About Manatees: The Last Generation?

See the sea cows, up close and personal, while viewing educational exhibits detailing their struggle to live in native coastal waterways now riddled with speeding boats and wave runners. -- Last edited by John Hemphill

what appears to be an average marine animal exhibit is actually an eye opening, worthwhile experience. whenever i go, i never miss it. - liz corso

My favourite animal is the Manatee, so every time we go here I must see this. Its nice watching the Manatees in the underground tunnel thing. You learn quite alot about them too, but that's optional. You can read the signs or watch from a selection of videos. - Lorna Britten

I give it a solid 7/10. A nice informative exhibit watching beautiful animals. It's a nice breather if you get overwhelmed at the parks. I reccommend taking a few minutes out of your day to see this. - Danny Melillo

Apart from the very obvious joy of seeing these gentle giants making a complete nonsense of their immense bulk as they glide effortlessly through the water snaffling up cabbages there's a true therapeutic effect too. It's a fantastic way to slow your pace and chill out and realise that the World doesn't have to be lived at 100 mph to be fun. A humbling experience.We could learn a lot from the Manatees. - Rob P

One of my favorite exhibits at Sea World. It features the gentle manatees and information on the manatees environment and the dangers they face in their habitat. There is also a room with projections and is a good place to lay down and rest for awhile. A very well done exhibit that is a good place to watch animals and stay out of the sun for a while. This exhibit doesn't really get full except after the conclusion of the nearby Blue Horizons show. - Manny Barron

No longer called this title...just called "Manatees". The projection room still stands but does not play the show it once did at all times, it operates only on busy days. These creatures are great and they are work a look in this attraction. - Wilfredo Alvelo

It's cool to look at these huge manatees with moustaches, haha, it's always fun to see them. - Nick Dakuginow
