Matt Richards:

"A lot of cool animals, with quite a few you can get up close to. We had a good time here and would go back again. They didn't have their normal schedule going on the day we went, so can't speak the whole experience. Definitely a good place to take the family. Does look like they need to do some renovations there, but that didn't hinder our time there. We would visit again."

"Overall a decent experience. Myself and youngest daughter purchased the dolphin encounter. I called before purchasing the tickets and was told as long as she’s 40+ inches tall she’d be able to participate. I had to hold her the entire time, which was fine for me but unpleasant for her. The water was definitely not clear and seemed dirty. I had anticipated the water to be clear/cleaned beforehand because of the photos they’ve posted on their website are clear water. The photos we received were decent. The times to the establishment weren’t clearly stated. Online it stated one time and on their phone line it stated a different time. It’s a decent place to take your children."

"Love this place so nice great experience over all but the prices are wayyy to high and it’s hard to be able to get a full experience of the place without spending a ton! The place is clean the staff is nice and the animals were incredible. I will be back here for sure and hopefully pricing changes to make it more affordable for families to really experience the animals in a more up close way .. my kids had a great time and loved it here as well."

"My family and I had a nice time!! We wished we would have gotten there when they opened as we didn't get to see the encounter with the sea lion. But we did get to see a lot of neat animals. We also got to pet and feed stingrays and see a really neat dolphin show. So overall we had a good time and the kids really enjoyed it"

"We have been visiting Gulf World for a very long time. We always have a great time, and it is very educational for the kids. We love the Dolphins, Sea Lions, penguins, Stingrays, Alligators, Sea Turtles, Nurse Sharks, all different types of Exotic Birds, and other fish. The facilities are pretty outdated and needs to be updated and remodeled, which when we were there they had parts of the facility closed for remodeling. This is definitely a destination you should add while you are visiting PCB. You will not be disappointed."
