Coral World Ocean Park Description
Young children will scramble to hold starfish, feed stingrays, even pet sharks. Teens will plead to walk the ocean floor and swim with sea lions, and everyone will want to ride a semi-submersible submarine. The latter three significantly up the financial ante, but they're once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and well worth your child's amazed and delighted reactions. The basic entrance fee, however, promises plenty of fun, from hand-feeding birds and exotic sea life to descending below sea level to witness a natural coral reef teeming with moving creatures. The setting is spectacular.
Kid Tips
Babies: Everyone's entertained! Even your infant will find something fun to watch.
Planning Notes
- Bring bathing suits and towels. If you decide to do some of the additional activities, you'll be outfitted.
- You can buy your lunch. The Shark Bar & Grill will take care of everyone -- small kids to adults.
- A good option if it's raining. Plenty of great indoor exhibits.
- Tipping is expected. Staff members expect a gratuity for additional activities.
- Plan ahead. Reservations are necessary for the Sea Trek, Sea Lion Splash, and Semi-Submersible Submarine during high season; highly recommended off-season.
