Great visit for the entire family. Feeding the animals was one of the best experiences for kids and adults. The property is very well maintained and clean. You can buy a package for feeding the anima… Full review by carpe-diem-nunc

Hi! Are vests provided for the encounters together with the rest of the gear?
A:
They gave us a water suit and there were floatation noodles and things to hold on to all around. I am sure they have them. We didn't need them, but I am sure they had them.

We did not go to the Dolphin encounter so I cannot really comment on that. Our ages ranged from 12 to 52. We all really enjoyed the aquarium. It was pretty hands on and we spent most of our time around the touch tanks and feeding the lobsters, the stingrays and the Tarpon (when you feed the tarpon go to the left of the stingrays on the way to the shark exhibit...they are bigger then the tarpon to to the right). We were all pleasantly surprised with the aquarium and would definitely so back. It is a little pricey for two hours but I would still say it is worth the price of admission. Buy the food to feed the fish, it’ll make it the experience all the better.

Q:
Is this place accessible by boat? Or is there docking nearby?

Not sure sorry
