Horrible experience! There are a handful of dirty tanks with very few fish. There are some outdoor water displays with no inhabitants, while the inhabited ones are dirty and filled with algae. The water in the dolphin tank was cloudy. Lots of torn canopies over the outside exhibits. Parking is $20 cash - only choice if you want to go inside. A disgrace - don’t waste your money. This attraction should be closed!

I am a visitor from the UK. I went to the Miami Seaquarium on 8th May 2025. When I arrived the car park was almost empty which I considered a little strange for what I thought was going to be a main Miami tourist attraction. I first entered the dolphin viewing gallery which had about 6 large fish tanks around the walls, 3 of which were empty. I have been to the florida aquarium and I thought this was going to be similar, sadly however, it wasn't. Everything is dated and by comparison to the florida aquarium. Is disappointing. I next ventured to the Dolphin arena. Now this was spectacular!! Well put together, great fun, family orientated and the ladies presenting the show made it super entertaining...simply put...brilliant. The sealions were also a fantastic experience. There are however, next to no fish tanks and not really a great deal to do for the entry price. Overall...here is a summary...if you want to see dolphins in a show...this is the place for you and it won't disappoint...however if you want a modern aquarium experience with under water walkways etc....this is definitely not the place for you... yes fun, but dated.

"Fun in Miami"

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.
