| - I am trying to review this fairly, based on our group of four's collective experience. I LOVE animals, especially dolphins, and it was my idea to go here.
I was thrilled with some aspects of it; guests are very close to the animals, the big cats were much more active than any I've seen in zoos, and there were a few "baby" dolphins (younger than a year). We caught part of a training exercise with the older dolphins, which was fun.
I was shocked by how small the entire facility is, but especially by how small the animal enclosures are. There are several dolphins in tanks which looked to be the size of a larger backyard pool, and there isn't much to break the monotony of the blue walls... I imagine the dolphins are bored, though I am no expert. The lions and tigers paced around their tiny enclosures, and the whole thing felt sort of sad.
I felt it was worth the $20 admission fee, but I think I was alone in that sentiment. It is VERY small; we wandered around, viewed each exhibit twice, and I think we left in under an hour.
