What People Are Saying About Miami Seaquarium

In Short – Home to Lolita the Killer Whale, Salty the Sea Lion and dozens of dolphins, the Miami Seaquarium features performing marine mammals and offers an educational experience as well. Visitors can check out the reef aquarium with its 750,000-gallon saltwater tank, which is teeming with fish of every size, shape and color. Inside, a diver swims around, hand-feeding the residents, including groupers, loggerhead turtles and moray eels.

Great Place!
by Inmotionparty at Citysearch
This place is actually a very nice attraction. I have read many negative reviews about it however, if you really look at some of the pictures, there isn't anything wrong with it! Many of the people who protest it are young and stupid teenagers who think that they are trying to make a statement but they are really just trying to get attention for themselves.
This park is clean and the staff are all very friendly. Don't compare it to SeaWorld since thats a huge corporation (its like comparing apples to oranges). No, the Miami Seaquarium isn't as big but still, it is a very cool place to go. My personal favorite was the Flipper show and the Top Deck Dolphin show.
If you see all of the shows, exhibits and keeper talks, it should last you about 5-6 hours max. Give this place a shot, it is a lot of fun! You might even "fall in love" with some of their animals!
- Pros: Shows and exhibits
- Cons: Could be bigger but still a lot of fun!

Definite Rip Off
by user2008 at Citysearch
I would call this a definite rip off. It was expensive but worthless. It was a dirty place; poor customer service; there was not much to see; sea mammals are confined to tiny spaces - A VERY SAD PLACE.
There were a couple of alligators, large turtles, couple of dolphins, unexciting tropical fish, and it was a tiny place. We expected so much more from it. Especially after a visit to a Sea World in San Diego this place was "pathetic" in comparison. The animals even looked sad. My husband and I were shocked at how little space the sea mammals had...it was disturbing.
The only show we saw was the dolphin/whale show, which was mediocre; we left right after that as the next show was in 2 hours and we saw the whole seaquarium in less than 30 minutes.
NEVER go and waste your money on this place.
- Pros: ?
- Cons: rip off; dirty; poor shows; little to see; animal cruelty;

Peaceful setting

Good to visit with childer, rare manatees and well-trained dolphins. We were wishing to see more flamingoes though.
- Pros: Lots to see
- Cons: Expensive
