This was a super cool experience during our trip to Biloxi a few years ago. There was a dolphin and…read moresea lion educational show that was really fun but my highlight was the opportunity to be kissed by a sea lion! For a small fee, you receive a photo as the sea lion is planting a big wet kiss on your cheek! Another highlight was the budgie area where you bought sticks of food and the parakeets (budgies) landed on you and ate from them. It's not for the faint of heart or anyone that's afraid of birds, lol. This is a fun place to visit with kids or anyone who appreciates birds and marine life. Beware: in the summer, there's a lot of walking outdoors and it can get quite hot. Make sure you wear your sunscreen and bring a neck fan!

At time of purchasing tickets it could've been mentioned what is and isn't available; would be very helpful. We were unable to feed and/or pet the stingrays, there was only 5 spots for kissing sea lion that were no longer available, so for a family unable to plan in advance with changing schedules it was a bummer. The bird feeder stick took me by surprise because it looks disappointing, however it was sufficient to get some of the birds to land. The dolphin/sea lion show was pretty good, I would just appreciate maybe a screen with whatever the speaker was saying, it was hard to hear in that room with the echo. All in all my family enjoyed it.

This is a pretty big place so although it was packed, there was still room for everyone to jump and have fun. There are several computers to complete waivers prior to checking in and paying. Take note that most of their promotions aren't valid on Saturday and Sunday. It's also important to note that they don't have lockers for rent so you store your items in the cubbies at your own risk. They have sections for birthday parties and several tables. There were quite a few parties taking place during our visit. The obstacle course is fun but when you're older, it's a lot harder to get out of the foam pit then it looks lol! The trapeze was a lot of fun and provides a soft landing. I took a star off of this rating merely because of cleanliness. It didn't take away from the purpose of our visit, which was to have fun. However, the facility can use some serious cleaning, especially the bathrooms. They were pretty gross!

You can tell that the staff are educated and care very much about the animals. It is all very clean and well-kept. It took us about 2 hours to sidle through and look at everything. It's a good outing for an afternoon. Part of the facility is outdoors, with exhibits for the beavers (They have beavers!! So cute!!), the dolphins, the otters, and the local gators and wildlife. They have a penguin exhibit that is in the works and coming soon. The rest is indoors in a nice building. You go up to the top floor and work your way down through the various exhibits and tanks. A big part is outside, so you should check the weather before you go and be prepared to deal with whatever. There is a public parking garage right next door, but we parked across the highway at Jones Park and walked over to the aquarium. There is a nice pedestrian skybridge over the highway that makes it easy and safe.

Got here as it opened, they have a military discount at the ticket office. I enjoyed the outdoor exhibits, but the indoor exhibits are much more expansive and beautifully put together. They have a touch tank and a lot of interesting information posted everywhere, so come prepared to learn. They also have a bird exhibit that you can walkthrough and see animals close up! They also have a concession stand, and a gift shop at the exit.

It's located in Gulfport, MS very near the interstate, which makes it very easy to get to. You can buy your tickets online, at the counter or through a discount online ticket seller - which is what I did for our last visit. I was able to save $11 per ticket. They open at 10:00 and I suggest getting there early because it gets crowded in the afternoon. The employees check all bags before you are admitted into the park, and I appreciate their concern for everyone's safety. Once in you can find a lounger, or table and chairs with an umbrella. This is your best option, as it gets hella hot out there. I've only been able to snag one a couple of times. They're a popular item for good reason. Now for the fun stuff: There's a large wave pool that pushes you into the lazy river. There are entrances and exits along the lazy river where you can hop in or out to move around the park on foot. If you're a water slider, and who isn't, you're in luck. There are several and they're pretty nice. You can ride alone or in pairs on most of them. There's also one of those huge racing slides. It's fast and I really get a kick out of it If you plan to eat there plan on spending a few bucks. At the main cafes they serve pizza, hot dogs, grilled chicken, burgers and chicken tenders. I had a grilled chicken sandwich on our most recent visit and it was actually quite tasty. There are two sets of restrooms and one of them was out of commission on our last trip. It seems that one of the toilets had overflowed. The other bathroom only has 2 stalls so it was kind of a cluster. It's in the building where the changing rooms are located. The ladies' rooms are always as clean as they can be in a water park, I guess. Other notes - there are lockers available for a fee, there's a gift shop for necessities, dippin dots truck, sweets "booth" that serves ice cream, funnel cakes, etc., taco truck, and cabanas that can be rented for a fee. I think my favorite thing about Gulf Islands is that it's not enormous and I can usually keep tabs on the kiddos without too much hassle. I'm quite the helicopter mom, so that's important me.

Me and 3 of my family went on a Sunday. We rented one of the Sundecks and stayed from open to…read moreclose. The sweet and helpful girl ( I wish I could remember her name) that walked us to our sundeck gave us a couple of papers, one a map of the park, one a list of food items that could be ordered and delivered to our sundeck along with the website to pull it up. Around noon I pull the website up and it just says 'no items are available at this time'. The same worker was walking by so I stopped her to see if I was doing something wrong. She said it can do that when they're at the rush peak. Completely understandable. So I get my groups orders and two of us head towards the pizza place. We walked in and stood there, looking around not knowing who to order from or what the heck we were doing. We finally ask the girl at the register and she says oh you order from someone in the back. So we stood at the counter, made eye contact a few times, asked if we ordered there and the was told mmmhm. Then he went back to making pizza ignoring us. I finally get his attention and get our order in( which was like pulling teeth with no help or direction from anyone working there) . Pay and head over to the cafe to get the rest of the food. That place was equally confusing. No idea what we were doing with zero help from the workers there. Now I'm not blaming these kids. Because they were all working and learning. I blame management because they ( by they I mean every single worker in all 3 food areas we went to) were obviously not trained well and thrown out there. They looked worn out and frazzled. So I would recommend packing a picnic lunch and eating it out of the trunk of your car for sure. The waterpark itself was fun. The kids really enjoyed it. Just skip eating if you can help it

I cant believe this place doesn't have more reviews. We are in Biloxi visiting my parents and…read moredecided to go to the mall for lunch and do some shopping. My kids noticed playlive nation and we stopped in to check it out. The manager was really friendly and explained how the pricing worked, explained the drop and shop system, and also asked us if there were any games that our kids weren't allowed to play. That's important to us. They had 30+ games for my kids to choose from- basically every game my kids asked for, they had. I bought an hour of play time for each kid and I enjoyed some quiet shopping time. If you pay for an hour and only use 30 minutes, your remaining minutes will be on your account for next time. It works like rollover minutes for your cell phone. The total cost was less than I pay for a babysitter and much cheaper than an hour at a typical arcade.

I came on a Sunday not really realizing there was a larger city event going on in town, which only affected my visit here by slowing down traffic. Getting here was easy, the museum takes up several buildings, so there is plenty of parking. This place is freaking amazing. The employees are very friendly and more than happy to share information about the trains and the city in general. Though they were all about the cruise in that was going on, and I am not into large groups of people. There are model trains with whole cities around them, mock ups of famous buildings, large stores, all made from Legos and similar materials. There is a Jurassic Park, gnomes, dinosaurs and oh so much more. If you are in the area, I highly recommend a stop in here to spend a few hours, especially if you have small humans with you.

It would definitely be a good place to bring your children to visit as they have some interactive displays. There are indoor and outdoor displays that include a TON of Legos and shows including Batman, Charlie Brown, Star Trek, Jurassic park, StarWars, and many more. They have different sizes and types of trains so you are able to learn some of the differences. They also had a resident cat outside who is so friendly and followed my husband around demanding love which he was happy to give. I definitely recommend! Rating from F to A+++ I give it an A+++!

I take my 5yr old to SkyZone and a jump park every weekend and of all the places I've purchased memberships for this one gives her the best workout and she never wants to leave- even after 2hrs of constant running. We've never used the arcade or their private birthday facilities but it hasn't been my experience to notice anyone having a hard time with these aspects of their services. I always get there early-ish so it's never too crowded. I did however go there after 3pm on the weekend and it was very intimidating and appeared to be a zoo.... But we still had tons of fun without incident even with TONS of kids everywhere all at once. It was just overwhelming to see sooooo many kids in every area playing. Staff is very attractive, friendly and eager to help and I've found truth in the statement that they don't always know the policies. However, in the event someone couldn't answer my questions they've always found someone that could. To me, the place is such a great value that the little details don't really matter as much as the total experience. IOW, it doesn't matter if the staff doesn't know every detail about everything or if a random teenager is a bit 'zealous' in the dodgeball arena- my child doesn't know the difference and has an equal amount of fun regardless. LOVE this place and look forward to it every Saturday.
