4 stars for a great indoor activity to beat the summer heat in Orlando! This was our first time…read morevisiting Sea Life (located at ICON Park) and our 2-year old had a blast. He loved running around and looking through all the different tanks full of fish. It's a pretty small aquarium and tickets are relatively inexpensive at $15 pp. You can also buy a ticket bundle and combine it with the Madame Tussauds wax museum next door. We didn't do that this time but not a bad deal if you want to see both. This is definitely a tourist attraction, being located on I-Drive, but we still enjoyed it. We went through it in about 45 minutes, but you could go at a slower pace if you're not chasing a toddler. Even with the size, there's still a lot to see and a wide variety of fish and sea life: sharks, turtles, axolotl, starfish, stingrays, seahorses, jellyfish, moray eel, and more. There's also a touch tank at the end if you want to participate. It also wasn't too crowded and was easy to navigate.

They had some interesting fish and water animals. The docents who were trying to educate people had an uphill battle with the younger kids. Overall, I've been to some bigger aquaria with more to offer but I enjoyed it.

We had such a fun day at SeaWorld! When you spend so much time on the road and around the semi,…read moreit's really nice to have a day where you can park the truck, get out and do something completely different. My favorite part was definitely the penguin exhibit. I could have stayed there forever -- it was such a cool experience and easily one of the highlights of the day for me. Phillip's favorite part was pretty much all of the rides, plus the alligators. We loved how much variety there is throughout the park between the animals, exhibits, rides and different areas to explore. It made for such a fun break from our normal routine and gave us a chance to actually enjoy the area instead of just passing through it. Definitely worth setting aside a full day for if you're visiting. We had a great time and would absolutely go back.

I was a little bummed that the shark show was canceled b/c of thunderstorms, since I was really looking forward to seeing it. @ least I went to the dolphin show 2x. I sat in the wet zone & hardly got wet which was disappointing. My fave part had to be the dolphins. I stood @ the dolphin viewing area and watched them for almost an entire hour. They were absolutely beautiful, & I could have stayed there watching them forever. Seeing them swim around & interact was such a peaceful and beautiful moment. I had such a gr8 time @ SeaWorld & would def come back again. Hopefully next time I'll get to see the shark show!

It is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and feels like a tropical escape right in Orlando. Everything is so well-maintained, and the atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for a full day of enjoying the water and beautiful surroundings. The food was okay--nothing that really stood out to me--but with so much included in the experience, that wasn't the main reason I came. The opportunity to swim, relax, explore, and enjoy such a gorgeous setting made the day really special. It is an expensive experience, but if you're looking for something unique, relaxing, and memorable, I definitely think Discovery Cove is worth doing at least once!

It's sad as these animals have wounds from boats or fishing nets, etc. and are held within the rescue area to help in the healing process. Staff is available to answer questions about the animals should you have any. There's 2 large tanks in this area that, during our visit had a total of 3 manatees.

Entire store has a cool blue lighting throughout and they have the largest tanks I have ever seen in a store, with entire ecosystems holding thousands of gallon of water. The place is kept immaculate and everyone working there is very knowledgeable and professional. Someone told me about them from their large YouTube following, so they are clearly helpful and basically famous.

I arrived, they looked at me like I was an idiot, and handed me a bag of coral that completely didn't match my order. I got home, not only did they take all my money, I purchased a fish, and some other misc goods while I was there, all failed or died. The Zoa's the "promise" are living are half alive and NEVER "come out" and end up passing. The fish I bought had a large infected eye or wound on his body, which I couldn't see in their tank (citron Goby). They promised a "refund" would be issued, but I've yet to see anything. They wanted pictures of damaged coral. It's not damaged, it's just frail and half dead...from the store. They also offer NO military discount, and mocked me for asking. Military Vets and all Americans stay away this place sucks. They also haven't refunded a cent. For this items I've paid for and never received.

This was my very first time visiting Icon Park, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised…read more The first thing I appreciated was the parking. They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy. I was actually on my way to a restaurant, so exploring the park wasn't part of the plan. But once I walked inside, I couldn't help but look around. There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back. It was filled with excitement for both children and adults, and I'm looking forward to exploring it even more on my next visit.

Overall, I think this is a great place to check out if you are in Orlando…read more We came here because we have Legoland gold passes which means we get free admission to sea life, Madame Tussaud's, and the Orlando Eye. All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.
