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 way to spend 45 minutes…read more They have an elevator to the main dining area / gift shop. But then there's a couple steps to the alligator area. There might be another my the arcade. It's free to look around and listen to the show. The shows are every two hours more or less. The whole place was very busy and congested. They have 200 alligators in different stages of life. The alligators are from local farms and then give them to nature preserves when they age out. You can get a pole and food for $5 but the gators seemed well feed. You can also get a photo with a baby gator (taped mouth) for $.

There are plenty of slides suitable for younger children. Try to get there closer to open while it's cooler and the lines are shorter! A couple of things to note: If you park there, you will have to pay. The prices at the time we went were $35 for VIP parking at $20 for a further lot. The park opens at 10:00, but a couple of the slides did not open until after 11:00. The concession areas did not open until around 11:00 either.

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.

They have a 20% off military discount, which made the experience pretty cheap. The workers were kind in recommending the course and helping us find our way.

Some of the people we were with went zip lining. It was $27 to go there and back. Definitely a one time thing but they had fun.

We visited the Gulfarium in Fort Walton Beach and absolutely loved it! There was so much to see,…read moreincluding sea turtles, stingrays, penguins, alligators, sea lions, dolphins, and many other amazing animals. One of the things my hubby and I loved the most is that the Gulfarium also serves as a rehabilitation center for marine life. Many animals are treated and released back into the ocean whenever possible, while others that could not survive in the wild are given a safe and caring home. We saw a sea turtle with two missing flippers, which was both heartbreaking and made us happy at the same time since it wouldn't stand a chance to live in the wild. We watched both the sea lion and dolphin shows, and they were great. It was so nice to see that the trainers genuinely care about the animals. The animals were rewarded with plenty of treats, attention, and affection throughout the presentations. My favorite part of the entire visit was seeing the manatees. I had only ever seen them in pictures before, and I completely fell in love. They are such gentle, peaceful, and beautiful creatures. I could have watched them all day!

Here's an updated version with your added feedback included:…read more We visited Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in Fort Walton Beach and really enjoyed the self-guided walk through the park. 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.

There's food, there's shops, there's a guy juggling fire (maybe--it felt like there could be).

You'll walk 47 miles, but at least you'll burn off that fried shrimp platter. Bring comfy shoes and your wildest beach hat. Also maybe a life coach, just in case you have an existential crisis trying to pick between the fudge shop and the taco stand.
