Small 5-6 min motion movie 3r ride located in the popular and crowded harborwalk village in Destin…read moreFlorida. Me and my family was waiting to do a firework cruise through Destin snorkel in the village and we had some time to kill. We seen this ride experience and thought "why not it's vacation". Pricing is high at $13 a person but you expect that at tourists traps like this. The decor in here was ratty fun and the workers were nice. You choose from a list of different spooky or fun adventures. The workers describe them as motion roller coasters with 3r goggles. After picking your "movie" you wait in a lien until it's your turn. Wait wasn't bad. As each one only lasts about 5-6 min and we only had one family in front of us. They have a row of yellow chairs and when it's your turn a curtain draws and shuts you in for the best viewing pleasure. My kids went with the carnival movie choice. The ride itself was fun and it had a few legit jump scares on the ride too. We all really enjoyed the ride as the movie we picked was creative. The rides are interactive as you have a little yellow gun attached to your chair and you shoot the bad guys to see who gets the high score. In our see we're shooting evil and demented clowns. Not to brag but I kicked my kids butts and landed a top 5 score for the day in that particular movie ride. Overall a fun and memorable vacation experience. You wish it was cheaper but you also understand the hustle too. I wouldn't be opposed to going again and doing a different movie If we ever vacation the Destin area again.

Family tradition, and great fun! Always a good time with a little friendly, family competition!read more

Great place to stop in and learn about alligators!…read more We had time to kill before heading to the airport and decided to come watch the free alligator show! We stayed about 30 minutes. They have a restaurant & everyone seemed nice and courteous. We walked around the gift store and found a coffee cup to take home. The playground looks like fun and appeared to be free too. I would bring kids here and expect to spend some money on the souvenirs and the cute take home decorative cups.

You could tour around for 45 min and be done. I was concerned about habitation. The alligators don't have any enrichment in their pens.

You can also rent a cabana which we did. It's pricey but we were glad to have it for the baby. Plenty of room for all of us to sit. They provided 4 bottles of water. There is a cooler as well and a safe which we really appreciated. Lots to do for all ages. Some slides you can't have sunglasses, hats etc. Best bet is to just bring yourself. Wearing some type of water shoes that don't come off is beneficial because you can't have loose shoes and the ground gets hot in bare feet. Be sure to bring beach towels and sunscreen. Fun day.

I don't know if the shift lead was busy, was one of the teens or just not super good at directing their staff, but it was pretty bad.

We saw stingrays, dolphins, penguins, manatees, turtles, crocodiles, pelicans, snakes, lizards, frogs, and many other animals. Even though we missed the scheduled shows, there was still plenty to see and enjoy at our own pace. One of the best parts was learning that they care for many rescue animals and help rehabilitate and release them back into the ocean when possible. It was great seeing a place focused on marine animal rescue and conservation. The park was family friendly and easy to walk through, with lots of close-up animal encounters. The reason for 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is that some of the animal habitats and viewing areas were not very well maintained. A few tanks had noticeable algae buildup, which made it difficult to clearly see some of the animals. Overall though, we still had a good experience and would recommend visiting if you are in the Fort Walton Beach area.

You'll walk 47 miles, but at least you'll burn off that fried shrimp platter. Bring comfy shoes and your wildest beach hat.
