Unique place with a nature touch, great for family and friends, very clean and organized and they spray the whole park to follow covid19 protocols. Highly satisfied with this park

It's like the Sea World of San Antonio but much smaller. The shows last no more than 20 minutes, which is good and there are not so many people (we went in January). The farm where you can feed the animals and the safari are the best. At least for me I already saw several dolphin and whale shows.

Wonderful place. Amazing shows with dolphins, sea lions and multiple animals to create conscious on people about taking care animals.

I would leave zero stars if google would let you. Keeping Orcas/dolphins in captivity under the guise of being an educational facility is absolutely wrong. I BEG each and every one of you to do some research first to learn how these orcas are captured from the wild, stolen away from their family and placed in small tanks. They usually live prey but are forced into starvation to learn to accept dead fish. These extremely intelligent, social, sentient, empathetic beings stay with their family for YEARS and some forever - In captivity they are force bred much before their time and their young are taken away from them either to perform or to sell to other facilities. The way they are hydrated is an issue as well - in the wild they get their hydration from the live prey they eat, since they can't drink water like you or I - in captivity they have to have a tube shoved down their throat to their stomach and water is fresh water is poured in. Between the stress of food, loss of family, having to perform numerous shows a day, tank mate aggression - these beautiful mammals are DRUGGED with so many medications from valium to stomach meds which is hidden in their food to keep them complacent enough to perform. Please do research on your own - follow Dolphin Project, Sea Shepherd, Whale Sanctuary - and learn about the truth of captivity. These facilities lie to you because they have to in order to continue making money.

What a horrible place!! This place should be shut down forever ! They keep a poor orca in the smallest tank in the world to perform for families and students, ans use its sperm to breed captured female orcas in an endless circle of cruelty. This orca has a name and a tragic story that everyone should know - In 1992, Buenos Aires aquarium Mundo Marino obtained a new orca named Kshamenk, who they claimed to have rescued after he stranded on the Argentinian coast. It later became apparent that the stranding was not accidental; instead, Kshamenk and four other young whales were forced to beach themselves after professional whale herders used nets to prevent them from reaching open water at low tide. One whale was released, one died en route to the aquarium, and one died shortly after arrival as a result of slamming himself repeatedly against the tank walls. Kshamenk was the sole survivor. Kshamenk has been at Mundo Marino ever since. For the first eight years of his captivity he had company, a female orca called Belen. The two whales conceived a calf in 1998, which was stillborn. The tragedy was compounded in 2000, when Belen died in the fourth month of her second pregnancy. Kshamenk now lives alone in a tank so small that he can complete as many as 500 rotations of his living quarters in a single hour. Mundo Marino has tried several times to obtain a permit to sell Kshamenk to SeaWorld USA, all of which have so far been unsuccessful. SeaWorld is still using Kshamenk to forward their own interests, however, as they are currently using his sperm in their artificial insemination program. He should be in a rehabilitation program to free him back into the nature. Not to sell him to another marine park. Shame on you Mundo Marino !!!!!

Marvelous shows for the whole family. Clean and well maintained. Clever way of sharing about environmental responsibility.
