Tip from our locals:

Bring sunscreen–the Gulfarium is an outdoor marine adventure park with a ton of animals to see including gators, giant tortoises, harbor seals and sea turtles.

If you see an employee, make sure to ask questions. They are super friendly and helpful. Chances are you’ll be talking to someone who feeds and cares for the animals!
