  • My kids and I really enjoy this place. The venue is always clean, the attractions and exhibits are very well presented, entertaining and even a bit educational. The staff is very professional and helpful. And most importantly, the animals all appear to be happy and in very good health. Almost all of them were rescues at some point, so I appreciate the fact that this establishment gave them a chance to live and thrive that they otherwise wouldn’t have had. I highly recommend coming here, especially with kids.
  • A fun, family-friendly, and educational place to visit. I advise you to book your tickets ahead. I had a great time here. there is an entrance fee. The fee includes access to the show, pool, restaurant, showers, changing room, boat tour, and beautiful garden. . . The shows are between 10 to 30 minutes long. The staff runs on time. Some are just educational and a few are animal shows. For an additional fee, you can do animal encounters. They have swimming with dolphins, sea lions, and stingrays. . . The staff was all very professional and friendly. I thought the place was worth the price. Except to be here for at least 3 hours.
