Coral World Ocean Park

Great place. Nice paths and the bird sanctuary was nice. We were able to catch a few shows even though we arrived in the afternoon. Just this had everything you could ask for. Exotic plants and plenty of lizards ! Wonderful aquatic life. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable. The large aquarium was great and the staff knew a lot about the fish. Plus the beach is right around the corner. Don’t want a plus !

We had a WONDERFUL time at the dolphin swim! It's a bit pricey but you can get a discount if you stay at Margaritaville and sit through their sales pitch 😁 still, it was a ton of fun. We're very happy to support the dolphin team! Jasmine was an absolute delight and so much fun! My daughter got to dance with a dolphin - her dream!!! My only thought/recommendation was that the aquarium itself was kinda meh. You can only see a sea lion if you attend one of their presentations so we completely missed it. It's next door to Coki beach and you can park in coral worlds lot if you attend the aquarium. Pretty sure you get a free ticket into the park if you book an excursion -so don't pay twice!!!

Awesome experience doing the Sea Trek - walking on the ocean floor in a helmet!!! We held a sea egg, star fish, and invertebrate and got to see so many beautiful creatures and coral! Our guides made it the best. In addition, we caught the sea lion talk, walked the nature trail to see tortoises and iguanas, caught the sea turtle talk, saw the dolphin that another family was enjoying swimming with, and several small exhibits. We ate at the Shark Bar onsite; they had a decent menu. We got the burgers and a “Shark Bite” rum drink. My family of four with two teen boys enjoyed this place. Highly recommend.

We went mainly for the dolphin encounter. Our grandson loved that, and we appreciated the enthusiasm of the staff. Then we made our way through the exhibits which were done very well, considering this isn't an enormous park. The underwater observatory was unique. The park wasn't overcrowded. Enjoyed the gift shop and food stand.

At the tail end of our vacation and looking for a few hours to kill before our flight we stumbled on this little gem of a place! We got there in time to see the Macaw presentation which included information about them, and feeding. We spent a good amount of time chatting with Mary at the touch tank who was super friendly and knowledgeable! We got to catch the shark feeding demonstration as well. We learned that Coral World has some really cool exhibits and is very involved with rehabilitation and research to develop more resilient coral species. Would absolutely recommend visiting and taking the time to chat with the different staff and learning about all of their animals! You can tell that they care a lot about their animals!
