Area Attractions

 
It’s Miami’s premier attraction! It’s the place where dolphins fly, where fearsome moray eels lurk in coral reef caverns, where shimmering schools of exotic fish dance through underwater seascapes, and it’s the only place where you will see the graceful beauty of four Pacific white sided dolphins combined with the awesome power of a three ton killer whale. It’s a world-class marine-life entertainment park with eight different marine animal shows and presentations offered each day. It’s Miami Seaquarium!

Miami Seaquarium, located ten minutes from downtown Miami on beautiful Virginia Key, offers visitors hours of fun – and it’s educational too. Across 38 landscaped acres, the marine life entertainment park provides a fun-filled mix of exhibits, shows, attractions, food and shopping opportunities that have made it a Miami institution.
