The Gulfarium is a marine adventure park in located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The facility, which opened in 1955, has a long history of delighting guests with unique animal experiences. If you've ever wanted to meet a dolphin, sea lion, or stingray, the Gulfarium is the perfect place to do so!
The Gulfarium offers a seemingly endless array of animal encounters for individuals of all ages. In some of their more unique encounters, you can pet young alligators, paint with dolphins, or feed penguins! What is especially cool about the Gulfarium is that they have an emphasis on education and conservation, so while you get to have fun during their marine encounters, you will also learn a lot about marine animals and get inspired to help with conservation efforts.
If you visit the Gulfarium this month (October 2020), you can participate in one of their themed events. Croctoberfest will run October 17th and 18th. It will be a celebration of all things crocodile and alligator and will feature a variety of fun, reptile-themed activities. On October 31st, the Gulfarium will host Splash or Treat.
