Gulf World Marine Park

Fodor's Review:

It's certainly no SeaWorld, butwith a tropical garden, tropical-bird theater, plus alligator and otter exhibits, the park is still a winner with the kids. The stingray petting pool and the shark-feeding and scuba demonstrations are big crowd pleasers, and the old favorites—performing sea lions, otters, and bottle-nosed dolphins—still hold their own. If you're really nautically minded, consider the Trainer for a Day program, which allows you to go behind the scenes to assist in food preparation and training sessions and make an on-stage appearance in the Dolphin Show.

  • Cost: $24
  • Open: Late May-early Sept., daily 9AM-7:30PM; call for hrs at other times of year
