This is a nice little place to visit if you're trying to get away from the busyness of the Strip. It's a bit of a walk through The Mirage, but follow the signs and you can get there no problem. The animals seem well cared for and the dolphin show is very engaging. It's kind of educational, but definitely leans more towards entertainment. The place itself is quite small and it is a certified conservation, so you're paying for more than just entertainment. We spent a bit more than an hour here and enjoyed it.

This is a must see if you visit Vegas! You can see these beautiful animals up close and personal!! The cats are so majestic and dolphins are just so adorable! The training times are so great to witness, the dolphins are so playful and the trainers and dolphins interact so well and respectful! We have visited many times, and even had the privilege to meet Siegfried when he popped in for a surprise visit one day (a few years ago before his passing☹️) Don't miss this experience!

PERFECT FAMILY EXPERIENCE!!! Definitely worth a visit! General admission for adult is $25. They open at 10am and When you get there right at opening they have dolphin training which is really cool because you're up close. There is a gift shop inside and a snack bar. The snack bar is kind of expensive. We got the dole whip, a large is $16 the small is $12. The lion and tiger area is nicely shaded by tons of trees and they are really close up. They also have an option for the dolphins to jump right behind you for pictures and for children to pet the dolphins. Really cool experience...highly recommend

Definitely worth the $25. Beautiful tigers and dolphins that you get to see up close. Must-do if you’re with kids or simply a lover of animals. It’s a quick hour-long tour (at most) where you’ll see a few big cats and then you can see right by the wall of the dolphin training area where you’ll see dolphins so close you can almost touch them (but don’t try). You can purchase a separate pass to touch the dolphins, but come early to be able to get those. They close the booth at 5pm.

This was a nice little hidden jem for the family. It wasn't too expensive which is a plus , but it also isn't that big. Maybe in the warmer weather the cat would be a like more active but it was still great for the kids to see them. The jungle theme was also very nice for being in a desert and being able to see all this greenery. The dolphin exhibit was really cool. The kids loved the under water viewing area. We got to see a bit of a training session but no shows. Also I don't know if they do actually shows, didn't look into that. There are workers walking around giving information and are very nice. They will even take your family's photo if you ask.

I had no idea there were dolphins here. Walked around several casinos and discovered this great habitat! They have a dolphin trainer 101 I'm DEFINITELY going back to do. The specialists love sharing them and educating you about them. Don't miss this.

I enjoyed this experience immensely! The big cats were impressive, though they might do better in a larger habitat. There was a full-maned male lion, a black spotted jaguar, an orange jaguar, a white tiger and a Bengal tiger. The main attraction was definitely the dolphins. It's the closest I've ever been to one of my favorite sea creatures. They're smart, well-trained and immensely fun to watch. There's a training session every hour or so. You can pay extra to pet the dolphins which they seem to enjoy. One happily closed his eyes while getting pets. There are underwater observation windows, too. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

We enjoyed our visit and it was entertaining for the whole family. The dolphins were incredible to watch and the information available about dolphins on the walls around the tank was perfect to help keep our kids from going crazy while we waited to watch the training session. The line to the tigers and lions looked long, but really wasn't terrible or too hot (at the end of March), even with a bunch of kids. The line was close enough to the dolphin tanks we were able to continue to watch them while waiting. The dolphin trainers were very entertaining and shared lots of facts and information that we listened to while waiting as well. The tigers and lion were very striking and majestic. It was early afternoon when we visited and while they weren't terribly active, they weren't sleeping (except the leopard). There was lots of interesting facts and information about wild cats, and these ones specifically. We also appreciated the NV resident discount for our family of 7. I don't know that we'll be back anytime soon, but it was definitely worth the visit.

Wow, to be able to see Dolphins in the middle of the desert, WHAT!!! IT WAS AMAZING!! We've been to Vegas many times but this was a 1st for us and we got to experience it with our granddaughter. Loved the Meet and Greet. Truly special ❤❤

The training session with the dolphins was short lived. It honestly was a quick 5 mins and suddenly ended. Guess it was due to arriving there 1 hour before they closed. Not quite sure, but overall I wouldn't come here again. A quick tour, of seeing a few lions, leopards and tigers. Feel so bad for the animals. They look miserable, that's just me though. I personally would save your money and go elsewhere.

TIGERS were very active today even though it was in the 100s. They are misted constantly and they were being rotated out when we were there. The animals are sent away to relax. Which is super cool they don't live in those cages thier whole lives

Such an amazing experience! They have a few tigers, leopards and a lion. The dolphins are my favorite animal so this was a must see. The show was amazing and the trainers know exactly what they are doing. There is also a gift shop. Highly recommend!

This oasis is magical. The animals are majestic and the setting very special. Thank you Siegfried and Roy for sharing your world with us.

So much fun! We ended up watching 2 dolphin shows that were both different and very entertaining. The dolphins looked happy and entertained! The rest of the Secret Gatden was beautiful as well. Most of the animals were sleeping or getting ready to leave for closing time tho. We had so much fun!

Amazing place to take the family and spend as much time as you'd like. Talk to the trainers one on one, you won't regret it.

Very hot day in Vegas, I felt quite bar for the wildlife dealing with the heat Got free tickets from MyVegas app, otherwise ticket is $25 at the gate

To have an opportunity to be around these incredible creatures was truly amazing! The dolphins were incredible and you can see how much the staff love the animals. A true pleasure!

The lion is very impressive. He's worth seeing! The dolphins were pretty cool. They love to show off.

Very rude person named Samantha refused to allow us entrance at 4 pm very very rude says open until 5!

Pretty cool spot to check out. They do local and military discount. If you want pictures up-close with the dolphins and pet them, make sure to purchase it before hand. You can get a pretty close view of the animals and the dolphins and they do really cool tricks. They seem happy and well taken cared of. You can also actually see the cats interacting with their toys and moving around and coming up close.

We were on Vacation. We stopped at the Mirage for the dancing contest/convention. We ended up checking out the pool area, where we saw the entrance for the secret garden. We had to check it out ! Beautiful dolphin viewing areas both above and under water!! There were also lions and tigers. This was such a fun experience for us! We loved it !

We LOVED this!! I took a 10 and 7 yo and wish I had made my teenagers go. We got to see the dolphins up close and it was amazing! The only negative I have is when they start the free dolphin shows, the people who have paid for a dolphin experience get to be right in front of you so your view is basically blocked. It would be nice if they could possibly be staggered. We would absolutely see this again!

It was amazing going here! The dolphins are so happy in their habitat. The lions and tigers also seem very content with their habitats. Also every lion and tiger has a plaque that says their name. It is so wonderful to see all of the animals and get to watch the dolphins play. Definitely recommend this place for others. It is also kid friendly.

It's 25 per person to get in, you can then pay to train with the dolphins. The prices get hefty there. The visit was awesome . There is a lion, tigers and dolphins. If you haven't been to this place in the Mirage , I definitely recommend it.

The dolphin show was good a little short time but it was nice to see them jump.

Enjoyed the dolphin training and tigers and lions. Personnel were available for questions. Little pricey, but hopefully supporting conservation efforts.

Had the most amazing time watching the trainers with the dolphins. Absolutely worth the money and time! The cats were playful and even posed for pictures. Definitely will go back again:)

Dolphins were super cute.

Loved watching the dolphins. The trainers did a wonderful job. The dolphins were very active and fun to watch.. The lions, tigers and leopards were amazing!!!

My partner's first trip to Vegas and we stopped in to the Secret Garden. He loved it! Very informative and a great day activity. Also, they are doing a great job complying with COVID19 restrictions. They're even going the extra mile to monitor capacity. I'm not certain, but I think they're even able to contact trace, just given how they're handling tickets at this time. Great job, guys!

Great sanctuary with interesting lion and tiger facts posted throughout

Very nice experience, specially for the kids

So amazing! The grand kids ❤ it!

Dolphin show was exciting. Lion and Tiger enclosures very clean and animals seem to be very well taken care of.

One of the best "hidden" gems on the strip! Very cool to watch the dolphin training, and very interesting to learn about the big cats.

Great place to visit!! Love the dolphins and 🐅!!

It's fun. Decent price. Dolphins are awesome. Good show. Big cats 🐈 are nice to see but can get boring fast.

Up close and personal with all the animals on site. The dolphin training show was entertaining, educational and definitely something people of all ages will enjoy. If you have children, highly recommend to do to provide entertainment for them. The lions, tigers, and leopards were beautiful, fairly active and are close enough to almost touch. The grounds are managed well and kept very clean. Overall good but sadly short experience for the cost of entry.

Good place to bring young ones. Nice dolphins, tigers and lion. They look healthy. With most of the shows cancelled because of covid, this is good choice to kill the time during daytime.

Would go again in the Summer! Great experience and friendly staff.

Very exciting place to visit.

There are about 8 dolphins and 6 animal exhibits so you can get through it quick. The dolphin shows were great. If you are there at 1:30pm you are in luck because they switch over the lions/tigers/leopards and the animals are very lively. We met an awesome dolphin educator named Tammi, she was soooooo nice we had a long conversation with her. Very knowledgeable and personable. The gentlemen in the animal exhibits was also very friendly and knowledgeable (can’t remember his name sorry!). Very clean facility people sweeping and wiping down areas. Strict mask enforcement and social distancing which is greatly appreciated. Would definitely go again!

Such an amazing experience. One I will never forget.

All the animals are pacing back and forth in their tiny habititat. Truly sickening to see.

Expect lines due to capacity and social distancing

The Dolphins are awesome, very smart. Watching the Big Cats its always amazing hopefully they are taken to a bigger space when they close the doors to the public.

Seeing these big cats was such a great experience! Also, the dolphins were a great addition! Honestly one of my favorite attractions here in Vegas especially for the price.

My family and I had fun here we're all adults. It was very informative about the Dolphins and it was nice seeing exotic big cats that we would never be able to see. It was good to get out of the casino for a while. You move at your own pace so you're not on a confined schedule. I was happy it was open with a lot of things being closed

This was so fun! We went with our 12 month old who loved the dolphins. We watched two dolphin training sessions and it was definitely worth the $25. The tigers and other cats seemed very anxious around people and definitely preferred you not look at or attempt to interact with them. Honestly worse than our little local zoo’s cats. But the dolphins rocked!

The Secret Garden is an amazing way to get up close and personal with the dolphins and big cats that live there. After talking with the staff and seeing how they interact with the animals it is clear that they have a great relationship. Also watching the patrons you see a joy and personal connection with the animals that will make them care about how they are treated here and around the world. I love going here and will go back to support them.

Loved seeing the dolphins and tigers!! The cooler weather had the big cats up and prowling! Loved

Great little place to see dolphin and big cats. Very nice staff and dolphin trainers. Got to witness some dolphin training. Great time enjoying some wildlife

Visited on Christmas day and had a fun time. Got to see two dolphin training shows. The lion habitat was great to see. It was a nice change of pace from the strip.

This a fun little side trip away from the casino.

Not much to see for the money. Disappointed actually.

This place is a little gem worth visiting because it's unique but I only wish it were bigger & that we could pet the dolphins ;)

Beautiful animals, great and helpful staff

Love it

Very relaxing, great music and great drink service!

It was OK we really didn’t get to see much to her filming that day for something no telling what it was but we really didn’t have a dolphin show on the animals look kind of tired and they look like really depressed and was out of it the few animals that we didn’t get to see

It's a good place to meet family and friends to enjoy the moment 😁

Loved the 🐬 dolphins

Our favorite Vegas destination. The animals are so fun to watch. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Beautiful!

Go when they are training the domains its great the dolphins come sooo close

Loved it other than a few rude staff trying to split our group up even though we were obviously together as a group multiple times.

Excellent show

The dolphins were cool, but I think they would like to swim in the ocean better

Dolphin Trainer 101 is worth every penny and would definitely do it again when we go back to Las Vegas!!! Staff was very knowledgeable and super nice!!! Pictures are included and they did an awesome job capturing action shots!!! It’s a 10am-2pm activity and you are around or with the dolphins the whole time. Also you get to go behind the scenes and see every and how it works. Super awesome experience and will have memories for a life time!!! 🐬🐬🐬💕
