The Miami Seaquarium is a world class oceanarium located on the island of Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay. It is one of the premier tourist attractions in the county of Miami Dade in South Florida. The Miami Seaquarium is the oldest oceanarium in the US and it houses a wide range of marine mammals.

On average, it receives around 500,000 visitors every year. 

The chief attraction of the Marine Seaquarium is Lolita, the oldest captive orca in the world. In fact, she is the only orca in the park. It arrived in the park in 1970 and has been a proud member of this park since then. Apart from viewing Lolita, the tourists can also enjoy the eight marine animal shows. Guests will fall in love with the bottlenose dolphins and enjoy the adventures of Salty the Sea Lion. The kids will love the stingray touch pool and the crocodile exhibit. There are dolphin interaction programs which allow the visitors to come close with these wonderful creatures. If you are adventurous enough then you can take an underwater walk among the tropical fishes during the Sea Trek Reef Encounter.

The adult tickets are priced at  around $41.95 and children aged 3 to 9 years need to pay an admission fee of $31.95 (check prices with the attraction before you go).
