    Great day! I'm dead tired.

    My daughter took me here. She never disclosed the price but I know it was pretty expensive. I know this because JUST the photos cost $400(we didn't buy them). However, it is all inclusive. Truly, you only need to bring your swimsuit...and a hat. They...More

    I loved swimming with Capricorn, the dolphin

    It's a beautiful park! I loved swimming with Capricorn, the dolphin. The swimming session lasted about 1/2 hour and you got to pet, feed and take a ride on the dolphin. I also enjoyed the grand reef with all of the tropical fish and rays....More

    Great food and atmosphere

    Our service this time was incredibly slow. Although our waitress smiled a lot she was not attentive and spent a lot of her time just hanging around.

    Wonderful!

    We loved this park more than Disney. Did I just admit that? I did! I love that once you pay it's all done, no paying for parking or food. It's all covered. They also accommodated my gluten-free needs too. We swam with the dolphins as...More
