No Parking

Matthew_D, Apr 2026
No parking! Horrible. All the tours take up the parking lot. They won’t move.just not worth it. Stay away from here

Underwater aquarium

Zoltan_K, Mar 2026
Cool place to visit. Sharks, turtles, dolphins, sea lions, birds and a lot more. Very informative. Friendly crew. Great way to spend a couple of hours. You also get access to Coki beach all day.

Wonderful and...

Pamela_A, Feb 2026
Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Learned much about Caribbean Sea Life. Next to Coki Beach. Loved the sea lion!

Great value

Kendra_A, Feb 2026
The park is not very big, but there is lots to see even with the basic entry fee. The timing of the talks and feedings are spaced 30 minutes apart so it is very easy to see all of the areas by following that schedule. We were there approx. 2 hours and saw all of the presentations except the sharks and dolphins. We were able to still see the dolphins from a distance while the trainers were practicing with them, so we saw some tricks. The sea lion talk was amazing! We were in a small room about 5 feet away from the sea lion and his tricks. Coki Beach is a short walk away which has food and other vendors.

family at coral world

we had a great time exploring Coral World. We ended up purchasing tickets for the dolphin experience and it was great!! The kids really enjoyed it!!

Not Worth the Price – Disappointing Experience

Marta_M, Jul 2025
We were a group of five and paid a significant amount for tickets, expecting a decent visit. Unfortunately, the entire experience lasted barely 10 minutes. You can walk through the whole aquarium that quickly — that’s how small and underwhelming it is. Many of the tanks were either empty, under construction, or poorly maintained. The reef section, in particular, looked neglected, and some areas even smelled musty. For the price they charge, this place does not deliver value or quality. Definitely not worth it unless they make serious improvements.

Cute

David_M, May 2025
Park was under construction when we visited. We had booked a swim with the dolphins. Got there early to see the park. Price is high for admission but that’s all over the island. Bar was good they also have food. Recommend the Sharkbite.

Best Park Visit on a Budget

Dorothy_M, May 2025
This was a hidden gem at a VERY LOW PRICE! While we THOUGHT this excursion would be just a couple hours, 4 hours max, we were pleasantly surprised at how much there is to see, experience, and learn about!!! The planned presentations are appropriately scheduled, and the length of each is perfect. Wandering to explore is a welcome freedom. We ended up staying from opening to close, and then headed to Coki Beach. This experience is one well worth the steal!

Fun for the whole family!

Amanda_L, Sep 2024
Seeing the beauty of ocean life up close was amazing! Between the feedings and viewing of the ani.als up close, it was very educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

A must see attraction on St Thomas

Vernon_P, Jul 2024
The staff exemplified friendliness and kindness. The exhibits are well presented. An exciting family day at Coral World.

Kids really enjoyed this place.

RebeccaPayne_R, May 2024
Our kids enjoyed the exhibit's. There are several buildings that have air conditioner which is nice on a hot day.

Loved

Precious_K, Mar 2024
So much fun so many activities and fun things to do, bird feeding was great my kids loved that part, food in park was good and fast made, love the activities and touch pool for the kids

Sea trek slow time

Michelle_H, Mar 2024
If you can snorkel I would recommend the dolphin encounter vs the sea trek. Guides are great but it’s more standing for photos under water

Great

Gina_L, Aug 2023
Rosie the sea lion and turtle feeding time were a highlight ! Such fun. Park is easy to navigate as well

Loved the clear waters,...

Rachel_C, Jul 2023
Loved the clear waters, the viewing areas and the ability to view everything at or own pace. Great care is taken to help the ocean environment and its contents. The turtles and the fish in the reef areas were fabulous.

See ocean life without getting wet!

Carla_L, Jun 2023
My favorite were the aquariums. Dolphins, sharks, stingrays, turtles iguanas trail and parrots. It was better than snorkeling!!

Juana_C, Mar 2023
Park attendant was rude n yelling at us like. Not a pleasant person. I didn't get her name but she was African very light skin.

Amazing experience

Alexandra_T, Nov 2022
It was an amazing experience, it feels fine when you start going in the water. have to move slowly in the water. I thought was going to be hard to breathe but it was not uncomfortable. I will do it again!!

Very disappointed . There...

MOHAMMAD_K, Nov 2022
Very disappointed . There is hardly anything to see . The underwater observatory is very basic , just few fishes. You will finish the whole thing in 10 mins max

Viator is not customer friendly, booked me for a bad time, and then failed to make it right through a refund.

Stephen_D, Sep 2022
Awful! They let me book a tour at coral world in St. Thomas for 4pm. The place closes at 3pm. No way I was suppose to know this. Then on top of that they would not refund me my money. And lied and said it was the establishment not them but it was them (viator) smh. I’ll NEVER book with viator again and I suggest you don’t either.

A great experience

Samantha_H, Jul 2022
Going to see the sea lion and birds. The sea lion followed commands like waving, standing up on legs, and clapping. We bought nectar cups for the birds to fly to us to eat it from our arms.

Not worth what they charge

Paloma_C, Jun 2022
First things first, we were not allowed to bring our phones to take our own pictures. Also you are not allowed to kiss the dolphin or hug the dolphin like it’s advertised. Just light petting. At the end of the experience, they charge you $40 for pictures of you however, you are turned around in all the pictures so it’s not worth it. I was placed with a group that had to leave early, therefore my own individual , personal experience was rushed and cut short. I complained to management and was only refunded 40%. I feel like I should’ve been refunded the whole amount because the whole experience was supposed to be around 45 minutes and I only got 20 minutes, didn’t get to kiss or hug the dolphin, and the pictures they took were not a good quality.

A must see

Jennifer_R, May 2022
Amazing to see the islands wild life so free and happy🥰. I thought the animals would be aggressive but NO they were friendly and worry free.

Great relaxing day.

Carole_A, Apr 2022
Sharing that with family. Loved Sunny, the dolphin. Turtles were amazing. Macaws 🦜 we’re beautiful. Iguanas we’re funny & a bit scary. The gift shop mailed post cards for us.

definetely worth goiing

Chen, Apr 2022
There is a lot to see here. They have all kind of feeding/talks for shark, turtle, dolphin, ray, sea lion, coral and fish. And you get to see all of those animals very close. Most of the animals were rescued or part of their head start program. Cool aquarium

Too expensive and poor...

Melvin_M, Apr 2022
Too expensive and poor quality and facilities, service in general most parts are closed and nobody tell you. The beach next to the park are better than the park. Don’t waste your money

Gretchen_M, Mar 2022
We loved this mini Aquarium. We listen to to the dolphin talk and the turtle talk and it was wonderful to see all of the animals. The biggest highlight was swimming with the sea lions which was truly amazing once in a lifetime opportunity. Heading down to coki beach afterwards was beautiful and the kids had their first opportunity to snorkel.

Great experience for the family

John_K, Dec 2021
Excellent general administration exhibits provide an up close experience, with knowledgeable staff to answer any related questions.

Beautiful sights above and below sea!

CHawthorne, Aug 2021
We spent a lovely afternoon at Coral World enjoying the sea, breezes and creatures! We chose to book on Viator for Skip the Line admission and when we arrived we did just that...skipped the line, grabbed a parking pass then headed in for a look and walk. They have gorgeous views above water to nearby islands and beautiful fish to view below...it's like snorkeling without getting wet!

Underwhelmed

Aaron_R, Jun 2021
Many of the displays were closed or in poor condition. Many animals not even indigenous. Sad turtles. Guess we thought we would see more.
