Miami Seaquarium is the largest aquarium in the United States, situated in Key Biscayne Island. In the park are found hundreds of species of fish, sea turtles, sharks, reptiles, and other animals that also participate in the daily attractions and shows. It is a great thing to do in Miami with kids, but the adults will love it as well.
About 600,000 people visit the Miami Seaquarium every year looking for lots of fun and entertainment, especially during the presentations and attractions with marine animals.
Shows
Killer Whale & Dolphin
Imagine an Orca Killer Whale living, playing and performing with its Dolphin friends. Well…you are able to find that pacific relationship at the Miami Seaquarium where Lolita (the Killer Whale) and her white-sided dolphin friends show off their grace and intelligence in this amazing show.
Top Deck Dolphin
Thrill to the high-flying antics of bottlenose dolphins as they perform breathtaking leaps and rolls. Guests thrill to the acrobatics of these agile marine mammals as they brave “rough waters” during the Rock n’ Roll Cruise. The Top Deck dolphins can be viewed anytime throughout the day from above and below the water. Keep your eyes open you might be able to spot a baby dolphin depending on when you visit.
Golden Dome Sea Lion
Enjoy the hilarious adventures of Salty the Sea Lion and his Reef Rangers. This comedic playlet allows the sea lion and seal stars to show off their athletic and comedic abilities as they explore the reef searching for a littering diver. You, too, can be a Reef Ranger by helping protect our waters from trash and recycling whenever possible.
Flipper Dolphin Show
The new Caribbean themed show, with a new set, music, and behaviors will let everyone know what Flipper has been up to in recent years. While the show demonstrates that Flipper’s surroundings may have changed, his core commitment to helping out when there is a need has not. In addition, a new historic display of images and nostalgia from the original TV show will be on exhibit at the entrance of Flipper’s stadium.
