"Family aquarium on the cheap"
The Gulfarium was our favorite part of our Destin trip. It's not overpriced like most aquariums. Parking was easy enough. The dolphin show was fantastic- plenty of room for everyone to either sit or stand. Our 10 month old loved seeing all the animals. Since I'm a frugal-minded mom, I appreciated the reasonably priced concession stand. We sat at a picnic table practically on the beach and ate while our daughter wandered around looking at the pretty scenery. We can't wait to go back!
Only complaint: certain areas weren't very stroller friendly.

"Very small aquarium"
We visited there expecting it would take at least a half day. Actually, it turned out to be a very small place and only took a couple of hours including watching dolphin and sea lion shows. If you get bored going to the beach, it might be a good place to visit. But don't expect to see much stuff there.

"Small park"
The gulfarium is a rather small park. There are 2 dolphin shows, a sea lion show, and a diving demonstration. There are several different exhibits to check out, but there's not enough to fill an entire day. This would be a good idea for a rainy day because most everything has an awning.

"Ok for the area"
This is a pretty decent place for the area. There isn't anything like it around. My daughter was 2 years old when we went there and enjoyed herself. It was located at a very convienent location right next to the Ramada Inn where we stayed.

"Fun with the Family"
At Fort Walton Beach’s premier attraction, dolphins and seals perform acts and scuba divers demonstrate. The state’s second oldest such facility, it also does rehabilitation and educational work. Gulfarium has a beach setting, which makes it feel more natural to see dolphins leaping into the air.

"Children under 10 and ocean lovers will enjoy!"
The Gulfarium is very small and you don't have to plan a whole day for this outing. Tickets are a little pricey, 19.25 for adults and 11.50 for 3-12. We took my 3yo nephew and he had a lot of fun. There is a sea lion show and a dolphin show...you can see them perform together too. We enjoyed the feeding times the most but I think the big touch pool was my nephew's favorite! They offer private dolphin encounters at an additional cost but they book up quickly and your child must be at least 7 and 48".
