Purchased this experience for my grandson and his family.  They were beyond excited when they realized they would be interacting with dolphins.  An experience they will remember forever.

Great Experience

The Dolphins encounter was an wonderful experience that we will never forget.

Excellent

The kids had an absolute blast. Who doesn’t love dolphins?!

A Blast

Fantastic place. My family and I had a wonderful experience. Enjoyed the up-close encounters with the animals.

Gulfarium

I had a great experience with meeting the Dolphins. A++++++

Meet a Dolphin

The kids really liked the encounter with the dolphins

Dolphin encounter

It was very nice to have a chance to touch and feed a dolphin, but it was very, very short, only 5 minutes. If you are a family of 4 that makes $140 plus fees and taxes, so over $150 altogether. And extra for the photos that the Gulfarium employees take. My advice: pay for the kids, wait outside the fence and take your own pictures.

Sweet but short

It was awesome just wish for 39 dollars you had more then 5 mins with them.. all the trainers were very friendly and knowledgeable

Meeting the dolphins

Was a great experience for my grandson. Will have to come back again.

The forecast called for rain this day so we booked tix to see some marine life and enjoy the day anyways. They did not disappoint!

Great visit!

Booking our tickets to Gulfarium through TripShock was really easy & convenient. Our family had the best time & Gulfarium was a fun, dry place to spend a rainy day. My littles loved everything about the marine park and the dolphin show was a big highlight!

Wonderful family time!

We really enjoyed the aquarium!  My favorite part was the dolphin and sea lion shows!

My boyfriend and I purchased an hour of hatchet throwing for his birthday (at a great price). Unfortunately, due to some complications with his work, we didn’t get there until late (1:15am), which made me expect the staff to be rude and unkind. They were the opposite! Very kind, informative, and created overall a very comfortable and fun environment. As a first time axe thrower (my boyfriend has thrown before) his instructions were to the point, made important safety points very clear, and allowed me to take full advantage of the hour I paid for. I fully recommend!!!

Ratchet Hatchet - Great Experience, Even Better Staff

Great place, helpful staff and good drinks!

Axe throwing Fun!

The Ratchet Hatchet Axe Throw was fun! We were getting the hang of it after the first 30 minutes. We played a couple of games with it and that was fun!  My son won a free hour for hitting the bullseye after the first hour. I would book this again!

Fun! Fun!

The Ratchet Hatchet

From the invisible to the immeasurable, this museum covers the spectrum of science. Experience the interactive museum including indoor and outdoor exhibits, animal presentations, and more! The museum is home to over 45 touchable, workable exhibits and over 30 animals. The museum is a great way to spend the day for families with children of all ages (admission is good for the whole day, so come & go as needed!). It is also only the third museum in the entire country to house SMALLab Learning -- a groundbreaking exhibit that places you at the center of the action: think playing on a room-sized iPad, a.k.a., the sciPad. As an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit, it might be a smaller museum, but you'll discover upon entry that this museum is unlike any other you've experienced. Don't miss your chance to nerd out on some truly mind-blowing science at the Emerald Coast Science Center, book today!

Took my kiddo on a cloudy day and she had a blast! We especially loved the bubble experience and all the new things out back like the nature trail and tree forts. We will definitely be back!

Fun on a cloudy day!

Perfect birthday getaway for a small family vacation.

Loved it!

My granddaughter and I had a lot of fun at the Science center! So many great things to see!

Great experience

The one on one encounter with the  penguins was priceless. Having a one on one with the penguin handler and hearing about where they come from their habits, their diet and their interactions with each other as well as their human handlers was very interesting. Being able to pet them and feed them, it was beyond exciting. Money well spent if we visit again I think will do the very same with the dolphins my son thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience as didI. I highly recommend it.

Penguin Encounter

It was a lot fun. My only complaint was that we had to pay for photos. It's 26 a piece for general admission, 48 a piece for penguins, and then another 40 dollars for photos. I think after 150.00 already spent they could throw in the photos for free. Especially since you can't take your own photos on a personal device.

Penguins!!!!

My grandkids and I all had a great time, the shows were entertaining .

Wonderful

Really enjoyed the experience.  Did not realize we also had to pay to get into the park to just go to the turtle encounter so thought it was a little pricy since we could not stay for several hours.  However we were able to catch the dolphin exhibit and it was fantastic.

My daughter (16), my son (5) and myself all enjoyed this encounter. I really liked how educational it was, it was not just about the interaction with the animal but also a teaching moment. We definitely recommend it!

Fun for all ages

I loved the interaction as well as the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Out of the encounters I did, this one was by my far my favorite! Milo was just the cutest and seemed so happy to be with us. We learned a lot about him and how to care for our environment to make sure the wild animals are safe and can live long life like him. I would 10/10 recommend this encounter.

Milo is the cutest

This was an unreal experience! Seals are such beautiful and smart animals, and I’m so glad I got to meet Milo and his son Ollie. The trainers showed off how intelligent these animals were by showing us basic tricks. Most of these tricks are learned as ways to make it easier for the trainers to care for them whether it’s brushing their teeth or having them get into specific positions to check their health. This was such a memorable experience, and I’m so grateful I was able do it.

UNREAL!
