"Fun in Miami"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed April 01, 2025 NEW
Visited the Seaquarium with my family. I hadn't visited since about a decade ago and wanted my daughter to experience it. The entire facility was clean and well maintained. It wasn't overcrowded and the shows were excellent, educational, and not overly long to keep a kid's attention span. The best part was meeting a dolphin. Very child friendly and my daughter loved it! I recommend to take a change of clothes or take something that dries quickly, since you will inevitably get wet if you sit close to the water during the shows. All in all, it was a lovely family experience and fun activity. Definitely recommended and will return.

"Eh...not good"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5

I really thought that the reviews about this place we're probably dramatic but, sadly, they are accurate. This is the saddest, most run down attraction I've been to. There is hardly anything to see other than the shows -- and the shows were ok (thankfully). So many attractions were shut down (no manatees, ropes course is closed) or just plain sad. The cafe was scary -- if we had more choices we wouldn't have eaten at all but we were killing time after a cruise and didn't have a car. I really hope someone decides to buy this place and turn it into something better.

"A Heartfelt Review for Miami Seaquarium"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed March 17, 2025 NEW
I cannot thank Miami Seaquarium enough for providing my son and me with an unforgettable experience that will stay in our hearts forever. From the moment we arrived, the staff's warm welcome set the tone for a day of joy, discovery, and wonder. One of the highlights of our visit was witnessing the independence of the penguin walk. It was a magical moment watching these adorable, curious creatures waddle past us, making their way through the park. It was both educational and entertaining, and my son was absolutely captivated. Equally impressive were the incredible dolphin interactions. The chance to get up close with these majestic creatures was nothing short of amazing. Their intelligence and playfulness were on full display, and it was a privilege to witness such an intimate connection between humans and dolphins. The performances throughout the day were simply spectacular. Each show was full of energy, passion, and educational value. I was blown away by the dedication of the trainers and the animals’ enthusiasm, making each moment feel special and unique. Miami Seaquarium, you’ve given us the gift of incredible memories, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to share these moments with my son. Thank you for your dedication to wildlife education, conservation, and for creating a space where families can bond and experience the beauty of the animal kingdom together. We can’t wait to return!

"Enjoyed our day."
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed March 03, 2025
We are so glad that we didn’t listen to all of the negative posts. If you want a 3-4 hour fun outing for kids with less crowds this is the place. $32 for a handful of up close fish, sharks, penguins, stingrays, exotic birds, and dolphins, as well as 3 adorable shows that are timed so that you can go from show to show. Snacks and food with play area or views of Miami are there if you wanted to extend your trip. Cheaper personal encounters if you are bringing older children. As a parent who paid high dollar for Sea World, I recommend this place to get similar experience at a much cheaper price.

"Amazing Experience Dolphin Swim"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed February 15, 2025
I had the opportunity to visit the Miami Seaquarium for the first time"Royal Dolphin Swim" which was booked through Dolphin World. From making reservations to the end of the swim everything/everyone was professional, friendly and courteous. I had the pleasure of working with trainer Rachel. I was the only one in the group and Rachel made sure I got to see everything and allowed me to ask lots of questions. Playing and swimming with the dolphins was such an amazing experience. The park itself was clean and maintained including the dolphin tanks. The photographer took amazing pictures and the cost was very reasonable. Please check out @chewbakathelilacbully on IG to see dock diving bulldogs! Thanks for making my experience so unique and special.
