The park is divided in four zones over 1.7 hectares: 'Antilla' with the delfinarium, 'La Hondonada' with its exotic birds from South America, 'Amazonia' to discover the fauna and vegetation of the tropical jungle, and 'La Isla de Hielo' which reproduces the natural habitat of penguins. There is also a play area for smaller children. If you would like to experience the dolphins close up, try SPLASH, their new attraction where you can get into the water with the dolphins to play games and learn tricks.

Son's evaluation: Grade:

Daughter's evaluation: I liked the dolphin and seal shows. the food was not tasty. The souvenir shop was fun. (June 2008) Grade: 8

Mom's evaluation: This is a scaled down version of Sea World. You can easily see the whole park and its shows in 3 hours. I like the fact that it is small as little ones can get tired easily, especially on a hot day. The fact that the park revolves around water makes it a refreshing place to visit in summer. Don't forget to bring plenty of sunscreen. Even though there are shady parts to watch the shows, you still are quite exposed to the elements. There is also an opportunity to swim with the sea lions, but you'll have to book this in advance. (June 2008) Grade: 9
