Carla Unbelievably RUDE employees! My husband and I are both military and we're stationed at Hurlburt Field, so when my family decided to come visit, we thought of the Gulfarium. We enjoyed the shows and the animals, but at the end of the day we decided to get an ice cream cone to finish it off and while we were standing in line waiting on our order to be filled, one of the employees yelled at me and all the kids that were standing there with me to get out of the park because they were closing. Mind you that we are a multi-r... read more

good place The gulfarium is great, the animals are awesome. Initially you expect a larger place but it isn't. It is reasonable for what they offer. The kids love the shows. Store is pricey but most are.

Great Family Fun Me and my family have been to the Gulfarium many times, and have always enjoyed it. They have a very impressive dolphin show, with many different tricks. The dolphin tank is also see through on the lower levels. The seal show is very awesome too. Admission is a very price, but the gift shop is kinda pricey. PROS: Really Fun CONS: Gift Shop is Pricey

I Love GULFARIUM! The GULFARIUM is the last of the great oceanariums that sprung up in the 50's. The only other one left is the Miami SeaQuarium. To have this marine attraction still with us is wonderful! I am nostalgic. And I get emotional visiting these older attractions over the new "high tech" theme parks. Greg Seibenaler has done a great job carrying on his dad's legacy. I strongly feel the GULFARIUM should be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Way over priced! My children were so upset when they didn't get to see the big fish tank. I was told to bad because there were other fish tanks they could see. The other fish tanks they were talking about 2 had nothing in them and one was being cleaned all were 5 feet off the ground. So I had to hold a sleeping 7 month old and a 35 lbs 2 year old! Not only were my kids crying my back was KILLING me! I asked for a partial refund and I was told I was expecting to much and the Manager hung up on me!!!!... read more

fun for the whole family We really love going here on the weekends when everyone is home. They have many animals to see and sometimes touch. We love watching the dolphins. It is somewhat expensive, but it's so much fun you kind of tend to forget about how much you paid.

Fun for the Family Go get wet with the dolphins and see the sea lions strut their stuff at the Gulfarium. It's a great place for kids of any age and adults as well. Go feel a horshoe crab in the "hands on" area of the park, watch the sharks swim and check out their huge sea turtle. The gift shop is also a great place to find the perfect suvenier for anyone.

needs something new I have been going to the Gulfarium for about ten years. I speak most of the shows myself. My children still like to go, but they don't watch the shows anymore. I think they know them word for word two. The kids just like to look at the animals. They really like to watch when someone is in the tank cleaning. We love the animals, but the gulfarium is either going to step it up or start loosing buisness. I have seen dolphins in one pool that is way too small. I assume they were there for a special reason.
