Gulf World

If you do it right you will have a great time! Get there at 10am, that way you can experience all the feedings, educational chats and shows. This is the only way you get your $$ worth. The staff were very friendly, helpful and eager to answer questions. You could tell they really cared about all the animals and all looked well taken care of.

I definitely would not support them again. Tickets were $30 a person and definitely not worth it. It’s very small with very few animals. All the animals were in very small enclosures with not nearly enough room to move around, and some animals were sharing enclosures. Seeing dolphins up close was an amazing experience, but not worth the condition the animals were in. On top of that, prices were way too high.

Not the normal aquarium we are use to seeing like in Gatlinburg, Atlanta, and Chattanooga. We enjoyed the dolphin show and the sea lion but other than that it wasn’t much to see especially for the price. It should not be called an aquarium just a “show” if you ask me. If they leave it as such and don’t bring in anything else to view they should definitely drop the price!!! This place definitely needs an upgrade. If you go to swim with the dolphins or penguins which is an add on then yes it’s pretty good but to just purchase regular tickets. Definitely need updates!!!

Very small facility. Not very organized. We opted to swim with the dolphins. They squeezed us in during our stay but it was very windy. & The trainer kept telling us to stand up with backs touching the wall. When the air temperature was only 62 degrees & water temperature is 72-75, I do not understand why we could not crouch down as the dolphins did not come to us. We went to them , on the edge of the platform. Good show. They only allowed 250 in to see the seal show. We missed it twice. & I think if you waited in line the first time & was turned away, because they allowed people to line jump. We should have been given priority for the next show. I would not pay the $25 general admission. Not worth it. A few turtles, birds, penguins, dolphins & seals ( if you get to see them)

I wouldn't waste your $30 they didn't have many animals and the ones they did were sharing tanks. The sharks were laying on top of each other and there was a turtle. The stingrays had a bigger tank then they did! The birds were pretty but they need to take off some of the animals they don't have! And expand the tanks!! We left after 35 mins because we seen everything in that time frame! I pray all the money goes towards the animals!
