The Activity we Experienced
What we chose to do
We Enjoyed Walking Amongst the Parrots at Gulf World
How did you discover this activity?
We found TripShock when searching through Google Maps. The tickets through TripShock were almost half off compared to the website! I was sold!
When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?
I booked the day of prior to arriving at the activity. So convenient!
Why did you choose this activity?
The kids love seeing animals, and Gulf World had great reviews. Also, we all wanted to see a dolphin show!
How did you get to the activity location?
We navigated via Google Maps and arrived by rental van.
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
All of the staff were well informed, and had genuine love for the animals they care for! The staff wasn’t pushy, just smiles all around!
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
Watching the dolphin and sea lion show were definitely our favorite memories! We learned a lot about the animals, and they performed well with their trainers. We also really enjoyed walking amongst the parrots and talking with them.
The kids really loved the stingray pool and touching some stingrays. Despite it being the off season, there was plenty to do and see with the whole family. Thus, it was even more enjoyable, as the crowds were at a minimum!
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
Yes! This is a great place for families or any animal-lovers. It was also super fun to walk amongst the parrots.
