de ser un lugar pequeño para ellos.

Old park, run down. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable. The baby dolphin show was a redeeming element, but after being there for 70 minutes I was done. 1/2 off was still too much for the value but knowing they help rehabilitate mammals made it better in my mind.

Fun and distinguished, and it is preferable to attend early in order to have all the offers presented, to enjoy them. A very wonderful place

I love this place my first job my fav thing was Lolita the killer whale :)

Too good. Must visit. There Killer whale , dolphin and sealion shows are must. 50yr old Ocra is the queen of the aquarium

It's sad that is closed LO loves it

They are practicing social distancing and everyone is wearing a mask. But all the interactive experienced are closed during covid. Still lots of stuff to see like the whales and penguins.

First time here with my Wife and kids and everyone had a great time. Just pay attention to the showtimes and make sure you memorize where all of the restrooms are located, that way you can take hour young ones to the restroom quick and get back into the action.

Loved it

Lugar maravilhoso. Vamos voltar em breve. Só acho que a alimentação deveria ser melhor.

I enjoy going to the Miami to see the animals who may behave better than some humans hanging at the Civic Center plaza. I enjoyed seeing the Koala awake which is rare since they are nocturnal creatures. I also enjoy the monkeys. This one of my favorite places in Miami.

Beautiful place to share with family, specially kids , you can spend the whole day walking around and seeing the animals shows , sea lions , dolphins and the whale are the most impressive shows that you can see.

Amazing shows!

Los animales muy lindos pero no te avisan cuando vienen los show que es por lo que pagas deje el coche de mi niña ya que no se puede pasar y me robaron un peluche que compre no he terminado de salir y ya me quiero ir eso no puede ser

Estubo bien pero hay muchas cosas cerradas

Kids had a great time

DOCKSIDE BBQ!!! Best spot to eat Check out the ribs!

Had a great time. Sea lion show was a favorite.

My kids had a blast. They have feeding schedules so make sure to be on time.

is Barry Wasserman amazing place I never seen that before. it's enjoyable place. very very awesome place. weirdest day what did whole day without tired.

Ok

We went here on Christmas and have to say it was a very good time

Great for a tourist like myself. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the Orca, because it is only visible during live shows.

(Translated by Google) It's very small, but it's fun 🐬 🐋 (Original) Esta muy pequeño, pero es divertido 🐬 🐋

(Translated by Google) Nothing to say. Very poor shows. Mundo Marino in San Clemente was much better and with a diversity of marine flora and fauna (Original) Nada para decir. Los shows muy pobres. Mundo Marino en San Clemente era muchísimo mejor y con diversidad de flora y fauna marina

Although no restaurants are open. The shows are open

Amazing shows

It was fun but all the food wasn't open i like to eat lol

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and a lot of fun (Original) Hermoso y muy divertido

Pricey for a cheap SeaWorld. Was over $80 for general admission and that was with 20% off. It was also much smaller than expected. The trainers seem to have amazing bonds with the animals which is always great to see, the other workers seem more than miserable though which also doesn’t help with a happy experience. My husband and I got through the entire park in about 2 hours.. the shows were ok but I felt like they were mostly about the trainers performing and not the animals. Honestly if you want to see sea animals just spend the extra money and go to SeaWorld it’s worth its price and is definitely an all day event that will never disappoint.

(Translated by Google) Very simple, no point of comparison with Orlando, all food stores closed (Original) Muy sencillo, ni punto de comparación con el de Orlando, todas las tiendas de comida cerradas

Had a blast with the kids! We saw Lolita the Killer Whale, Pacific Dolphins, Atlantic Dolphins, penguins, manatees, nurse sharks, huge turtles and lots of sea liona!

Great for a tourist like myself. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the Orca, because it is only visible during live shows. Other than that, it was exciting.

Went for first time in over 20 years and honestly was very disappointed 😞 highlight is usually the shows but mostly all canceled due to covid but only show really available wasn't worth it at all. The place isn't well kept it looks like it is just falling apart. For the price it is practically highway robbery. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

Excellent place for kids and family

This place is a waste of money, it's expensive, outdated and many exhibits were closed or had hardly any animals in them. There were people protesting not To go in, we should've listened. Save your money and stay away from this place!!!

Amazing

Kids love it!!! Amazing experience

Horribly outdated enclosures and terribly dense and dull management.

Had a wonderful time with Team Blue for the Dolphin Odyssey Experience - swimming with the Dolphins! My partner and I had the whole place to ourselves, very safe with masks during COVID. We spent 30 minutes with Ripley, a very smart, very handsome dolphin and his trainer, Bri! Bri answered all of our questions and had such a strong, beautiful bond with Ripley. I woke up the next morning wishing I could spend more time with these magnificent creatures!!!

Would never give money to a place that keeps a large whale in such awful small cramped conditions.

Good

Expensive

Had a great time especially with Oracle

Thank you!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place to go as a family (Original) Muy hermoso lugar para ir en familia

We had a wonderful time! Such an awesome location and the place was clean.

Is this the place that murdered Hugo😠🙁 I’ll never visit

(Translated by Google) Very pretty (Original) Muy bonito

Have fun!

Overall good experiencie but pricy, is not that big . The shows were nice.

Expensive tickets

Ehh I had fun with my little family but they only had 1 place open to eat And frankly the pizza was disgusting had no sauce on it

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience (Original) Una experiencia maravillosa

Could of been alot better considering it right on the ocean 🌊

Shows are short, some places are closed due covid.

Great family experience

Amazing for family and friends and kids

This was the highlight of our week for my kiddos! Highly recommend!

Great fun before the beach

Awesome. Not overly large. Great for the kids and entertaining as well as informative

Nice

(Translated by Google) I really liked it, I enjoyed all the Shows. Excellent work and professionalism and a good sense of humor to distract the family in contact with the aquatic world. Thanks (Original) Me gustó mucho, disfrute de todos los Shows. Excelente trabajo y profesionalismo y buen sentido del humor para distraer a la familia en contacto con el mundo acuático. Gracias

Great experience

Awesome place to see and learn about aquatic animals

It is good to have a walk with young children👍. All locations are very close. Children do not like it when the trainers are talking for a very long time😠. It's uninteresting to kids !!! And after talking since the shows are short they can only show a little bit of the tricks😕

I have been to many aquariums and this one was the most depressing. Not many fish on display and the manatee are kept in small tanks. One of them very sick. Its skin was peeling, very big, did not move a lot. There were two others in the tank with it. We kept on being told to go too the show. Which we did not. For the price I do no think it is worth it. I did find it fantastic that they use the bay water.

wonder family activity!! or for you and special someone! they have shows threw out the day that are included in the ticket!! nice surprise!! all the animals are well love nice clean tanks and you can to vip tours also to meet your favorites!!

Loved the shows and staff were pretty friendly. Could've been little cleaner. Gift shop prices were expensive in my opinion😂 overall was cool to see some animals I don't have back home. Kinda wish they had more variety as well

Beautiful place

Great family deals for me and my children!

Why would you go to this place and see the abuse and torture of an animal? She is beautiful and needs to be in the sea. We have come too far as a species to allow this cruelty to carry on with future generations. SeaWorld and seaquariums could change the way they work and create sea pens and let people see the orca in her natural habitat where she will be happy. I went to seaquariums as a kid and swam with dolphins and it was the most horrible time of my life because the dolphins were angry and I could feel it. No animal should be in captivity. We need to find new ways of living amongst nature which means we are all happy. I'm so sorry Lolita :'(

Poco entretenimiento por el costo de entrada

Terrible place for the animals. They’re all clustered like tuna in a can. Stuck in the 70s and not in a good fun way...

Not to many animals not to many activities. The whale doesn’t have to many space it’s a little tank to be honest. Food not so good either...

Fun place for the kids

Smallest orca tank in the United States. Animals suffer here make no mistake about it.

Great Place to spend the day.

Very cool place. Not as big as we thought, but worth checking out

A must when in Miami! We had a great time w/ or without kids.

(Translated by Google) If you want to swim with dolphins this is not the place. It literally passes you from one pool premiere to the other, in two seconds, you can touch the rest, they explain about dolphins, some photos. But I repeat, swimming is only two seconds. Then they sell a pack of 300 photos, and it's actually 20 photos repeated 15 times each. The place is beautiful and the experience is super expensive and not for what you pay "swimming with dolphins" is NOTHING! (Original) Si quiere nadar con delfines este no es el lugar. Literalmente te pasa de un estreno de la piscina al otro, en dos segundos, de resto lo puedes tocar, te explican sobre los delfines, unas cuentas fotos. Pero repito nadar es solo dos segundos. Luego que venden un paquete de 300 fotos, y en realidad son 20 fotos repetidas 15 veces cada una. El lugar es bonito y súper caro la experiencia y no por lo que pagas “nadar con delfines” es NADA!

Awesome place to visit

Cool show, but everything there is very overpriced.

First time here, we had fun

It was a great experience but a little bit too pricey. The shows are amazing.

Nice place

Charming but old and a tad under maintenaned. It's pretty good to see once but as a vacation er I'd stick to other attractions.

We are due to visit next week and my daughter is looking forward to the Dolphin Odyssey we paid for. I, however, already have had unpleasant experiences with the lack of communication from me leaving multiple messages and email contact information over the last 3 weeks. I finally got a hold of someone today- "What number are you even calling?" and "I don't know why your not getting calls back". "They have no idea where your messages are." I hope it's worth what we have paid for and the frustration with the lack of communication.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular!!! (Original) Espectacular!!!

The dolphins was the best part

(Translated by Google) the place is small but good shows of dolphins and whale (Original) el lugar es pequeño pero buenos espectaculos de los delfines y ballena

It’s been years since I visited but I decided to take my son cause it’s somewhere I use to go all the time as a kid and sadly it’s looks more run down the shows didn’t even happen on schedule just not as I remember I used to love going but honestly it’s nothing how it use to be

(Translated by Google) Very good I really liked everything very nice (Original) Muy bueno me gustó mucho muy lindo todo

I personally did not like the Miami Seaquarium. Poor display of marine fauna, does not value the price of admission. They justify the price with which it is used for a balanced diet and the care of the species they have. I do not think. After visiting this place, I understand why so many campaigns to free the Orca Lolita. Parking is not included, another thing that does not seem right to me. The zoo costs half, it has free parking and the fauna has good food and good care. I do not recommend visiting this marine species prison.

No housekeeping no hot tub food expensive .not good

Great family place. I love the shows and I love taking my nieces there for the day.

The dolphin and killer whale show was amazing definitely must see while in Miami

(Translated by Google) It has lost a lot of quality there are no functions (Original) Ha perdido mucha calidad no hay funciones

(Translated by Google) Good to go relax (Original) Bueno para ir a relajarse

My son and I came from Pueblo colorado and saved to take a trip out here we were so amazed w everything good food kind people we loved the entertainment and all attractions took so many pictures

Amazing experience for the family. Sad we missed the whale show because it was closed. We didn't find this out until we bought the three pack summer tickets for the lion and zoo exhibit as well. But all around still amazing.

The map might make this look small, but its very good sized park. Lots of bathrooms, a lot of shows and presentations. A bunch of food options, on the pricey side, but upkeep of all these animals isnt cheap. They have a wide range of different animals and they are pretty easily visible, so pictures are a pretty sure bet and kids can see all the animals.

I loved coming with my family during the weekend! It was so much fun and I got to see amazing animals. The top deck show with the pirates was my favorite!!! Grandma also had a great time seeing seals and the dolphins soaked her 😂 can’t wait to return soon to see those majestic creatures.

This was a lovely daytrip - make sure you schedule the time to see ALL the shows. My favorite parts of the Seaquarium all had to do with the rehab efforts --- manatee feedings (because the keeper taught me about animals that get hit by boats - that's really sad) and the turtle swamp (it's a rehab program / home for turtle that wouldn't make it in the wild / have 3 arms). I also had a lot of fun playing with the dolphins in the tank below the surface - I MADE THEM LAUGH by doing tricks! I didn't know dolphins could laugh, but I heard them!

My children really enjoyed putting there hands in the water to touch the fish and they loved the dolphin show ...

I love this place! I have been going since I was a kid and it’s super nostalgic every time I go. They have dolphins there from before I was born!

One of the most beautiful places in Miami. It’s a great place to get up close and personal with the animals

The staff was great but the exhibits need a major face-lift. I can't imagine the amount of upkeep but I commend the staff for caring for the animals and doing their best to educate and help with conservation.

Wow…we just wanted to share our wonderful Swim with the Dolphins Tour Experience with you. My kids and I truly loved the team's professionalism, subject matter knowledge and personal manner in which they conducted themselves throughout the tour. Again, it was a delight and a truly wonderful experience to have had a super aquatic adventure with you... keep up the terrific experiences!

So it is Thursday and half the food places are closed. Also the orca exhibit was closed. Kind of disappointed there. We had a meet and greet with the dolphins which was cool but underwhelming some. Still a good experience. I think if coming, you should invest in the swimming with the animals part. While it is expensive it goes to the conservation of the animals and is a nice experience. The place also looks a bit run down.

The flipper show was the highlight of my visit. I must admit, the protestors outside definitely detract from truly enjoying the animals. The bullhorns definitely have an impact because it wasn’t as many people when I visited. Overall, it was good but definitely not the best Seaquarium I’ve been to.

Needs a lot of renovation, the bathrooms, the stairs all looked very old and rusty. The staffs were pretty friendly. The sea lion show was really good. Great job

Had an amazing time here. The dolphins and penguins were especially active and fun to see. The parrots and various birds were fascinating and entertaining (don't get too close!). The site was clean and well kept, and I really enjoyed my time here.

Sadly, we did not enjoy this place. The place was nearly empty and had very little to see. You would think that someplace like Miami would have an awesome aquarium, but this place is really bare bones. We stayed about an hour and left because there was just so little to do and see. The only thing we enjoyed was seeing the dolphins swim around. But we missed their show. Would not recommend.
