Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park Reviews

When looking for a vendor, it never crossed my mind to choose an aquarium, but it was the BEST choice I have ever made! The staff are WONDERFUL they absolutely made our wedding complete and were SO friendly. I felt welcome and I felt heard. They have a decorating team that made our reception look GORGEOUS. Not to mention for your ceremony you can have it facing the beach, which was a BIG hit! Their aquarium wall brought sooo much attention in our wedding, our guests loved it and still talk about it today! It is worth taking a tour and seeing what they are all about! It was affordable and so worth it. Not to mention getting pictures with dolphins!! So much fun!

You wouldn’t think of getting married at an aquarium but we did it and literally couldn’t of picked a better venue!!! The whole staff was amazing to work with their and was able to help us when needed. Ashley, our coordinator, was a blessing to have as well. The attractions are so special to have by you as your getting married and the guests loved it as well!! 15/10 I recommend it, our experience couldn’t have gone any better for us. Also, they have penguins at their venue for wedding. Who can say no to penguins!!!

The best decision we made when planning our wedding was booking Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park as my venue! We had an indoor ceremony and reception with the outdoor time for my guests to enjoy. Our guests enjoyed the great exhibit Gulfarium has to offer! The fun atmosphere made our wedding unique! We also loved our penguin ring bearer! Our guests thought it was the cutiest and coolest surprise! I would recommend booking Gulfarium 100%!! Communication with the staff before, during, and after the wedding was amazing!

Hello, we had our daughters wedding reception there on June 26th, and it was amazing! Everyone had a fantastic time, and the extra cost of allowing our guests to view the animals was worth it!. The reception room was absolutely beautiful with the aquarium right there, and the dolphins greeting people through the windows of the center tank. Thank you Aimee and staff for making our special event so memorable, we couldn't be more pleased!

We had a rehearsal dinner there and what an amazing venue! The staff was awesome did everything we asked and more, extremely helpful and patient. If you’re looking for a unique venue this is the place to go. Where can you have the whole park to yourself what an awesome day!

This venue was the best I could ever have picked! The venue is amazing and you don't really need any decorations because the aquariums are the decorations. I am so blessed to have been able to have my wedding here! Plus, Ashley from events was so amazing and helpful and I was not stressed for my wedding! Everyone handled things perfectly and I did not have to stress. Thank you to the gulfarium and your beautiful venue!

I can’t give the gulfarium enough stars. They were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Ashley helped me come up with linen colors, layouts, timeline and MUCH MUCH MORE and she was super accommodating! The venue is beautiful and every staff member was so nice. It’s an amazing price for everything that you get! I had my ceremony and my reception here! It was a steal! They set up everything so beautiful and I really can’t thank them enough! They have everything you need and more for an Amazing and unique wedding!

Our event was planned about a year out and every so often the team would email to male sure everything was on track. The park was clean and everything was amazing, staff was friendly and seemed very excited to be hosting. The dolphin show was great and just what we wanted

My wife and myself were both trying to find a unique venue for our rehearsal dinner and had somewhat joked about having it at the Gulfarium. When we inquired about their pricing, we were shocked. The Gulfarium was much more affordable than we expected and definitely had the WOW factor we were looking to achieve! Our point of contact, Krista, was a pleasure to work with. Both herself and her staff worked with us around the clock and helped with set-up/tear-down for our event. They recently remodeled their event room and I must say it is very nice. Our guests loved it, especially the kids. In the end, our rehearsal turned out wonderful and we managed to save a couple bucks in the process! Good job Krista and the rest of the staff at the Gulfarium!

We used the Gulfarium for our wedding reception in May 2021 and absolutely loved it! The staff at the Gulfarium were super helpful and professional and helped us to host a really great event for our guests. The pricing for a wedding/reception is very reasonable (especially in this area) considering that they run set up and break down and that you can add on park time and encounters. We were able to book the outdoor park area for a cocktail hour and the Gulfarium worked with our timeline to deliver a unique dolphin show and pictures! Our guests had a blast and we did too! The actual reception took place in the Living Sea Aquarium space and it was SO COOL to have an aquarium as a back drop to the dance floor! The Gulfarium staff was awesome through set up and break down and they were all kind and courteous. This is an awesome venue for an event!

It was beautiful. My guests were all caught up in the magic of my reception. They loved exploring the park, the service was amazing, and they helped set up, clean up, and were so wonderful to work with.
