While it was difficult to find a chair / shade we secured a chair in the sand area. The water was freezing but expected. It was also very relaxing. The wildlife is awesome to see. We got hot dogs, pepperoni pizza, cherry limeade. The lazy river does cost extra but it's worth it, I'd love to return because unfortunately due to inclement weather the water attractions were shut down.

Watching the performers was delightful. Even with the air lines under the water it was amazing to watch. Just being able to keep your eyes open underwater was astounding to me. We even got an extra performance for the Memorial Day holiday with a tribute to our service members. After the show they had a mermaid photo op that was donation based. After the show, I explored the rest of the park. It isn't that large but was a nice area and worth the $13 to get in. They have an area for swimming in part of the springs. I didn't bring my swimsuit but there were many people swimming and having a good time. There are some water slides too. They have a great gift shop. Loved having the opportunity to visit and see an iconic spot for mermaid lovers!

This review is long overdue. In 1992, my parents left me here on accident (so they say). To be…read morefair, there were two huge church vans filled with people and they assumed I was on the other bus. The security team took me into the office and asked me to describe my father. Meanwhile, my father and mother and the rest of the church goers were at Pizza Hut. Slowly but surely, they figured out I was "missing." At first, I roamed the park like a wild child experiencing my first taste of freedom at last, but then I started to panic. The security staff did their best to make me feel safe but the incident still appeared in my therapy session 20 years later. The warheads here were so good, as was the waffle cone. I don't know. I was like, 7 or 8. I'm 41 now. Anyway, thanks for adopting me for that hour and keeping me safe, Adventure Island. I still miss you!

Unfortunately the park close early this evening due to weather conditions. The ones I said ensure that all the customers left the park safely and promptly. I was with a group and we made sure we stick together and listen to all the required announcements. Call and Jade assisted me at the snack shack where they have pizza and soft serve unfortunately they did not have any software available at the time when I was there or they didn't have any pepperoni ready either they just told me 15 to 20 minutes wait. Matthew at the front gate assisted taking a picture for us with the group We appreciate that Thank you very much. I managed to pick up a souvenir from my family before exiting the park.

It…read morewas like someone said, let's: arrange items from thrifts stores and never dust, have amateurs and professionals make art exhibits, have acquariums we won't clean, have a zoo we won't mow the grass at so you can barely see some of the animals, have an old school looking ice cream shop that is not open, a bathroom that looks like a port-a-potty so bad you won't even use it, and also putt putt golf. From big foot to fish to zebras to an alligator I never got to see because the area was so over grown to taxidermy to quirky tour guides to a whole Christmas themed room. Definitely something unique. All that said, the place is huge and there is so much to see and take in. We spent about 1.5 hours there and had a good time just looking at everything and laughing at a lot. Place could definitely use a lot of upkeep. Several animal stalls were very over grown and I bet that affects the animals. That said I did get access to all the animals I wanted to see and they all looked healthy. You even get a baggy of food to feed them. The horse is such a demanding sweetheart. You can tell it is family owned, a quirky family, and they enjoy the business. It is kinda in the middle of nowhere in farm land and just pops up so follow that GPS. Ample parking and easy access. Bring your camera. This is a fun time, just don't take it serious, especially when you take a picture with Sasquatch.

My younger sister and I were so excited about it we didn't give it a second thought and brought it right up to the counter. The woman at the counter gave us the points and said she'd text her manager about the note inside. We played for another 30 minutes or so and went back to the counter. She told us our point total and I asked if her manager had texted her back. She said they did, then "ha ha very funny" which caught me off guard. I realize now that it was a prank by whoever had the chest before, but I responded apologetically even though the attitude confused me. She told us something along the lines of "yeah well it's not real" like we were annoying her. She walked away while we were trying to just move on and choose our prizes. Another woman came to help us. The entire interaction left me feeling humiliated and incredibly insulted. I asked a question. I didn't deserve that. Disgusting experience.

Parking was free because we went on a weekday, i saw signage for paid parking so im not sure if it is always free. The waivers muat be completed before checkout. They wrist band you and then guide you to the next window where they will harness you. Following the harness you go through an intro training and then a practice course before being allowed on the main platform. The great thing about this is that they show you how to stay connected and safe. We started at yellow and made our way up to green level course. Next time we will attempt the blue and the black. The way it works is that once you are done with the training course they mark your badge with the final time that you will be able to go to the main platform and start a course. We were climbing for about 2 hours before we decided to call it! It's a great physical and mental stimulation. You can tell that they care about the course because everything was maintained. Additionally, the staff were soooo nice! Great team! There is also a gift shop with ice-cream and some small finger food if you need a bite while out there. I recommend bringing your own water because they cost 8 dollars! We will be back!!

Awesome experience. Didn't really have a lot of the aquarium atmosphere but you gotta understand…read moreit's a marine hospital not really a full blown out aquarium. Overall loved the place, purchased the boat ride to see the dolphins and we actually got to see a manatee and a pod of dolphins! Multiple times by the way. And yes you run the risk of not seeing anything. It's the ocean not a planned exhibit where you're guaranteed to see a dolphin. The boat ride itself was worth the $20 though in my opinion! The two dolphins were awesome to see inside and they did tricks as well. Definitely recommend stopping here if your in the area! Well worth the price.

I read a bunch of reviews for many aquariums around me. This one stuck out to me because a lot of…read morethe reviews said that although it wasn't the biggest aquarium, they were there for hours and learned so much about alot of the animals there. We got to the aquarium around 10:30am today and let me tell you, the instant we arrived we were told there was a teaching about sharks going on. On the way to the teaching, there was a friendly lil guy we passed on the way. He was so stinkin cute. The older gentleman says he roams the entire place when he's hungry and looking for food lol. The shark teaching was so good. Lots of great information as well as the diver inside the aquarium. It was so fun to see her feed the fishes and shark while we were getting the information. The next teaching we went to was the baby alligators. It was so cute, but they were pretty feisty. Lol. The next teaching was the best one I've personally ever had experienced. They did the teaching about their two big gators - Indiana jones & Donkey. Now, I've been to many aquariums from Hawaii all the way to Canada. This aquarium was only one I've ever been to where to gators look alive, happy and well cared for. You can tell that these guys really do love their job and the animals they have. The teaching was amazing and such a great experience. We also got to feed stingrays, baby sharks, baby gators and much more! The petting zoo was so cute as well. All in all - I can't recommend this place enough. If you're wanting to go somewhere where you get what you pay for - this is the place to do it. I've paid much more for animals that just look like they'd much rather not be there. 10/10, you guys at Tarpon Springs Aquarium are doing great! We left at 2:30 by the way. We were there for four hours. It was so hot but I enjoyed every second!

Our family is local and told us about this place, it's a small family owned business which we like to support. Such a great experience for our kids. They enjoyed themselves. You have to buy tickets to feed the animals, all prices were reasonable, they offered annual passes as well as kids tickets, and senior tickets, and kids 0-2 are free. If you are in the area and have a few hours you want to kill definitely go check this place out. Also right down the road about 10 mins is sunset beach.

This review is for their camp…read more It's crazy that nine years ago I went on the zip line course and here we are now and I have a seven-year-old who went to camp here. I actually had no idea they had a camp in the summer until one of my son's friends wanted to go here and asked us to join him. I'm so glad he did because it was an absolutely fantastic camp. It is fully outside, but they are mainly in the shade so I didn't worry about sunburn and also the kids never complained about it being hot. I have no idea what wizardry this is, but it was completely fine. Three days they zip line and two days they paddleboard. I was actually quite nervous because my son is small so I wasn't sure if he'd be able to zip line. I did call and ask and they said if it's a windy day that he would be tethered to a Guide. He ended up skipping zip lining for two of the days, but on the final day of zip line, he did it and he loved it. He's actually now asking for us to go back together. They also provide lunch, which is fantastic because I hate figuring out what to send for food. They provide snacks as well so all I had to do was send my son with a water bottle and on certain days with a swimsuit and towel. He had a fantastic time. You can drop off at 8:30 and pick up at 4:30, they really don't start till about 9:30 though and I totally took advantage of a later drop off. You can pay eight dollars a day to pick up at five, which is extremely reasonable. We've already been talking about going back to camp again here next year and maybe for additional weeks. He loved it.

Once we arrived the crew explained everything to us gave us the safety demo and we were off! Our guides, Andrew and Ryan were amazing! They were young and vibrant and kept our daughters entertained (6-7 IYKYK). We went through each zip line and obstacle with ease and had a great time while doing it. We learned a few fun facts about the birds and wildlife we came across and were given a few places to head to once we left. Overall this was a fun event to add to our great vacation. We would definitely come back and do it all over again. Thanks so much guys!
