    Nursing shark
    Ilona N.

    We went here for my sons 7th birthday. He has non verbal autism and he loves animals and being non verbal he can't tell me what he likes but he was happy stimming and clapping and smiling the ENTIRE time. The Dolphin experience is $179 for adults and for children $139.00 this includes posing with the dolphins, petting, learning some commands and tricks to do with the animal, as well as lots of pets and splashes. The facility provides wet suits and there are actually clean showers and bathrooms for you to change and getting ready in. The trainers are all so nice! They helped me show my son soft touch on the dolphin and were so understanding and sweet. My favorite was feeding the dolphins the jello. Our dolphins name was Caymen and talk about a beautiful and smiling creature. The facility is old but it has so much potential and you can see the staff here have a love for the animals. We also pet some nurse sharks, got to watch the seal show, flipper show. We spent a day here and felt like we needed more but until next time!

    I would not recommend visiting this aquarium- it seems to be in serious disrepair. Most of the exhibits were empty. I've also never been to an aquarium where none of the tanks had a accurate listing of what fish were being conserved in the tank. Many of the indoor exhibits were empty or filled with alage. If you're looking for a park with a playground and alot of concessions I guess this might be a good choice but I saw more aquatic species by just taking a walk in the nearby park and looking into the water. There's plenty of food options, parking, and a gift shop- but the fish are missing.

    It's weird cause the place looks abandoned but a lot of people go. I guess they mostly go for the children but it's not an actual good place it's kinda sad.

    I didn't hate it, but didn't love it. It's too bad they don't have the whales anymore. Honestly that experience would have earned another star. I was able to get a discount through Groupon that was easy to redeem when I got there. I didn't think I'd have to pay for parking but I did, so that $20 basically wiped out the discount. The dolphin and seal shows were fun. A lot of people spent $5 to feed the sting rays but I didn't really see the rays eating the food. The best part in my opinion was watching all the fish get fed by the diver. There are a couple food options that are priced as you'd expect. There's a playground area if your kids get bored but not a lot of spots for shade in that area. The staff was polite. We didn't use the bathrooms. The gift shop looked pretty empty. Also, we were harassed outside the entrance by a older couple that were lying to people that there was free parking down the street (just to make it inconvenient for people wanting to go). Then they yelled through megaphones about how horrible we are for going there. That was really annoying but I guess the staff can't do anything about it.

    Flipper Show!

    Visiting Miami Seaquarium was a nice experience. They had most things a regular aquarium would. My reason for visiting was to see the Flipper show, (not really, but it was still a plus), and i actually got selected to dance with the dolphins, which was fire! So much fun! It is a nice place to walk around and see what there is to see, and there is some food shacks around as well. It was overall quite a fun time!

    There were more flamingos here than attractions in total.

    Man, how things have changed here. I'd like to say this before I continue any further. My rating is for the park and it's ownership only. The staff that I saw there are all 5's. For those individuals to show up every day and work in such a sad looking environment with what I can really see as true love in their eyes and genuine smiles on their faces is amazing, Bravo!! Now to the meat and potatoes. You pay $50 to see a bunch of flamingos 3 dolphins and a couple sea lions and seals. The place is in serious disrepair and looks surprisingly like it should have been the west for the first zombieland. I can see how things are kept clean here and that's all thanks to the staff. But the organization as a whole are definitely letting things go to ruin. Broken attractions, sooo many empty aquariums, playground access blocked. I grew up down here and would go there often during the 70's 80's and even 90's. If I was a tourist visiting and spent my hard earned money expecting to be entertained I would be seriously disappointed. If you go there, it should be with the intention of supporting the efforts of the staff to care for the animals. Your not going to get a wow out of the place.

    The website and the actual facility don't match. This is kind of like a conservatory as they house injured animals from the wild. The buildings are lackluster at best, but the shows and enthusiasm of the staff made up for that. I can't say that it's worth the 49.99 price tag, but for conservation purposes, why not. It's best to get a city pass so you get your bang for your buck. The aquariums are not pictured because there were only a handful of aquatic life in the tanks. The building reeked of mildew as well, but again repairs are needed.

    What's the price?

    I bought the summer savings pass so I didn't pay admission. This pass allows unlimited visits through August.

    Is there public transportation from weston Florida to Miami Seaquarium?

    This is a planetarium, museum, aquarium all in one!…read more Place is very close to the Miami port. We had several hours to kill in Miami but had four large carryon bags. They luckily hold onto the bags while we explore the museum and this worked perfectly for us. In addition to the 4-5 floors and two buildings worth of area to explore, there are amazing view of Miami from most of the floors. Kids thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Florida gators and other reptiles. The aquarium has shark and a huge turtle in addition to several other varieties of sea life. Kids spent several hours in the flight museum and the interactive universe simulator model as well. We also caught one of the shows in the planetarium, make sure to reserve a spot during a time slot of your choice well before hand. Perfect stop if you have a few hours in Miami.

It took us about 2.5 hours to explore the entire place including the planetarium show. The show that worked out best with timing was called "How to Die in Space: An Interactive Adventure Through the Cosmos." The girl leading it was wonderful but as you may figure by its name, the show was not a peaceful experience. There were a number of explosions that I think scared some of the kids in attendance. The other exhibits included one about flight, the human body/mind, an aquarium, dinosaurs, and general Florida wildlife. I can't say I learned a terrible amount of new information but it was fine. I appreciate the museum's mission and it probably would be cool for toddlers-little kids.

Just makes finally having visiting this venue so much more special with how incredible it is. Secondly, amazing is how big it feels despite its size and location (granted, I visited at night for a special event, so your mileage may vary) - though I admit, the exhibits seem too small for some of their fauna inhabitants. Third and finally, visiting it for said special event, Luminosa, was ABSOLUTELY wondrous. Made the visit absolutely worth it (even if my bus almost missed the stop). Plus, the staff is so kind and accommodating. We as a society need to invest and support spaces and places like this that not only offer incredible experiences, but also give back to all its visitors and urban spaces they inhabit - even if they're on a small, missable island (jajaja).

They promised an 11:30 "show" and even texted me to be on time. The show was a skunk that immediately ran away three times, and a snake that looked dead and never moved. The conditions were shocking: birds crammed into tiny cages stacked next to each other, kangaroos trapped in small empty pens, and the largest tortoise I've ever seen stuck in an enclosure the size of my living room -- with another tortoise. Every animal looked stressed, sad, or neglected. My kids were so upset we left early. I'm ashamed I spent money here, but I'm glad I saw it so I can warn others. This place is cruel, depressing, and should not be allowed to operate.
