This was a super cool experience during our trip to Biloxi a few years ago. There was a dolphin and…read moresea lion educational show that was really fun but my highlight was the opportunity to be kissed by a sea lion! For a small fee, you receive a photo as the sea lion is planting a big wet kiss on your cheek! Another highlight was the budgie area where you bought sticks of food and the parakeets (budgies) landed on you and ate from them. It's not for the faint of heart or anyone that's afraid of birds, lol. This is a fun place to visit with kids or anyone who appreciates birds and marine life. Beware: in the summer, there's a lot of walking outdoors and it can get quite hot. Make sure you wear your sunscreen and bring a neck fan!

At time of purchasing tickets it could've been mentioned what is and isn't available; would be very helpful. We were unable to feed and/or pet the stingrays, there was only 5 spots for kissing sea lion that were no longer available, so for a family unable to plan in advance with changing schedules it was a bummer. The bird feeder stick took me by surprise because it looks disappointing, however it was sufficient to get some of the birds to land. The dolphin/sea lion show was pretty good, I would just appreciate maybe a screen with whatever the speaker was saying, it was hard to hear in that room with the echo. All in all my family enjoyed it.

It's located in Gulfport, MS very near the interstate, which makes it very easy to get to. You can buy your tickets online, at the counter or through a discount online ticket seller - which is what I did for our last visit. I was able to save $11 per ticket. They open at 10:00 and I suggest getting there early because it gets crowded in the afternoon. The employees check all bags before you are admitted into the park, and I appreciate their concern for everyone's safety. Once in you can find a lounger, or table and chairs with an umbrella. This is your best option, as it gets hella hot out there. I've only been able to snag one a couple of times. They're a popular item for good reason. Now for the fun stuff: There's a large wave pool that pushes you into the lazy river. There are entrances and exits along the lazy river where you can hop in or out to move around the park on foot. If you're a water slider, and who isn't, you're in luck. There are several and they're pretty nice. You can ride alone or in pairs on most of them. There's also one of those huge racing slides. It's fast and I really get a kick out of it If you plan to eat there plan on spending a few bucks. At the main cafes they serve pizza, hot dogs, grilled chicken, burgers and chicken tenders. I had a grilled chicken sandwich on our most recent visit and it was actually quite tasty. There are two sets of restrooms and one of them was out of commission on our last trip. It seems that one of the toilets had overflowed. The other bathroom only has 2 stalls so it was kind of a cluster. It's in the building where the changing rooms are located. The ladies' rooms are always as clean as they can be in a water park, I guess. Other notes - there are lockers available for a fee, there's a gift shop for necessities, dippin dots truck, sweets "booth" that serves ice cream, funnel cakes, etc., taco truck, and cabanas that can be rented for a fee. I think my favorite thing about Gulf Islands is that it's not enormous and I can usually keep tabs on the kiddos without too much hassle. I'm quite the helicopter mom, so that's important me.

Me and 3 of my family went on a Sunday. We rented one of the Sundecks and stayed from open to…read moreclose. The sweet and helpful girl ( I wish I could remember her name) that walked us to our sundeck gave us a couple of papers, one a map of the park, one a list of food items that could be ordered and delivered to our sundeck along with the website to pull it up. Around noon I pull the website up and it just says 'no items are available at this time'. The same worker was walking by so I stopped her to see if I was doing something wrong. She said it can do that when they're at the rush peak. Completely understandable. So I get my groups orders and two of us head towards the pizza place. We walked in and stood there, looking around not knowing who to order from or what the heck we were doing. We finally ask the girl at the register and she says oh you order from someone in the back. So we stood at the counter, made eye contact a few times, asked if we ordered there and the was told mmmhm. Then he went back to making pizza ignoring us. I finally get his attention and get our order in( which was like pulling teeth with no help or direction from anyone working there) . Pay and head over to the cafe to get the rest of the food. That place was equally confusing. No idea what we were doing with zero help from the workers there. Now I'm not blaming these kids. Because they were all working and learning. I blame management because they ( by they I mean every single worker in all 3 food areas we went to) were obviously not trained well and thrown out there. They looked worn out and frazzled. So I would recommend packing a picnic lunch and eating it out of the trunk of your car for sure. The waterpark itself was fun. The kids really enjoyed it. Just skip eating if you can help it

You can tell that the staff are educated and care very much about the animals. It is all very clean and well-kept. It took us about 2 hours to sidle through and look at everything. It's a good outing for an afternoon. Part of the facility is outdoors, with exhibits for the beavers (They have beavers!! So cute!!), the dolphins, the otters, and the local gators and wildlife. They have a penguin exhibit that is in the works and coming soon. The rest is indoors in a nice building. You go up to the top floor and work your way down through the various exhibits and tanks. A big part is outside, so you should check the weather before you go and be prepared to deal with whatever. There is a public parking garage right next door, but we parked across the highway at Jones Park and walked over to the aquarium. There is a nice pedestrian skybridge over the highway that makes it easy and safe.

They also have a concession stand, and a gift shop at the exit.

Usually around end of September to early October. You can look, buy or trade, burn rubber or race, converse or cruise. The strip of I-90 Beach Blvd 25 miles up and down. Also, each casino along that route holds its own array of exhibitions, bands, and events. The Edgewater Mall, coliseum and parks as well. There is no end to activities going on this full week long event. Awards are giving in many categories. Hundreds of RV spaces, hotels, condos, food vendors, restaurants, bars and the BEACHES are available for all the thousand of Cruisin' customers. This week 2018 the weather was amazing...sunny skies and 90 degree temps. Last year we left just before the hurricane. So making this an annual event for the entire family is a must.

When I hear him whistling or saying how sexy something is I can almost guarantee you it's not a girl he's looking at..it's a car. Which, by the way, is a good thing because I'd be a tiny bit jealous if he were whistling at another girl. And by tiny bit I mean a whole helluva lot. Anyway, he's the reason I have been to Crusin' the Coast now two years in a row. It's such a fun event. There are beautiful old cars up and down the beach, out of this world people watching and just a really nice way to spend a day or evening. Also? Educational. I now know a lot about cars. And this is coming from the girlest girl. I know what a '74 Nova looks like and why it's so badass. I now know why spinning your tires is a "thing" and what it actually smells like. I now appreciate old cars and restored engines. Don't hesitate to go to this yearly event. You (even you girls) won't regret it.
