    Fun water park. We had a really good day here. The small umbrella seats fill up fast but look for the giant umbrella seats on the one side of the park. You can also rent a cabana which we did. It's pricey but we were glad to have it for the baby. Plenty of room for all of us to sit. They provided 4 bottles of water. There is a cooler as well and a safe which we really appreciated. Lots to do for all ages. Some slides you can't have sunglasses, hats etc. Best bet is to just bring yourself. Wearing some type of water shoes that don't come off is beneficial because you can't have loose shoes and the ground gets hot in bare feet. Be sure to bring beach towels and sunscreen. Fun day.

    Laughable at best ... spend 200 on a cabana, server has been by once. Slides are inop. Attendants for slide do not pay attention ... 300 dollar costas that they make you take off ... stolen from their stand in 10 min tops, with an attitude when questioned about them. Tickets are way overpriced for the amount of things to do. Food is typical for the attraction. Save your money and take the kids somewhere else.

    Waterslides of every size for all ages

    We went on a weekday when it wasn't busy, so my kids never had to wait in a line. The staff is plentiful and lifeguards everywhere. The water appeared to be clean, but definitely had a lot of chlorine. we stayed for five hours and it wasn't too hot with the covered sitting area. The biggest negative thing was the price of food and drinks. A single beer is $10 yes I recommend this place but maybe not on a weekend!!

    If you decide to go to Big Kahuna's, arrive early before the crowd. Try to eat breakfast because the food lines are very long and you can literally wait in line for an hour or more to order food. It was a little disappointing because some of the water slides were closed and then one pool had to be closed because some little kid pooped in the water. It was fun but if you're not into the crowds or long waits for food and drinks you might prefer something more low key.

    It was really fun, big and small water slides, fast and slow rides. The rides and overall area looks epic.

    We rented two Sea Doos for a one hour fun session! It's in a good location, with very fair prices and a friendly knowledgeable team!

    Can you wear water shoes on the rides?

    Yes bc I was kicked in the head by several people wearing them on the rides.

    Small 5-6 min motion movie 3r ride located in the popular and crowded harborwalk village in Destin…read moreFlorida. Me and my family was waiting to do a firework cruise through Destin snorkel in the village and we had some time to kill. We seen this ride experience and thought "why not it's vacation". Pricing is high at $13 a person but you expect that at tourists traps like this. The decor in here was ratty fun and the workers were nice. You choose from a list of different spooky or fun adventures. The workers describe them as motion roller coasters with 3r goggles. After picking your "movie" you wait in a lien until it's your turn. Wait wasn't bad. As each one only lasts about 5-6 min and we only had one family in front of us. They have a row of yellow chairs and when it's your turn a curtain draws and shuts you in for the best viewing pleasure. My kids went with the carnival movie choice. The ride itself was fun and it had a few legit jump scares on the ride too. We all really enjoyed the ride as the movie we picked was creative. The rides are interactive as you have a little yellow gun attached to your chair and you shoot the bad guys to see who gets the high score. In our see we're shooting evil and demented clowns. Not to brag but I kicked my kids butts and landed a top 5 score for the day in that particular movie ride. Overall a fun and memorable vacation experience. You wish it was cheaper but you also understand the hustle too. I wouldn't be opposed to going again and doing a different movie If we ever vacation the Destin area again.

    Family tradition, and great fun! Always a good time with a little friendly, family competition!read more

    We visited the Gulfarium in Fort Walton Beach and absolutely loved it! There was so much to see,…read moreincluding sea turtles, stingrays, penguins, alligators, sea lions, dolphins, and many other amazing animals. One of the things my hubby and I loved the most is that the Gulfarium also serves as a rehabilitation center for marine life. Many animals are treated and released back into the ocean whenever possible, while others that could not survive in the wild are given a safe and caring home. We saw a sea turtle with two missing flippers, which was both heartbreaking and made us happy at the same time since it wouldn't stand a chance to live in the wild. We watched both the sea lion and dolphin shows, and they were great. It was so nice to see that the trainers genuinely care about the animals. The animals were rewarded with plenty of treats, attention, and affection throughout the presentations. My favorite part of the entire visit was seeing the manatees. I had only ever seen them in pictures before, and I completely fell in love. They are such gentle, peaceful, and beautiful creatures. I could have watched them all day!

    Here's an updated version with your added feedback included:…read more We visited Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in Fort Walton Beach and really enjoyed the self-guided walk through the park. We saw stingrays, dolphins, penguins, manatees, turtles, crocodiles, pelicans, snakes, lizards, frogs, and many other animals. Even though we missed the scheduled shows, there was still plenty to see and enjoy at our own pace. One of the best parts was learning that they care for many rescue animals and help rehabilitate and release them back into the ocean when possible. It was great seeing a place focused on marine animal rescue and conservation. The park was family friendly and easy to walk through, with lots of close-up animal encounters. The reason for 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is that some of the animal habitats and viewing areas were not very well maintained. A few tanks had noticeable algae buildup, which made it difficult to clearly see some of the animals. Overall though, we still had a good experience and would recommend visiting if you are in the Fort Walton Beach area.
