Miami Seaquarium

Since we had the special season pass we picked the Miami Seaquarium to visit, only because since it's by the water it will be less hot than the Metro Zoo which is well inland.

It was a good visit, the weather wasn't bad, overcast most of the day so it wasn't unbearably hot and the shows are quite good. The Dolphin shows in particular are very good.

Top Deck Dolphin Show

Our favorite show was the Top Deck Dolphin Show right in the middle of the park. There they had three Dolphins do neat tricks but the best part is that there isn't a bad seat in the house and you can get quite close to the animals.

Flipper Dolphin Show

Another great show was the Flipper Dolphin Show. One claim to fame about this place is this is where the original Flipper TV how was filmed so they had this other great show. The tricks were neat but it was a huge auditorim and the views weren't as cool. Highlight for us was getting our family photo taken with a Dolphin.

Golden Dome Sea Lion Show

The final show we watched was a Sea Lion show. This one was more slapstick humor which appealed to the kids, and make the adults groan, but still fun.
