great place to take the kids and take a break from the beach and sun. Great exhibits, everything you would hope to see during a dive and more. A little A/C to cool you down in the great tank room.

Spent the day here and loved every minute of it. Best Snubaing I've ever done. Shark feeding was awesome. Will be going back.

Was a clean environment, enjoyed walking around and seeing all the wildlife. The iguanas were everywhere, which were just as entertaining as the animals that were supposed to be there. The cafe inside has good food and drinks, reasonable prices. The underwater viewing area is a must see. The surrounding area is beautiful as far as landscape goes, once you... More

We went on a Sunday with very few visitors and not much in information from staff about the exhibits. Would be a nice side visit with a day trip to Coki Beach next door.

We had a good time visiting this place. We watched fish feeding, shark feeding, and stingrays feeding. My daughter enjoyed touching a shark and feeding stingrays. The sea lion was also fun. It a perfect place to go for a couple of hours and then go to the nearby beach.

This excursion is so much fun! The excursion begins with a scenic ride of the St. Thomas area and ends at the park. A small group of people are escorted to the sea lion pools and are briefed on the animals before handling them. Interraction with three sea lions, plus fantastic instructions from the instructors make this an experience to... More

Coral World is pretty shabby, but still the kids loved it. They did the Sea Trek and thought it was great, had a ball. While they were out of view, we went to see the birds, and it was fun to have them perch on your head and shoulders. We drank a smoothie while we were there, but didn't have... More

We did the Trek. My husband does not like to put his head under water but LOVED this. The helmet allows you to breathe normally and your head doesn't even get wet. The fish were numerous and varied. You wear the helmet and walk around a railing in a loop. You have plenty of time to stop and look. The... More

We went with a group of people to visit the Sea Lions. We were greeted by the staff and went back to the holding area for the Sea Lions. The trainers were courteous and had a lot of great information to share with each of us. We were able to learn a lot about the Sea Lions and had interacted... More
