It's free to look around and listen to the show. The shows are every two hours more or less. The whole place was very busy and congested. They have 200 alligators in different stages of life. The alligators are from local farms and then give them to nature preserves when they age out. You can get a pole and food for $5 but the gators seemed well feed. You can also get a photo with a baby gator (taped mouth) for $.

There's food, there's shops, there's a guy juggling fire (maybe--it felt like there could be). I came for a peaceful walk and left with a pineapple drink, a henna tattoo, and a new best friend named Carl who sells seashell wind chimes. Parking? Good luck. You'll walk 47 miles, but at least you'll burn off that fried shrimp platter. Bring comfy shoes and your wildest beach hat. Also maybe a life coach, just in case you have an existential crisis trying to pick between the fudge shop and the taco stand.

It is a small building but they have packed it with activities that seem to cover a wide age range. We went on a Monday so it was mostly small kids, but my fifth-grader spent three hours going through all the indoor and outdoor exhibits before we left for lunch. We sprang for the planetarium and it was a bit long for the small kids but mine was interested the whole time. We were impressed with the inflatable planetarium.

Lots and lots and lots of hand-on activities (although a few of the robotic ones did not function correctly or had limited range.)

Staff is very, very helpful and congenial.

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.

We're willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea." ~Pema Chodron ~ Mark from Sand Odyssey taught my beautiful granddaughter, Autumn, and her friends how to build sandcastles, and he was amazing.

The most expensive ride would be the sky flyer. Which is about 27 point per kid if you have two riders. The points at this time were one lower tier which will not be enough for two kids with the sky flyer and other rides, 125 points for about $110 and 250 points for $215. The sky flyer was the most thrilling ride to the kids. The arcade games were okay. The claw machines were so hard to win. The prizes keep on dropping half the way. If you have time, this is a great place to take the kids. It can be expensive but so much fun for them.
