Mississippi Aquarium

"Great place to take the family or just a little day time date. We loved how everything was separated into groups . They have inside and outside attractions. Even a little place to set and eat while u look ."

"Came today 2/27 for a little me time. I was impressed though not the biggest aquarium I have been to it certainly was quaint and well put together. I stopped first to Aquatic Wonders and a nice woman named Maureen had greeted me and asked me if I was ever there before. To which I politely stated no, and she proceeded to give me a quick 1 on 1 tour of the area and some of the aquatic life. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. I learned some new things I never knew before and was extremely grateful. Then I proceeded on throughout the exhibit and loved it all. Then went over to the Changing Tides which was a quick yet pretty exhibit area showing some sea life as well as land creatures (some frogs, snakes, and more!). The layout of the rest of the aquarium was mostly outside. I loved the otters they are so cute and got to see them eating. The aviary part was cool too! Also a volunteer that was working near the dolphin tank was so friendly and I am sorry I didn’t get her name but she was awesome. Also the staff working in the gift shop were phenomenal as well. Overall I was extremely happy with my visit, I spent about a good 2 1/2 hrs here worth it in my book."

"This little aquarium is pretty good. It has dolphins, and aquatic touch area, two indoor aquariums and an outdoor one. It packs a lot in such a little space. The annual passes are worth it and they do events all the time there. The outdoor area has fresh water fish and otters. There is a nice Avery outside too. The main indoor aquarium on the top floor has the aquatic petting area. You can do helmet dives and dolphin experiences here too. The second building, newly opened has smaller critters like sea horses, octopus and there's even a drawing area for kids that scans and animates their drawing. There's a parking garage attached or you can park across the street and take the new above Hwy 90 walkway."

"We try to visit an aquarium on just about every road trip. This was our first time in Gulfport. The aquarium was really nice! The outdoor exhibits were great,loved the dolphin tank. And walking through the tunnel through the aquarium was awesome! Highly recommend!"

"My family and I were so pleasantly surprised at what a great aquarium this is. It's the best one I've ever seen. Everything is played out in a way that allows you to really get up close. We chose the penguin encounter and were fortunate enough to be the only ones scheduled for that time. The trainers are friendly and very knowledgeable, and next time, I would love to do the dolphin encounter. The actual aquarium is huge!! Everything is very clean and nicely showcased."
