37 Best Stops Between New Orleans and Navarre (2025)

Wow! I learned so much in such a short visit. Royce was a great guide and made us feel comfortable enough to handle the gators. If you can, visit in August for a chance to help hatch a baby alligator!!

It was an experience! The staff is knowledgeable and it was entertaining and educational. We had a great time holding and touching the alligators. It would have been more enjoyable if we had the option to have a private tour but I can understand time constraints etc. I just wish the catch pool experience had been a little more involved 🐊🤩 but for the price and experience it is well worth a visit!!

Enjoyed our visit here! It's mostly educational - information about alligators. Then you're taken to an area where there are plenty of gators on each side. They give you a handful of marshmallows to feed them as you walk through. Holding a gator for a picture costs extra and I think you can catch a gator for another charge. We didn't stay for that. It was a pleasant tour, but not something I'd do over and over.

This place is a great experience for those of all ages. I learned so many interesting facts about alligators that I didn’t previously know. The facility was amazing and the staff was absolutely incredible. I have been a few times since I live lose by but I recently went there with my daughter and she loved it. She especially loved the hands on experience.

Educational and Fun! Learn, touch and hold some gators. The team was great our educator was hilarious and knowledgeable. I love coming here every few years to see the newest. Thanks guys.

10 out of 10 would recommend. Paying a little extra to catch the baby alligators was worth it. Staff are knowledgeable and very patient with tiny humans. The facility was both safe and clean.

Our Host was really knowledgeable and had a great personality to keep the tour interesting. I loved the hands on portion and getting to know ow some history and facts about these amazing creatures! Very family friendly outing.

We had a fantastic time at the ranch. The kids had a memorable time petting and catching baby gators. Definitely recommend this to anyone and their family. Fun and educational!

What a pleasant surprise...this Louisiana attraction was such a hit with not only my kiddos, but the whole family! Actually, I booked for the wrong date, but the staff was super accommodating! Royce has such a breadth of knowledge of the American alligator and crocodilians in general. We we often found ourselves in stitches during his tour and learned TON too! We handled, fed and learned all about the species. Totally worth the drive! Highly recommend for young and old alike!

Really a good experience with my family. My two kids (3 and 4) loved feeding and holding the animals. The staff was kind and likable and very informative.

Had the best time bringing my 8 year old and her friend. Tour guide was hilarious. It’s very fun, educational, and laid-back. All three guys upfront were really nice. We had an hour before the next tour began and they gave us a soccer ball and frisbee to keep the girls entertained while we waited.

We were looking for an alternative to a swamp tour which we had already done and our three year old just wanted to hold gators. Bought the whole package. Excellent. Highly recommend. We had lots of time and opportunity to hold baby gators.

We had a great experience at the Insta-Gator Ranch and Hatchery! The tour guide was fun and full of great knowledge. It’s very inexpensive and definitely worth the extra $10 to get to catch a gator for yourself!!

Definitely a must see tour for the kids. Very fun and interactive. My son enjoyed interacting with the baby alligators in the catch pool. Tour guide, Alex, very friendly and informative. Will definitely be returning.

Our tour guide was awesome and always on top of his pun game! Lots of fun for everyone including the kids. Lots of information, trivia, jokes, and of course the best part - alligator petting! We did the basic tour plus the photo op and also alligator catching for the kids and one adult for supervision so the other one could take pictures of the event. We ended up upgrading our tour tickets from that day to an annual pass so we could visit a few more times this year. All of us including the kids really enjoyed the entire experience and can't wait to go back! Thank you so much to our tour guide! I'm sorry we forgot your name in all the alligator excitement 😅 but we really enjoyed the experience! Hope you enjoy the pictures we took!

Best experience ever!! We simply loved it! It was our first time petting gators. We learned a lot in this tour and the tour guides were very kind to answer all our questions. The best part was playing with the gators in the pool. One the coolest things we’ve ever done!

Fun experience and good tour guide. Definitely spring for the baby gator catch

We had a fantastic and very informative experience! It was entertaining and my 3 kids loved learning all about the American alligator. Definitely recommend and well worth the drive.

Super cute family owned facility. I’m pregnant and they were very accommodating. Took my MIL and children and they had a blast! Will definitely be a regular place we take visitors!

The people that work there, and the person giving the "tour", were great. But the experience is disappointing. For as far out of town (it's a drive) it is, it's not worth it in our opinion. Much more of them talking and teaching about gators and why they do what they do. Really drove home the point that it's the greatest wildlife preservation there is. You get to see very small ones and then much larger ones in their "farmed" setting which is really just a big dome like warehouse like that they all live in. You get a few marshmallows to throw at them. Not exciting. Then more talking and then bringing out a bigger gator (still small) for everyone to touch but his mouth was taped shut and it was just sad. We did pay for a picture with one that you hold independently of the guide but also, underwhelming. Was the least favorite thing we did during our week in New Orleans. And we did everything.

We had an awesome time with our kiddos! Friendly staff, and very knowledgeable speaker. We got the baby gator pool and picture add ons, lots of opportunities for other pictures as well as to touch gators. Learned a good bit, definitely recommend!

A must stop if in abita or surrounding areas. Staff is super helpful and loads of info. Amd the gator pond touch and feel was great.Will always swing in when we are around.

Great tour to learn about alligator's Life, see them, cuddle them. We had a great guide!

Came Here With My Daughter On A Field Trip. The Gator Handlers Are Very Knowledgeable And Not Boring. They Made The Kids Experience Very Enjoyable. We Even Got A Chance To Meet Bob.., The Tailess Alligator. I'll Bring The Whole Family Next Time.

Wow, I've had the pleasure of working with Insta-gator ranch for 11 years to hire their amazing alligator handlers for special events but getting a chance to finally visit the ranch and hatchery was an entirely different experience! Meeting the wonderful Stephanie at check in while perusing the gift shop was a lovely start to the tour. From enjoying Royce's humorous but educational tour through the incredible conservation efforts for alligators throughout Louisiana (alligator population has grown from 150k to 3.5 million in 40 years is an impressive feat for protecting nature!) To feeding and handling a plethora of swamp puppies with Matt and posing for photos with Alex, this experience was magical from start to finish, even for this born and raised NOLA girl!Please support this wonderful establishment and enjoy a great tour with your family or friends, and enjoy your chance to wrangle a gator or two! 🐊🐊

Nit only was this a fun event for all ages but the price is fantastic. It was equally entertaining and informative. The gentleman that lead the tour was funny and made the entire experience. A must for visiting Louisiana.

Love this place! The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We paid extra to catch the smaller 🐊. It was amazing! I highly recommend this establishment. Best part of our vacation by far! Can't wait to come back to hatch a baby gator next year!

I brought my daughter for her birthday. We had a great time. There were so many things I didn't know about alligators. it was so interesting. The staff was so much fun. I would definitely go again. Take the 1130 tour so you have time to go eat in Abita after.

74645 Allen Rd, Covington, LA 70435, USA

This was such a great way to start our time in New Orleans! Jess, the owner and our guide was super kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable. My wife and I were thrilled to find a tour that was locally run and committed to conservation rather than focused on feeding alligators. The cypress swamp is so beautiful and unlike any other landscape and it was absolutely filled with all kinds of animals. Jess was knowledgeable about each organism and shared her expertise in an engaging way. It’s clear she has a great passion for wildlife and the community and is a local expert in the field.We booked the trip a little last minute and Jess was still able to pick us up and drop us off from our downtown hotel for a reasonable fee which we really appreciated (about a 40 minute drive each way). She was a responsible driver and shared lots of her local knowledge and her own stories along the way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the real deal of the local swamps. Thank you!

Highly recommend this tour if you want to have a most excellent adventure in the Honey Island Swamp region of Louisiana. Jessica was very knowledgeable and absolutely entertaining. Loved her enthusiasm about birding - huge plus for us as avid bird lovers ourselves! She also gave us tips on maneuvering our kayaks in and around the swampy Pearl River area. We had so much fun and made a beautiful memory with my dear friend from Missouri!Thank you Jessica!!

Jessica is an amazing host and guide - I had the time of my life. She is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable and supportive of every experience level. Safety is top priority to her and she also does a lot of conservation work, dating cypress trees and cleans up the bayou. All-around impressive.She shared so many really interesting facts about the local flora, fauna and wildlife. I’m a native Louisianian and she taught me so many things I didn’t know! I’m so thankful for this experience - I can’t recommend her tour enough.

There can be only one! Jess was phenomenal! My wife and 5 kids (ages 12 through 18) contacted Jess about a night kayak. She is happy to customize a trip for you, and the night paddle is spectular. We left during the day (we left 3pm), paddled through an incredible cypress forest (water was low when we went last night exposing more of the trees and roots whick was even better). We then went winding through the swamp to a medium sized lake where we saw some houseboats as the sun completed going down and we paddled back in the dark (what a way to take out distractions and connect with the swamp, almost spiritual) with just some dim red headlamps to light the way, arriving back around 6pm. Mike, Jess's partner, was in the back to ensure nobody gets lost.Jess is almost a cypress tree herself...growing up on a houseboat in the swamps, boating since she was 5 years old, she knows the area almost to the extent she could boat it blindfolded. She is full of local knowledge delivered in a humble fashion not making anything up but fact based (ask about the tree with the hive on top struck by lightning!). She has partnered with ecologists such as coring the oldest cyprus (over 400yrs old!).Jess knows customer service and really made the experience smooth as silk. Life jackets, dry bags, headlamps, brining you in/out of the water so you stay dry...she will take care of you from the beginning to the end. Both tandem and single kayaks are similarly fun.The kayaks are incredibly stable, you'd have to really try of you want to tip over. Apparantely the alligators are afraid of people so you can even swim in the water! We went in late December, so the gators were hybernating and we didn't see any, but on the other hand the weater was fantastic and there were no bugs...a worthwhile tradeoff. In theory though, if you go during gator season and happen to be fortunate, your headlamps can turn gator eyes silver for an chillling experience (but surprisingly safe).This was the highlight of our trip, I can't recommend it enough. Water levels, season, and other factors I am sure will give everyone a different experience. But that's outside your control--what is in your control is getting the VERY best guide to take care of you and your family...this is the clear choice....contact Jess and hope she has availability.

We had an amazing afternoon with Jessica and Mike paddling around the beautiful waterways just outside New Orleans. Great communication and genuinely wonderful people. Jessica is very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora and history of the area and created a warm atmosphere where 8 strangers felt like a group of friends exploring the bayou. They were also very flexible and created a new tour for us to work with our schedule. Highly recommend.

Jessica was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and answered all of our questions. It was clear how much she loved Honey Island and her passion for the ecosystem shown through. We wanted an ethical tour that was not feeding alligators marshmallows and whatnot. This cypress swamp was wonderful and beautiful and well worth the drive from New Orleans. Just a note, there is no bathroom onsite besides the facili”trees” so if that’s not for you perhaps stop at the gas station prior.

Fantastic tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and super helpful. She even got out of her kayak into the swamp to get us unstuck from a cypress knee 🤣She found a cute baby soft shelled turtle to show us! And pointed out a rare orchid.I highly recommend this tour if you want some great information about the swap ecosystem. No feeding marshmallows to racoons!!

Fantastic tour! Jessica is so knowledgeable and created a fun and relaxed environment for everyone. Both Jessica and Mike are passionate about what they do and it's great to spend time amongst the Cypress. Logistics were clear and easy, perfect for beginners or experienced kayakers alike, great activity for all!

Amazing tour! Worth every cent. Jessica was so knowledgeable, kind and charming and we enjoyed every moment of the beautiful kayak tour. The kayaking was easy - very stable boats and quiet and still waters.We had Jessica all to ourselves (three people) and her husband helped us get into the water and back on land. Amazing value for money.Thank you Jessica!

Highly recommend, we had a wonderful time! This was a very unique way to experience a swamp, and it was really cool to paddle up close to all the exposed tree roots and knobs (we were there during low waters in early Oct). Jess was very communicative both before and during the tour. It was just the two of us that day and we had a great time talking with Jess, who is very friendly. It felt like the best of both worlds of getting a eco-tour from a knowledgeable guide and also hanging out and getting to know someone. It's clear that Jess loves nature, and she really loves sharing the swamp with others - thank you Jess!

Me and my dad went on the tour in the morning and had an absolute blast. The swamp is very serene and not only that but Jessica is very knowledgeable about Honey Island. I’d recommend this anyone who likes the outdoors

The best tour I’ve ever taken, by far. Jessica, and her family were so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and safety oriented. I learned so much about the this pocket of swamp. Jessica knows her stuff, genuinely loves what she does and goes the extra mile to ensure it’s a great experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Loved it! Jessica is a terrific tour guide - knowledgeable and fun to talk to. And the Pearl River is an absolute gem. A cypress and tupelo swamp like right out of the opening scene from the Muppet Movie - I never thought I’d get to experience this delicate ecosystem. Just a gorgeous day.

3 Guides, 4 Guests, Rolls-Royce Service: We had the great good fortune to book the very first Honey Island Kayak Tours tour of the season. Veteran guide Nick was showing two other guides, River and Stephanie, the route paddling off the Pearl River and into a labyrinth of five convoluted waterways traversing the swamps. Nick is a friendly, low-key, extremely knowledgeable guide teaching us about the swamps foundation trees, the Tupolos and the Bald Cypress. He put us on look out for the various types of woodpeckers knocking their heads out above us, and dropped other nuggets of wisdom such as the oldest dated cypress is 3,600 years old, the largest in the area has a circumference of 56' and so forth. River and Stephanie added in all sorts of local lore. Stephanie taught my daughter how to turn the kayak on a dime from the front paddling position. It was an absolutely fabulous 2 hours and 20 minutes spend in the swamp. Great guides, comfortable kayaks, very reasonable price.

Incredible tour and hands down my favorite experience on this trip! We learned a lot, saw unbelievably gorgeous sights, and had such a peaceful, relaxing time. Jessica is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide - and as an extra-special bonus, her love for Honey Island Swamp shines through on the whole tour. Mike picked us up from our hotel in New Orleans and helped us get our kayaks out on the water. We had a great time chatting with him on the way there & back. Highly recommend this company for a swamp tour. You will have an amazing time!

A must go-and-see tour thats like a historic expedition in Louisiana! Jess, our tour guide, is a knowledable nature enthusiast who is not only a local to the area but a nature conservationist who is passionate about perserving the ecosystem. She devotes her time to her business and the livelihood of the swamp. Every year, Jess and the community will volunteer to clean the whole swamp area that threatens the wellbeing of the Cypress trees and wildlife. A tour guide with a heart of gold! If you are a nature lover or looking for a getaway educational tour, come check out this swamp kayak tour. You will not regret it.

Kayaking, nature therapy, exercise, education & history all-in-one...a great investment for both your time and money!Jesse grew up in this swamp & knows & loves it! She gives excellent preparation for kayaking, being in the swamp, and learning and seeing. She gives very clear instructions for safety, and you should pay attention. Like.."what where I tell you to, or you WILL slip in the mud!" She told us some of the things we would be seeing, so we could watch for them. She told us about some of her foraging and shared her Yaupon Holly tea that was sweetened with Dewberries... excellent!Jesse and Mike had the kayaks up on the bank and helped everyone to get in, then shoved us out into the water. An easy way to boardThey also watch the weather very closely. Some folks had come from Minnesota and planned their trip around this tour, so they had it even though there was rain threatened and we stayed up until it really was raining. There was no thunder or lightning, so it was safeSaw a rare yellow Swamp Canary and not so rare Rough Green snake. Jessie had all of us hold each other's kayaks while we sat in the swamp so that she could give us a lesson on the oldest cypress. It was 400 years old. She also taught us about the rise and fall of the water level in a swamp and how it stays healthy. I learned to have a lot more respect for swamps today! They have a lot to do with the equilibrium of the whole region around! Later, we floated around a 700 year old Cypress.We didn't see any Gators this time. We had to quit a bit early when it really started raining, but we did see the highlights of the Honey Island Swamp. Of course, there is an endless amount of history and activity and foliage and foraging in there...you could never come to the end of it.

If I could give a million stars I would. Jessica was so engaging in her tour. She has incredible knowledge of the ecosystem and is deeply engaged with its conservation. She is a great storyteller and has a wealth of information. You can't help but love the swamp after your tour. She and her partner, Mike, went above and beyond to share their little slice of paradise. Would go again in a heartbeat.

We had the best time on our tour!!! Jess was super knowledgeable and answered our many questions about the ecosystem. Pro-tip ask about the swamp monster! Would recommend to anyone looking for an informative and well paced kayak tour in the New Orleans area.

Gorgeous swamp with an informative tour guide and an eco-friendly tour methods. We did the 2.5 hour tour of the Honey Island Swamp, and it was easy kayaking, a completely different type of forest than I'm used to seeing, and learned lots about the local ecosystem from our tour guide, Jessica. Bird enthusiasts on our tour were excited about some rare birds we saw, and I enjoyed the 400 & 700 year old cypress trees. I appreciated that this tour didn't feed the wildlife, which as a biologist I've seen cause many problems for the wildlife and the tourists. I also appreciated that the tour was led by a local whose family has lived in the area for generations and is actively spearheading restoration efforts, reforesting, and river clean ups. Since we didn't have a car on our trip, it was so helpful to be able to be picked up in town! Would definitely recommend this tour over other swamp tour companies!

Our group was small, and our guide Jess was deeply knowledgeable about the ecology and issues of the area. Thrilling to paddle through the swamp to ancient cypress trees and see an osprey nest. The fish were jumping and the birds were overhead. Gorgeous day on the water.

This tour was incredible. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for an intimate, beautiful tour of swamps from someone who knows them inside and out.Jess went above and beyond, even coming back for us to help when our car got stuck in the mud later that day after the tour was well over. Talk about hospitality! If you're looking for a swamp tour that genuinely cares about the swamp ecosystem and isn't just interested in making money by feeding alligators, look no further!

Jess and Mike run a fabulous trip. We saw turtles, snakes, osprey, and herons. We learned some history and some random facts (floating soap works as catfish bait around here) and just generally enjoyed our trip around the swamp area.

Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a hotel. They compare countless booking web sites and normally will have rooms much cheaper than others! You're welcome :)! This hotel is one of the best in this area. I've been staying here for years. If you stay for a few days you definitely will love it I'm sure!The Crab Feast buffet is worth the price and the drive from Gretna! They even have a wide variety of "no sugar added" desserts that's delicious. Our hostess and waitress were awesome! I can't wait to go back.

This was my second stay at the park. I stayed this time to enjoy the casino. I was cheated out of my free buffet comp for first time sign ups. The lady at the players counter told me I had to earn 100 points in the first 48 hours to qualify. I did just that x10. When i went to kiosk it was not there. I came back two days later to see if it was on my account it was not. I explained it to the lady at the counter and she refused to do anything. I am a frequent gambler and only came back to this park to enjoy casino. Comps are an important part of a gamblers incentive to visit and return. To be cheated the very first visit out of a simple buffet voucher is crazy when I gambled/spent hundreds of dollars with you. The math does not add up on your end.

I haven't been to Silver Slipper casino in 4 years. The garage and the grounds were fifty. There is no non smoking area.The hotel was clean and we had a non- smoking room, but you had to go through the casino.The buffet was great and we came to eat 🦀 and shrimp 🍤. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. There is a pool which we didn't use. Most of the service personnel were friendly and helpful.

Kinds funny how bad review get left if people don't win. Casinos aren't built to give you moneyBUT this hotel is always nice, everyone is super friendly, it's very clean. Sign up for a player card and they give you free buffets and table play and free hotel stays every month. Beautiful pool and private beach. We love it here!

The buffet was pretty good, even though I wish we would've been able to bring the kids with us.... Overall, I'd say we had a pretty good time.

A little out of the way-but that's a good thing. Friendliest staff I have experienced at a casino hotel. From Security to cleaning staff to the poolside bartender, people seem to enjoy their job and they are friendly and helpful to a person. Infinity pool is right next to the beach. 21 and over property. Food is good at the buffet and at the little grill on the side. The blackened ribeye sandwich is amazing.

Although we did not get to stay due to an medical emergency with my husband.we have stayed before and always loved it. I want to say that the staff,security ,the staff in the buffet are all so awesome. I don't know what I would have done without them all. We do plan to return later this year when he is better. I thank them all and God Bless them for really stepping up and being so great. My hubby says they are the best ☺️

Lovely casino I'm not a huge gambler but I actually won something and it was fun! The buffet is great. The RV park has a beautiful atmosphere and view. Very quiet, friendly people. It seems to be family that lives here. Which is lovely for the family that's a part of it.

My friend and I visits the silver slippers occasionally to enjoy the buffet. This time we went the 4th of July and was enjoying until a lady walked in with a large dog and took the dog from station to station as she got her food. Whether it’s a service dog or dog period it should not be allowed in a buffet . Everyone should not be exposed to this while trying to enjoy a meal . It instantly made me nauseous knowing she was petting her dog then went touched the utensils on the buffet.

It's confusing when arriving. Not clearly marked where to drive in order to park. Only Valet parking. Casino, nice, a lot of smoke throughout the casino. Had a lot of slot machines but not real loose. Played $150.00 with no take away. Had the Buffet, 50.00 per person isa bit much. Not worth the price. They did have 4 types of crab legs and several shrimp choices, but the rest of the food choices were extremely limited. Deserts were very good and several choices. Overall 3 star out of 5. Did not stay at hotel.

Our first time attending Cruising The Coast 2023 and we decided to grab a bite to eat and came across this place. The food here in the restaurant was superb! They had so much food and a big variety of different dishes. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well as attentive. We definitely enjoyed our food as much as we did the atmosphere.

Zero stars tonight if I could. We have been staying at the SS for a few months now, every week. We reserved our room and got there around 7, to which I’m being id’d to go inside. I’m 40 years old. Again, we have been here for a few months and I’m just trying to go to our room. I show my id, which it’s expired( expired on my birthday and I just found out). They refused to let me in. I understand that if I won, or I I was trying to get some sort of service, I would need a valid id, but my husband reserved everything in his name. Mine clearly shows I’m over 21. Very rude security guard and staff. I won’t argue with you about spending my money there. I won’t be back.

We were treated to a trip to the all you can eat seafood buffet. The food was cooked perfectly and seasoned to a perfection. The Snow crab and Dungeness crab was fresh and had not been sitting on the steam table long. Our waitress was busy but attentive. An excellent deal for seafood lovers, many other foods were available as well. My only complaint is that you have to walk through the smoke filled casino to get to the buffet, very strong odor of cigarettes. The buffet itself is a non-smoking area.

We enjoy staying with our comps. Service is so-so but the beach convenience and pool amenities are awesome. The buffet is Not at all worth the price of you don't have comps! On the other hand the palm court cafe is rather good and affordable

This was the view out of my hotel window. What more needs to be said. A laid back environment with no pressure to spend where you can have fun alone or being someone special with you to gamble the night away. I love the slots here and the buffet is second to none. Definitely will be going back sooner rather than later.

We ate at the Palm Court Cafe. It was delicious. We ordered the omelet, tuna dip and sweet potato fries. It did take a while for our food to come out, but totally worth it. I highly highly recommend the tuna dip. It's so good!!! Staff was friendly.

Stop by on my road trip with friends the casino was okay. The buffet wasn’t worth it to me. It was okay the highlight of the meals might be the funnel cake and sausage and one cake that was really good but everything else is just okay or not good. If you don’t like seafood like the king crab, crab and shrimp then go to a nice restaurant.

On May 1, 2023 my husband & I paid $156.00 + a $50.00 deposit for incidentals. Room had bare essentials. Quite disappointing. NO MICROWAVE OR MINI-FRIDGE. Beds were unbelievably hard and uncomfortable. They were lumpy even with my topper from home. We left at 10 pm that same night. Spending less than 30 minutes in room. Contacted administration through survey with no response as of May 10, 2023. I am not a complainer; but, the bed was just terrible.A positive note: the buffet was very good. The crabs were fresh and perfectly seasoned! Deserts were fresh and spectacular. I encourage you to go. A bit pricey at $50 a plate.

Had a short get away just for fun. Our room was very nice and clean. Shout out to housekeeper Leslie!! She’s the best! We didn’t have one of her rooms this time but was still very nice. Just need more winning slots so we could come more often!!! Love ya Slipper!

Silver Slipper is a great get away. Very friendly staff. Food that is a “10”. The weather is incredible on the gulf coast. Very clean resort. Great pool. Five stars all the way around. Greg R

We went my birthday weekend and normally it usually at least let's you play the slot machines for a few hours. This time was like all others casinos I stopped going to as I played many machines and it took every penny on every one and paid absolutely nothing!!! Don't think I'll ever play their slots again as it was all greed!

I'm sorry, but Buffett ,was way too expensive and not that tasty. It was like eating at Golden corral. I get better food at Lubys. 214 dollars for 4 people. You should have had prime rib and lobster tail for that price. Cheesecake, Carrot cake, and real Coconut Cream pie with coconut. Low rate for high price. My First time and last. Crabs are mushy also.

This was my first visit and stay to the Silver Slipper, my overall stay was fantastic! The view from my room was wonderful, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. I’ll definitely be back!

Love this place. The rooms are so nice, love the food options & and is convenient to downtown night life. It's a great weekend retreat at affordable prices. The seafood buffet is worth the wait. Highly recommended!!!

Nice clean environment. Service was great. The buffet was good. Also had a lot of different slots to choose from. If you would like to get away and enjoy the outdoors, there are several miles of beach along beach Blvd. In Bay ST.Louis along the road where the Silver Slipper is located, or if you just like table games or slots, then stop right in, and give the Silver Slipper a try.

Went and gobbled down as many crab legs as possible at the buffet. My uncle had some comps. It was great! The only thing that was lame was the time it took to get in to eat. The line was several miles long...or so it seemed. But it was Saturday night...couldn't be helped. I rambled on and on about whatever while we waited in line. The food was worth the wait. The staff was friendly. At one point I dropped a cherry tomato from my salad onto the floor and it rolled slowly and comically out into the walkway...some of the servers were congregated at their station near our table and they saw the whole thing. They laughed; and I laughed as I got up and ran to grab it before someone stepped on it. It was a funny, memorable moment. After we finished stuffing our faces; we set out to try our luck at the slots. Our luck sucked! Didn't win, but didn't spend much. A fun cool night altogether. Thanks, everyone at the Slipper! 😁🥿(that's a blue slipper...there wasn't a silver one) heeheeehahaa

It’s been quite some time since I’ve been here and my husband’s first. This is our first time staying in the room and it’s breathtaking. We stayed on the first floor with the ocean view and I can stay lost just watching the water as it ripples through. The bed is so comfortable and the curtains are shutters. The bathroom is nice nice and spacious. We ate at the buffet and it was really good with several different types of variety of foods to choose from. We truly enjoyed our stay.

I had a wonderful time at Silver Slipper Casino. The buffet was great. Our room was nice and clean. All of the employees were so nice and friendly. I will be back for another stay real soon.

We’ve been going to this casino for over 15 years now. It’s close and small and my husband just likes it. But we’ve never won anything over a couple hundred dollars. They cater to certain people here. It’s always the same ones winning and I know because unfortunately we go so much. It’s really sad they can’t see the value in their regular visitors. Overall this really isn’t a nice casino. It’s dirty. The bathrooms are horrible and the hotel should be torn down and rebuilt. We haven’t stayed in a few years but I hear how nasty it is. I recommend choosing another casino. Most people have already done that because we can see a major difference in how busy they are according to a year ago.

This my 2time to stay at Silver Slipper both nights we enjoyed out stay and we are pleased, the views it so pretty to see the water front and it’s so peaceful. The House keeper is friendly. I will be back again because I love to come to eat their sea food buffet .PS. I would like to say a big thank you to Mary in the front desk for helping me, to make it possible to have a none smoking room. I really appreciate her help. Thank you again and again.

Loved my 2 night stay minus the lumpy box spring bed. However, the shower and view from my window made up for it. The staff at the hotel and casino were all wonderful; from security to bartender to housekeeping - everyone was extremely nice and welcoming.

Plan to stay awhile as it is out in boondocks. We went out of curiosity since we're close. 21 AND UP ONLY! Great buffet. We managed to eat free as new members. Cost would have been $100 for all you can eat crab legs.

Very comfy and spacious room. Received a comp room and free buffet. Had a great get away. Will definitely Be returning. Loved being here.

This was our first stay and the Silver Slipper, our overall stay was fantastic! My only issue was there was no tub, as I’m not a shower person but I made due! The ocean view room was wonderful, the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. We will definitely be back!

My first time here. I Came down for my 28th birthday to stay and it’s been a headache and total buzz kill since I have arrived. Don’t waste time or money coming here if you have a newer Mississippi ID/License because the scanner doesn’t recognize them and you will have to wait for a supervisor in security to verify. Definitely would have chose a different place to stay because this was not worth it. RUINED my birthday weekend holding me up harassing me several times a day. Other than the hold up every time I walk in everything else was fine but the hold up at the door is a big issue though because no one wants to be stopped and harassed by security every time you walk in the door when all you want is to go to your room. Will not be back to waste money here again. Some staff are rude and snooty like their sh!t don’t stink when they need to be more helpful and hospitable since this is the hospitality state. I wish staff acted like they cared or tried to find a solution that would have gone a long way.

I would consider myself a buffet connoisseur.This is baford.The best seafood buffet I have ever had.I have been over fifty times and it's still not enough

I love this casino, if you like the ole school machines, what are you and your family and friends waiting. for? Seafood and steakhouse in this casino? Heck yea, don’t underestimate the works that really shows. Just because food Casio has alot of he old slots we all grew and loved over the years they’ve modernized the rest of the casino which awesome because it’s beautiful this steak/seafood brought to table, the sun setting and it’s perfect for this glimpse of beautiful right there in front of you st the silver slipper isn’t just know favorable for the fancy foods, best old gamings, drawings and an underground pool at the hotel, 3 or y’all and Ira like ,

By far the best casino on the coast!!! Out the way !!! Meaning secluded not a lot of traffic!!! beachfront did I say beachfront 🤣🤣🤣 Hotel is so nice the pool looks like something out of a magazine pool bar is even better!!! Players club is a must !!!

Loved it. No screaming kids, out of the way area, nice rooms and the crab leg buffet was pretty good. The pool is very nice even though it overlooks the nasty water of the bay. Very friendly staff.

Best hotel on the Mississippi Gulf. Lots of player perks. The Buffet is fantastic. Great food all ready for me to enjoy. Breakfast about $12 lunch $14. Big value for the dollar. Friendly staff and dealers make you feel welcome. Clean comfortable rooms.

Courteous staff, willing to explain the comps and points system for the rooms and restaurants. Rooms nice and spacious. The only problem we had was the bathroom sink was slow in draining (probably from previous occupant) not a deal breaker. Restaurants served plenty of food at a good price after comp points. We had a good time!!

Island View is great to gamble at, they have plenty of different activities going on for the players club members, they give you more free play than any of the casinos on the coast. The employees are super friendly and helpful, there is plenty of parking and for the non-smokers that don't want to be around cigarette smoke, they have the smoke free side called Beach View. They have a great selection of slot machines, older ones and newer ones. I love the older machines. The food is great at the different eateries. If you want friendly service and are looking for more free play, $99 rooms, and free food get you a players card and you will really enjoy this casino.

I'd like to say that my experience here was extraordinary pleasant! Lots of slots to choose from! What I liked is that they have fountain drink machines located at different places thru out the casino floor making getting a drink easy! The cocktail waitress was very polite and always right on time for me. I give ISLAND VIEW CASINO a very high 👍 up!! Thank u to all staff and security I had an amazing visit!!

Great quality for the price. Excellent service - everyone from the housekeeping, front desk, security, etc. was very friendly and helpful. Really nice, fun place to stay! Lots of dining options available inside.Having a non-smoking side was great.The only negatives would be that the room had some beaten up things and weren’t the cleanest (stains on the towels). Also, it seemed that not all the elevators worked… it took forever to wait on them.

It was excellent. Beautiful inside. The staff were on the spot with our drinks and whatever came across. We had dinner in the buffet and it was absolutely amazing..not crowded at all and very quite. We enjoyed our time and stay.

My party of four women decided to dine at your restaurant, Island View on Saturday. Everyone was nice. They greeted and seated us quickly. While dining we noticed some commotion about four tables in front of us. This lady was upset that they were going to seat two ladies with their “service” dog beside her. The lady insisted they not seat them near her. The hostess proceeded to seat the two ladies with their “service” dog beside our table. I did not have a problem with the service dog, because she had him/her in a zipped up stroller. The problem arose when she unzipped the stroller and proceeded to feed the dog from her plate!!! The manager (a lady) proceeded to inform the women not to feed the dog from their plates or security would be called and they would be escorted out.Needless to say the women continued to feed the dog from their plates and security was never called nor were the women asked to leave. This continued until we departed about another ten to fifteens minutes (could have been longer, but we let before dessert).There are many diseases carried by animals that can be transmitted to humans through salivary glands. The process of feeding the dog from contaminated hands to handling the serving utensils has a GREATER risk of infection. Not only do we have to contend with COVID and the flu. But this cross contamination does NOT have to be another! Animals clean themselves by self licking!!! Imagine that!If you LOVE dog hair and animal contamination in your food this is a GREAT place to eat!!!!

When I made reservations I requested a non-smoking room, king sized bed for two adults. When I made the reservations I booked four nights and told the man I was entertaining “my Valentine”. 💘When we got to the room I thought I was walking into a hospital room for TWO PEOPLE as the room had too much furniture in it, a lumpy mattress, a dirty coffee pot and a perfect view of the rooftop (we requested the “Beach View Tower”); Instead we had a “Roof View”!

Service and rooms were excellent. Food was good. We went to the buffet. Downside was the roof was leaking in the lobby area of the buffet with buckets/cones and taped off. Sad to see that. Lady at the counter super friendly and helpful. This location is out of the way of "the strip" which is about 25 to 30 minutes west of this location.

Hubby took me here after he earned some free hotel nights and dinner points. Nice place to eat, play and sleep. We lost some and win some at the casino. Liked that they had a non smoking casino & hotel but we stayed at their smoking hotel since the other was full. Free parking. Great food at their restaurants. Great drinks. Had a great time.

What's not to like? Machines appear to be winning to me they were paying out. The food is great. There is no snow crab leg buffet any longer but the selections were still enough to hold my attention and I am a chef so do yourself a favor go gamble and eat and have fun here. It was worth the trip.

Still not used to smoking after having not been around it so long. However, and thankfully, there is a non-smoking side and it's a lot calmer. The pool setups are different on the smoking and non-smoking sides though but the non-smoking side has a view of the Gulf. I'm not a gambler but I signed up as a new member and was given a $20 credit and had fun spending someone else's money. All staff was nice and everything was open. Their food prices are great and that breakfast buffet was very reasonably priced and has good offerings. I'd come back here just for that! Having the two sides and it being clean, on both sides, is great. The rooms are good sized and comfortable. Room service was courteous and prompt.

Right down by the beach! This was the first casino of our trip. One of the managers stopped by to check on us and knew our names. She was really sweet and wished us luck. We were new rewards members, so we got $20 in play credit and $20 food credit, which was awesome! We spent our food credit on the buffet, and it was pretty good. The Italian bar was the worst one. It was as if the food had sat there for hours, and there was no attendant in that area. Every other section constantly had someone.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful and got me and my wife checked in to our room quickly. The room was nice but just that, nice. There was nothing special about the room, quite ordinary really. The gaming floor offered a large selection of slot/video poker machines, but the table games selection was limited. Cocktail waitresses were very friendly and, for the most part, very timely. There are always people cleaning the casino floor and restrooms. They have multiple restaurants/eateries that have good food to choose from.

Went on a girl's trip and stayed here for the first time. It was great! They have a side parking lot behind the nonsmoking side so you can go the beach, the pool on the smoking side is GORGEOUS. There was live music while we were there on Saturday night and the shops stay open most of the day, even a couple of them are 24 hours like the Casino part. Four of the girls on our trip won at least $400. Rooms were clean and stocked. Great time overall.

One of the nicest casinos 🎰 I've been to and the one that I go to the most. The slot machines are always changing, meaning they always have new machines being installed and old ones removed. The comps a pretty decent even having a low Players Club card. I'm only on Plus in my comps are pretty good.

We came to Island View on a vacation because our past trips here were enjoyable. We checked in 3/26/24 and the casino seemed dirty some of the machines were sticky from other patrons when you touched them. The trash bins were old and dirty. The buffet last evening at 6:30 was not good its like the food was reheated from the day before and desserts dry and tasteless the fried foods were dark like the oil in the fryers needed changed. Very disappointed. Also a dog in a stroller was allowed in the dining area we didn't feel that was appropriate.

Very cute modern room I had in the non-smoking part of the casino. Top floor very very beautiful view. Had a good experience but there was a bunch of ants in the corner of the living area. Didn't complain or call bc I got free days there. Loved the atmosphere

This casino and resort is the bomb! Their hotel rooms are very nice, and there are definitely enough machines and tables for all their customers. My time spent viewing the ocean was an awesome one! Although I didn't get in the water, because it's winter, it was such a beautiful and peaceful place. I highly recommend going here, especially for vacations! However, I think it best to visit during the summer months so you can further enjoy the ocean waters. 🏄‍♀️🚣‍♂️🏊‍♀️🎰🚬🎲♠️♥️♦️♣️🃏🏤🧳🌊💰💲💳🧯🚻🔞☮♻️💯♿🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸

Best Casino we’ve been to so far in the country, including Vegas! They give fantastic comps! Comp points add up quickly to use for free dining, or play money! Always great give-a-ways, cars, trucks etc. We enjoy the variety of drinks offered, and the many “Senior” day give-a-ways!! Can’t beat their breakfast buffets! Rooms always clean and ready. Staff always pleasant and helpful! Hotel on the beach, one side smoke free! We look forward to our visits there every few months! Can’t beat the value we get!

Very new, clean, and spacious. Nice machines... good when you walk out two hours later in the plus column! It's also a plus when you get a dining credit that pays for your meal... it was all good, and non smoking, too... we will go back if we are in the area again for sure!! Two thumbs up!! 👍

Let me just begin with "What is up with the pillows?!?!?" On a queen bed, there's an "oversized" polyester fill and a "normal (read "tiny" ) polyester fill. Come in, now! With the income from the casinos and food, surely better AND more pillows can be purchased for guests. Other than that, the rooms are clean and the location is convenient to gambling, the beach, and just a short drive from a variety of less expensive restaurants and retail shops.

We stayed on the beach side and rooms were nice. The gambling here is horrible on the beach side. Never could cash out anything, not one ticket. Cannot recommend this casino at all. Staff was not pleasant and acted as if we were inconveniencing them. No smiling faces must hate their jobs. Won’t be back ever!! The old casino was more fun. People a little friendlier. Do not eat at the buffet on Monday evenings. The price was $27.99 a person and all three of us could not eat any of it. It was disgusting even the desserts were terrible. Have never eaten soft, mushy boiled shrimp before. Even the lettuce in the salad was old. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else

Always a great time when we go. We get comp rooms often. Everyone is so friendly there. You can cross over to there non-smoking casino which I think is fabulous. Dockside Deli has awesome breakfast!!! Goin Back for my birthday next month. Can't wait !!!!

Great Casino, with tournaments and lots of promo games! Awesome selection of games to choose from with 2 sides, smoking and non-smoking! Rooms on Ocean side are beautiful (5 stars) and have a safe, Smoking side of Casino (Beach tower) rooms need updating and definitely a safe added! Coffee staff is wonderful, also at the Carson’s Steakhouse Bar! I will be back, but only if I can manage to get a room on the Isle side. A favorite spot since I come from Las Vegas to gamble here at least 3X a year!

Island View has lured me down there and promised on the phone that if I returned and got 500 points they would allow for comp rooms then they changed their policy, the swim up bar is a joke, and very nasty. The guest relations office are unprofessional and do not meet the standards. 6 years as a patron and they did not allow the comp room they promised. Go to Treasure Bay it has the best perks now. Whatever you play as a new member you get it back the next day.Island View has started to downward spiral and they do not take care of patrons that come all the time. See response below after I got a personal call from a host who had me come back then denied my rooms.Their response to a weekday room that is fully available at this time as no one is selling out rooms all over the coast so n a Wednesday.Good Afternoon Mr. Jim,Thank you for contacting Island View Casino again.As stated before, the 500 point offer does have to be booked in advance and the point have to be made during the stay.You have from the moment that you check in under that offer until midnight to make the 500 base Points to make the room offer free. The points on your card presently do not count toward the point requirement.We apologize for the misunderstanding.At this time, we are not able to book a complimentary stay at this time.Best Regards,Guest Relations

Didn't stay in room. Played the slots. It was so much fun. Most slots play off. Some don't, but that's the gaming business. Bathrooms spotless, and well stocked. Staff are always very friendly. I enjoy every time I get to go. 2 thumbs 👍 👍.

Stopped in the casino on our way out for vacation because it had good reviews, that was disappointing. The staff was not polite at all, service was horrible, restrooms had no soap and were so dirty. We’re use to casinos in Lake Charles that are clean, staff are friendly. We will never return to this casino. The only positive the manager came up as we were playing, he seen it was our first time there and welcomed us, was very polite and one of the only friendly faces we had. We did get a precious older server after about 3 hours of playing, all the rest were pissy and clearly don’t like tips. It’s very hard to get drinks here. Slots played like slots play.

This is my favorite casino in the area. They are great for comps and have weekly bonus games to get more points. They also have at least 2-3 days a month for 10-12X points. I don't care what the others claim, but their buffet is the hands down best within at least 20 miles. I just wish they had bubble craps and a few newer popular machines.

I have never been in this casino in my life until today and it will be my last time going. I was out with my husband and 1 year old after seeing the aquarium. My dad and grandma were inside at the casino and told us to come in to the buffet. My dad met me outside and carried our one year old inside and we were greeted with an extremely rude older security lady that said no kids, EVEN TO EAT!! This is absolutely insane because no other place has this problem. We left after she was so rude. My dad went back inside because my grandma was still in there and the same security guard told him he had to leave because he was caught “on camera” holding a baby. HE HAD ALREADY BEEN IN THERE with my grandma for at least an hour. These people don’t care about you or your family. Strictly money is all they care about. Will never step foot in this place again and neither will my family. Definitely not kid friendly. Did not appreciate being treated like a criminal for bringing my kid in to eat.

The cooks in the buffet are knowledgeable and honestly I laughed wit quite a few of them on mother's day. I asked questions I knew the answers to seeking how much they cared about their work. They were good . I'm smiling thinking about it!!

Public health concern as far as the entire hotel. I saw it I experienced it with my own room. The pool was over 90° in the water. The room was dirty. They refused to clean it since we had already checked in because they don’t clean their rooms while guests are here they wait until you check out so if you come here and your kid gets sick all in the bed. You need to bring extra sheets because they will not help you. If you need an extra towel you need to bring your own because they will not provide them for you. They are the rudest most unprofessional staff I have ever seen and there was someone with active. MRSA with open sores, and they refused to do anything about it as far as public health, including cleaning our room. It is the biggest dump I’ve ever stayed in, including every dirty Motel six there is, if you stay here, you will regret it. The ceilings are low you can smoke anywhere they don’t clean the machines down And they have no new machines only old-school machines and two card tables skews me two dirty card tables. The staff is pathetic. Their English is so poor you have to speak a different language that doesn’t exist to understand them and again they are a public health concern.

As a 30+ year customer service person, the customer service is LACKING! I felt more like an inconvenience than a customer. Water was brown, hotel needs updating, food at buffet had maybe 2 highlights for breakfast and lunch collectively, machines were TIGHT. The pool was nice and relaxing, the atm works fine. We felt welcomed by 2 people of all the people we encountered. Met some rather nice guests, though.

It had been a while since the last time I was there. I had forgotten how great their buffet is. Large selection: Should meet anyone's wants. I also enjoy the fact that there are two casinos one smoking and the other smoke-free. Great chocolate covered strawberries.

My favorite casino on the coast. Comps are great, there are two Casinos. On on the beach-view side is no smoking. Island view is good also and has smoking. Walking indoor Bridge between them. Restaurants are really good. They have The Steamer across Street on the Island side-high end seafood. They have the Grille in the Casino decent food and big portions. Carter Green Steakhouse -delicious. There is a diner on beach side that's really good also. Table games and slots on both sides. Highly recommend. Employees very nice. Didn't stay in Hotel as we already had a place.

Whether you are staying on the Beach View side (nonsmoking) or the Island View side (smoking), you are guaranteed to have a good time. The comps here are great. The Beach side is newer so I prefer the rooms there but the Island View side is still nice.

What I love about this casino the most is because they really give you a lot of benefits unlike the other casinos. They have great promotions. Atmosphere is wonderful. I've never had an issue with service. Rooms were clean. I just love everything they have to offer. Basically Island view and beach view are my second homes haha.

Rooms are ok but I don't spend much time there. The bartenders are great in the center area. One bartender by the Jack's or better machines was poor. Great variety of slots and they are generous with free slot play. The food is really good there, even buffets.

Nice hotel to charger my tesla! Beautiful casino carpet. I didn't stay in the rooms or eat at the restaurants!I loved that they had complimentary beverages and gold peak sweet tea

I love Island View. I have been going here to gamble since 2017. I love the rooms and the beach side because it is smoke free! Once it opened I stay on the new side. The people who work the tables are very nice. I wish that if you have a longer stay that they would let us replace towels, give toilet tissue, and take out the trash. Our trash was over flowing. They dirty towels we had we were told by the cleaner to leave them on the floor so we had a pile of towels that were dirty after we asked for new ones. We also, had to ask for tissue multiple times throughout the stay.

My husband and I got a room here a few weeks ago. The girl who checked us in was rude.and not welcoming or friendly at all. She was very soft spoken, which is fine but we had to ask her what she said numerous times and still couldn't hear her and she got an attitude and rolled her eyes instead of raising her voice. Neither one of us are hard of hearing. We just couldn't hear her over all of the noises from the slot machines. The room was nice, however, when we tried to sleep in the bed the sheets and comforter were so cheap and uncomfortable that we laid there and could not sleep because both of us started feeling itchy scratchy sensations on our whole body. At first I thought maybe it was bed bugs but we didn't see anything and thank God didn't have any bite marks. We ended up leaving because there was no way either on of us were going to be able to sleep in that bed. During checkout we told a different girl at the front desk why we checked out early and she never acknowledged what we said. Never apologized for the inconvenience or anything.Also, I never win anything there. I realize casinos are meant to take your money, but after never winning anything after the money I spend in there, it doesn't make sense to keep going back.

This is a nice casino. Have seen some decline in the upkeep in the most used restrooms. Machines are not kept as clean as when I first started going there. Beach rooms are better than tower rooms. Tower rooms are dated. Prime cut restaurant is the best restaurant on premises in my opinion. Excellent service and outstanding food. Most of the slot machines are set up where you don't feel like you are stacked on top of other people. Walkways in between allow you to walk around without bumping into others.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Island View (beach side). In addition, we received outstanding assistance from Philomena (Bell department), Mike (Bell department supervisor), Rose (Transportation department driver), and Lonnie (Transportation department driver). These Island View employees were all friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. Also, there was ample free parking on the property, there was a roving security presence, the property exterior was well upkept, check-in was pretty quick, and the room was up to date and comfortable. Lastly, the beach coffee shop and the other coffee shop had great salads and sandwiches, and their employees were all very friendly, and they did a great job at taking care of their customers.

WTH? I just called to reserve a room and they can't guarantee your bed type. They said that is first come, first served, so get here early.We always book a king because my husband prefers the extra seating in the room. Imagine if you had 4 people to a room and you ended up with a king? Wow.I really wanted to try this casino resort, but with my luck, we'd end up with two queens. Very disappointing.

One of our fav casinos in biloxi area. Always get free comp stays and I like that we get free play every month. Drinks can sometimes be hard to come by(not enough staff to go around). Beach view is so nice to look out at the water. Their food isn't great but not terrible.

Haven't stayed just been to casino STRICTLY 21 AND OVER ALLOWEDGreat buffetThe Diner is good for a small, quick meal. Had blackened beef tips cooked just right. Husband had patty melt said was delicious.

I was there gambling for about 3 hours, 3 nights ago. Played slots for around 2 hours, then went to the 3 Card Poker table. about 1 hour into me being at the table, I was approached by a female SECURITY employee and asked to take my sweatshirt off or turn it inside out because it had a 4 letter curse word on it. I wasn't bothering anyone. No one had complained, to my knowledge. I am curious as to how out of hundreds of people in the casino, I was singled out......especially after I entered the casino passing through the SECURITY check-in podium. I was told it was part of their "rules" that no vulgarity was allowed. Inside the casino ??? Where everyone is 21 and older.....getting drunk, smoking and gambling ??? There were no signs posted. So how was I supposed to know ? I wasn't at the table cursing or being belligerent. It was printed on my sweatshirt. And I definitely wasn't about to take my clothes off in the middle of the casino. So I waited to finish my hand, took my money and left. I have been going to this casino for over 13 years and have never had an issue. I realize to some, this is nothing, but to me it was ridiculous. It definitely put a bad taste in my mouth and I will think long and hard about coming back.

Located on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast, this is one of my favorite get away spots! There are actually two casinos in one. On the land side is the smoking casino. The rooms are clean, very nicely furnished, the beds are always comfy, and the suites are exquisite. There are many choices for food, all of which provide tasty choices.The perks and rewards never stop coming, from free stays, free play, concerts, and not to mention, the beach resort with swimming pool and daquiri bar are too much fun! I highly recommend this resort, and will continue to enjoy all of its amenities.Word of caution! If you are a non-smoker, choose the Beachside Casino in order to experience the utmost fun!

Today was the first time ever visiting! Definitely enjoyed ourselfs at the casinos. LOVED HOW THEY HAVE A SMOKE FREE CASINO AND ONE SMOKE ONE. We were first time members. So we got $20 for food and $20 for play. Definitely will be back with our friends and family!

The 2 main buildings are joined by a walkway over hwy 90.The casinos are large and takes lots of time to see all the rooms, restaurants, bars, pools, decks and casino areas.The older building is a locals favourite and it is busy. Be aware that the casino has been smoked in for over 20 years.The newer building has a wonderful harbour view and the Gulf and it is smoke free.They have an excellent new player offer for food and free play.

Our first trip went well. The 2nd trip Was a Horrible Experience! The machines had malfunctions for 2days The machine ate my free play and some of my money. The 2nd day I won 2,500 and went to cash out and it only paid me $38.50 I waited for the floor person to come when they finally did he said there was no way to get my winnings because I cashed out! I was also hung on a machine waiting for them to hand cash me out due to the machine malfunction. The night floor manager is absolutely horrible. I didn’t get her name. On the 3rd day at the pool a naked man was in his window looking down naked doing explicit things for all to see. I reported it to security and they didn’t do anything until I demanded a casino manager to come to the pool. She also saw him. He was removed from the hotel. The center bar bartender on one night was very hostile and rude. I can’t say that I would be excited to come back.

Great outlet stores, great deals and most of the outlet stores! Be prepared to spend a lot of time walking and shopping, all kinds of stores to visit and most have great deals, you can find almost anything you need here!

The Gulfport Premium Outlets is not quite as large as some but is every bit as nice or nicer than any other we have visited. Almost all of the major brands are represented. The grounds are kept very clean and well manicured. All of the store staff and mall personnel are very welcoming. A fun place to shop.

Love shopping here!Lots of amazing stores & sales! Every time!Always clean in and around all stores. Clean restrooms. Very helpful and professional employees hired for these stores. Excellent customer service.We did back to school shopping yesterday and had an awesome experience as always. Our son got lots of new clothes and shoes at great prices!Good sales in Bath & Body Works, Under Armor, Nike, etc.Mama even got some new Ray Bans for Sunglasses Hut!This is a must visit place for shopping.

Visit here often. They have such a great variety of stores and I love that I can get my steps in outside 🙂

Great walking while shopping experience. Many awesome stores to visit and get great deals!

Love this shopping center. Outstanding outlet stores- Banana, J Crew, Ralph Lauren, Torrid, etc. Plenty of parking and very pleasant surroundings, with trees and green spaces. Check it out!

This is a nice mall, not real big. It is very easy to jump off and back on the interstate. All the stores are separated individually and you enter all of them outside. Most of the stores here are bigger name brands .

Very clean outlet mall with plenty of parking. Customer service at Michael Kors was excellent. My wife found exactly what she was looking for, and the sales lady went out of her way to make her feel comfortable shopping there. There was not many people at the mall so parking was great.

Just stayed in there parking lot for a couple hours of rest. Security did inform us that you can not stay overnight.

This is a nice quiet outlet strip mall. It’s not huge but not small either. Very limited food options tho, as in 2 places to eat, hot dogs or dippin dots. Theres a larger child playground, I say for older kids as the structure is very tall and hard to climb for anyone under 4. Lots of different stores only repeat stores are the perfume ones

Great Sales, With Great Sales Personal, We Always Stop In When We Are Traveling Through From Montgomery Alabama To New Orleans And They Never Disappoint At All.

Recently, I have fallen in love with Coach handbags and accessories! So when I traveled to Biloxi and Gulfport recently, I decided to visit the outlet mall and the Coach store. The sales reps were very friendly and I found a cute crossbody to wear on the remainder of my trip. This store is much bigger than my store in Leeds, which meant more choices. Overall, I had a great experience here and plan to shop here again on my next trip to this area.

It wasn’t to busy when we got there everything was clean so were the restrooms. I always go here to get my jeans for work. And my grandson was in love with the pineapple gift shop . He’s 11 and was quizzing the guys about video games. We all had a nice time

Went to Vera Bradley spent 30 minutesFinding a backpack i likedAfter i had asked which ones were on sale,Then once i went up to buyWas told no those arent on sale only non solidAnd not ex largeEven though i was told all under signWas the bundle deal.🤦‍♀️

This place is a bit hit and miss, but for me, since I like the lee/wrangler outlet, it's always a good experience. They actually have good deals there! Call ahead to places if you're military; seems like most places offer a discount on Tuesdays but some choose their own day.

It's decent for what it is. I really was looking for some shoes because my feet were hurting. Went to a few locations! It was nice.

They have several good stores , just wished they stayed open little later

Fantastic experience all around! From the maintenance team up to the managers, everyone was hospitable, kind, and helpful. The hotel was decked out for Christmas and so fun! The room was so pretty and the view was an added bonus. Delicious food in the restaurants, too. Make sure to get some specialty coffees at the Bean and try a muffin or coffee cake. And do some shopping at The Jewelry Box! All the employees were so knowledgeable. I can’t wait to stay here again!

This was my first time gambling and I was there with a friend celebrating her birthday. That's the most fun I've ever had losing money. I totally lost it when I found out there were little electronic slot machines in the bar. Okay, so I'm easily amused! But seriously... I hope I can stay in the hotel one day because this looked like a magical Wonderland. Especially walking through that little garden entrance thingy with all the lights. Absolutely stunning. beautiful property. I'll definitely be back to give you more of my money soon! (I never win anything based on chance so... It's just a donation. 🤣)

Absolutely beautiful facility. The room was so clean, comfortable, and our Gulf view was perfect! The resort has excellent choices to choose from for dining. The food and service were wonderful! MGM properties is the only way to go. The Beau has the same feel as if staying at a Vegas Resort. It is a family friendly Resort, with close access to local beaches and other fun dining options. We will definitely be back !!

The Beau Rivage, frequently called The Beau, is one of our favorite resorts, casinos, and get-away places. We love how the decorations change almost monthly depending on the holiday: Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, etc etc. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The views of the water and easy access to the 'beach' area are the best around. The casino has numerous slots and table games, with friendly and helpful dealers. The dining options are good at Beau, but there are also several restaurants (and casinos) within easy walking distance. We love the Black Clover lounge, as well as the sports bar, especially for watching games. They have a mini indoor Top Golf type range. The pool is awesome, and though I've not tried it yet, the spa looks divine! We've been going for years, and they are always tastefully improving and updating. If you're planning a trip to Biloxi, this is your place!

So much more to do than gamble. The Christmas displays were beautiful. Snack bar has excellent pizza. Sushi restaurant was very good. Italian was authentic and delicious. I can't wait to go back when it warm enough to enjoy the pool area.

Went to have a good evening of dinner and fun. I guess we got there too late to the buffet and they asked us if we wanted anything else as they were closing down the food access after being there 15 minutes. Wow! Spent $65.00 for 15 minutes worth of eating! Food was not that impressive. I would suggest that they warn you at a thirty minute mark that they will be closing and not take your money 15 minutes before they shut down. Last time I will eat at their buffet! We found other places inside to eat but we were hungry. Thought it would be a good idea to get something to eat before games and the buffet was the first one we saw. As we left we walked around to play a few games. Well to make a long story short, we looked around and hardly anyone was winning and when they did it was small payouts. Years ago I was impressed. Now all there is to play is a bunch of imported looking machines. Everyone there looked down and out. Roulette wheels were not very forgiving either. It's like they changed the balls every turn. Sorry but electronic import machines with strange Chinese dragons on them and just playing the lights is not for me anymore.. the old times are gone, no more old style slot machines. Just not what it used to be. Sorry but I don't think I will be back. Drove three hours for an awful evening. I had taken my girlfriend there for her birthday. Well it wasn't what we expected.

The location to the coast was perfect. I had the coast view room and the room was very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was great as well. I had the early check-in and they had the room ready for when I arrived. You can go downstairs and play in the casino, shop at their stores, or eat at the different places they have in there. If you don't want to play at the casino the beach is in your backyard. Definitely a positive stay.

We had the opportunity to take a deal from MGM to come to Biloxi from Florida on a bundled trip that included chartered flight and 3 nights at the “Beau”. First impression is this property is beautiful and gives you a close to Vegas type of experience. The room we had was bittersweet being on the absolute end and the furthest from the elevators. When we arrived it stated in the email that we were checked in and encouraged us to bypass the front desk and go straight to our room. Guess what? The digital key did not work and we had to call down and wait for a security person let us in. Slight setback but the room was a corner and offered a second window for some different views. Unfortunately not gulf view but still not bad considering. The room furnishings and overall quality are getting dated. Clean and kept the best it could be but definitely ready for a remodel. Those being the only complaints to consider this place is the high standard in comparison to the competition nearby. Casino doesn’t have the lower $5 minimums you might see around town but to be expected when they offer the nicest resort. Beautiful Chinese New Year decorations fill the lobby. Staff and dealers when fun and friendly. Slots were actually pretty good to us and had a nice mix of old and new machines. Overall a great experience and we hope to return again.

Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking your stay. This site will compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This place is the best rated in this area. I have been coming here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!Such a nice casino/resort with a great layout! Lots of machines and games to choose from and hotel staff is top notch! Beautiful pool and nice gym and spa facilities. The buffet had a large variety of food and even with a large line moved quickly. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Beau Rivage is an amazing Gulf Coast destination. While there, we were able to take a day trip from Biloxi to Mobile and to Pensacola (less than a two hour drive)! On our second trip to Beau Rivage, yes we were there twice this summer, we enjoyed a day trip to New Orleans (90 miles west). Oh, did I not mention the incredible restaurants, shops and on site salon at Beau Rivage? There’s something for everyone! The food is phenomenal, the shopping very upscale and enjoyable. The salon services were invigorating. And the casino, wrapped it all up with a bow! This place is definitely our family favorite casino resort getaway!

Beautiful casino \ hotel! The spa was absolutely incredible! The rooms are spacious and very nice! The little bar on the right just as you walk into the casino was so so much fun! The band that plays every weekend is what made it so fun! They were soo good and played songs from back in the 90's and 2000's.

Beau Rivage provides the best lodging experience in Biloxi! The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas. It is like a winter wonderland. It also has great stores to shop in. The casino is for smokers, but the smell is at a minimum compared to other casino hotels I have stayed at. I'm not a smoker, so clean air is important to me. I love staying at the Beau!

I haven't stayed here yet.We went for the brunch at The Buffet, and WOW! Just about everything you could want to eat and everything was so delicious!Lots of other restaurants are available that we hope to visit at some point also.We had never been, as we don't go to casinos, but there is great shopping and dining, and the decor is breathtaking!

Always beautiful, but the smoke in the casino is so very bad. They really need to work on a better air purification system. They have taken all but a handful of quarter slots out. Those are my favorite. Had a good time as always.

This is the prettiest casino in Biloxi! The decor detail is beautiful! I visited BR 25 years ago when it first opened. It’s as lovely now as it was then. The staff are all very friendly, the drink service is fast especially for a Saturday night, and there are plenty of games tables plus slots. They have several stores inside the lobby they were closed by time I arrived (9:30 pm). There are also several dining options. Restrooms are immaculate. Each individual sink has an automatic soap dispenser on the left, an auto water in the middle, and an auto dryer in the right. They also have paper towels for those who don’t care for the dryers (myself). The all in one concept is so hi-tech. I’ve never seen one like that. Highly recommend this casino! This was our first pick for a place to stay, but they were booked.

I love this casino for its beauty. On the other hand the casino could use a little improvements. Like I'm willing to bet that they've made over a million dollars in change from people not having an option to cash out change that's 99 cents or less. If they do your gonna have to inquire about it, or search the whole floor. And from experience I haven't seen or found one while gambling. The kiosk only returns bills. I guess it's legal so we'll just call it donating our spare change. Lol.... When you order a drink, it takes forever, which it does in most casinos.

Great resort & casino! We enjoyed Jai tremendously (steakhouse and Italian were also really good) the drunken noodles are top tier. Everyone we had contact with was friendly and helpful, room was spotless and you could tell housekeeping did a very good job, and blackjack and roulette dealers were knowledgeable but still fun! Couples massage was great also. Side note but also worth mentioning- the water pressure in this resort is amazing. We will be back!

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking your room. This web site will compare hundreds of hotel sites and usually will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This resort is one of my favorites in the area. I've been coming here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!Beau Rivage is an excellent Casino with friendly staff. I enjoyed my time there. I especially enjoyed club Eight 75. I will be returning since my date enjoys playing poker in your facility. I have not had the pleasure of staying in your hotel but hope to have that privilege one day

Great place to stay. The parking garage is free and the check-in process was very quick. Has a lot of shops in the lobby as well as some good eating places that aren't in the Casino area. Has an Arcade for the kids and an indoor Golf simulator for the Big Kids. Had the Buffet for lunch and it was very good and only $19.99. It is part of the MGM rewards program so be sure to sign up for free and get your card printed off and have them scan it for your stay and food. There were also plenty of elevators that were quick so there wasn't any waiting around for them.

My room was clean and nice. The line to the buffet was very long and didn't move fast so I didn't get to eat there...I was disappointed that the table games are $15 minimum. I finally found one Ultimate Texas Hold Em table that was $10 and played that for a little while. Both open craps tables were $25 minimum. I was able to find some cheaper tables at other casinos in the area.

Buffet was worse than a Golden Corral! Room was not as clean, and had a smell. The pool was so crowded that I wasn't able to swim. There were 70 something people!! I always loved going to the pool. Was there for 4 days and was not able to use even once! I wondered if they had opened it to the public? The Casino itself remains the same. Will not be going back. Have been patron for around 15 years, no more! So sad.

Super cute MGM property. Very "Vegas" feel without having to travel all the way there. It is simpler, and I wish there were more food options but the rooms are very nice, the pool and gym are great, and the casino is well kept.

Our room was excellent! Clean and smelled good, which helps after leaving the casino floor. Lots of friendly faces around every corner! I've never had so many conversations on an elevator! Lol. They have a great view of the gulf from their pool deck, lots of open space to hang out and relax outside, with a bar. The pillows were so comfy, we bought 2 to take home.

My wife and I had a short trip last month. We loved the room,very clean and roomy. The casino was awesome , especially the Bet MGM BOOK. The buffet was moved there temporarily and the food was delicious. So many offerings from meatloaf to shrimp to fried chicken. Overall a great resort, casino experience.

The MGM Folks treat you so special. We come in on a Charter Flight for usually 3-4 days and with some very nice people who become friends. The restaurants are nice and clean with very tasty food. They decorate for every Holiday it seems which is so pretty. I am in real estate, so I notice these things. If you have a need, the front desk is quick to assist you. This has become one of my favorite places to visit. I LOVE The Beau Rivage!

This is probably the nicest hotel in the coast. We didn't stay here but ate at the buffet. The hotel recently changed the buffet and my opinion is that it isn't worth it. Food selection is very limited and if your in two desserts they only had a handful of options.If you want a better buffet go to the Place. Lots more options and the food is better there.The crowd for this buffet was mainly seniors, and maybe that's why I thought the food was just bland, catering to them I suppose.

Nothing special about this casino. The restaurants are sub part. They did have the buffet open and we ate there. No real live music on the weekend. Just a local casino which still have smoking. The non smoking was located off the the smoking areas. What was good the whole trip was free promotion.

Be sure to park close to the elevator even if you have to go to a higher level. There’s tons of walking even after you get to the first elevator and it adds up! Very cool place though. The pool is awesome. Reserve a padded chair and umbrella though. There’s “free” chairs that are first come first serve which may or may not be in the shade. Pool side drink service is top notch.

Rooms and housekeeping were wonderful! So was everyone else (EXCEPT ONE PERSON) there! Clean rooms, very welcoming and honestly my family have been coming here for years... except last night we had the rudest bartender on the casino floor where you play the video machines built in the bar. Bartender with top knot bun, glasses and tall was very rude. My husband and I went to sit down and before we could even place our member cards in he asked us if we wanted something very annoyed like. When I asked for two drinks, he held them until I had my card in, then looked at my husband and said he couldn't have his drink til he put his card in. When my husband was reaching into his wallet, the bartender said "$24..." which is absurd because as long as you're playing the drinks are available to players. We've bought specialty drinks there before but these were cran vodka, like the waitresses on the floor offer. When my husband said he was reaching for his card, the bartender dropped the drinks in front of us and told us he couldn't serve us until we were both playing, then walked off in a very rude way. I've never had issues with this location before but I would just stay away from the bar in the casino floor.Rest of our stay was 10/10, love it here but that bartender needs a attitude check.

Fantastic hotel, our first time here. The property is well kept, updated and plenty of staff in all areas. They have numerous food outlets, all of the ones we tried were fantastic. Too cold on our trip for the pool but it is beautiful. The spa was nice and would recommend. Our room was well appointed but we paid a lot for a corner suite for the views. Disappointingly all we could see was the rook and parking garage, real bummer. If you book this type of room don’t get 3rd floor. Overall great property.

Place is absolutely stunning. Kept very clean and buzzing with fun sounds and, for the most part happy people (comes with the territory I guess) I did not stay over night, I was visiting from another casino. I can only speak on the coffee shop, which seemed to have a large selection of sweets or lunch type foods and the casino floor itself. When we were walking through the casino, people were smoking but, it was honestly not so bad the place still smelled fresh and it was easy to breathe. I look forward to coming back and staying here for a couple nights so i give a better review.

This review is strictly for the hotel, restaurant and entertainment as we are not gamblers. The hotel itself is beautiful. There are many shops within the resort. We walked through a few of them but they were rather pricey. We had dinner at Coraline's. It was absolutely fantastic. The meal was wonderful and the service was impeccable. We had tickets for the venue "Footloose". The show was excellent. The theatre is very nice.

Dropped by the resort to look around and gamble. Free parking. Staff was friendly. Jimmy, a guard as you walked into the casino, was very helpful and knowledgeable about the resort. The pool area was nice with friendly staff. The spa area looked lovely. The buffet had a long line, so it must be good. We ate at the pizza place. It was good. Would return to the resort to gamble and stay if the price and timing were right.

The rooms are very nice. The one I stayed in was very spacious, but my sister room was average size. Free parking and elevator for convenience. Lots of shopping 🛍, gambling, and food options, but definitely not for the frugal wallet. As with all or most casinos 🎰 drinks 🍸 of all kinds, are free. Their inside elevator to the room are uniquely structured. You need your room key card at all time to get on the elevator, and rooms 1-15 have their own elevator section, and 16-Up has its own section. Though the main areas are really beautiful and maintained. Going to the rooms are a lot of construction 🚧 zones and questionable sites. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. P.S. please do not order anything using your room service. My sister had to pay and additional $50.00 because her daughter called and placed an order off the menu (she went and picked it up and paid for the meal at the restaurant, but still got charged an hotel service fee).

Wonderful resort and casino. Check in was a great! Bell service was spectacular! Buffet was average but restaurants were excellent. Room was fabulous with stupendous house keeping services. I felt very generous and gave large tips because they deserved it. I also won four digits at the casino which was exciting!!!

Went here for an event, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the easy parking (plenty of spots), to the shops, the overall cleanliness and the great smells. Also went to "The Buffet" for dinner. At first, I though paying $70 for two ppl was crazy, but then when I saw the food they were serving. It all changed. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Beautiful hotel, casino was fun had something for all to do. Pool was amazing. Restaurants, buffet yummy. Staff from front desk, bell hop, slot hosts, maintenance friendly, hardworking & Kind. Housekeeping rm. 23078 Shannah WOW what a great job. Always making sure we had what we needed. Room was perfect.Will definitely return.

Rooms are really nicely renovated and the location is great. If you can spend more for the gulf view you should, it’s really nice. The spa was fantastic! Housekeeping terrible. Both days I didn’t have anyone clean my room and I did not have a DND on the door. I went even further to ask the front desk the second day get my room cleaned, I got back at 5pm and nothing was done. I called to complain and they said they will come and clean, came back at 10pm nothing was done. I think the housekeeper just tells boss they cleaned and they don’t follow up to see if it’s done. My sister and parents room had the same result.

⚠️ YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ⚠️Absolutely WORST experience ever. We have come here multiple times over the last few years and the trip was satisfactory, however, this last trip is 100% our last.To start - the hotel didn't keep our reservation and offered no solution (after we drove 12 hours), we had to wait 1 hour for a manager to come down and get us a room. (Note: this is AFTER they said they were booked full - which was OBVIOUSLY a lie)Finally, after checking in and getting to the floor, we spent a few thousand dollars, then the cash cage wouldn't accept my bank card because her vision was poor and couldn't clearly read my name on my debit card - but wait there's more...They made the decision not to hand my cash to me AFTER they already debited 1000 from my checking account. 😒So I stated "if you just angle it, you can clearly see my name on my card"Her response (manager): "I shouldn't have to look closely, angle the card or need a flash light to read a card - it's not my problem." (Unbelievable that you talk to clients that way)Next question from me: "so what do I do now that you debited my card?"Her response (rudely): "call your bank, it's not my problem!"Message received - obviously, customer service is not even close to being acceptable. And you don't want customers to have a good experience. But no worries, this high roller will never be back.We are checking out as I write this review.So be warned! ⚠️ your reservation may not be honored and the casino may or may not bill your account and keep your money if you have a newer card where the name is not embossed above the card face.

Beau Rivage Casino is the Class of the Gulf Coast Casinos hands down. Their Buffet and Food establishments are excellent, well priced and awesome quality. The other shops inside are top tier, and surprisingly affordable. The slots are humming and actually pay very well; the table games and roulette are entertaining, with excellent potential for payouts. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for hours till the wee hours of the morning. Can't wait to go back.

Incredible resort and casino. Great selection of next generation slots. Room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and beds comfy. Good restaurant options, something for everyone. Reservations, flight, airport transportation, and baggage handling were all done first class. Hassle free travel for the casino going senior. Good comps and great pkg deals are a plus, and this resort offers it all. No wonder they have regular repeat guests at this MGM location.

The hotel is Beautiful ❤️ the casino area is nice compared to some of the others I have visited. NOTHING about this place felt dirty, so that was nice. We are at two of the restaurants within the hotel and the portions were huge and the prices reasonable. The only reason I didn't do 5 star for service is because the wait staff at the restaurants were incredibly slow. Otherwise, it was a great experience!

This Buffet wasn't upfront with advertising. It advertises crabs on the buffet with many wonderful looking dishes. There are NO CRABS!!!!!! There is very little seafood cooked the way we cook things in the south. The food was all frozen food. The shrimp was all mushy and tasteless. You are sitting like 50 yards were they sell shrimp off the boats that catch them. Try buying fresh and local. Nothing was good. There are plenty of mom and pop restaurants left here that have great fresh caught seafood and I highly recommend trying them. The buffet prices were way too much for what you get. We had zero service. We even had to get our own drinks and napkins. The prime rib was too well done plus they cut the a slice the size of a sandwich cut. They had fruit but the bananas were old and turning. I heard a lot of people griping about the food quality as they were walking by our table. It's not worth it. You can get better food somewhere else.

This was the best casino on the strip! Fresh food Cafe open 24 hrs. Live music 7 days of the week. It was the only casino in the area that still offers a really good buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their rooms and environment were clean and well lit. Valet service was available 24 hrs. All the staff were friendly and well trained. I had a great experience there.

Didn't stay just went for the buffet for dinner 1 night and breakfast the morning after. The food is always hood southern cooking red beans and rice is must. The mac and cheese is delicious just the right amount of creamy gooey delight. The fried chicken is a staple I. Southern cooking and this places version of it is very light and crispy and seasoned to perfection. The cat fish and fried shrimp were good as well.

This is one of the Nicest Casinos that we have stayed at! From the time you walk in the front door to the time you leave, there are nonstop breathtaking sights. Also being walking distance from other casinos, food, and gas stations is always convenient.We were able to check in and enter our room digitally. Plus, the app allowed us to print physical keys at the kiosk by the front desk.We can not wait to stay here again in the future!

I have been attending conventions at the Beau for over a decade. The overall atmosphere has declined and not as a supreme experience. Customer Service has declined sharply. Today We are checking out after a 3 night stay. Asked for a brief 15 minute extension on our check out but we're denied. Tried to pay for a 15 minute extension but was denied again. This is reflected as poor customer service. Interesting take away is that after check out, it took the bell man and valet to get it together to load the car. So it's okay for a customer to have to wait 20 minutes for the hotel to get your items but can't extend a paid extension of 15 minutes. Restaurants close earlier than the did pre pandemic. If you're looking for a resort that caters to customer service, this is no longer the elite resort it used to be.

I didn't stay at the hotel, but I visited the casino and the restaurant. The restaurant was buffet style and was very affordable. The selection of food and drinks were awesome. The casino has a variety of table games and slot machines for players. Complimentary drinks are served for customers who play slots/table games. Overall a nice place to enjoy some fun and hopefully win some extra money.

Very crowded. Footloose, the musical, was playing this week. Our fault, we didn't realize the popularity of the show. Parking, lines for the elevators, and eating were long. Due to the traffic lights and amount of cars it was difficult to move around and/or out of the facility.As we were leaving one afternoon an elderly woman entered from the East end of the casino. She was using a walker and clearly was in pain. I asked her if she wanted a wheel chair. My wife held her as I requested help from the parking attendant.The young man and security were gentle and quickly arrived with a wheel chair to assist. She was taken to a gathering with friends on the casino floor. Dear woman had just had surgery and been released from the hospital. Excellent job Beau Rivage.

The buffet and the staff are fantastic. Gigi at the buffet made sure we were taken care of, and we appreciated her. Went to the casino, and the only blackjack tables open were two $50 tables and one $500 table. No thanks - played a couple slots and took off. I suppose the other casinos had cheaper tables, but there weren't a lot of affordable table options.

We got a complimentary charter flight and stay for 5 days. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We were picked up from the airport in a large luxury bus and taken right to our hotel. Upon our arrival we were given an envelope with our room keys and player cards already preloaded with $60 of free play. The room accommodations were fantastic. Very comfortable beds and instant hot water in the sink and shower. There was a shower and a bathtub in our room. The fitness center which we used everyday was equipped to the max. The outdoor swimming pool was massive and gorgeous. They had cabanas and lounge chairs with umbrellas to rent but there was plenty of seating for free. The staff was very accommodating for food or drinks. Plenty of clean towels given out when coming into the pool. The buffet was massive and the choices were overwhelming. We did eat at the house Italian restaurant which I believe was called Stalla. This was also a wonderful experience for our dining pleasure. The location of the Beau Rivage is right on the Gulf which you can see when you are at the pool. Our experience was excellent. This is a top notch hotel and casino in my opinion. I would definitely return again.

I liked the rooms, though the bathroom lighting is way too bright. I wish there was a way to dim the lights. But the bed was comfortable and the space was pretty good. A desk would be nice for those who work on the road.I loved the blackjack dealers - very nice. Many of the video poker machines had sticking buttons or the cards weren't working. The high limit area is nice, but it would be great if fresh local draft beers were offered.The pool was nice but I really hated that ALL the deck chairs at poolside were "pay for use." Most of the chairs in the rows behind them are scrunched together and few umbrellas. I have never seen a pool charge for all poolside chairs and most were empty. It feels wrong. Also, the music is way too loud -- some of us are there to relax, read a book, enjoy the sun in quiet and don't need blaring music. Turn it down.The resort needs to up its game in dining options. I do not like Salt and Ivy or Stalla. Love the steak place, but wish it was open more nights. l will be writing separate restaurant reviews.Overall, we had a great time and will return again in August.

First time to a casino with my wife, definitely a beautiful hotel with a beautiful pool. Had a few rough encounters with staff though. First spot we stopped was a restaurant with a bar near where you get your play card. The restaurant was closed down but the bar was open and had a few bartenders working. We wanted to grab a few drinks and get started playing some games but we were ignored by the bartenders chatting with other patrons. Found out drinks are provided on the floor anyways so guess that guy just didn’t want our money. Fair enough, the other bars were friendly and helpful. Later in the evening my wife and I kinda wanted to settle in the room and relax. Got hungry and decided to order room service as a luxury and yikes, that was a mistake. After ordering the food the concierge told us we would wait no longer than 30 minutes for the food. 45 minutes later I called to check on the progress and after checking I receive apologies and assurances that a manger was going to bring it right up. One hour and 30 minutes later we actually receive the food (sad food) and got charged over the asking price. The menu made no mention of additional fees but we definitely were charged over 25% of the meal. My wife was upset but the managers best response to any of this was to take the food back and give us a refund. Pretty sad attempt at customer service. Parts of this place are grand and inviting but clearly all the cogs aren’t as polished as the rest and make it feel a bit disappointing

Staff is phenomenal all the way around. Hotel check in was amazingly smooth (especially Dennis, he was awesome). Rooms were perfectly clean, dealers were friendly but also great at their jobs, food was DELICIOUS. Only thing is it’s in Biloxi 🤣 but jokes aside I couldn’t be happier with the service here and I didn’t even make any money lol

The lobby and casino are amazing! I love looking at all of the memorabilia. The room was nice and clean but it was a bit worn. The bathroom was impeccable; however, there was a little less privacy than what I prefer, too many glass doors there. The casino play was good. We played for several hours and basically broke even. Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening here.

It was fine I guess but less of a tourist casino and more of a locals slot machine hangout. The casino is really small and there were very few tables open - couldn’t get seats for 3 to play blackjack. A bunch of other goofy card game tables were open and empty. Hardly anyone likes the games outside of very popular ones so I think maybe flexible tables would be better.The HR Cafe was fine but nothing special like the originals with regards to scale and collection, and the menu any what it used to be. The food was good and the bartender waited on us and she was great. Very friendly staff.

Pro's: Casino being continually cleaned. Restrooms were all clean. So many machines to choose from to play. Wide variety of food available.Food in the hard rock cafe was very good. The cafe style area was also good.Cons: hard to find a server to get beverages from,both in main casino & high limits room& non smoking rooms. The smoking part of the casino was not too bad as I am a non smoker ,& didn't gag on any clouds from smokers. Must have a very good ceiling exhaust system. Plenty of memorabilia on display which was interesting to look at. I just wish valet cost was not $30 + tips to the runners. Maybe give seniors & handicap people a lower cost break please. All in all enjoyed my 5 hrs there. Didn't loose too much which was a bonus.

I can't comment about the rooms. I will say that the burger I had there was fantastic. The bartender that served me my food was friendly and very conscientious. I would easily go back to this place. I didn't get a chance to visit the casino but I would definitely like to. This left a lasting positive feeling for this place. Shoot I would easily stay here if I was offered a chance. I'd love to go back and maybe stay next time.

We really like it here. Neither my wife, nor I, are advanced gamblers and they are so patient and helpful when we play. We're not huge spenders but they still treat us so well anyway. Every employee we interacted with during our stay was pleasant to interact with. Bartenders, front desk, pool staff, and the casino staff, all just wonderful to us. Will definitely be back.

This is my very first time visiting the location and honestly it was a really great experience. The room was nice, really comfy and welcoming. Had great assistance. The food, was REALLY GOOD. My parents had a really good time at the casino, they loved it. I will surely come back again soon. 😊❤️

Rooms need to be updated. The door handle on the room door was very hard to open. Checked in at 9pm. Went to dinner and returned back to the room. Upon my return, the temperature in the room was 62. We changed the temperature to 73 and left from the casino. Upon my return at 3 a.m., the temperature in the room was 66. It would not go higher. Called the front desk, and they sent maintenance up to check the problem. He flipped a switch inside the wall behind a panel, and it warmed up to 72. The temperature would not go higher than 72. I had the thermostat set at 76. Management and maintenance needs to complete routine maintenance checks on the functions of all guest rooms. The only good thing I can say is that my morning coffee view was amazing. Drinking coffee and seeing the water view help start my day.

We’ve never stayed at a Hard Rock Hotel before so we wanted to try something different! My only issue and it’s absolutely no shame to the hotel at all because we still enjoyed our stay. I don’t like the smell of cigarettes and I believe they allow smoking in the casino maybe, but it’s incredibly strong. We had a “non smoking” room which didn’t matter because you still smell the smoke coming through the vents. Again no shame to the hotel and how they run business it’s just not for me. We still enjoyed our stay. Check in was fast! Willie is absolutely amazing I loved him, very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and funny! Again I loved him! The hotel is absolutely beautiful! The rooms were clean, loved the bathroom. Minus smelling smoke all night, it was a nice room. We had a room on the Royal Tower.

I have enjoyed staying and visiting at this Hard Rock location. The rooms are very nice and clean. Enjoyed coming into my room with my music selection playing. The staff are efficient and friendly. If I have needed additional towels or other necessities, they are delivered within an appropriate time.There are many great eating selections at this location. The casino area is clean and well kept. There are various game selections available. I would highly recommend this casino and hotel.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for our anniversary. Everything was amazing, the restaurants, casino, bars, hotel room, pool - everything! Check in was simple with the friendliest lady who was very helpful and patient with our questions. Check out was even more convenient.Loved our view, we were on the 6th floor and had views of both the MS Sound and the pool.The only negative we experienced..The buffet left a lot to be desired. Very expensive for limited choices of bland food.All staff from restaurants and hotel were so kind and welcoming. We felt well taken care of the whole time.All in all, we loved staying here and look forward to coming back!!

The property is beautiful. I had a reservation with Sugar Factory 15-minute wait for two people after being seated for a waiter to come over to take drink orders, only after being requested when I noticed a party of 11 walk in and there order was taken right away after I had already waited 15 min. I spoke with the Manager Drew and services improved right away he was very nice and pleasant to have around during the dining experience. I didn't get the guy name from the back that brought out our food but he was very polite also our waiter was great as well after the rough start to our dining experience.

Wife and I have been here several times and we've been satisfied each time. We brought the kids on this particular visit. They absolutely love it! All they wanted was pizza and the pool 😎.Like most hotels, room rates are highest on weekends. ANNNND as a reminder, don't forget to figure in those extra fees (7%Sales Tax, Resort Fee, 3% Hospitality Tax and 2%Convention Tax 😉)

Didn't know when we booked but smoking is permitted all over the resort including the elevators. Rooms are dated. Casino relatively small. Restaurants were fantastic as well as the view. Probably won't be back. Better values out there for the price but had fun.

First time to this location. We did not stay here but visited the casino. The area was large and plenty of room to get around. The floor service was great! Drinks were not hard to get and the machines were up to date with a few old school ones too. Will say it was a little dark but over all a good experience. Would definitely come here again.

This is my second time here with the same experience both times. Booked a King room in the Platinum tower. The whole tower is supposed to be non - smoking. It’s evident that they don’t enforce it or care. On both occasions, Immediately after getting off the elevator the hallway reeks of weed. We get into our room and it’s the same if not worse. The front desk was little help and only offered another room with different beds or an air scrubber. Housekeeping was very responsive but all they could offer was some spray. This will be the last time I stay at this facility.

I was less than impressed with my stay.The room had an amazing view but was in serious need of updating and the sheets were stained. The cleanliness wasn’t up to par either. I found hairs all over. They also misgendered me even though I provided correct information. I would not recommend your staff gender customers based on NAMES.

The room was clean and spacious. The casino had all the basics for tables, slots, and some good food options at relatively reasonable prices. We ate a big breakfast with chicken and waffles and an omelette and they were hot, fresh, and well prepared. The waitress was polite, attentive, and informative. The hotel is right on the water in MS. If you are passing through or live nearby this is a good place to try your luck and hang out a while. Good luck!

This was our first time staying in a Hard Rock Hotel and we were pretty excited at first. Our enthusiasm was then met with a very demotivated staff at check-in. Anyways, the room was pretty cool other than our view facing directly at some ventilation ducts and the overwhelming smell of cigarettes. The hotel is very nicely decorated and the pool area is decent. The reason for our bad review is because of the casino employee Stormi. She seemed like she hated her job, was very unhelpful and even disrespectful when she mimicked and made fun of us all while showing a very bad attitude. This ruined our casino experience. The overall experience was still alright but given the price, we would definitely think twice about coming back.

Great place to hang out. Our favorite pizza place actually. Pie Five Pizza. We stop here just for the pizza some times.Pro: platinum tower rooms are super cool and modern. They have great views and are nice.Con: royal tower needs to be freshened up as the rooms are showing their age and some strong smells can be an issue.

My boyfriend and I had booked a room for 2 nights here but it was so nice and we were having so much fun we ended up staying another night. It was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Allan hit 2 jackpots on Buffalo Grand the same night. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to go back very soon!! I highly recommend this place!!🤩😍🥰🤑🏝🎰🎲♣️♥️♠️♦️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Our room was a little lived in, shower heads need to be replaced, and the mini bar had apparently been broken into. It worked but it was empty. The service was on point. Great location. I got a hair cut and shaped my beard. They colored my wife's hair and it was perfect. Exactly what she wanted. The ladies were amazing. Made us feel very comfortable, they were the best. My wife gets super anxious around new people and her hairstylist got her to open up, share stories and laugh. I was very impressed and grateful. Mine as well.

We had a really nice room with a great view, but we won't be back. First of all, the room was not clean. There was garbage on the floor, the bathroom had not been wiped down, and the carpet needed to be vacuumed. Even worse, is there are no housekeeping services. One of the reasons we stay at a hotel, is that someone cleans the room and makes the bed, but not here. We asked for more towels, they were laid on top of our luggage near the door. Reservations was a joke. I had to make several phone calls because what I was told on the phone, did not match the confirmations I received. It took hours to straighten out the reservation. I've stayed at many different Hard Rocks and always enjoyed them. I was told to lower my expectations before I arrived, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

Had a great time, only comment is that the property and rooms especially could use a face-lift. Basic amenities in other casino/resort rooms, laundry bags, fridge, microwave, were "upon request if available". Mold in the room coffee machine. Drywall patching and painting in room was very evident. Furniture had plenty of use distress. Pool area was very nice as well as casino floor and restaurants.

We had a blast during our stay! Our first room had a connecting door to another room and the patrons were screaming all night. We requested another room and were quickly granted another room on a higher floor *without* an adjoining door. We were blown away by the stellar customer service. Casino was wonderful and the drinks plentiful. We'll definitely be back!!

The pool had a swim up bar. The entire area was well stocked with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. There were pool waitresses to take drink and food orders. They were all lovely young ladies who were great at their jobs. I want to give special thanks to Olivia, who made our experience at the pool even more enjoyable. She was friendly with a genuine smile that made me feel like she was actually as happy to be there as I was. All of the bartenders deserve to be praised as well. The entire staff that I encountered met or exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed my stay.

So above our expectations! We took this Biloxi trip on a whim, and booked the Hard Rock, and to say we were satisfied is a complete understatement! The location was very easy to access and come and go from, the view was amazing as well. From the first time we stepped in until the time we left the staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming, everyone we interacted with was smiling faces, saying hello, asking how we were from security to housekeeping, front desk staff and all in between! The pool area was great, a nice swim up bar in the pool, great sitting area, two hot tubs, one of which was very spacious. The towels supplied were very big and plush. Even had a great view from the pool to the ocean. Our room was very clean, spacious, had a great view out the window, a nice large bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows didn't go flat! The only complaint about the room was just needed more plugs closer to the beds, otherwise it was excellent. There's plenty of restaurants & entertainment that you don't even have to leave if you so choose. It was our first time staying at a Hard Rock but definitely won't be the last. They certainly left a great impression and made you feel like you were very welcome and they were glad you were there. I highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay, we are smokers and appreciated our room. Unfortunately, I had to put towels to block our door due to the INTENSE marijuana smell. When we were checking out we brought it to the receptionist attention and her comment was “well you were on the smoking floor” also we weren’t the only ones to complain, but there is noting they can do. I read the guidelines for the state and it’s for Medical Marijuana only. So yes there was something that could have been done.Lesson learned, always choose non-smoking… just really disappointed.

The rooms are beautiful and the view is nice. There needs to be more attention to details like dust on the headboards, too many chips on the beautiful furniture, and the coffee pot looked like immediate death. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.

I've stayed here awesome rooms. I've won 3 jackpots here, and people are awesome. The place is just great oyster. On the ha Half Shell is just wonderful. You gotta have to love oysters, tho & Fish in general.

We were staying in Biloxi last year and walked into the Hard Rock and fell in love with the atmosphere. This year we decided to stay at the Hard Rock as part of my Mother's Day gift. What a big mistake :(. Even though our room was supposedly a non-smoking room, I couldn't sleep all night because of the smoke smell, among other things. The carpet felt damp and almost sticky. The bed was absolutely HORRIBLE... it felt like bare springs in my back. I'm just so disappointed. We always enjoyed going to play the slots at Hard Rock, but it's so disappointing we can't stay there because of the low quality rooms. I hope improvements will be made soon. We do enjoy going there to play the slot machines and look at all of the memorabilia. The BEST part of the trip was the band The Great Escape (I believe they were called). It was a Journey Tribute band. They were AMAZING and really brightened the night for us.

I had a great stay and a lucrative run at the slots. The rooms were gorgeously decorated in calming tones with rock star uplighting. Shading and black-out shades were electric. Most rooms had a view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable. Self parking was available. We chose one restaurant for my birthday celebration "The Sugar Factory". It was pricey but the staff was super nice. The outdoor pool closed early, and there were no towels. Staffing seemed light and ambiguous to small issues like no direction to the front desk, checking out a cart for luggage, no valet, no towels available, and even where to eat. I'm a little disappointed in their lack of customer service. However, winning at the slots, the room view and the hotel decor made up for all that.

My family and I enjoyed ourselves very much staying at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel. The staff was great, the atmosphere was good, and most of all for me, I loved the Fitness Facility! It had everything that I needed to get in a quality workout. The next time we come to Biloxi l, we'll definitely be staying here again! 👍🏽

The staff is outstanding! Had a blast for wife's birthday, many awesome memories and made some friends too. Sarah and William at the front desk are the best! They helped us figure out a difficult situation without the frustration. We will definitely be coming back as we won five hundred bucks our last night there!

We did not stay here we just stopped in the casino to play the slots. Very nice place, $10 free play when you sign up for a players card. The waitresses were attentive and would bring you free drinks while you played.

It was a great experience. They had music playing when we got in the room. We gambled, watched the show, and had a few drinks. It was a trip I'll never forget. They send us, to this day, coupons for weekday hotel rooms for extremely cheap. This was also a great show. He sounded amazing live. The first time I heard 'Hes Mine' was at this concert.

Honestly the more updated kind of casino/hotel experience. Mostly a younger crowd, but they have entertainment for all ages 21+. The club was amazing, worth the 15$ cover, the dj played really good music and if that's not your vibe, they sometimes have live music in the casino! 9/10

Rooms were clean and big. We had a king-sized bed and had plenty of room. They did not have ANY charging ports at all, which was a little surprising. No microwave, but when we asked about one, they brought one immediately to our room.

Didn't stay at the hotel, just went to the casino. The waitresses were very nice. We tried to do the buffet, which is advertised on the website, stood in line only to find out rudely - it's been closed since COVID. 1) take it off the website 2) why does it have Mother's day buffet signs up if closed? 3) why are you so rude? The Hardrock restaurant was great after having to find another place to eat. The staff knew how to have fun and for a chain the food was good.

The location was good in that that's where our large group was staying for a Golf Tournament. Beyond that, it was an awful experience.We found out we needed an additional night and my husband called to book it. They said they were sold out and only had a room available for the extra night in the Platinum Tower. We booked it and just planned to change to the Royal Tower for the reminder of the trip.The Platinum Tower was okay. Cool power shades -- wasn't really a fan of the glass door to bathroom and how dark it was in the room overall.But at least that room didn't smell like smoke too badly.Check in took nearly an hour. And then we were told they couldn't add my name to the reservation since my husband made it via the call center originally and we'd need to call back so I could check in the following day.So my husband called --- and after some back and forth was told to come BACK down to the desk. Where it was not a problem at all to add me to the reservation.The next morning we got up early and went to check out of room 1 -- we were about to ask if they could hold luggage in the back when the person helping us informs us: we can go ahead and check into the other room right now. It's clean and ready...Hmmmmmm, they couldn't book us the room before but it's ready at 6 am? We did appreciate being able to drop our luggage on the way out the door.The Royal Tower -- our room smelled like cigarette smoke and weed. The carpet felt slightly damp. There was popcorn on the floor. The shower glass had soap scum all over. The shower had three shower heads, but only one worked -- and, of course it was the overhead one.The towels were stained and so used you could see through them in some spots. (I requested new ones and they were brought up quickly)We were woken up at 3 am by women physically fighting in the hallway.Anything that entered that hotel had to be washed --- even if it didn't go near the casino. Everything smelled like smoke, including our luggage.I have no idea how this property has such a high rating. It's tired, wore down, service wasn't good at all.And it's expensive!

Negative:When we got to the hotel around 10:30pm to check in there were 3 receptionists. We were being helped by one guy that was still in training. Another receptionist had to assist him through the check out process but he kept messing up over and over. We were there roughly 35 -40 minutes just trying to get our room. We were already tired from a long trip and wanted to just get to our room. That was a bit annoying.Positive:Hotel was exceptionally clean. Husband and I booked the King deluxe room with oceanfront view. It was VERY clean and the bathroom was HUGE! The casino was also clean - only downside is they closed most of the drinking bars early. We eventually found a section where they were serving alcohol and managed to get a couple of beers. We played some games and didn't experience any disturbances. It was fun.We will definitely be back and stay here again. Maybe check in will be smoother next time.

Fun place to spend time usually regardless of the time of day/night. Open floor plan makes it feel less crowded and.congested than most of the casinos. Nice variety of games and wide range of denominations makes it enjoyable for those high rollers and the more budgeted. Great food venues. Weekends are always rocking. It's hard rock, it's iconic.

Rooms were nice but not 281 dollars a night nice. We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Richland, Ms the night before that were much nicer and half the price. When you get there you are charged another 100 dollars per room and I had 2 rooms. They said it could be up to 10 days before it would debited back into my account. Only one of our rooms were ready when we checked in and we didn't check in until after 4pm. Just expected more maybe I was unrealistic in my expectations.

Very cool hotel. Loved the room, amazing view of the Gulf. Glass shower was great you can shower while seeing the beauty outside. Only negative thing if you like daily room service you have to make sure you ask for it. If not you will not get it. The Casino is a good size with lots of slots..and tables. Several different food choices inside also. Very clean also and friendly staff. And it's right on the water. Beautiful pool but was to cold to go in the time I was there. Definitely a do again.

Would stay here again. Great customer service, great location, ocean views, great pool with swim up bar. Plenty of delicious food choices inside the hotel. A ton of activities each day to keep people entertained. The casino was a blast and had old and new machines to choose from. The rooms in the platinum tower were a bit dated, but opened roughly 20 years ago at this point. They do have a newer tower to choose from that has updated rooms. Drinks are provided if gambling.

First time to stay at Biloxi Hard Rock. Got upgraded to Platinum tower for some reason. Room was really clean and larger than expected. Beds great. Shower was wonderful with plenty of hot water. Check in was simple and quick with very friendly clerk. Every where we ate was good. Expensive but good. Casino had a wide variety of slots and tables. Only negative was only two Ultimate X video poker machines ( my chose of games). While playing drinks were plentiful and waitress were easy on the eyes. (tipping helps). Down side it rained all three days there so couldn't do much outside. Truly enjoyed stay.

The hotel is beautiful and the service was great, however, the smoke smell is everywhere including the non-smoking rooms. The second you walk in the door you can't escape it. We spent time by the pool which was great and the view was outstanding!

I did not stay over at the Hard Rock I just visited and played at the casino. I received very nice free gifts. It does not smell bad of smoke because they have a great filtering system. The pool area looked very nice. They have a Duncan Donut, Ben and Jerry's, Ruth Chris Steak House, of course the Hard Rock Cafd, ect. for places to eat.

My family and I was just down there. First off the room was very nice. My issue was in the pool area. The first night we were there I took my 12 year old granddaughter and 11 year old grandson to swim. While in the pool a lady was breastfeeding her child in the pool. When I spoke to one of the workers about it she informed me she would take both of her breast out and do it infront of me. I am wording this nicely but her words were not that nice. When I tried to speak to someone about this issue I was brushed off like it didn't even matter. If this is how you treat paid guest we will never be back. This place needs to do better. You say your kid friendly but it's far from it.

The hotel itself is nice aethstetically speaking. Staff was friendly. So why three stars? Ugh the smokers! They are everywhere. I don't think they smoke where they are supposed to either. You cannot visit the casino or restaurant without walking through clouds of lung killing death murder. You also can't take kids to the restaurants until they text you that your table is ready which is another story. I did like the three head shower, but the shower door did not close the whole way, and the toilet seat kept falling down on my junk. So yeah, don't bring your kids here. Try a different venue.

when we first got here at check in time they said we had to wait, we sat for almost an hour before I went back to the desk to check in just to find out "the cleaners forgot to call us to say the room is ready." Paying the extra price for a better room/better service we expected more. besides that everything else here, including the food is outstanding

No microwave in room. Someone else’s hair was all in my bed. Shower door did not close all the way. However they did say they could send maintenance to fix. I opted out until after we left. Stayed in the Royal tower. However you have to walk through the hotel and pass the front desk to get to the elevators for that tower. Interesting set up. Lots of amenities though the pool closes at 8.Main issue is the communication between front desk and reservations. I booked through the hotels website a few months ago. I had my confirmation. I called to changed my reservation a week before but was told I booked a 3 day stay where I opted to save about $40 where I could not cancel. I didn’t remember doing that and on my confirmation it says nothing about this it only states to give 48 hour notice. I asked the lady on the phone to send me the confirmation and she sent me two sentences that states that I cannot cancel. But not the confirmation. When I arrived I chose to speak to front desk about it. Two people at front desk said it was no problem and all I have to do is check out a bit early just so they don’t charge me for the last day that I did not want to stay. I actually decided to come the night before check out just to confirm again and a new person told me no problem and printed me off something that showed what my refund would be. However that paper was a bit iffy. So I came the next morning a few hours before check out and a different lady (supervisor) went back to what the lady stated in the phone. I would be charged even if I left a day early. I had no problem with realizing I booked a reservation where I opted to save money if I chose not to cancel it. However the communication was bad and they could not give me confirmation of that booking. I chose to take my loss and just stay the additional night that I chose since I paid for it. I did not want to give them a hard time, but I’m upset on the communication because I had made plans since they told me it was ok to leave a day early. Also watching my daughter cry at front desk because of their lack of communication and messing up our plans hurt.

The casino was itself was beautiful. Coming into the city on the highway was as a sign about getting so much credit for free when you sign up as a new member and spend a set amount but once I got in the casino the employee told me straight up it was false advertisement to get people in the casino.Getting service for a drink while at a machine was impossible.The dealer at the card games was super friendly and enter.

Awesome stay. We used to stay here all the time before Covid hit. So I was nervous reading the reviews. However the hotel was very clean. The room was in great condition. Staff was friendly. The food was delicious. Had no issues with my teenager walking through to get from place to place. Although I don’t let her walk alone anywhere especially in place with this many people around. So I would definitely recommend a stay here. We had a great time!!!! Great place to stay! Very enjoyable trip!

I’m not sure why all of the bad reviews but our stay was wonderful. Only complaint is the hot water. Which we were told about upon arrival. But paying almost $200+ per night with no hot water is a little disappointing. Other than that, rooms were clean, spacious and had a perfect view from the 11th floor. If you have small children, the 3rd floor pool is best. H2O pool is more for an adult vibe. Overall enjoyed our stay!!Oh yeah. There were a group of teenagers who were playing by knocking on people’s doors around midnight but my husband set them straight 🙂 control your kids please

We played here for a few hours, and it was fun. There were no big winnings, but it was good entertainment for a while. We ate dinner at Morton's and were thoroughly satisfied. The beef and fish were excellent. The service was very good, and our server had full knowledge of the menue items. We will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant for couples or a special occasion for the family.

There’s so much going on here that I’ll break it up into sections.Hotel: 5/5 the best hotel experience I’ve had hands down. The rooms were clean and we never had to ask for things we needed because they were abundantly available. Spend the extra money to get the room with the jacuzzi, WORTH IT. Comfortable beds as well and nice sized bathroom. Price was very reasonable too.Spa 4.5/5 great experience and very relaxing though, I wanted just a bit more from my massage, but overall, good price and makes for a relaxing day.Food: 4/5 many good food choices on the property, some of them leave a little to be desired but there are no shortage of choices and variety to choose from here.Casino 4/5 honestly, it was smaller than expected, but surprisingly clean and low volume of people which is nice when you’re trying to get a table to play.H20 Pool 5/5 Hands down one of the best parts of the vacation. Very nice and clean. Plenty of area to sit down and relax without being shoulder to shoulder. The swim up bar was top notch and the two bar tenders work extremely well and efficiently. Literally could spend a whole day here and never get bored. Nice to just sit back and relax without too many people interrupting your peace.Overall, this was a slam dunk. Great location, close to the beach and there is a ton of food choices and activities to do within walking distance. Absolutely would stay here again. Golden nugget has my business for life anytime we come to Biloxi for any reason.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and comfortable. A varied choice of slots and table games to choose from. I think the availability of covered and monitored parking is the best!We had such a fabulous time there. We will definitely keep going back!!

Aside from a few cosmetic issues (chips and cracks) this place overall was great. There was nothing I can really complain about.There is a lot to do here, from great dining experiences, trying your luck at the casinos, watching the games, and the amazing spa, I must say it was money well spent.It is centrally located with an array of things to do in the surrounding area (just a 5 min drive or less away from the hotel).Pros:~ Lots to do~ Everything is within a 5 minute drive from the hotel~ The rooms were very cleanCons:~ There is a casino and if you are not a smoker then the smell can be a little suffocating.~ there was no fridge or microwave in my room~ The parking garage is poorly maintained, small and with little to no direction you’re left guessing on exactly where to park.

Great place to visit! Nice big rooms that were clean. Customer service was nice and helpful. Very nice pool area. They have a lot of options for food. Casino tables are a bit slower during the weekdays with fewer people. The only complaint is that the cocktail waitresses are very slow. Sometimes, it would be up to 30-40 minutes before they would come around. Overall experience was good. I would would recommend giving them a shot.

I totally did not catch our dealers name at the Roulette table on the main floor. For management, she was at the table at 4pm on 4/6/2020. Absolutely wonderful experience and she was phenomenal! Me and my wife had a blast chatting and betting money at the table. Our dealer was first class and I hope you retain amazing employees like that!Overall a great experience!

What a blast. I can't wait to plan my next trip. The hotel portion reminded me of a luxurious stay (cozy colors and big furniture). There are multiple pools onsite that look like so much fun. Multiple places to eat and plenty of slots to play. It's a lively experience with so much to do. It's in a central area that's not far from other casinos that you can visit.

Loved this casino. The swim up bar-pool is the best part. I only gave them a 4 star review because the drinks at the pool bar were very expensive. They sell buckets of beer but it's the same piece as if you were to buy them single. So there were absolutely no deals on liquor at all. I was beautiful and I will definitely return.

The lady who checked us in, she was amazing. She was so kind and very sweet. I just loved her.All waiters and waitresses in Michael Patricks, they were great.Our stay was fine until my 17 year old daughter and cousin were yelled at by security as they stepped off the elevator to go to the candy shop. Told them they weren't allowed to be on the casino floor alone. They said they were just getting ice cream and security told her she needed to go back upstairs. Of course, when I went down with them, that particular security person was not there any longer.Why put the candy shop right by the elevators if the "under 21" crowd can't attend alone?

A little over-rated for me. Best part was the pool but drinks were horrible. Taste like juice with no alcohol. Rooms were nothing special but spacious. Wasn't worth $300 a night. Food was good but over-priced for the amount you got....at Bubba's. Not kid friendly at all. The places the kids go was within the gambling area so they watch you like a hawk and have to walk a certain path through the casino. Any wrong moves or turns, they are on you!

Review based on gaming floor alone, during a Friday afternoon. Plenty to do with a good variety of games. Several bars on the floor plus a Starbucks and gumbo restaurant. During our visit, several games were down, but ultimately did not impact our visit. One of the better casinos in Biloxi.

We had a reservation for 3 nights but decided to check out after 1 night. The pillows in the room are small and nasty. They were yellowish. The bathroom door look like a storage door. The ironing board is old with holes which led me to not to use it. My husband also left his reader glasses there at the spa room on 11/26/23 and he went back to the front desk of the spa 30 minutes before closing. However, the front desk lady was not helpful stating that they were people there, and she didn’t go looking for it. Josh who was the massage therapist stated it wasn’t there. My husband was trying to tell them the exact place he left it but they ignored him. We decided to give 1 star of the service due to the rudeness from most of the staff. I called the security for Lost and Found, and he was very rude not willing to help as well. Truly a disappointing experience.

Husband & I stayed Thursday-Monday for short getaway. Room was very nice with great view (junior suite). Linens & floors were clean, but mirror, faucet, sink & shower glass were not cleaned. Instead of calling service I cleaned it myself. Seemed quicker since we needed to freshen up upon arrival. Casino is pleasant & not smokey considering smoking is allowed on the floor. Every restaurant service & food was great. Casino staff were friendly and attentive. Spa massage was wonderful & quite affordable pricing for a resort. Josh did an amazing job. Will definitely stay again!

Excellent service throughout. No valet really difficult to get luggage to your rooms. Very nice pool.Casino was very smoky. Rooms were good and weekday price of $100 with all fees.Probably would not recommend due to luggage and parking issues.Plus stairway from pool was an issue for older folks after a few cocktails.

I really wish they had valet parking. I had to hunt down an employee to ask. The rooms are nice and cozy. They offer shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and have a mini coffee maker in the room. My eighty year old grandma loves the golden nugget and enjoyed the rooms. So if it’s grandma approved, that’s all that matters to me. There is Morton’s Steakhouse inside the casino if you want a steak.The beverage ladies aren’t around a lot. It’s hard to find them.

The room was nice. The beds were somewhat comfortable (it all depends on preference). There aren't enough people working at the casino so it was horrible trying to eat at any of the restaurants and don't even think about asking for clean towels. It took them 2 days, with repeated requests, to get my towels. The safe in our room was "the only one that hadn't been fixed and/or updated" as per the guy who had to force it to open. They do not clean the rooms if you are a long stay guest. I do understand the restrictions due to covid. Overall, this is a nice place to stay but it does have a few issues.

Came here for my birthday, spent 5 days here. enjoyed every bit of it. I can go on for days about this place. It’s a get away for sure. Felt like home being there because Mississippi is where my family is from. But this experience was different for us. We were able to chill in the pool, eat at at some of the restaurants around it. we will be back.. best birthday vacation ever!

I checked in Saturday night and paid upwards of $330. The air conditioner thermostat was not working in room 601. I thought it would adjust to a fair setting to get a good nights’ rest. It was really hot! The carpet in the hallway smelled damp. I was also awakened around 7 am because the house keeping facility was right across the hall (they were very loud). It was the worst night of sleep that I've had in a while. When bringing this to the attention to the front desk staff, it was swept under the rug. At that price point, I thought I should’ve been well taken care of, and at least better customer service from the front desk staff.

It needs an update. Double queen room was nice, spacious, very large tub. It was also dusty. I found it odd that the bar at Bubba gumps closes when they get busy. Never seen that before. There were 6 seats open but they refused an order... of course the smoke smell but you expect that at a casino. All in all, I'd stay again.

I stayed at the GN during our Conference in July, rooms were nice, although they don't clean the rooms daily it plainly states, in the room, what their cleaning policy is. Check in was a breeze as was checkout. Ms Brenda at the front desk is amazing, she was so helpful. Enjoyed my stay.

Lovely casino/hotel. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.Sadly, they are very short-handed hence no room service or maintenance. Our room was perfectly clean with a lovely view if the bay.The shower door was missing the bottom seal so it leaked into the bathroom floor.We would happily return despite that issue.

Had a great time. We stayed in a balcony room and enjoyed a great view. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean, with the exception of the hotel hallways. They could be vacuumed a little more often. But I would definitely stay there again.

Resort fee although I’m not sure how this place is a resort…also their website says their rooms are “luxury” when they don’t even have a microwave. I had leftovers that ended up going to waste, which was pretty unfortunate since we were spending quite a bit of money to stay there as it was. Just tacky for a hotel to do that, in my opinion. The rooms were okay. Spacious but you can tell they need work. There was no “fan” option on the AC (I like to keep a fan on overnight for white noise). Not a huge deal though. The nice thing about the hotels was you couldn’t hear your neighbors, which was nice. The pool was nice, but the drinks were severely overpriced and were pretty much just juice.The Hard Rock casino was a way better vibe overall so we ended up hanging out there most of the time. The pool was also much better. I will say Golden Nugget has better hot tubs, but it’s just too hot this time of the year to enjoy.Next year I’ll stay at a regular hotel nearby that has full amenities at a more affordable price, and just go to the casinos/pools on the days that I want to. I would’ve saved more money and had an even better time had I done that in the first place.

Room security/ lock didn't work and some random person walked in. Customer service was worse than usual as there was no relief for the fault lock... we were told there were no clean rooms available. Gambling was awful, without even being to play before the slots took thousands. The entire casino and hotel seems to be in complete disrepair and aging quickly without investment in any real maintenance or updating. It really used to be a good casino and hotel, but we are done and won't be back.

We had an enjoyable stay. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff were all very nice and we observed many people working to keep the experience pleasant for all. The casino was nice and I like that they have a smoke free floor for players that have preference to be in a more fresh environment. I also like the location tucked away near the edge of the strip along the Gulf of Mexico near the bridge over into Ocean Springs. Convenient for taking a short drive to more shopping and beautiful experiences.

Went with family for a birthday trip for my mom. Great rooms. Like all casinos, you will have to deal with smoke. Restaurants inside are pricey. Kid friendly. Can walk with kids next door to Margaritaville.

Location is great, next to beach, near dining and etc. But the rooms- you can hear everything! Like the guy coughing and vomiting next door. Or the person using the bathroom on the other side of us. The rooms itself was nice. Smells like smoke, even though it's non smoking rooms.

May 2024: Being a disabled senior, I use an electric scooter and my battery was running low, I asked the valet if there was an electrical outlet available for me to recharge my scooter battery and he just blew me off. We promptly left while I had some change left to get us out. The casino is very nice .

We booked a non smoking and handicapped accessible roomwhich was not honored at check in. Room 513The room smelled like smoke, There was cigarette buts left on patio.Floor was dirtyBathroom not cleanedWe were disappointed in the bathroom accommodations, limited bar space to hang wet towels. Basin space was limited for two person stay.The bed linen was changed at our request only because the beds did not appear freshly made,The round side table was broken and could not be used.The corner lamp was brokenThe entire hotel was filled with smoke smell which was not the pitch from webpage.The non smoking game area had smoke aroma and did not have adequate games to play.On the brighter side...The restaurants & customer service was good. The beds comfortable and location of hotel great.Unfortunately, we will not stay at Golden Nugget again..due to our need for a smoke free environment and handicapped accessible room.

It is difficult to figure out where to park for hotel check in. The employees are not willing to go very far out of their way to help you either. You kind of have to just figure it out on your own. No fridge or microwave, but we knew that so no biggie for us. Lacking on bathroom vanity space and no towel hooks other than the back of the bathroom door. Beds were great! Pillows super soft, so you may need your own. The balcony was nice to sit and watch the dolphins play in the morning. The new pool area is very nice, although we never swam there. We did find the old pool area, which is not kept up as nice and no towels available out there, but it felt more low key and our style. We stayed here due to location with our kiddos. I felt it wasn't very kid friendly. Would stay here again, but not with the whole family.

Always a great place to call home during our stays in Biloxi. Wonderful associates and staff, great restaurants and choices inside the casino, and an unbeatable location close enough to everything to make it convenient. Rooms are clean and furnished, though they don't include fridges unless you pay an additional fee. We love the Golden Nugget!

Really it was a just average stay, first time staying at a casino and I might have expected too much. Having both elevators from the parking garage to the casino would have been nice only one operational. You couldn't use luggage carts without having to tip the employee. Shower didn't just leak it ran a steady stream, we had to run our fan on high not to hear it. I was impressed with the Draft King's section man it was Awesome especially during the NCAA tournament. It was a quick drive to Ocean Springs MS. Love that little special secret on the Gulf Coast

Most ghetto casino I've ever been too. Genuinely surprised it even has four stars, with that being said. The rooms do not provide trash bags, mini fridges, or microwaves. When entering my room it smelt of wet towel, the bathroom had writing on the mirror from the previous renters, shower door was barely hanging on its hinge, and when we turned it on revealed a line of dirt to be washed down. Not to mention the glass for thr shower was extremely caked in residue. The bottom of the bed had splash marks from I'm assuming a dirty mop slung around? The hallways by the elevators have plastic laid down I'm assuming for dirt coming in the casino? Online my room said free food just to get there and see there was no buffet. Staff was extremely short and felt as if they hated their jobs. Overall worse casino I've ever been to. Save your money and try the hard rock casino down the road!

One of the dirtiest rooms I’ve ever seen, no mini fridge, broken handles on bathroom door and cabinets, leaking dirty shower, bathroom products left in the bathroom that weren’t ours. Looks like they just changed the sheets and didn’t touch the rest of the room from whoever had the room before us. Also everyone who works at the GN is absolutely miserable, we encountered multiple incredibly rude staff members. Even the pool was very dirty. Save your money and go to a motel, you’ll probably have a better experience. Very disappointed

Stopped to enjoy some fun while passing through on vacation. I had a blast, people were friendly, you can smoke inside but it didn't have a horrible smell, won a couple hundred on the little I started with. I would definitely visit again if ever in the area!

Stayed here for a conference, and the room was nice for the most part, and the conference center, food, and Morton’s were pretty good, but the rooms include no fridge ($10/day upcharge for one, subject to availability), no bottled water in the rooms, and I was here for 3 nights, and housekeeping didn’t come once. Not a terrible stay but wouldn’t voluntarily come back

We visited this property 5 times during the month of April. We were camping at a nearby RV park. The first visit included our use of their on-site ATM machines. DO NOT USE THEM! Bring your own cash. 1) Their ATM machines charge over $6.00 a pop and 2) They failed to work properly when my wife used it. We ended up having to file a claim with our own bank to get the non-issued cash back. (The machine claimed it dispensed $400.00 but it had not. It showed "error" of some kind and no cash was received, but cash was taken out of our account). The machines are not owned by the Casino; however, they need to take ownership of the problems with the machines given that they allow them in their Casino.

The room was dirty.We asked housekeeping to completely change the bedding; down to the mattress and there was alot of mold in the bathroom. The ceiling fan was disgusting we asked housekeeping to come clean it.Housekeeping was very nice and the responded very quicklyThe room was just really dirty, good thing I like to clean before unpackingOther than that the view was beautiful and the staff was nice.

The ratings went down since my last stay. I always go for the holidays. The manager Keisha at the chocolate factory talks to customers like she from the hood. Very aggressive. I don't know how someone with a rude aggressive demeanor became a manager. She was talking like she wanted to go outside and fight me because I asked her to come over to get my candy. She asks what you want and just stood at the back instead of getting my treats. Then started saying can I help you yelling and rolling t her eyes.Pool side service is horrible as well the bartenders didn't want to service me because I wasn't with a group. They all looked and kept assisting the white customers

Only gambled here. Super clean and relaxing. Lots of great slot machines and nice patrons. Dealers are nice, didn't see any drink servers working the floor here during the day. I like playing here because I am usually lucky. Bubba Gumps is a great spot to lunch also.

The room was a good size. It could have been more clean. The casino is a casino. There's a lot of smoking there. But it wasn't so terrible that we couldn't stand to walk through it. The only real downfall is me and my husband were in the hot tub and when it turned off trash started coming out of the filter part. And in that was a period pad and a toilet paper roll. I have no idea how that was overlooked but it was. Needless to say we got out and take showers. The pools and hot tub do smells straight up like chlorine. We did get two drinks from the bar and they were 15 a piece which probably isn't bad but it's a little steep.

Very mediocre hotel. The attitude of 90% of the staff is very negative. This is from the dealers to the hotel desk to Starbucks to the casino cashiers to the “security”. I’m not sure what everyone’s problem is here. The rooms are very dated. The shower is a disaster. No fridge or microwave? Cmon. The only upside was the maintenance guys. They did come fix our AC quick when we reported it being hot.The pool is nice but there’s no security. Children are frequently in the adult only areas and nothing is addressed. With as many kids as there are, you would think there would be at least one lifeguard - especially on a holiday weekend.The casino is nice. Good layout, but the vibe is seriously affected by the disgruntled dealers. No smiles and constant complaining. The 24k players club is weird. They won’t explain how they calculate the points. I spent over $1000 gambling and didn’t earn any free play at all?Food options are OK. Bubba Gump is overpriced for the low quality food and Michael’s is decent but horrible service. They no longer do room service and there’s no buffet.No towel or cleaning service in the room. Are you guys still blaming COVID or what? It’s 2024. I’m happy they do still at least offer free self service parking. The location is convenient.

Luggage racks are located on the opposite side of the casino from the hotel. There wasn't a fridge or microwave in our room. To find the ice machine is a mystery!! Some of the employees are VERY rude!! The pool closes at 8PM, even though there is a swim up bar. Even though there is a smoke free section and smoke free rooms, you still have to walk through the smoke to get to your room.

Please make a note of the following text:"This property has a lovely exterior, with an elevated valet level overlooking the pool and bar in the front. The main entrance is also excellent, with gaming areas in every available corner. However, the staff isn't welcoming. Most of the staff we encountered just walked past us. You won't be spoken to unless you initiate conversation. The check-in process was a bit slow, but we got it done. The room was excellent upon entry, and I enjoyed the views of the Gulf Coast. However, the countertops hadn't been cleaned, there were indentations on the bed from someone sitting on it after it was made, and the floors were dirty and gritty. The bathroom smelled like someone had smoked inside the room; the wallpaper around the Jacuzzi was peeling away, and the shower head was rusted. The mattress was poorly worn and very uncomfortable. There were still balloon strings on the fan blades from the previous guests, I assume. Overall, I wasn't impressed with room #1057. The restaurant was decent. Our waitress, Ms. Karen, was super funny and hospitable, and the drinks at the bar were worth the price. However, most of the staff talked about other tables and tips. Overall, I would rate my experience 3 out of 5 stars."

This place is the worst experience on the Biloxi strip. The staff seems like carnival workers and acts like them. The room air conditioner never worked even though we asked for it to be fixed. We had no AC the whole three days we were there. The pool area is pretty nice, but it turns into a daycare very quickly. I would stay anywhere else besides this place in Biloxi, the rooms are nasty and old and outdated.

This place is filthy and the manager does not speak to you while on the premises nor does she return phone calls. My family stayed over Christmas for 2 nights. I had 4 rooms booked. 3/4 rooms were FILTHY! Empty beer bottles on the window ledge, garbage in trash cans in the room and one room had bloody sheets! I left several messages with the manager - Michelle Cobbins and she NEVER returned my calls! Desk staff was no help and inconsiderate! THIS PLACE NEEDS SOME SERIOUS CLEAN UP!

My daughter’s cheer competition brought us into town for the week! Family vacation in the golf sounds great rite? Wrong!! Musty smelling room, showers leave the floors soaked no trash bags in the room, TWO towels and get questioned if you ask for more. No microwave no mini fridge because those are EXTRA! I’ve never ran into this ever before at any hotel/motel I’ve stayed at. My kids have been kicked out of the pool twice and it’s the first day. If your with kids AVOID this place it is not family friendly. Staff that I’ve encountered in the first 12 hours are rather rude and unwelcoming. I’d rather have my $1200 back great view from room but it’s not worth the price.

I am a nonsmoker and the section for non smoker is small and had old games. It was as if they didn't want to get rid of them and decided to use a small section for non-smokers, and it showed there was not much care placed in the design. I won't be going back, I have health issues and can not be around smokers. Their section is large,spacious with a lot of game choices. I take it that there are far more smokers here. So that nay be why the big difference in gaming choices. I will be going to The Palace where it is all non- smoking.

Nice room. Handicap room should be close to elevator, not 20 rooms down the hall. No hot water in the morning. REALLY miss the valet service. Staff is always helpful and polite. Thank you.

We visited this place and of all the Golden Nugget casinos this is by far the worst on customer service and it’s never been that way for any other Golden Nuggets. Rude and u get no drinks form anyone it takes forever to get one. Go to the bar and get nothing from them either, asked a floor manager to get one and he looked at me and said oh well keep waiting they’ll eventually get to you like seriously people are gambling and spending money keeping you open. Do better Golden Nugget rated 1 on all the properties so far and this is coming from an elite member too

Older casino, pretty smokey atmosphere. Rooms are dated and a little dusty, bathroom was clean and shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. But for the price it was fine. No valet service or any bell service that we saw. Servers and dealers were all nice and pleasant.

Older casino but nice, room was sort of clean had coffee grounds on the floor when we came in. Good amenities just older casino. Pool and room could've been cleaner. The casino floor was immaculate and the staff there very friendly and attentive.

I visited the Golden Nugget for the first time recently. What a nice atmosphere! The decor is beautiful. The slot machines are spaced nicely and not crowded, and even though one can smoke here, it doesn't have a smoky odor. Very fresh and clean. The drinks were tasty, and the servers were polite. I would recommend this casino to those who are in the Biloxi area visiting.

The Gulf Coast Gator Ranch is the best! Each time family comes to town & wants to ride on an Air Boat & see some Gators, we head here. It's local, customer service is outstanding & very accommodating. The guides are are super knowledgeable. Recently they have even added being able to old a baby gator! I have personally been here 3 times & not once have I been disappointed!The gift shop carries T-Shirts to Hot Sauces & toys for the kiddos.5 stars & a must see if you are in the area!

Airboat ride was super fun & informational!! Loved seeing all the gators in the farm out back. Pretty cool being able to see them pop out of the bright green swamp water for snacks, that you can purchase a cup of for just 5 bucks!! 🐊 Nice staff & even a little gift shop for shirts, magnets & other little souvenirs.

My family had a blast! My children, ages 7 and 8, were full of questions, and captain David was eager to answer them! We never felt like they were a burden to him. We were met with smiles, and kindness as soon as we walked in the door. They were able to feed the gators in their pond, as well as hold the baby gator, and it was 100% worth it! I’d recommend to anyone in the area!

This was super fun. Our driver was great. I think his name was Pup or Puck? The boat was loud AF so hard for me to understand. Either way, he was awesome.We legit saw wild gators. I fed some of the refuge gators. The boat was fun and exciting. Overall just a good damn time.Would go back.Dude, gators are weird AF. When they stand up and walk is all weird. The little ones are cool tho.

My family and I visited on a Saturday, it was soooo much fun! Prices were reasonable and you can pay a little extra to feed the gators and take a picture with a baby 🐊. Seeing all of the alligators was such a cool experience. Enjoyed the air boat ride. The captain was very funny and entertaining! Very nice to the kiddos and i loved his Louisiana accent! Will definitely revisit!

So much fun!!!! Best swamp tour we've ever been to. The tour guide did a wonderful job of driving us through the swamp and was very knowledgeable. We saw numerous Gators, and I thought it was neat that the Gators would swim up right next to the boat. The tour guide fed the Gators marshmallows, so that made it where they would hear us coming and would wait to get a "treat". I loved that we could feed the Gators they had in the fenced in swamp area, and the walkway that sat over the Swamp was really cool to walk on. It let you get right up above the Gators, and you could drop food right next to them. I also enjoyed seeing The baby Gators on exhibit. They also had a little gift shop with some fun souvenirs!!! Wait times are very minimal and they offer Military discounts as well

What an amazing experience! The staff and guides are so knowledgeable, fun, and caring about the alligators. They love what they do and it shows. So many gators to see on site. The airboat ride was fun and informative. We thought this would be fun and it exceeded our expectations.

This place was sooo much fun. Well worth the drive and the price is very reasonable. Hands down such a great attraction to take time out for. They feed the gators on Saturday so it was the perfect day to go. Everyone had a blast on the boat tour and the captain was amazing and informative. We will be returning.

My hubby and I went yesterday. It was fun! Loved seeing the huge alligators and I even held a baby one. I loved the boat ride too. Riding through the swamp was exciting. Joe, our guide, was knowledgeable and told some fun alligator jokes.

On our continuing journey of the Gulf Coast, we saw advertising for Gulf Coast Gator Ranch & Tours. Wow, it was amazing and very informative. Our guide, Joe, was fun and answered all our questions. Joe loves his alligator jokes and we encourage you to send them to him! The alligators are so cool! The stories unique. We really enjoyed this farm, with the boat ride taking about 30 minutes. All is clean, restrooms, gift shop, but remember you are in a swamp like area!

We had so much fun! We were able to get in and get going within 10 minutes of arrival. The airboat tour is just the right amount of time, with gators and history about the swamp and way of life. Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and answered alllll of our many questions. His alligator jokes were my personal favorite. We had looked at many other options that were far more expensive. We got to do everything we wanted for half the price we were looking at others for. We got to hold a baby gator (Squirt), fed the adult gators in the swamp, and took an air boat ride all for less than $100. There were 2 of us. We are already recommending Gulf Coast Gator Ranch to everyone we know at home for the next time they are on vacation.

This place is a Harvest Host member which means you can stay in your RV or camper over night for one night if you are a member. It was our 1st Harvest Host stop and we are definitely hooked! We arrived after closing time to find a smaller parking lot than we expected and are glad we CALLED IN ADVANCE. We are about 45ft long and fit in fine. If you travel in a group there may not be space for more than 3 or so rigs. I absolutely loved this place. The price for a ride on an airboat is very reasonable. All the people are very friendly and informative, very quick to answer questions. Go and scratch one off your bucket list. Pictures are worth 1000 words...

This place is a must visit for out of state visitors! I will always remember this unique attraction. I took my young kids and they loved seeing the gators and swamp life. They do a great job at keeping the gators healthy, clean bathrooms, and safe environment. Tim was our guide and treated our group like royalty!

Great stop along I-10 if you want a break from your travels. Please understand what it is and isn't. It is about a half-hour airboat ride through a swamp. It's great if you've never been on an air boat and want an introductory experience. You get to see a few alligators in the swamp. There are many more back you can see from their boardwalk. We are glad we stopped.

Walked right in & got tickets ($30 pp) for an airboat tour. The entrance is a cute little shop, with a door that leads right to the gators! We had the option (for purchase) to feed the gators or hold a baby one for $5. Our guide was very informative, kept everyone safe & made sure we had fun. We had a great time. Tip your guides!

This is a gem of a place. Worth every bit of the 4hr drive from Birmingham. Friendly and attentive staff. Our air boat guide/captain (Tim) was funny, and full of gator facts. We saw two wild gators during our boat ride, and they swam right up to the boat! They love those marshmallows. The ranch area is filled with some pretty big gators that you can feed ($5). You can also pay a little extra ($5) to hold a smaller gator as well. We’ll definitely be back again someday. Total visit time was about 1hr.

If I could leave better than 5 stars I would - hands down one of the best places we've visited since coming to Mississippi. We had Tim as our boat guide, he was really informative, pointed out lots of cool things in the swamp, and overall made the day even more fun. They also offer tickets for holding a baby gator, which is 100% worth it.I highly recommend checking this place out. The gift shop is also reasonably priced with some great souvenirs.

This place was great. There were a lot of gators to see, including up close. The guides were knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and more enjoyable. Riding through the swamp in an airboat is certainly not an everyday experience and we learned about the various native vegetation and other wildlife, as well as the alligators.

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they take their time to teach you about the gators. The alligators are AWESOME! There are so many to see, rescued from all over, and you can even hold a baby gator!

We had such a great time!! The air boat ride was amazing, our guide Tim was very informative and funny! Had a really great time!! Would recommend 10/10!!!

Friendly staff. Lots of parking. Big gators around the ranch. Since we didn't arrive till about 1:30p it was super hot out. The airboat have no shade so be sure to bring your sunblock, hats and glases. We didn't see anything during the boat ride but it was fun just to fly around the swampy areas. Make sure you get on the first boats out because you're more likely to see gators that are in the wild at that time. It's $8 dollars a person to just do the walk but if you pay for the boat ride (which is about 30 minutes) you get free gator food to feed the gators in the ranch and it's a reusable souvenir cup. There are drinks and snacks to purchase in the gift area along with hats, t-shirts and alligator toys for the kiddos. All in all, it's a good time for not a ton of money. Wish it was a bit longer though.

The tour was so much fun! TJ was so silly and knowledgeable, he made the tour fun. It’s actually a sanctuary and they save gators that were in trouble. It was a wonderful experience.

I went on Good Friday and just reached in time around 5 pm. I had a quick tour of the Alligators 🐊, including buying the Souvenirs at the shop and holding a live baby Aligator. Captain David who took for the tour and the boat ride was fabulous. He explained in detail about the Area and the Nature around. I had one more family with me in the Boat tour, it was like a private tour for us. In the middle of the water a 4 feet alligator came around our boat the Captain handled it cooly by giving some treat. I was wondering if it was a 14 feet Alligator what we could have done. It’s an open boat so throughout the trip it was scary but looks like not much Alligator there other than the guest appearance which we encountered. Only tragedy about the boat is it doesn’t have a reverse gear so in a narrow channel if we encounter an Alligator attack from front then it would be a difficult situation. Captain David was quite confident about the lake area. We had a grand time.

Absolutely worth the money!TJ was a great boat captain. We will be returning with family and friends. We did have a small wait because we got there early for the first boat ride, but we took a walk through the farm and got some really great pics and even one of Big Boy.Yeah. This is a do again for us.

It was very hot that day but we had a great time. Bring sunscreen and shades for this time of the year. Air boat tour was very informative and you get to see the gators very close up.

Airboat tour was amazing and our tour guide, Tum was pretty funny. Fair price and got to hold a baby gator and learned a lot in the tour too!

Amazing tour, guide was awesome 👌 was able to feed alligators, hold a baby and get close up to a huge 14ft gator. I Highly recommend especially if you're looking for something cool to do on your vacation 😎

Our airboat guide was Monster, and not only was he knowledgeable, but he made the ride fun. We were lucky enough to be the only two on the boat ride, which made it more personal. The experience was money well spent. It cost $35 per adult + $5 for gator food, and another $5 to hold a baby gator.

Go here. Go here. Go here! That's all I can say. You will not regret it. Tons and tons of alligators to look at and feed. You can also hold a baby. So cool and surprisingly soft. But the highlight that can't be missed is the air boat ride. Such a cool experience. So fun seeing the gators in the water and having them swim right next to the boat. And the boat ride is pretty cool. Almost like an ATV on the water. But louder and way driftier. Just do it all; you won't regret it.

July 2024, we just happened to research and found this beautiful and amazing Davis Bayou Campground, Gulf Shores, National Park, Ocean Springs, Mississippi.The campground is well maintained, hot showers, clean bathrooms, and camp host. Each site has water and electricity with a dump station. There are sites for big rigs and the roads are well maintained.The Park Ranger ✔️ in office is on site. You can take walks, hike, boat ramp, and kayak. There is a nice Visitor Center with the always well done 23 minute movie about the area, Gulf Shores and history.I highly recommend this campground for family and friends, and group gatherings.

The Davis Bayou area in Ocean Springs, Mississippi offers scenic views of the Mississippi Sound and the marshy, swampy areas that provide habitat to native alligators, turtles and a variety of large birds (including Osprey and Herons). We like to walk near the boat ramp and the area south of the visitors center for the best water views. Don't miss this wonderful destination if you are passing through this area.

Ft. Pickens Campground is our favorite vacation spot. short boardwalk to the most magnificent (and uncrowded) beach on the Gulf of Mexico, with an amazing historic site - and if you’re lucky seeing the Navy Blue Angels rehearse… is there a better definition of heaven?!

We drove through the Santa Rosa Area of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The weather was not really a beach day but it was nice to get to see the pristine beaches of national park. When you enter the park, you leave civilization behind and encounter white sands, dunes and water as far as you can see. Nice to leave the commercialization behind and experience a natural Gulf Coast.

Such a wonderful peaceful spot. I may not only is it gorgeous, but it pays tribute to those people who have fought the good fight and served in our military so that we can sleep in peace at night. Thank you to all those who served as well while we're on the subject. I'm a disabled vet and although it was not the funnest time in my life, because of those people that are fighting every single day protecting me I would gladly grab a gun and head back. But this is a great little area, what I normally do especially during the daytime you know when it feels good outside, go by and get me some food to go, and then I just run over there it's running center of town so I run over there and eight, look at the water it's peaceful is quiet, it's just it's something really special I really enjoy going over there.

Beautiful white sand beaches that squeak when you walk on them. Ample parking in multiple stretches along the length of the park. Worth a trip.

We visited the Fort Pickens area of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and it was absolutely amazing! The white, sugary sand, the clear water, and the uncrowded beaches made for some perfect beach days! We stayed at the Fort Pickens campground and enjoyed being within walking distance of the beach. And thanks to this being part of the National Park Service, we were able to access the area for free thanks to our American the Beautiful Access pass. Highly recommend! We definitely hope to return!

Plenty of room, good facilities, friendly staff, and a beautiful beach. Entry fee is well worth it if you are going more than once. Plenty of room to be in the waves without going deep.

They have a beautiful walking trail! And it's wheelchair accessible, beautiful scenery, and cute little critters!!

Best beach in the Gulf! It's not crowded, it's very clean and beautiful. The water is clear. It's one of the better beaches to find shells.

Just an amazing experience! Beautiful soft snow white sand,natural beauty and interesting historical sites. A must for everyone's bucket list. Just keep an eye on the weather...those pop-up squalls can be scary!⛱️🪣🍻😎💯🫶🇺🇸

Beautiful drive to the Seashore!! Gorgeous white sand... if you've been to White Sands out in New Mexico that's how the Seashore sands look. Beautiful sunset over the sand also!!We saw the bunkers also that protected these shores during the Civil War.

It's a beautiful place with so much to explore! We camped (tent), cooked over a fire, biked the trails, visited the fort, enjoyed the beaches, & so much more! You can see the lighthouse (Pensacola NAS) across the bay shining at night. So much small wildlife to encounter. 🥰 I can't fit it all in this post! We Loved our camping trip here!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Untouched coastal beauty, crystal clear waters, and endless sugar sand. Limited public facilities . Must be experienced.

If your a beach person looking for a peaceful place to drop your chair in the sand this is the spot. We vacation here multiple times a year just because we aren't tourist attraction types we prefer a much calmer vibe, but if that isn't what you're looking for Destin isn't far.

One of the most gorgeous beaches ever. We love to spend the day here 💕 white fine powder sand can't be beat

What a little slice of heaven! Took our grandkids for a few hours of fun in the sun. They even caught a 🦀 and let it go! Clean beaches. No crowds. Water was beautiful. Had washing stations and picnic tables near parking lot. Convenient.

Beautiful section of beach close to Fort Pickens. Does require pass to access but you can get a daily or yearly pass that allows you to access tons of locations and Forts locally. Usually quite uncrowded and a great spot to stop after or before you visit Fort Pickens. Ok spot to see the Blue Angels practice.

Absolutely beautiful, sugar white sands that are clean. It's a great place to go. And not crowded at all which I like. The water is unbelievably clear. One of my favorite places

Beautiful beaches, tourists, please stay away, save one of the prettiest beaches in florida.This beach is for locals only. LOL

The Christmas lights are amazing. However it was so all busy and crowded and I don't feel comfortable with covid exposures here. No one wore masks or socially distanced. It was also hard to get around with everyone trying to get pictures. Aside from that, it was pretty amazing. The lights were gorgeous and they're was Christmas music. Half the drink stands were closed, so the only area open did have a really long line for snacks and hot chocolate, and it was at the halfway point.

Edited: RECENT VISIT 6-2024We saw the gardens and it was very nice!It takes about 2 hrs to walk at a good pace then a while in the gift shop.I was a little disappointed, I wanted a nice black T-shirt souvenir but the only one they had …HAD 2 MUGS of BEER on the backside! I DO NOT DRINK and DID NOT want beer on my shirt. 😔Other than that, the rest was pretty good. Gift shop prices are a little on the pricey side too.The lady working the counter was nice. Overall we enjoyed the visit. 😀Is a very nice place to visit any time of the year. Beautiful when the flowers are blooming and beautiful christmas lights during the holidays. A very nice gift shop with lots of unique gifts too! 😁

Pictures don't do ANY justice to how absolutely gorgeous this place is!!! My family and I visit this beautiful place every Christmas and we just love the atmosphere of it all! What a way to get in the holiday spirit! Highly recommend that you make at least one visit just see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful landscaping and views, winding pathways, ponds, gorgeous and creative displays of lights are everywhere. There’s hot cocoa, fire pit to warm you up on cold nights, and other snacks and drinks, benches to rest, and a tour of the home for an extra fee if you are interested. We travel from far away each year to see this light display because it is the best!

The gardens were beautiful and surprisingly quiet on a Memorial Day weekend. This was my Mother's favorite place in the world, and a fitting place for a memorial. I shall return.

A refreshing experience.We loved the walk as a family, and we talked a lot while enjoying the nature flowers 💐 🌹Beautiful place, very peaceful and quiet, you can enjoy the walk and see the beauty in the nature.

Whether you are local or a visitor, you will want to enjoy the beautiful nature scenes, the food choices and the gift shop.This is a great place to walk, especially at 8 am when few people are there and the weather is cooler. There are many options for a shorter or longer walk.This time of year you can see (and smell) the last of the summer flowers and enjoy some of the fall cors and cool breeze. There are clever scarecrows in the garden and the start of the holiday lights.The Japanese garden is a lovely place to visit and to see the coi.To tour the house is to step back in time and enjoy beautiful and interesting items.

The gardens are beautiful (we did not do the house tour). The landscape and area around the house has a river and the lake that are wonderful and diverse with the Gulf Coast marshes. There is some kind of shooting range/skeet shooting close by so gunshots were plentiful...

No better way to spend a beautiful day than to walk around among gorgeous Flowers.We enjoy taking our time and having a snack on one of the many swings located throughout the gardens.Another place to stop and take a break is on the dock that is overlooking Fowl River. There is nothing more relaxing than listening to the water crash against the bank.

Very nice grounds, peaceful and quiet. Lots of flowers, rises, etc to see read about and explore.Off the beaten path but worth the drive out.The small cafeteria is also reasonable - the BLT was good.Recommend

What a delight! Gardeners, garden architects, home historians, admirers of antiques, those that appreciate beauty and nature will take great joy in touring all aspects of this property.The docent that guided us through the home was knowledgeable and interesting and shared many interesting stories of the residents.It’s only a 4 star review because I feel that there are parts of the grounds that are in need of some TLC. I did see they have a posting for a new Master Gardener so I’m sure that will be corrected.All in all a don’t miss experience though, as it’s a soul nurturing nature immersive treat.

Beautiful place. Took my mom for her birthday in April a few years ago. They have several different areas of their garden to explore. Including a beautiful gift shop. I have yet to go during Christmas, but I have heard it's even more beautiful when decorated with lights.

Bellingrath Gardens is always a fun experience. Lots of colorful Christmas light displays. There are various themes throughout the disolay. There is an underwater theme....a New Orleans theme, to name a few, and of course they all have the Christmas theme. The only thing that I find negative is the price of admission and gift shop prices. For 2 people the admission fee is $38. I know they have a lot to maintain. I just feel that it's a tad high.

This garden has a gorgeous rise garden not to be missed. The Asian American garden made for a wonderful picture. It was very hot in mid-July! Go early in the day.

Enjoyed home and gardens. There were more flowers in bloom than expected for early May. The home is 10500 square feet. Mrs. Bellingrath has many collections of silver, glassware, fine china, and antique furniture. Outside of the house, there were beautiful stone tiles, terraces, and pathways on the river. Also enjoyed the koi pond with big fish and lots of small fish too. There is a gift shop and a small cafe open for lunch. Chicken salad was good. I want to go back for Christmas time light display.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! Make sure to do the tour of the house as well. Such a beautiful place. Will definitely be back!!

Awesome green houses, gardens, the house tour, the lights. This is a sixty-five acre manicured area. The presented photographs not include the feeling of calmness, the fresh smells of the roses and other plants. This is a result of work and pride. A must go to...

We toured half of the gardens before touring the home. I'm from out of state and had no context for what I was looking at. But I felt something for the Bellingraths by the time we left their home, and even though I appreciated the beauty of the garden itself before, knowing the story behind it made the rest of the garden viewing much more special. I highly recommend paying a little extra to tour the home.

Absolutely gorgeous. We visited using the Mobile Attraction Pass from TripAdvisor. The trails were easy to follow and well maintained. There were enough signs to inform without being intrusive.The grounds are very lovely and you’d be hard pressed to find a better way to spend time outdoors.We were unable to visit the home because tours are not self-guided and only occur on the hour. That was the only disappointing thing and it did not diminish our experience.They were setting up for the Christmas light show. It will be amazing 🤩. I wish we could stay for it.

Bellingrath was amazing. The lights for the holidays and the home are gorgeous. They had excellent little extras, S’mores station, drinks(both adult and non) and various snack foods.I would highly recommend getting there early. When we were leaving the traffic was backed up for mikes to get in. We got there before dark, toured the house, walked the grounds and it worked out perfectly.

I came on Presidents Day 2024 for a tour of the house and gardens. The price for both was very reasonable. The only bad part was the portion to include a gratuity. This was at the desk when you first walk in, and it's not like I was getting a guided tour for the gardens, only the house, and it is easy to slip the tour guide of the house a few dollars for a tip. That aside, this was a lovely time. I am glad I came when the temperatures were cool. There is a lot of grounds to cover. If this were the summer time, I would not have done it with the high temperatures of the gulf coast. The seasonal flowers were blooming and beautiful. There were a few gardeners around refreshing the grounds. Everyone was friendly. The house was beautiful. The chapel was quaint, and the pottery was exquisite. I would recommend this for anyone in the area. It is beautifully maintained.

This place is a jewel. The grounds are kept meticulously as well as the buildings. I really do not know how to review this place because everything was wonderful... so let's just say this is the easiest 5-star review I have ever done.We paid for the tour of the house and the $25.00 per person was worth it. I say this because this place truly supports itself, and they do it well.The story, the artifacts, the pleasant personalities, the gardens... all of it. Top shelf.I will write captions on all my videos and photographs that I added to this review to help you understand.

Toured the house and gardens and everything was wonderful. The house and grounds are beautiful. The docents were knowledgeable and did a great job with the house tour. The gift shop is wonderful. We ate in the cafe and the food was very good. Throughout our visit staff were friendly and attentive.

Sorry we missed peak spring season. But what was in bloom was very nice. The gardens, house, lake and river front are all very well kept. The staff are very friendly.

It was pleasant. Not alot of flowers in bloom now but we'll taking care of place. Coy were nice to watch. Would like to go back in fall to see flowers.

Absolutely breathtaking! I would suggest mid-March this season would be a great time to see the Azaleas all in bloom. We will visit again soon. A great place to bring you family and its handicap accessible!

The ferry was fun! The kids loved it as well. We all got out and hung out on the observation deck. There is a bathroom on board which is nice. A little on the pricey side but again, it was fun and the view was good.

We enjoyed our round trip experience. The men working were very friendly and took time to talk with our family! Bring bread to feed the birds and if you have a larger family or multiple vehicles check the pricing because they sell a $100 gift card for $80 we spent $90 on 2 cars with 4 adults and 1 kid.

Watch for dolphins!! We saw several. This was a fun, low stress adventure. I typically suffer severe motion sickness but found the ride smooth, except when a service boat came near us and caused some waves.We went up on the viewing deck and watched the ocean the whole time.

My first drive on ferry experience! The boat was in great condition and it felt very safe. The staff gave me pointers on where to look for the dolphins, turned into a dolphin cruise for me. It was relaxing and had great views of wild life and off shores oil rigs.

Such a cool experience! Loading and unloading was smooth and quick. We were there on a weekday and arrived 45 min prior to departure and were next to the last car to fit. Almost missed it!! Get there early!

It was easy to get on and off the ferry. You’re able to get out and walk around. We took the 11:45 am ferry to DI and the 5 pm ferry back to FM. On the way back we seen dolphins. It is hot and no cover. Can’t have vehicles on, so make sure to bring a hat and some drinks. It was a great experience!

The Ferry ride was great and relaxing. Liked the oil rigs, the corporative and nice staff, and the ferry ride all the way around! For us, it was ~$9 per person for a one way trip which isn’t that bad but worth the ride if you wanted to skip traffic, to see the history around the area, and something to do for the kids. Worth the ride and price!

We loved it! The grands got to feed some seagulls on our trip from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan and it was an absolutely beautiful day and getting out on the water was perfect. Would definitely recommend it!

Loved our first time on a Ferry! Get there early for a spot in line (about an hour early to be safe) Their Facebook page keeps updates for departure times and if they're full or not so it best to keep on eye on that.

The boys enjoyed the ferry ride. My dad wasn’t able to get out of his car to walk around and look around due to the cars being packed on so tightly. I wish there had been more room on the ferry to get out and look around. Like an upper deck to see more. Either way I think it’s worth it to take the ferry across the bay. They charge per vehicle and person in the vehicle. That wasn’t clear in the website to me.

The Dauphin Island ferry is a fun and quick way to get from Fort Morgan to the island. After a quick meal at Tacky Jack's, we boarded the ferry in caravan (2 vehicles) to visit the island before driving back to Memphis.The personnel on the ferry were friendly and businesslike. The ticket taker at Fort Morgan was nice too. He gave clear instructions and a smile. I thought it odd that I could not pay cash and had to tap my card from a 3-foot board he stuck out, but I expect with so many people traveling through that station, they had to be concerned with germs, especially in light of Covid.Once on the ferry, the gentle breezes and catwalks kept my grandkids occupied. There are telescopes on the observation deck that give you about 3 minutes of 150x magnification. We were able to see a lighthouse and closeups of some of the oil rigs in the bay. Even our dog Charlie had a great time.I was a bit disappointed that there is no bathroom facility on the ferry, as we had to hold it across the 30-minute voyage. When we asked one of the staff about it, they pointed to the side of the ship, and said there were plenty of places to go. Erm, no.

Our first time on an ocean ferry. A fun experience with cool views. It takes about 30-35 min to cross and you may need to show up 30 min early. Total cost on a two way trip was 42$.

The ferry ride is very pleasant. It is cost-effective if you are going round-trip ferry is clean efficient and on time take a loaf of bread or a box of saltine so you can feed the birds off the back of the boat. We had a good time watching the birds fight over the bread. We took the last three of the day at 6:30 and it was really fun to see the beautiful sun getting ready to set.

I decided to avoid the nightmare traffic on 59 and the Mobile tunnel Parkway and take the ferry. I drove and was greeted by a very pleasant young lady who told me I would be on the next ferry within 5 minutes. Loading cars went smoothly and the ride to Dauphin Island was nice and scenic. Both sides of the ferry have raised observation decks if you want a higher view. The fee for myself and my car was $21. I'd do it again to avoid the agony of traffic delays using I-10 and 59.

Very affordable round trip to and from Dauphin Island. You can walk on, take a bike on or drive a vehicle on. There are two upper platforms to view from. If you are not in a car, you will be standing, but it's not a really long passage. It is nice and part of the total experience of the island.

Best experience. We saw dolphins on the return trip.

Great trip across Mobile Bay and very much worth the money.

My husband and I rode the Mobile BayFerry to Dauphin Island, yesterday. It was so exciting! It was such a beautiful day and it was breezy, even though the sun was hot. It was still nice. There were several birds, lots of boats and a couple of ships heading out. It was very exciting to see a Dolphin on our way back, he was too fast for my camera, lol. We had so much fun!

Great experience. Was nervous about our new car being packed in but they guided you expertly, no issues.

Was a pretty cool experience to ferry your vehicle across the water instead of driving out of the way to get to fort Morgan. Probably doesn't save much time from waiting to board and inboard. But still pretty cool to get out and check out the ocean as you are transported. The only thing they need is a bathroom. Having to sit and in a line of vehicles for half an hour and then travel across the ocean on a windy chilly day we were definitely holding it in lol.

Such a small ride and so expensive to do so. Makes sense if you are going to make the trip to and from, but if only traveling over once, not worth it. I would rather drive.

Great place to visit with your family, a peaceful place to just sit and chill or walk alone on the beach.

Great ride and a great price ($6 per person for the day and $15 each way for a car) for a afternoon boat ride across the bay. The workers were very helpful and up beat. We did not take our car, there is plenty of free parking, we just wanted to ride there and back. Heard there's plenty to do but we did not have the time to check things out.

We drove our car onto the ferry. Got out and stood on the upper deck. Saw dolphins out in the distance. And went on the last trip of the day. The sun was starting to set which made for an amazing ride and photos. It felt like a sunset cruise. We had just missed the previous ferry, so we got out of the car ferry lane, where you wait to drive onto the ferry, and drove around the corner and checked out Ft. Pickens while we waited for the ferry to show up. Then drove back and got in the back of the line when we were finished looking around the fort. No one cared that we left for about 45 minutes. This was not only fun, but a great experience! And made for some awesome sunset photos. I usually get motion sickness on boats, but this was such a smooth ride, I didn't need any Dramamine. I did perfectly fine without it. You can remain in your car, if you want to. But there are benches a top. Enjoy!

Nice little aquarium with some nice displays. Very informative for the local area. Great little ice cream shop on site

I was really impressed with the Alabama Aquarium. The exhibits were great, informative and well maintained. My kids loved the ‘please touch’ sections throughout the building. The staff were kind and helpful.My oldest (9 years old) got a little bored, but my younger two were very interested and loved the information panels/touch screen.

This place is great to visit. You get to touch a horseshoe crab and a sting ray. I really liked the sea horses and turtles. It wasn't really that expensive for the adventure. I would recommend going here to anyone. Very educational for children.

It was a smaller aquarium but had a decent selection of things to look at my favorite was the seahorses, jellyfish, and the hammerhead shark in the stingray tank. They also had hands on sectio and which was fun for the kids and you was no extra cost. It was nice they also had a snack bar to eat at that had good food for decent prices. We also enjoyed the board walk area outside and got to see a bunch of crabs out there. Fun overall family experience

This was a lot of fun. The stingrays and seahorses were our favorite. The jellyfish tanks were being cleaned so we didn't get to see them. Overall it's a must see! We could relax and take our time strolling around looking at a lot of different types of sea creatures.

Great experience and friendly knowledge staff. A great location to visit for the afternoon, located near the fort and the ferry, lots of local water-life to see, tanks and facility are very well kept. This is a smaller local aquarium and sea lab so it’s not like the large aquariums in New Orleans or Mississippi. However the price is super affordable, it’s a great place to learn about the bay and gulf coast. Highly recommend.

My husband and I rode the ferry to Dauphine Island and went to the Alabama Aquarium. It was so interesting and we loved it more than most Aquariums we have been to. There were several children and adults and all were interested in the marine life at the aquarium. It was informative and had so many different subjects to learn about. We loved it! We bought a lot of items at the gift shop afterwards.

A small aquarium that offers a great experience. All tanks were clean & water was clear, fish seemed to love being engaged/interacted with. Estuariam is nice as well, beautiful butterflies! Great way to spend a little time.

While on vacation in Dauphin Island, the wife and I needed to get our twin boys out of the sun for the day and decided to go to the Aquarium on the island. We were so glad we did. What an awesome place to check out! For the foreseeable future of us it 40 dollars to get in and see all the awesome tanks and enclosures they have.We always check out the local aquariums when we can, and this one did not disappoint. Though it is pretty small, the aquariums and enclosures were very cool and well done. We check out everything but the sting ray touch pond and were there for about 45 minutes to an hour.The aquarium was pretty busy being one of the few inside attractions on the island, but we got to see everything without much jostling for position. The place was very clean and it seemed like they really cared for the animals they keep there. They also had a few exhibits with workers explaining various things found locally around the island and in the gulf like shells, fossils and such. They were all very nice and seemed very patient with the kids. Also, outside of the aquarium is a beautiful pathway and pier showing some of the best views on the island imo, as well as more info about the local animal life and ecosystem!Overall, I would definitely recommend taking the time to check it out and support the work this place does!

Cheap entry fee and some neat exhibits including a petting tank with sting rays, hammerhead shark, and some fish. Plenty of neat tanks to look at. Volunteers are obviously passionate. Ultimately it's a pretty small aquarium and there's not a ton there, but it's worth a visit if you're on the island especially with kids.

Fun for all ages! This is a great place to take the kids/grandkids to see all of the local inhabitants. When you love the island it's great to know all of the types of animals and fish you may encounter. Inside the aquarium is only part of the experience, be sure to walk around the boardwalk area outside. The little information stations are packed with details. There are plenty of places for photos and outside there is a tank where you can touch sting rays and a shark. It's not overly expensive and they do offer discounts for larger groups and military!

Today was the grand re-opening! Definitely worth the visit. Had nice exhibits and lots of learning!

It is a small aquarium, but it is very informative.Loved that they let you touch the stingray.We had a good time here and definitely recommend you to visit it.

Nice family aquarium. Disclaimer. If you have been to Georgia Aquarium before this is a way smaller scale but they do a great job and provide a great experience. Plenty of information to read through out about the bay and Gulf coast environments and marine life. Some marine life included sea horses, puffer fish, clown fish, octopus and a small shark. The highlights tho is definitely the stingray petting area. We had a great time.

It is a nice aquarium that would be a must see space for families with young children up to 10 years of age. The highlight was the touch pool. Rays swim up to your hand and make contact.This is a good place to learn about local species and to have an aquarium experience.

We loved our visit! It’s not the biggest place but it is very hands on and lots of things to see and do! No long lines and great air conditioning for a hot summer day! Friendly staff.

Very nice place. Small but definitely worth the trip. This was our second time going over there. First time was me and my husband. The second time was me, my husband and grandchildren. I highly recommend.

Second year visiting on a field trip. Definitely worth checking out. The staff are really great with children and do a great job explaining things. The dinning hall was very good! Overall great experience. Love the beach access as well as the docks over looking the bay. There is also an old fort and a bird sanctuary nearby.

I came on a whim wanting to get out of town and into a relaxing atmosphere, and this was a great choice! If you are in the area, I highly recommend this place. Reasonable admission price, on the small side, but a great spot highlighting the environments about the Alabama coast. The boardwalk highlighting the plants and animals is nice.

The kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed all of the exhibits, especially the touch tank! Petting the sting rays and seeing a hammerhead shark up close was extraordinary.

Great little aquarium to visit while on Dophin Island. They have a variety of marine wildlife, and they have a small pool with rays, fish, and a small shark you can touch and watch them feed them. It's right next to the fort. It was free to park at the aquarium.

Very nice educational aquarium, good place if you want to ride out a sunburn & not be in heat if day. We really liked the Ray tank they are very calm, will come up to you to be touched, they were feeding on side of tank so good views. The aquarium did great job laying out relationships between waterways leading to the Gulf. Had great ice cream cone at shop attached to end, gift shop was nice but not too many larger sized (adult ) tees in style we liked. But,nuts very small so stocking is likely a problem. Staff were super polite too.

Price was very reasonable..We touched stingrays and were taught about a few aquatic sea creatures..finished up by enjoying a delicious Ice-cream cone and buying a few souvenirs at the shops..The kids really enjoyed their day.

My associate and I elected to visit this aquarium, as we are interested in stingrays. A student discount was provided to us, though other discounts may apply. Unfortunately, we were unable to pet any of the rays, though maybe it was just our nerves that got in the way.The facilities were quite impressive and well-maintained, though they were not quite at the scope of other aquariums. This is not to the Sea Lab's detriment, however, as the exhibits they had were enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the chronicles of "Mr. Sand and his friends" on the boardwalk outside of the Sea Lab.In the gift shop, my associate and I found ourselves a new companion, an orange octopus by the name of "Daphne". Her presence on our trip was a welcome one. In addition, the concessions building was enjoyable. Customer service was exemplary.

Smaller aquarium but still worth the visit. They have some great displays that show off the local environment and so many hands on displays for kids (and adults). Great customer service and we appreciated the student discount for my wife and I who are both in school. It was a great visit!

This aquarium is very small but very well maintained and clean. There were plenty of hands on activities for patrons to experience and the kids loved it! The staff at each area were super friendly and knowledgeable about the sea life on display.The ONLY thing I had an issue with was the girl working at the snack/ice cream store oustide. A customer asked what was cool around to do as this was their first day here and the girl said "to be honest, the island is pretty boring and there's not a lot to do unless you want to get eat up by mosquitos". She was pretty nonchalant and uninterested in even anything positive about her home place.

Perfect aquarium for all ages. It’s no Monterey Bay Aquarium but there are so many neat exhibits and displays that everyone will find something interesting to see or touch. There’s a cute gift shop also and the living marsh outside which was my favorite part. Love living on the Gulf coast!

Loved seeing all the different fish. Not a huge aquarium only takes an hour or so to enjoy everything. The tank of rays that you can touch is the highlight of the place.

Great place! Lots of interesting animals to see and outside they have an area where you can touch some, like stingrays, horseshoe crab, small hammerhead sharks, etc. Awesome place to visit and very reasonable prices.

Great experience. Showcases our Gulf Coast marine habitat. Just a short distance to the ferry and Fort Gaines. We will visit again!

Small aquarium but very nice!! We spent about 2 hours there. They have stingrays that you can touch and very informative. They have a small gift shop and a snack bar area.

We had a great time. My three kiddos enjoyed it. There was some standing water but that's to be expected. The steps are steep. None of this stopped us our journey. Take the small dirt roads for more history and exploring! We had fun guessing what the rooms were. We spent a little over an hour.

What an intricate structure. It’s eerie to imagine the number of soldiers who died an honorable death in battle on these grounds. I’m not a huge history buff but this was an awesome and interesting place to visit especially if you take the time to consider the people that walked this ground so long ago. There some very steep stairs in certain areas and lots of just normal stairs too. Totally worth the $8. Plan to spend about 1-2 hours there depending on how long you wander. Take an umbrella for the spots that are not shaded.

Such a great place to visit. Especially if you are remotely interested in military/war history. Even our teenagers were impressed with this place, and never asked to hurry up and leave. It is just beautiful and so interesting. The gift shop has some cool stuff too.

A really neat place to see rich in history. I recommend taking a guided tour I that is an ooption. We got there close to closing so did not have that option. So many areas to explore. It was mice that there was also a beach access on site. Note you DO have to pay parking to get in so plan accordingly to be there long enough to make it worth your time!

I would definitely visit again. This place is so cool to see! The entrance fee is def worth paying. The sun is intense and there is no shade. Wear sunscreen. The dog friendly beach is great! We saw two dolphins swimming offshore. We found some fantastic, large shells.

The fort was an interesting place to explore with tons of history and amazing views. The museum on the premises was very informative with lots of displays and artifacts.If you are a photographer this place has amazing structures and in my opinion an amazing site for photo sessions. You would have to research the rules on this yourself. I had fun taking photos of our kids in many of the amazing architectural spaces at the fort.

Fort Morgan is a historical site in Alabama. It is right on the beach and it's about a 30 minute drive from the hotel zone/strip in the Gulf Shores. It has a nice little museum and the fort itself is very well maintained. Great spot to take kids too if you're on a family vacation. Not too expensive either. If you're ever in the Gulf Shores or vicinity, you should definitely check it out.

Very cool place for any history buffs. Lots of history here starting with the French. Not far from Gulf Shores and you can take the ferry over to Daphne.

Really enjoyed learning about the history of Fort Morgan and walking these grounds. I found myself imagining the life of the soldiers and sailors that served and what it was like when the fort was operational. The museum also provided a great historic timeline of information about its construction through to its deactivation. As military retiree I received a discounted entry.

Absolutely amazing. The history this location holds is amazing. Be sure to read up on the history of the fort before you make your way through the Sally port. This location was prime protection area post 1812 all the way up to 1945. Pack some water if you plan on walking the grounds and checking out the many interior and exterior exploration.

I came out to Fort Morgan with my son during our visit to Orange Beach. The drive was about 30 minutes from our place. This is a really fun place to visit and learn about if you like history. Also has a great view of the coast and Mobile Bay. My son is 3 so we used the stairs created in later additions to reach the upper areas of the fort. The stairs from the initial construction are very steep and do not have an outside railing. Also the upper area has nice views of the fort but would not be a place for kids to run. The ground is uneven and the railings are not high. Overall, loved coming here as did my son and would definitely recommend, just be aware of hazards.

It was a nice place to see. We wish there had been a guide to tell you about things as you toured the fort as they have at other forts. There are some cool places to take pictures there. We even saw the Blue Angels practicing. The price was $8 for adults or $20 for a family of 4.

If you enjoy history this is an interesting place to stop. Admission is $8/adult and less if you're a child/senior. The fort is very intact and preserved and very cool to explore. You can explore the fort and on your own and learn more of the intricacies at the museum which is small but packed with information. Definitely worth a stop. If stairs are a struggle, it will be difficult to explore the whole fort but you can still see quite a bit without having to do stairs. We even saw dolphins in the bay while we were exploring.

This fort is worth checking out if you’re in the area! The grounds appear to be kept up pretty well and almost every part of the fort is accessible. The only downfall is I wish they’d do some sort of audio tour or guided tour. It would’ve been nice to get a more in depth education on the facility and the various rooms.

Very clean historical site. A lot of information is given. I particularly enjoyed reading the old handwritten letters by soldiers. I visited on December 11th while taking a break from hospital runs to see extended family/friends.

Fort Morgan State History Site. Very nice museum. Clean and well stocked restrooms. Friendly staff. Love the self guided tour. Lots and lots of history here. Very interesting architecture and progression of building throughout the years. Fun to explore all the rooms and climb up and down looking into all the nooks and crannies. Great for kids and history buffs alike.

So much of this historic fort is so well preserved. It's so cool to just walk around and see it, and even better if you read about or listen to the presentation on its history. The grounds are well kept and it is at a beautiful and scenic location. Well worth a visit with the whole family.

On the way to the Mobile Bay Ferry, had enough time to visit Fort Morgan, and we were not disappointed. Historic fort originally built in the 1800s had served the United States for many years before decommissioned and turned into Park museum. Was a wonderful place to explore even as an adult.

Very unique old fort. Be sure and bring a flashlight some of the underground facilities are dark and not let. The old houses are unacceptable but still a neat walk around. Quite a few stairs. Watch out for snakes

We really enjoyed our visit to Fort Morgan. We enjoyed being able to walk around the fort and explore on our own. The location of the fort and the surrounding area make it an awesome experience.

Really enjoyed this part of my trip in 2019. And of all the forts I have seen in the south this I think is the best and a must see if you have time in the area. You can see some of this fort and the one across the bay if you take the ferry.

One of my favorite forts so far. It’s really large and Cooper had a wonderful time climbing and sniffing. I love that he was allowed here. We only choose dog friendly activities when Cooper travels with us.We spent about 3 hours here.Full entry $8.00discount for David retired military $4.00Children,College Students and Seniors $5.00Dogs Free🐕😂

We were in town for vacation and decided to drop by. I love history and enjoyed this place very much. It was amazing to see how the fort transformed with the times. There was also a very good lecture about the fort given by a gentleman there. He is only there on certain days so I highly reccommend calling to ensure he will be there.

The museum was so interesting and educational. It helps bring history to live to see these things and walk through the fort. The fort is a fabulous photo opportunity at every turn. Thebeach is expansive. We didn't hours there and could have honestly spent longer.

From the marina to the historical site, this is a great experience for a family day. There was so much to see and walk through. Everyone should come here.

Was a lot of fun for the kids and adults to explore and to learn. Beautiful settingBe aware Lots of stairs not very Handicap friendly. Very few resting areas. That is why I only gave 4 stars.

Such a great historic sight that spans several timelines. The sight is incredibly restored and cared for which allows the guests to not just see where history happened but to visualize it. There was a guest instructor the day we visited which added to the value. The steps are steep but getting a feel for the whole fort is worth the effort if you're able. Lots of great photo opportunities. It's a drive but well worth it, it's probably the biggest fun surprise we had during our week exploring.

Cool piece of history. The architecture is amazing. Holds up to time.Visit the small museum for additional information on the people who lived (or died) there.Beach Access

Fort Morgan is a fascinating place to visit. It's easy to imagine the fort bustling with activity over the 100+ years it was in operation. The museum has a lot of great educational information on the fort and it's history. I would definitely recommend visiting Fort Morgan if you're in the area.

A gem for the history buffs. Super old bay fort with tons of facts plasters across the facility. Tons of open spaces to explore. Small museum with a gift shop. Also, snacks and vending machines. The grounds will be ankle deep with water in some places if you go after a short rain storm.

So much history! The costumes are colorful and vibrant, the displays are nicely done. I had such a nice time learning about the history of Mardi Gras!Definitely worth the visit.

Nice museum with some interesting memorabilia from Mardi Gras. I never realized how much of an investment the festival encumbered.I also don't understand all the mystic societies that are represented. It's pretty obvious that the festival was very segregated for most of its existence. It would have been nice if that aspect of the history was addressed in the museum.The museum is self directed with an app that describes the different stations of the tour. There are 70 or so stations, so it does take some time to complete the tour.

Was visiting family and never been to Mobile. Googled what to do and this was on the list. We happened to catch a tour and this guide knew everything about everything. It was very informative and entertaining! Learned so much about this unique area. So much fun!!!!

What a unique place ! Super fun if your into the history of Mardi Gras ! Definitely worth a visit ! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

We arrived shortly after 3, really not enough time to see everything before closing, so plan to come back another time to see more! But we had fun while there. And the lady working the gift shoppe was a lot of fun. It’s really a must do if you love Mardi Gras. Allow yourself a couple hours so you can take your time and peruse.

Learned a lot coming to this great Museum. Mobile Alabama, the home of Mardi Gras. The costumes are amazing and learning about the origins was definitely worth the tour. At only $8 you can not go wrong! People are very friendly and knowledgeable!!

A must see if you're in the area. So much history on the Mardis Gras. Beautiful gowns and costumes from years past. Not expensive to tour either!

The Mardi Gras Museum is one of my favorite things in Mobile. The eight dollar admission includes a ten minute film, a float room where you can take photos on a float that feels like it's moving, picture opportunities to be queen and king and a creepy looking fire truck. Then a lot of mardi gras memorabilia including dresses and dresses. Really cool ongoing tradition.

Walked in and paid $8 per ticket. We received a guided tour by Craig who was amazing and full of information about the history of Mardi Gras and mobile. I learned so much and would love to come back to Mobile to experience Mardi Gras in the future.

I've always associated Mardi Gras with New Orleans so this was a very eye opening experience. Well worth the price of admission. Our docent Katherine (hope I spelled her name right🤞) was such a doll! Very knowledgeable and pleasant. The costumes on display are SO elaborate and beautiful!! Such a rich history with so much tradition, pomp and circumstance. Highly recommend.

It was an interesting museum that taught us a lot of the Mobile Carnival. We had to watch a 10 minute video on it which was very slow but interesting. Then we got to see some floats and outfits but I do believe it was overpriced than what we got.

Very interesting, learned about Mardi Gras beginnings in Mobile. Beautiful clothing displays from previous Kings and Queens, very elaborate! Float designs, historic photos, and much more. Worth a visit! Helpful guides throughout the museum.

Had a great time exploring the museum with Fountain City Mardi Gras Royal Court in Alabama and Columbus Georgia area. It was a Great hearing the history behind it

Julie, our Tour Guide, was will be versed, very informative, and a lovely person. She really made you feel at home. History and timeline are remarkable. If you're not aware of the origin and history of Mardi Gras, be sure to attend. It was my 2nd time visiting the museum. My roots or of New Orleans. It's great to wise where it all started. Thank you again, Ms. Julie

Bigger than it looks. Lots of history regarding mardi gras. It's a self tour, you can access on your phone.

A very unexpected experience at this place. So much history and the displays are simply insane. As we walked from room to room enjoying the craftmanship that was on display was one of a kind for us. The colors and designs are so unique you can’t believe it’s real. A fantastic way to spend a few hours enjoying the history of Mobile and suck up some A/C. Stop and check it out.

Fun museum and excellent tour. Besides the amazing displays, all volunteers at work here are amazing. The tour guide (Mrs. Jeanie) had a lovely explanation of everything going on. Afterwards, another colleague (apologies, we didn't catch your name) went out of her way to help us with tips on what to do around the city. We took up many of those, and our time in Mobile was a more rich experience because of it. This museum and all it's lovely people are highly recommended.

Absolutely a Great , Unique Museum, easily accessible from the Main Road. Plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The museum was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms and a Gift shop available.The displays were incredible, the amount of history and historic articles are super.Guided Tours are available and Cille (I hope I spelled it right), was incredible with her knowledge of not only the museum but the city.In the area, it's a definite place to Visit.

Very informative. We opted for the guided tour, which gave us all kinds of extra info, but took us a long time to get through the museum. I would recommend a self guided tour if your going with young kids.

Very interesting information, I really enjoyed it. So much history it was amazing.

Employees really make this place as amazing as it is! They are passionate about what they do and are proud of their culture! Museum flowed well and exhibits were beautiful! There's a short video to watch before touring and a number to call to tell you info about each exhibit. The gift store was good too! We got moonpies and enjoyed them on the front porch before we left.

This experience was amazing we spent 6 hours touring this site. Everyone should visit to better understand history. This museum provides a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices that were made defending our freedom. Donations are appreciated to help preserve this priceless piece of history! The retired volunteer service personnel were a wealth of knowledge. This would make a great class or group trip.

The folks who handle this park have truly done a wonderful thing. With the limited support they get, things keep improving and more and more history is restored! The USS Drum and USS Alabama are great places to bring your family! They have a great system for you to view the ship and have done a wonderful job at preserving these two great monuments! They also host several events throughout the year! If you are any where near or just love history this place is for you!!!!! If you go make sure to plan a full day! They have so much to view and read. They also have a gift shop and food cart!

What a wonderful place. It is loaded with so much memorabilia from keeps, planes, submarine and of the USS Alabama battleship.Self guided tour of everything but very informative plaques and papers and the battleship is well marked with colors and numbers.You can go into both the submarine and the Alabama.So much history and so much you don't know.The only problem is it can be cold and slippery. Make sure you dress for it. Plan to spend 4 hours easily.

Wear comfortable shoes because you don’t want to miss a thing on this ship or the submarine with your grandchild! Fascinating stories, delightful perspectives from every member of the ship’s crew, and info on ALL aspects of naval life including a glimpse into the Captain’s Quarters. Sit behind the gunnery & armaments to feel their power while goosebumps shiver up your spine or just try to imagine life in those confined spaces on board. Quite an adventure.

Amazing museum! Very glad I got to go! I only went on the "yellow" your (magazine, guns, and superstructure) but there were many other self-guided tours that I would have liked to go on. Regardless, it was an amazing museum! USS Drum was also very nice as well! Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area!

We spent hours here exploring the ship and submarine.So many places to explore, up and down stairs (wear comfortable shoes). The ship is well-maintained and you will learn a lot about the sailors life at sea.The tour is self guided, so make sure you grab a brochure. It's super big and you're able to go into most of it.Take your time and really appreciate all the work they've put into maintaining this amazing ship.

This place was awesome. Enjoyed the rich history. Enjoyed the submarine experience. Above all my favorite thing was the engine room of the shop. Hands down some of the coolest things. Our scout troop stayed the night and I would have enjoyed spending more time on board had I of known they allowed people to explore so much of the ship. This was fantastic for the boys to explore around just as much as it was for the adults. I absolutely recommend visiting and staying the night if you can. Be aware the racks you'll sleep in are very rigid so expect to basically feel as though you slept on the floor. Hope this is helpful.

Amazing experience: We got to learn about the ship and the submarine.I took us like a good 2 1/2 hours to walk the ship and submarine, we enjoyed it, but some parts are very hot, bring water with you.

Lots of fun here! It's great that you have a self tour. You can view the vast size of the historic battle ship, submarine, and aircraft inside the building. It takes several hours if you want to view everything in detail. Rich history to learn indeed.

There is so much to see and everything is well cared for. It is too bad that the self guided tours lacks any information aside from notating stops. And the ship itself doesn’t have much in the way of placards.The submarine is much better in terms of descriptions.This would be an excellent museum if everything was well labelled with a good dose of storytelling prose.Expect to spend at least 3 hrs

Amazing experience! We visited USS ALABAMA and USS DRUM with family (two adults and three small children) and had a great time. Nevertheless there are some downsides about this place.It’s a self-guided tour so if you’re familiar with military history/service then lot of the things are pretty much self explanatory. However, for those who’re not familiar with military equipment and history this experience may not be so much fun.Also, be prepared to go through very tight entrance/exit and steep stairs. If you have knee problems you may not be able to fully enjoy this visit unfortunately.Moreover, admission rates are rather high in my opinion ($18 per person regular admission for adults and $15 w/Veteran discount + $5 parking fee no exceptions) for it being a public memorial park. It would’ve been nice if the rates were somewhat lower. Even with a veteran discount the rates are still high. Fees really add up especially if you’re visiting with a larger group.Lastly if you have a wheelchair or a baby stroller/wagon you’re going to have a problem accessing 85% of the park site.All in all there’s plenty of interesting and fun things to explore. You can take lots of interesting and unique pictures in and around the battleships. Our family had a fun and enjoyable visit. If any of the above mentioned “issues” don’t bother you then this a great place to visit for sure.

The hubs is a history buff, so we knew we had to stop at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park on our way back to Texas. We should have planned for more time!Parking is $5, so you can enjoy all the outdoor exhibits. To visit the USS Alabama is an additional fee, but there are discounts for the military and AAA members.Here's my first tip: plan for a 3 to 4 hour trip. We spent a good amount of time on the first of three self tours. The battleship is astounding! I cannot say that enough. Everything looks so small from afar and then you're standing beside the biggest guns you may have ever seen. That changes the conversation.Keep in mind there are other exhibits on the ground, so wear your walking shoes. That's tip number 2. We parked the car and walked all the way to the dock to get a great view of the battleship.Here's the last tip: bring your camera and have a good time. And do watch the film. It's about 25 minutes and it's a great history lesson.

This was fantastic! The tour is self guided so you can really absorb the details of what you're seeing & not feel rushed. There are great displays throughout the ship that depict life aboard the ship. The entire experience makes you really appreciate the sacrifice these men made. The tour took us about 3 hours, but you can also tour a submarine and a static display of planes inside the hanger. I wouldn't suggest the tour with small children but it would be great if the children are "Scout" age or older.

We loved the 3 different self guided tours with the arrows and the numbers to follow, it was excellent and super easy! Fascinating piece of history with little factoids all along the tour routes. The inside was nice with the a/c but topside was awful with the heat, we really wanted to go all the way to the top but the metal rails were burning our hands. The hanger with all the planes was awesome as was the sub, the USS Drum. There really needs to be a light at the entrance/exit to the park because getting in and out was a nightmare. All in all a great experience though and lots of fun.

The USS Alabama is such an impressive ship to see. The entire place has so many interesting planes and vehicles to see, including an actual WWII submarine. The food in the cafeteria was very good, with excellent service from the hard working gentleman who worked there.

This is an amazing memorial museum. There is a ton to do and even more to see. We did self guided tours on the Alabama Battleship, and on the submarine. We enjoyed spending time exploring and comparing the ships. We have been to other Navy boats and this was great. This was the first battleship we explored so it put all the guided missile cruisers and smaller boats into prospective. This thing is huge. Bring your walking shoes. Check out those 16 inch guns and the rounds for it. Worth every minute !Plan to bring the family !

Extremely fun place to take the whole family. I would plan on 2.5 hours for USS Alabama and another hour for USS Drum. Gift shop has some fun memorabilia so plan on spending a little bit of time there. The inside of the ship can get very warm in sections with less air conditioning. Definitely bring plenty of water and good walking boots! Very educational and informative.The self guide tour paths are clearly marked out so you will not get lost. Highly recommend doing the outside (yellow) tour early in the morning while the temperature is still low.There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. The cafeteria at the memorial did not have any staff so I was not able to eat there.Will definitely be back with more family member in the near future!

Spent the day at this fun and informative site. Had a great time looking at the wide variety of planes, tanks, and the ships themselves. Highly recommend at least a half day visit to truly explore the battleship and other exhibitions.

What an amazing place to spend time, learning about history, and experiencing some of it firsthand. While we arrived late in the afternoon and decided to wait to take a tour of the ship, my son and I were able to spend a couple of hours looking at all kinds of military aircraft and other hardware. Even got a chance to talk to some of the airmen who were restoring some of the old aircraft. An amazing experience, and one that we will definitely return to again and again.

The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is a must-see historical location in Mobile, Alabama. Within the park, you can tour the grounds and the pavilion with aircraft, tanks, artillery, boats, and memorials to explore during your visit. The USS Drum submarine and the USS Alabama Battleship are both WWII vessels you may board and tour. Discover how the USS Alabama was saved from the scrapyard in Puget Sound and brought to the Memorial Park. She is a well-kept historical landmark that had a extraordinary career.

The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is so much more than just the ship. Touring the ship is great and should not be missed, but there is so much more. Aircraft and tanks of every type and separate memorials to Korea and Vietnam veterans as well. On the day we visited there were young people in period uniforms that greatly enhanced the experience. A truly great place to stop.

Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area. This place had a similar feel to the air and space museum in D.C. Don’t miss out on the submarine the USS Drum right next door and included with your ticket!It’s 5 bucks to park and 18 dollars each for adult tickets. I would say the price is worth it considering we got there around 1:30 and stayed until 3:30 and we didn’t even do everything, we could have also done the other routes on the Alabama. It’s good value, fun, and educational.

Words can’t describe how great our visit was. This is a must see for kids and adults. The battleship is massive, wear comfortable clothing and shoes, there’s lots of climbing for those interested in seeing all it has to offer. They’ve done a wonderful job making it interesting and educational all while making it feel as if you’re allowed to explore wherever you want. Obviously that isn’t the case but it’s not all roped off like it could have been. Big takeaways…to see everything takes at minimum 4-5 hours, please see everything, it’s worth it. Bring a lunch, there’s plenty of picnic tables and even some grills. Lots of climbing but moving around the main deck is fairly easy. This place is so impressive and became the highlight of our trip!

Nice pier and lots of friendly locals showing us their catch. Restaurant wasn’t open but very picturesque area for capturing memories by photo. Worth a visit! A playpark nearby on the beach for the kids

We heard the sunsets are amazing here! So, we had to see for ourselves. Th is is a pretty cool place to walk, sit and relax.

Sunset experience feeds the soul! Feeling the sea breeze and watching the colors is so relaxing. We saw a pod of dolphins, saw someone catch and release a small shark, and saw a variety of families enjoying this place together.

We were displaced for 2 weeks due to Ida. The whole town was welcoming. The pier was a great place for us to fish, kids play on the beach, and throw out a cast net to take our minds off of everything.

Great public pier and large park. Great view of the bay area. It appears some one is remodeling the restaurant with a new vision to be opening sometime in 2023 spring

Beautiful place to spend time at sunset. Sunsets are gorgeous and serene.

Off work early. So I plugged into the map someplace I can walk towards water. This municipal Pier came up. And it was close enough to me. Pleasantly surprisedBeautiful well kept pier. Fishing with permits is allowed. Along the pier you will see it water spigots and trays with measurements built right into the deck. Quite a walk out onto the pier with lots of benches to sit and watch the water. No boats were docked when I was there but it appears there are many docking stations. Renovating the restaurant that is there so there might be construction going on when you arrive. New restaurant coming in the spring 2023. Just caught the sunset. Beautiful. Saw few birds standing on Martin houses.Free to park.

We just so look forward to our sunset walks @ the big pier. It was gorgeous Sunday nite

Nice to view Mobile Bay. Well maintained and mancured area.

I've been coming here for over 30 years. If I'm anywhere nearby and don't have to rush off somewhere else right away, I will make the trip here. Absolutely beautiful. Well . . . if you're into scenic overlooks, glorious sunsets, nearby coffee shops, bucolic little towns, refreshing walks, fountains, fishing, people watching, dog watching (sometimes very similar), or just soaking up the warmth of the sun on a gorgeous pier. If you're not into those things, you'll enjoy driving around the circle. Please don't hit my truck.

I love walking out on a good pier. My difference on the one is that I did it at 1am. So quiet without all the people 😁. The sound of the water is so soothing and peaceful. Looking out over the bay with all the lights is something that just needs to be soled in. In my enjoyment I forgot to take pictures sorry.

Nice little pier overlooking the bay, some walking trails and statues/fountains are nearby too

A quiet, peaceful place to go and relax.

What an ethereal gulf spot. There were a good number of nice folks around. I appreciated the folks giving away cold drinks. It's a great pier to walk about and just enjoy the beauty around. If you can catch a night time lightning storm across the bay from the Pier, enjoy.

Fairhope is a manicured small town on the Gulf of Mexico. Good food, lots of shopping.

Great fishing spot, sunset viewing point, and overall fun family location

Love walking on fairhope Pier looking forward to the restaurant to open up on fairhope Pier

Great place to watch a sunset with someone you love. Also great fishing and a nice park/swimming area for the kids.

Sometimes very windy, but other than that it is beautiful and fun to visit! Especially when it’s warm weather.

A view across Mobile Bay with great wildlife.

Another relaxing evening on the Fairhope Municipal Pier, watching the sun set as a cooling breeze adds a physical touch to the beauty.

This is a great place to watch the fisherman/women in hopes of seeing a fish or shark. Unfortunately, the pier has been damaged by the hurricane and it's only about half as long as it used to be. It's $3 to park for 2 hours and $2 per person to go onto the pier. They also offer fishing gear (but I'm not sure of those fees). This does have beach access as well so pack everyone up and head to the beach.

There are nearly 28 miles of trails, crossing through nine ecosystems, in Gulf State Park. Each ecosystem contains a diversity of flora and fauna, making the trails ideal for nature enthusiasts. This pier was at sunset and we saw alligators along the trail.

This is a great sport for public access to the beach. I visited a sunset and the parking lot/ section of the beach wasn’t even full. If you’re not staying at a place with direct access to the beach, I would recommend coming here.

Lovely views from the pier.We even saw a shark! It was a cool experience for sure.You have to pay to park depending on the hours you plan to spend there.There's a restaurant and snack bar on site.My five year old wasn't having the best time so we didn't stay long. Next time we would like to explore more and stay awhile longer.

Pier is always great to fish off. As a vacationer and likes to fish. Knowing when the fish are running is another story 😉😂😂😂😂 local knowledge is always the key and way to know and understand the times and what species are around the pier.It's a shame that at this moment in time state funding isn't where it should be to re-build the end of the pier. However hopefully the start of the next fiscal year. Staff are great and friendly?. I would recommend several visits ☺😉👍

A great beach location to spend the day. Plenty of parking . The pier is a nice walk and a wonderful view even if your not into fishing . If possible check out the sunset from this location. It is beautiful!

I absolutely love the piers in the south. The views are beautiful and this pier is "fancier" than Pensacola's pier. There are amenities on the pier; bathrooms both up near the front and also down the pier itself. I would say it's a fisherman's dream as well because of all the fish-cleaning resources. The sights aren't as good as Pensacola, but it's still a good visit.

It's a nice place, but have your wallet ready! Pay to park, pay to walk out on the pier, and pay to be able to look at souvenirs. My son wanted a shark tooth necklace, they wanted $3 each just to enter the "educational" area to look at them. I understand that they are taking the $ for upkeep and repairs, but it would be nice if it would all be covered in one fee or a park pass like a normal state park.We had a nice time out on the pier, we saw dolphins playing and some jelly fish.

What a well-kept facility! The parking cost is very reasonable, dare I say cheap. $3 for two hours is the minimum. The pier costs $4 per person to walk it, fishing from of it is more. The bathrooms are clean and well functioning. There is a bar you can sit and drink at without paying to walk the pier. The sites from the pier are great. You can see Gulf Shores public beach and buildings to the West. You can access the public beaches here, too. No pier access needed to go to the beach. You just have to pay to park.

An easier place to get to the shore than the public beach access in town. Cheaper parking, too. The pier was damaged so you could only visit half, but it was still lovely and worth the two dollars. My kid enjoyed watching the fishing and there was seating at the bar area for us to watch a storm roll in. (We came early in the morning, so the bar wasn't open.)

Was my favorite place to visit when at gulf shores been waiting to book my stay since it's in repair. Website says the pier is supposed to be open this summer. Summers over no website update. Is it running late??? I don't see a recent update yet... When's is now scheduled for opening???

This pier is a great option to see the gulf. Although it was quite busy, we were able to walk out with no wait time and hang out for 20-30 minutes.It does cost some money to park, but you are able to get in for free if you’re staying at the state park campground.

We love the strawberry banana lemonade you can get for $3.00 at the restaurant on the pier! The pizza is definitely worth a try too! You can get some really great pictures from the view at the restaurant as well. If we've had enough sun, we set up spot under the pier, by the water, for maximum shade coverage all day without needing an umbrella. The bathrooms here are always clean as well so that's an added bonus!!

You have to pay for parking. Then go inside and pay 2 dollars per person to walk out the pier and site see. There are ALOT of fisherman, so be mindful when walking down through there. Several close calls as they were casting their lines. The pier hasn't been repaired yet from the hurricane damage, so its only about half the normal distance out. But the views are still beautiful.

I enjoyed being able to see sharks, sea turtles, sting rays and dolphins. The fact they allow veterans in for free was very nice. Plan to pay for parking. Part of the pier is still not complete since the last hurricane wiped it out. There is a $2 cost for adults to sightsee. If you want to fish, the access fee is higher.

Great day at the Gulf Shores State Park Pier. Fishing is hot! Come get some!PIER UPDATE - 5/20/2024. -- The pier will be closed till the end of summer per Mr. Travis Miller the pier manager for DNR. 😭

Loved the pier. If you just wanna come walk I would recommend you to buy the 2 hour ticket for parking. But if you plan on fishing and coming back buy the all day ticket because you’re including the fishing and parking lot for the whole day for $10

This pier is a must visit my spouse loved it he went yesterday with my son while I was out of commission with a stomach ache, and today I felt better and went with him so he can fish again. You can catch a decent amount of fish here, even for a beginner. You do need to pay to stay for people, not and fishing here. Pay for parking also either at meter or when you pay to be on pier. There is a beach right next to it, too.

Love the area, we have never actually walked onto the pier, but think it’s a shame they have not fixed it all the way. But it is definitely one of our favorite places for photo ops

Beautiful pier but you have to pay and we left our cash in the hotel room 2 miles away. Next time. We were just happy to be at the beach and got a beautiful sunset on our walk back down the beach!

This is a small zoo. It has been in this are for 3 years. The animals seem to be well taken care of. The rides, zipline ride or zoo train were not running and cost extra. For the $25 ticket price it is disappointing. We past several keepers none of which spoke to us. The only keepers that were friendly was at the petting barn. They were awesome! This is a once and done. We visit zoos around the world.

We had a great time here, we went for my husband's birthday and we did the lemur experience which was too cool! There was also an area where we could feed different types of animals. It is a smaller zoo but well worth the price!!!! We will be back!

We have never been to this zoo, and it sure is the "Little Zoo that Could!" We are on a family vacation with 4 children 5 and under. They all had fun and were so excited to see all the animals. We arrived right at 9am and all the animals were ready to show off!We even got to watch the keepers interacting and providing enrichment which was such a cool experience. You can tell the workers loved the animals and are really dedicated to the care and treatment of the animals.It took us around 2-2.5 hours to go around the whole zoo so it won't be a full day trip, but it will definitely be a wonderful stop to make on your trip to Gulf Shores!

What a lovely zoo! We went right when it opened and it was very peaceful. It’s very clean and well kept, all of the animals seemed to be very relaxed and happy. We ended up walking around the loop twice and that gave us an opportunity to see some of the animals that were still sleeping when we first showed up. We will come back if we are in the area again!

The zoo was a fun small day trip! My partner and I were able to walk the whole zoo in less than an hour but was very humid and hot so most of the animals were just laying down or hiding. The gift shop had a few fun things but not a large selection. For the price of $22.95 was a bit much for the time we spent. It came out to $50.40? Something like that for less about an hour. We decided to do the lemur encounter and we had a lot of fun! It was 24.95/pp but was fun! We wanted to do the kangaroo interaction but was informed that was more for educational purposes and if we wanted more interaction to do the lemurs. So glad we did. At first they were shy but then they got active and climbed all over us and licked us. We got to pet them and take plenty of pictures that was well worth the money.

We stopped by here on a road trip and it was wonderful. Staff was pleasant and everything from the path, to the gift shop, to the restroom was very clean. We arrived around 1130 and left around 230-3. We saw a lot of animals and even had a few chats with the keepers as they tended a few of the enclosures who were very knowledgeable and willing to spend some time with us. There is a garden section which was a pleasant surprise as I haven't seen that at a zoo before and you are able to take a walk and sit on benches provided. It was a beautiful landscape area that has a cute little chicken coop. There is a stage for performance although there was not one scheduled during our visit. There is also an area to watch alligators being fed that happens on Tues & Thurs. The gift shop was also awesome with items ranging from very inexpensive at 1$ to things created by artisans that are 50+. It worked out great for us as we had two little boys who were able to get something without it breaking the bank while I was able to get a cute shirt to remember our stop and warm up as the temp dropped unexpectedly on us!

The zoo is nice in that a family with small children can get through it with one trip. It has a normal small shop at the beginning for souvenirs. The first thing out is the giraffe feeding area but be careful if you want to take pictures of the yougins as the staff person stands on the wrong side for parents to get snap shots. Most of the exhibits have something in them and the kids are close to them for the most part. Lion can be pretty far off to see along with the alligators. Non of the vendors were open but a couple and I’m sure that is because we were here at the end of February. They had a nice play area for the kids about halfway.

The experience wasn’t horrible but was not the best experience, all of the animals were miserable looking and didn’t wanna move. The grass was not maintained so you can barely see the animals, the habitats were not kept up. The staff was not friendly or interactive with the patrons. Definitely have been to better zoos. For this zoo to be In the area it’s in and the price of the tickets it definitely could be kept up better and more interactive with the customers. I’m not sure how this is operating still honestly.

Awesome Zoo great price and plenty to do and keeps interest for kids and adults! The butterfly exhibit was a nice addition and probably one of our favorite things. We went around noon and unfortunately most of the cats were asleep and we never did see a male lion. But we will definitely be back!

It's ok. If you bought this as part of the ticket packages like an Alabama Fun Pass , it may be worth the visit. They need to add more shade to their playground and rest area. The extra experiences aren't worth the price. It does have a nice collection of animals and the park is clean and well maintained and has great bathrooms.

Feeding the giraffe was absolutely worth the money. All exhibits are close up so you get a good view and there are so many chances to interact with the animals. There are chances to feed the lemurs, cuddle the sloths, sing with the parrots. It's was week worth the money. Everything is handicap accessible and there are electric scooters available for rent.

The zoo is very small, we walked the whole place in 1 hour, most of the animals were inside of their habits because it was too hot.The total for 4 people was $92, including taxes.The kids loved the ride around the cows it cost $5.99 per personWe liked the zoo. My recommendation is to go early in the morning when it isn't too hot, you will probably get to see more animals.

Ok I love visiting zoo's and seeing animal but I was so disappointed in this one it looks great when you pull up. But they really need to put some money into this place and start by cleaning it up take the time to trim Grass and shrubs in the cages the poor animal looked bad as well for over 65 dollars for 2 adults and a child it definitely wasn't worth it. O and a lot of empty cages a lot

Fun small zoo. The experiences are affordable and worth it. We LOVED feeding the giraffes. The littles loved the merry go round. Easily can be done in 1-2 hrs

A small zoo, but nice big enclosures with lots of grass. I have never seen such relaxed cats in a zoo environment. All of the animals were relaxed and happy. Many would come to the front of the pens to look at the visitors.

We loved our visit! Such an affordable option for a zoo. Plenty of animals to see. Loved how close you get to all of them. Very clean and tidy. Disappointed the tigers weren't out though. But overall a fantastic experience! Our kids loved it.

While visiting Orange Beach decided to visit the local zoo. What a great place, helpful employees who did a lot of explaining of animals feeding. It was a great walk. A great day. All the animals are very interesting and especially loved the herb garden..

What a great zoo! We were very pleased with everything about it. It's clean, there's plenty of restrooms, they let you bring in your lunch or you can stop and pick up something from a pretty good variety of snacks and sandwiches from machines or go to a cafe. My daughter liked the carousel as well! Note that the carousel and the experiences are extra costs so read up on those before you visit. 👍

Had a wonderful experience. Quite the selection of animals to see. Enclosures looked well taken care of. The handlers were terrific with the animals. Cleanliness was great.

Had a great time. Must feed the giraffes if you go. Love all the cute little monkeys. Birds are so beautiful. Reptiles are so cool. The bear was cute 🥰 Thanks for a great Mother’s Day.

I’ve been bringing my children here since they were little and now I’m bringing my grandchildren. I love our little zoo. It’s not too big and by the time the kiddos are wore out, we are all done. Everyone is so hospitable and kind. Cute gift shop and love feeding Ben the giraffe.

We went on a windy, non-beach day and LOVED it! It is clean, new and very well laid out for ease of navigating. The exhibits were nice and close to each other, so it’s not a sprawling zoo like many we have visited…helpful when you’re with young kids! Good gift shop too!

I had the most incredible experience at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. 🐾 From the moment I stepped through the gates, I was immersed in a world of wonder and discovery.The zoo's commitment to conservation and education was evident at every turn. 🌿 As I wandered through the exhibits, I found myself captivated by the diverse array of animals and the informative signage that accompanied each one. 🦁🦦 Every species had a story to tell, and I felt privileged to learn from them.One of the highlights of my visit was the gift shop, which offered a delightful selection of souvenirs and memorabilia. 🎁 I couldn't resist picking up a few items to remember my time at the zoo, and each one served as a cherished reminder of the memories I had made.But perhaps the most unforgettable part of my visit was the private tour with a zookeeper. 🤝 Having the opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversation with someone so passionate about animal care and conservation was truly inspiring. 🌟 I learned so much about the inner workings of the zoo and the incredible efforts that go into caring for its residents.Overall, my experience at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo was nothing short of magical. ✨ From the educational exhibits to the unique opportunity of the private tour, every moment was filled with awe and appreciation for the natural world. 🌍 I can't wait to return and continue exploring all that this extraordinary zoo has to offer. 🐯🦒

Very nice small zoo. They offered feeding a giraffe for $5 during a certain time window...very worth it! It is a beautiful zoo, a nice layout also with a petting zoo of farm animals for small kids. They have a merry-go-round. You can take a small motorized car ride to see a few animals. Enjoyed the day at the zoo. Employees work hard and are very knowledgeable.

Such a beautiful zoo! Very clean with ample restrooms and benches. There were so many animals to see which was very unexpected. We saw tigers, lyons, monkeys, giraffes, lemurs, many types of local birds, etc. For an extra fee, you can feed the giraffes and have an opportunity to get up close and personal with several different zoo animals.There is a great little enclosed bird area with turtles where you can sit and watch the birds. They also have a great gift shop with wonderful gift items.Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We had a great time watching the animals and will definitely be back!

I loved taking my 1 year old niece . It is very nice and kept up. Only thing is you have to pay extra for everything just about . Wish there were more things that were included in the $25 admission fee. But other than that it’s wonderful, very family friendly.

Very nice zoo. Friendly staff. Wouldn't recommend the safari ride. It is$6 and lasts about a minute. You can walk the same area, so it's not worth it. The only reason for 4 stars is the restaurant. We decided to grab a bite for lunch. It was Sunday so it was a little busy. Little boy ordered a waffle that came out underdone. Our food came out 45 minutes after our drinks. My chicken frittata was warm but the chicken has the texture of jerky. Very dry. My wife's burger was cooked properly. It was the only meal of the 4 that was done properly.Realize this zoo is fairly small so it only takes a few hours to get through so take your time and enjoy the animals. We paid the $5/person to feed the giraffes. It's a fun experience. They have other experiences but due to the cooler temps they were unable to bring some animals out. All in all I'd go back in warmer temps so we can experience more. Hope this helps.

This place is so cool. The feeding show is great and the the owner was super knowledgeable and fun to talk with. He was like an American, southern back-roads Crocodile Hunter, he's the Alligator Rescuers!! The kids loved holding the baby alligator and albino python and feeding the big ones. I mean your right over some really big ancient beast, it is really awesome.

Loved this place. Bring a hat, water, and a hand-fan, because this place is sweltering. Was visiting Florida and had a great desire to see alligators, and this was a great place to do it. I didn't realize how big this place was until I got there, and just how many alligators they have. I didn't think to ask, but they must have around 300. They also have lizards, turtles, and snakes to see, which was cool. We got to see the end of the aligator feeding, so definitely plan your visit around their feeding times to catch that. We also got to hold one of their baby aligators, which was exciting. Overall, didn't have high expectations about this place, but was pleasantly surprised. Well worth the trip.

We had so much fun here! My kids are 14, 8 years old & 7 months old & everyone enjoyed seeing & holding the alligators. It's a very nice place & I like how they tell you a bunch of facts to learn about the alligators. Plus, all of the other snakes & reptiles there. We will definitely be going back!

We had a ton of fun here. The highlight for me was getting to hold a small alligator. It was so cute and so much lighter than I expected. The swamp area was beautiful and there were so many gators in there. We got to see them basking and swimming. If you like alligators and nature this is a great stop for a couple of hours.

This place was a very pleasant surprise. The property was well manicured and a nice walk. Everyone one working there was very friendly and made the experience great. The place is surrounded be farm land but once your there your teleported to swamp in the middle of no where. If possible catch one of the feedings, sure you get to see the creatures eat but the guy doing to feeding had a lot of really interesting information about the gators 🐊 that I had never heard. The swamp was really cool to stroll through, the wife has some arachnophobia but the banana spiders couldn’t scare her away from enjoying the swamp. Met an employee that was working in the swamp answering visitors questions about the gators, extremely knowledgeable man. Really good experience, I’ll bring family and friends when they come to town, great place

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Alligator Alley. It’s so cool to see them up close…but not too close haha! They have food which we all enjoyed throwing out into the water for the alligators. They also had lots of reptiles you could look at and even hold. We got to hold a snake and an alligator! 🐊 I really liked seeing the different ages as they grew. The swamp walk was pretty cool too. So many alligators everywhere and they were so BIG! We even heard one growl and now we know what dinosaurs probably sounded like. The guide/caregiver in the swamp was super friendly and helpful with our questions. I’m sure I’m missing things, but go visit if you get a chance.

Such an awesome experience! We even got to catch the 4:00 show/feeding! We had so much fun feeding them and my boys were excited to hold a baby gator!

We absolutely loved this place. So many alligators and snakes. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. It was extremely hot and the kids still had a great time feeding the alligators. We had a wide range of kids from ages 19 to 8 and all of them loved visiting this location. We were able to hold a baby alligator and a snake.

Fun family day at Alligator Alley! Being from PA, we don't get to see gators often. This feels like a small gator park at first but then it keeps going. This one feels more like a family passion than just a tourist spot. They excel at answering questions and spending time talking to guests. The back of the park offers a swampy area that is well worth the walk. We were fortunate to catch the swamp feeding as well as the bleacher feeding. We also enjoyed the various other creatures on display which created a great family memory all around. It was obvious they enjoyed what they do and they have fun doing it.

Alligator Alley was a cool experience.The employees are nice.The park is clean, safe and it looks well organized.The only thing I didn’t like was the price of the food to feed the alligators.It was $22 for a big bucket and $11 for refill,for a small bucket $6 and $3 for refill.To me that was a lot of money to feed their animals for our entertainment.

This place is sooo cool! There are hundreds of alligators, some snakes, and tortoises. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. We even got to touch and hold a small alligator. Our 4 year old was cautious, the 18 month old fearless. Most impressive is a massive boardwalk trail that meanders through a swamp.Place was clean, staff friendly, a fantastic experience all around.

Be sure to bring a sweat towel, a portable fan, or anything you might need to keep yourself cool! This was a very enjoyable experience, and seeing the alligators being fed was a first for me (I loved it immensely). Joseph fed them while we were there, and he did great. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

So fun and exciting! Gators didn’t seem over crowded and we’re semi separated by age. The staff has names for them which is nice to know they are cared for. Friendly staff and the person who fed the alligators was fun and informative. Learned some cool facts. Bleachers are in the sun, but it didn’t put a damper on our good time. There is a lovely room that has A/C to hang out and cool down for a few minutes. Also a snack bar that was reasonably priced. The “swamp” area was so cool- save some of your food for that part!

We had a lot of fun! My 5 year old was in alligator heaven! Even my one year old enjoyed throwing biscuits to the alligators!Cost:adult entry 17Child entry 15Cup of biscuits 6Bucket of biscuits 22

We had a great time and saw so many alligators! The kids loved tossing them the little snacks and getting to touch the baby alligator and the python! It was a hot day but the had lots of big ac units and fans set up as well as an indoor cool area about halfway through your walk. The feeding was cool to watch and very informative! Great little side trip on our beach vacation to Gulf Shores!

My husband and I loved Alligator Alley. We learned a lot and saw so much! This place is incredible! We bought 2 buckets of food pellets for the alligators and they loved it. Every person that we met were so knowledgeable and they really love the reptiles that they are caring for. We can hardly wait to come visit, again.

Our family has visited several times! Always a treat for us. Boardwalks and sidewalks throughout for easy access. I recommend taking a moment to snap a photo with the baby gator after feeding time.

Such a cool experience! I highly recommend making the trip to see these incredible creatures. Bring a camera with a zoom lens because they are so awesome to take pictures of!. Everything was clean and in a friendly environment, tons of gators to check out and lots of other cool critters as well. Highly recommend.

The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The grounds and alligators are well cared for. We had a great time learning more about them, and seeing them willingly interact with the gentleman teaching us all about them.

A great place to take kids. Adults will enjoy themselves as well. The staff was really friendly and informative. The trail is shaded and they have plenty of places with industrial fans to sit and get cool on. a hot muggy day! We all had a great time. I highly recommend giving Alligator Alley a visit.

The experience was again fantastic.Came here 10 years ago as a child with my family and I wanted to go again, by myself for souvenirs.Was scared to come in February, which is not the best season for alligators. However, I saw a lot of them and the staff… the staff is incredible, talk to them for minutes and it was fantastic !!They can explain a lot a things about their animals, the farm, the weather, etc.Let’s meet Captain Crunch !!! 🐊🐊

A lot of fun and adventure. All kinds of animals in the swamp. Lots of alligators baby’s and grown ones. We even got to hold one. Prices are affordable. Very safe. Employees were informational. Learned a lot about alligators. They also have a lot of rescues. They have snakes also and turtles.

We had a great time at Alligator Alley. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We got to feed alligators, watch their feeding show and learn more about them. The view is beautiful too and the trails are nice and shaded.

This place was great. A good place to take family, older folks as well. Pretty flat grounded walk ways.The talking points were good, informative, and knowledgeable about gators and more.Enjoyed tossing protein biscuits to the gators that actually ate them.Thanks for putting together a nice gator farm for all to enjoy.

This is a rescue organization that takes in nuisance alligators, mostly from Florida. The alligators live in a lovely swamp with plenty of room to wander. They continue to breed here so you can see alligators of all sizes (over 700). This was a fun detour from the Florida panhandle!

Visiting family in the Lillian area.Our visit to Alligator Alley was pleasant. Though it was in the winter to spring time (when the gators are not eating) it was a nice walk. You can have a birthday party there as well. Seating along the walking path for when you’re tired.Under $20 pp.

Had a great time. Got there around 1 PM for feeding time. Was able to hold a small alligator. Definitely buy a cup of food to feed the gators. Over 700 of them!

Great place! We got there in time for the feeding and really enjoyed the humor of the man feeding the alligators. The place is very well maintained and has a lot of information about the different animals, spiders you may see along the boardwalk. It was fun feeding the alligators.

First time here after a long awaited trip! Was truly a fun experience. Got to meet and hold Boots. I love him! Can't wait to go again when feeding season is in swing!

This is a great place for everyone. Informative and just all around fun. The feedings are a must see.The only thing you need to keep in mind is that these creatures need the warmth. So if you go on a 60 degree day they probably won't be doing much/eating much. I'd recommend going when it's warm. You'd probably see more action then.

Loved this place! For only $18 you can see a ton of their 700 alligators. Call ahead to ask when the feedings are so you don’t miss one. I got to hold a baby alligator after the feeding. It was also cool to spot “Captain Crunch,” who set the bite record. I spent 1 hour here.

Pleasantly surprised at this side stop for us! Ended up spending more time than we expected, definitely make sure to be there at feeding time!!! Place was clean and the animals seemed well cared for. Don’t miss going through the swamp area!

My husband and I went to Alligator Alley today with my 7 yr old, 4yr old, newborn, and we had a great time. Showed up at 12 and stayed until about 230. My boys enjoyed it. They got to hold a baby Alligator and pet 2 snakes! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth it to buy some gator food, if my boys threw it, they ate it up. Also the grounds are handicap accessible, my husband uses a wheelchair and got around great 👍

Workers were friendly and very informative especially Feeding Crew gentleman for the alligators. Holding alligator was an AMAZING experience for my grandson! ENJOYED seeing all the alligators, turtles, and snakes...😊

Heard this was a great place to camp, it was beyond what was expected. We had full hookups. We will be back. Our campsite was #14 and was perfect. Lots of trails and paths for bikes, walking and golf carts. The campgrounds are close to the beach and everything else that GULF Shores has to offer. Well worth the time we spent there. We had heard about the alligator sightings but we never came across one. Our 1st evening and we had a flyover by the Blue Angels...awesome!

Shelby Lake is really nice. My kids loved the okay ground. We ride bikes on the trails two days. The free rentals were great using the app, but everyone has to have a device to rent a bike. We didn't see a way to rent multiple bikes on one account. Luckily we all had our phones and could enjoy riding the trails as as family. It was fun and the scenery was nice.

Gorgeous state park! The beach is amazing, with miles of sugar-sand dunes. After playing in the water for a couple of hours, I cleaned off with an outdoor shower, then walked to the interpretive center and across the bridge toward the lake and campground. I saw some great views and the birds were singing!On the downside, the beach pavilion is closed for construction, so we had to use Portable Potties.I wanted to visit the Nature Center by the lake, but the road to the center went to the campground. I didn’t have time to figure out how to get through the gate without a camping pass, so I just left the park. Better signage would have been great.

We absolutely enjoyed this pier, I'm not sure if they are all this big but it was very spacious. We fished off of it for a couple hours and had a blast. There were handicap spots available as well, two sets of bathrooms drink machines on the end and a restaurant at the front of it, although we didn't eat there it smelt good! Staff was all super friendly and informative, we aren't from Gulf shores so we had a few questions they were happy to answer!

We think this is a great State Park, big spacious lots, we were in 255 which was a lake view very nice. The staff in the office were all very nice and make the check-in a very easy process.We loved the bike share, the miles and miles of trails are great and easy to ride on.With your park pass you can park and get on the pier for free, just take a picture of your pass to show the attendant. There is a path also that goes over the road and onto the beach which is nice. The bathhouses were really nice and the showers were good, we did notice a few of them around the park were closed due to repairs. In bathhouse 9 it wasn't cleaned on the men's side for a few days, I would think they would be cleaned daily. Another suggestion is have one of the bike share locations inside the park so you don't have to drive to get to the bikes. If in the area again we would for sure visit this park again.We visited Ft. Morgan , if in the area this is so worth the short drive to get there.Thank youPJV

Rent bikes 🚲 for FREE! This place is an awesome find! There are seven bike stations around the state park, download the free app BLOOM, scan the QR code, and then ride the bike around the 20 some miles of amazing trails, then just drop it back off at any bike station. You do have to enter a credit card, but in case you decide to take the bike home 😄, but if you return it safely, once you re-lock the bike, it’s free, $0. We love it, great for visiting family that didn’t bring their bikes. Enjoy!

Absolutely love camping here, going for the superb bike/walking trails and the serenity of the natural flora and fauna here.People here are so friendly and the amenities are great. The bathhouses with restrooms are clean, with areas for recycling and central garbage disposal, every camp site has a picnic table, and dog friendly with doggie bag stations near each bathhouse.Definitely recommend the campground for those who love camping.

Large sites that are quite. We had a great time riding bikes and exploring. $42 night so reasonable. Would love to have staid longer! Will definitely be back and stay longer.We were there for the 50th Shrimp Festival

This has become our top place to RV! The campground is very well maintained. It's an easy bike ride to the beach, or quick car ride. The exhibits were great, the staff friendly. The pool was very clean. It is also close to several other amenities in driving distance. We can't wait to go back!

Loved this park! Clean, beautiful. Wonderful beach, hiking and bike paths. Helpful, friendly people in the checking station.One suggestion:regarding shower house #1. It's tough to pull down that row with an RV when someone is parked in the first parking spot when you turn in.

I absolutely love Gulf State Park. My husband and I bike the many trails several days a week. The views are incredible. The beach pavilion and pier are great places to visit. The park offers many other things to do including an educational center, playground, dog park, and much more. I highly recommend visiting.

We stayed at the Lodge, which was wonderful. We had great access to the beach and to the park side. I hiked into Alligator marsh hoping to see a gator. I didn't see one, but enjoyed the natural surroundings. The park is handicap accessible and also has a van you can use so you don't have to walk forever. I highly recommend.

As weird as it may sound to some, stopping at the nature exhibit at the Gulf State Park was one of the best parts of our trip ♥️ myself, my oldest son, my youngest son and my oldest son's girlfriend went here and broke off from a group of 16. The other part of the group went to go putt putt and came back hot and miserable and had spent so much money. While in the meantime we were cool, relaxed and spent $2 to go see some very beautiful sights and see some amazing animals and the nicest, knowledgeable staff experience.

I loved the beach! It was clean and the sand was so soft and fluffy…. I actually took a very peaceful nap just listening to the waves lap against the shore! Will definitely want to go again!

Way too hot to and muggy to be outside for very long but the hotel is nice and the staff is accommodating. We were there for a work retreat, and the food was on point every day. We were served breakfast every day with super fresh fruit and multiple options to choose from. Lunch and dinner were always delicious with very well thought out menus. Way to go!

We have been utilizing the Gulf State Park since we moved here over a decade ago. The highlight for us is the miles and miles of bike and walking trails. Besides being a safe corridor for bikes between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, there is a ton of wildlife. We have seen gators, turtles, bobcats, snakes, and deer, as well as so many birds and fish. If you like fishing, Shelby Lake is a great place for bass, redfish, trout, and more. There are playgrounds, beach access, RV and boutique campgrounds, nature center, and even more. There is so much to do, well worth the visit if you are visiting the area or live here.

I walked for 4hrs and every step was worth it. This is hands down the most relaxing christmas I have EVER had and now i want to make it a bi annual event!! Everyone i passed was friendly and i was even offered water and told how to get an electric bike by a nice couple.concerned about how far I had walked 🤣🤣 This has been the best @8robinsonstv getaway ever!

The beach is a 4. Accomodations are a 3: The Lodge is so spread out it's a long hike to get anywhere because of the design to rightly protect the dunes. The campground is significant in size, and offers lovely cabins, yet doesn't offer a lot of shaded sites and requires a vehicle to enjoy the beach. Bikes are available and many people take advantage of the trails as a great option to experience the beauty of lakes.

We decided to try something different on vacation this year. We took an electric bike ride through the park…the park is beautiful, and there’s so much to see and do!we saw a mama gator and her two babies, two other gators, a massive wooden play structure (super fun), butterfly garden, Hidden Lake…and so much more!

I enjoyed my stay here. Did not have much luck with the weather but this is a great park with lots to see, do and a family friendly destination. Nice beach front area and offers a range of walking paths.

One of our favorite campgrounds Gulf State Park can be difficult to get reservations in March but we scored a five night stay. The bike trails are mostly flat and at 27 miles there's plenty to see and enjoy.

Camped for 2 weeks, wonderful! Even with the storms, always a relaxing vacation. Rode over 160 miles on bikes, and we enjoyed the pool, and laundry on-site is great. Can't wait to go back.

July 2024, 5 days camping with water, sewer, and electricity. The beach was nice and the water was warm. Family fun time. Swimming pool, visitor center, and 3 lakes to kayak on.The campground has over 400 sites for RVs and tents.The surrounding beach cities are fun to visit, shop, and plenty of restaurants.

This is a wonderful camp ground! It’s clean and very well organized.Staff was very nice and helpful. There are a few bath houses, a heated pool with splash pad, laundry, camp store, playground, bike rentals, and a nature center. I think there is probably a lot more that we just didn’t have the time to explore.The bath houses were very clean!You can walk to the beach that is not too far. There’s a walkway across the highway. The Bach facilities and the beach were also clean and nice.We didn’t get to go to the Nature Center.I think there is so much more to see and do.

It's a big park with a big campground, it's over 400 sites and it 99% full. We had to book it a long time ago. It had so much to offer. We love the bike trails. The shower is clean, and there is a strong water. It's nothing 6 it does the job. We would love to come back in the future and stay longer.

This was a magnificent visit. It had beautiful views, gorgeous walks. Very quiet and serene. I could’ve stayed here for days. Best of all there was no cost. A true testament to the best thing in life being free.

This place is beautiful. It gets you away from some of the more "touristy" areas in Gulf Shores, but only a few minutes away if you need to there. We stayed at The Lodge, and it was very nice, and the views were wonderful. It is the off season, and it was chilly during our stay, but that did not take away from our appreciation for this place.

The sites are large, level, and clean. The area is central to everything. Parking pass is included to many of the beaches. The trails are glorious. The pool is huge! Tennis court, fishing, hiking. The park has 11 washroom/shower facilities that are large and clean. The wifi is strong, and there are little bunnies bouncing around for the children.

Our last day at the beach my family and I went to Gulf Shores State Park. Its a pretty incredible place to visit. Clean bathrooms, load of places to sit down and eat specially under the Pavillion. So much beach front to walk on. My family and I truly loved this place and can not wait until next year to return. Just to note there is a parking fee. We payed 10.00 for the day.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Outdoor camping and exploring.You can camp at the campground and get access to bathrooms and showers, parking pass for the beach, and other locations. They have miles of nature trails and electric bike rentals available on the property.

So much to do here and in the area. Bring bikes if you have them! Miles of boardwalk trails and regular trails. Beautiful well kept facilities and grounds. Awesome pool. Nature center is cool! Lots of activities for kids. Plenty of nearby food options as well.

Beautiful beachfront. It is always very clean on this beach, and there is plenty of room even on the weekends. If you just go a little ways past the entrances, you will have tons of space to yourselves. Sunrises and sunsets on the beach do not have crowds because of when the parking lot is open. If you are staying on the beach or at the campground, you will likely have the beach to yourselves. We saw dolphins, stingrays and plenty of birds while we were there.

Resort style accommodations in a quiet, natural environment. A nice counterpoint to high rise chaos on the Gulf Shore. Excellent cuisine and service.

Very nice paved trails that go for miles. All the trails are bike friendly. There are numerous rest spots, several restrooms which were clean. This was our first visit so there is a lot more for us to see. The only negative would be not all bike riders are respectful, some act like it's a race. However most were polite and willing to share the road. I would definitely recommend these trails. For anyone wanting a casual walk and peace and quiet I would recommend of hours.

A beautiful park area to just relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are options to rent electric bikes or walk the many beautiful trails and nature hunt. I saw guides out with families watching birds. I myself was taking pictures just driving through the park. I saw a camping area, a cabin rental area and then of course the beach on the other side . Just a nice place to visit. Highly recommend.

16 mile bike ride, one delicious cafe, and gorgeous weather as always. We have made this a yearly event and each year it gets better. The bike paths are shaded with multiple stops throughout, butterfly area, a look out, alligator sightings and playground courses.

We first drove through it twice. Beautiful. Speed limit is 26-Repeat 26. They monitor that heavily. Do not speed!Also, you must take mosquito repellent. This should have been a no-brainer but we are on vacation and we went to use the free share bicycles. We did not think about bringing mosquito repellent with us. It was bad!Beware- although bikes are a free share thing, they do require an app, and they require payment. So be prepared to download the app and upload a payment method. We were not charged, But it would not allow us to complete the app and scan the QR code on the bikes until we did so.Be careful, check the tread on the bicycles first.Lots of sidewalks and asphalt pavement trails for bikes. There's water, Marsh area, and beautiful wooded areas.

We attended a concert at The Wharf in Orange Beach, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Parking was adequate and went smoothly, making our arrival stress-free. The staff, from those in the parking areas to those checking tickets and inside the event center, were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The seating was spacious, and we always had a great view of the stage. The sound and lighting were perfect, adding to the overall enjoyment of the show. Highly recommend The Wharf for any event!

Had a great time at the Wharf for New Years. Shops were very welcoming and the crowd was having a great time. Live music, open shops more than willing to welcome customers in, ferris wheel staffing busy and just an overall great experience.

We have returned to the Wharf many times since first discovering it. Lots of great shops and restaurants. Really pretty view of fancy boats. The Ferris wheel is a must. A little pricey but offers great view of the area. The light show at night is lots of fun.

This place is so nice they have a lot of cute stores you can either browse through or shop. I loved it. It's so beautiful they also have a lot of options for food. A movie theater,Ferris Wheel, and today, they had like a side with different food vendors tents.

Neat place to visit if you’re on vacation. They have great shops, restaurants and a few places to have just drinks. Cool atmosphere at night and best amphitheater I ever been to for a concert outside.

We went to an old car show there. It was perfect for the car lovers and gave the people that wasn't car crazy a place to shop. You could also walk a long where the yachts were docked. There were a lot of people but it wasn't so crowded you couldn't get around. Great atmosphere and a very good Pina Colada at the Daiquiri Bar. Only a hand full of people had on mask.

An interesting but expensive place to shop. Tried The House of Jerkys, shark jerky is so so, especially considering how expensive it is.The Spice & Tea Exchange has a great setting in displaying spices and teas. But the price is outrageous. A small bag of tea for $7 and spice for $6. I guess for novelty tryout, it will be ok.

This place is the coolest. So many memories here over the years. Love that they do fun things for the kids too.

We visited the Wharf on a weekday in June, 2023. It was fairly quiet when we were there. There were stores and restaurants and such. We didn't find anything that we felt we needed to buy. So we went on our way after a nice walk around the complex.

Absolutely loved this place and went back a few times to just walk around and check out stores. We also road the ferris wheel a couple of times and had a lot of fun. Only reason it's getting 3 stars is because 3 of the restaurants we visited here tried to overcharge us on various items. Definitely recommend looking over receipts in this area.

I went on the dolphin experience cruise. I love that you are able to bring your own snacks and drinks. You can also bring alcoholic beverages. Just no glass. They also sell chips and drinks for $1 on the boat. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. Although we didn’t get a chance to get any dolphins to surf around us they did swim around us and that was cool. It was also nice to just relax and enjoy our time out on the water.

We were in town on vacation and decided to visit the Bama Cruisin the Coast car show that was going on at the time. The show way good and the little shops everywhere were very nice. We didn't eat at any of the restaurants because they were so busy from the car show crowd. Will go back.

I is a nice place with some stores. You can eat, drink and walk around, also to water. There are restrooms and parking should be easy. But I think they have nor finished everything till now.

Wonderful family or solo experience!Must stop while in the area.Free parking and there was plenty.Free laser show was great for the kids. Ferris wheel rides were reasonably priced ($8) and had a seasonal ice skating bundle option available as well. Quite a few stores but come before 6 as most close by then (Saturday) Will absolutely return.

Nice outdoor shopping center with two floors. Beautiful views of the marina. The free street parking was nice. The Good Dog Boutique was fun to browse through. Our dog is enjoying his toy!

We were here for New Years Eve. It was a fun time. It does get busy at night but isn't very busy during the day. New years eve fireworks was a good show.

Waterfront dining, shopping, and entertainment complex with nightly laser light shows and fireworks on certain days. Kids had a great time!

Really fun place. My boyfriend and I went last night. They had an awesome light show around 8:30 p.m. They have a bunch of shops, places to eat, and an arcade. Cool Ferris Wheel. Fun for the whole family. Recommend!

The Wharf at Orange 🍊 Beach is a fun Live-Work-Play community that is well worth a visit. Especially for the days you need a change of scenery, a break from the sun or rainy day blues.At this time, you'll find a huge ferris wheel, an AMC Movie theater, shops, restaurants, a church, a marina, a video game shop. Really, something for everyone. Our favorite spots are Shades 😎 , this beautiful coffee shop that serves an amazing breakfast, & Ginny Lane. I'm sure there's others - like the beef jerky store or the whisky distillery - I'll just have to return to update this post.There is no need to worry about parking. They have plenty. Public bathrooms can be tricky for impared individuals.

My daughter had a cheer competition here. Afterwards we walked around & checked out all the shops! They had clothing shops, ice cream shops, restaurants! Right along the water. You could see all the boats. Very cool, beautiful place!

Passed there several times over the years and we finally decided to stop. If the weather is bad or you have some time to spare I would recommend going. Several stores to do some shopping and a few choices for food. At night the light show is awesome.

This was a huge shopping center that was two levels lots of great stores and places to eat. My only complaint is that the escalators weren’t working nor were there any elevators so the only way to the second level was the stairs, which makes it difficult if you have health problems to get to the second level. Super fun place if you’re looking for something to do.

Such a great experience! Love this place. Everything is conveniently located. People/events are fun!!!

Considering why I was there in the first place, I would share that it has a lot to offer for everyone. Plenty of eats, shops and entertainment along with an Arcade.Outside of the AMC movie theater where I visited to watch a new low key IRA movie with Liam Nielsen, called There will be Saint and Sinners, there is a Ferris Wheel...

We explored the Wharf both during the day and at night. There is plenty to do between exploring all the shops, riding the ferris wheel, dolphin boat tours, amphitheater, bars and restaurants, and so much more. There is plenty of free parking outside the stores and a large parking ramp if those parking slots fill up. Overall this is a fun place to explore. 🛍🎡🐬

The Wharf in Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a premier entertainment destination located along the Intracoastal Waterway. It offers a variety of attractions, including shopping, dining, and recreational activities. Key features of The Wharf include:The Wharf Marina: A full-service marina providing docking facilities and services for boaters.The Amphitheater: A popular venue for concerts and events, hosting a range of musical performances throughout the year.The Ferris Wheel: One of the tallest Ferris wheels in the Southeast, offering scenic views of the Gulf Coast.Shopping and Dining: A wide array of shops, boutiques, and restaurants catering to various tastes and preferences.Entertainment and Recreation: Activities such as mini-golf, a movie theater, an escape room, and seasonal events that appeal to families and visitors of all ages.The Wharf is known for its lively atmosphere, making it a central hub for both tourists and locals in the Gulf Shores area.

Stayed at a condo here a couple of weeks ago. The condos are very nice. The pool area is large with a wave pool, lazy river, sand volleyball, and nice bar&grill. The Wharf area itself is very nice. Great restaurants, entertainment, and plenty of shopping. We only left one day to visit the beach. I highly recommend; however I was told we went during the quiet season. It can get crowded during concerts at the Amphitheatre and peak travel season.

Attended the family friendly New Year’s Eve event at The Wharf this year, and enjoyed our visit. Great space/time for children and adults alike.

Love it! Vinny's pizza is yummo! 🍕 🎡I thoroughly enjoy coming here. Amphitheater is cool. Marina is nice. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Great place to grab a bite, have a drink with friends, or just enjoy the views.There is plenty of parking everywhere. Side parking or parking garage.The public restrooms are clean. There are a few threw out the area.There is a good variety of different shops.Grillin And Chillin With Mojo On YouTube

Great place to visit. Beautiful view as the sun begins to set. Tons of shops. Amphitheater is in a perfect location. Foreigner and Styx were playing when we visited. Incredibly busy place, but so worth the visit to The Wharf.

Johnson's Beach is a beautiful beach. Well maintained. The hours are great. Whether you go for a few hours to walk or make a day of it, Johnson's Beach never disappoints.

Beautiful beach and not crowded

Best beach on the Gulf

Beautiful beach with restrooms, great walking trails, and amazing views.

Also live in South Florida Johnson Beach is probably one of the prettiest beaches I've been to

Overall we had a good time. But there were definitely things they could do to improve. For starters, we had a couple massage reserved and they called us to cancel. I was understanding of that, but it was a birthday package and that ruined that surprise. Secondly, we had a dinner reservation. On several different occasions I spoke with someone at the restaurant and each time I was told a different time, 6:15 and 6:30 for my reservation but when I showed up at the restaurant they told me I had a reservation for 6:45 however they did work me in. The best part of the experience was on Sunday at the cooking class, I would highly recommend it. After checking out with the front desk at 10 a.m. where she called and checked my room with the staff. I was called after 5 p.m. and was told I would be charged $150 dollars for burnt wood. I didn't leave anything smoking in the room ever. There is no way I burnt anything. I requested a picture of the damage but they wouldn't send me one. Wind Creek just lacked the professionalism and accurateness that I am accustomed to when visiting. I enjoyed my visit but there were several disappointing moments and they could definitely step up their hospitality and scheduling.

Great quick getaway package. From the moment we booked until checkout, the staff was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed our every aspect. The only issue is that the in-room refrigerator was making an weird sound the entire stay and the wood doors and cabinetry needed a really good deep cleaning. It was too cold to enjoy the outdoor pool are but we loved the spa! Can't wait to go back.

This was my first time staying at Wind Creek, and we had a very good time. The service was incredible, especially Amelia and Wendy at the front desk. We had asked for some toiletries we had forgotten, and Wendy had housekeeping send up what we needed and then some. The food was also excellent, especially Fire Steakhouse. I will absolutely go again for a weekend trip.

Excellent get-away. The hotel is gorgeous and very comfortable.Wind Creek is such a beautiful resort / casino and has an amazing outdoor amphitheater which seems to be under utilized. Restaurants close early or are only open 3 or 4 days a week, so selection is extremely limited for anything later. The employees were all outstanding and very kind and thoughtful too.

Love the atmosphere here! It's electric!There are many options to choose from, and the majority of the place is smoke free, but there are smoking designated areas.This place is family friendly, unlike most casinos.They have an outdoor seasonal pool, which is near the spa and cooking classes auditorium. For the kiddos they have an entertainment center which has a movie theater, a bowling alley, and an arcade, so the kids can play while the adults play, or if the adults want to do something other than gamble.They also have a buffet with a variety of food options much like a mall food court. There is Italian cuisine, barbecue, seafood, burgers and wings, salads, Japanese cuisine, and breakfast options to choose from, or if you want to celebrate, there is also a steakhouse on the premise and the food and customer service are top notch.I haven't had a chance to try all of the food options so this review is based on what I have seen and experienced for a few visits but I do sincerely enjoy everything about this location.I've also never booked a room here, but if they are anything like the rest of the place I'm sure they are comfortable and festive.Oh did I forget to mention the decorations?! The very first time I visited here was during the Christmas season, and they had decorations throughout the facility and occasional "snow" in the outdoor area for everyone to enjoy.I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking to go somewhere family friendly to have a good time, you may even win a few bucks to use for the activities 😉

Not worth the price. For the price we paid, I would think that 1. The thermostat would work. 2. I would not have to listen to everyone else flushing their toilets.Breakfast - $16. Something I would expect from a school cafeteria. Not only that, the order was wrong. Most hotels would just throw this type of breakfast in for free and be better quality.The pool doesn’t open until 10 a.m.Just disappointing compared to every other casino hotel.

Golden rule - ***if there’s no tables at a casino don’t gamble*** It’s a decent place visually. Don’t come here expecting to win or get any good food after dark though. Hot dogs turkey sandwiches dry nasty fried chicken candy and old salad… There’s no tables, only machines. I’ve been to nearly every casino in the US. Every time they don’t offer tables they just steal money w machines. You’ll never win here. Drinks are strong and cheap for a casino though (so you’ll get drunk and lose your paycheck). The main restaurant isn’t good enough to bring me back. One and only visit here. Spent $500-600 left w none of it. Just wanted to show my girl a good time. We had fun but only due to our own company so goal achieved. * makes you give them your email to spam you so you can use WiFi. Place is a rip off.

I enjoyed my stay. My accessible room was very comfortable. I was glad to have a lower bed. My wheelchair is 19 inches high. I would like to have chairs with arms to more easily maneuver. I was very disappointed that room service had no toast for breakfast and could not offer any fruit for breakfast". The grill is so limited in its offerings. Spicy chicken and hot dogs was not very appealing. The best part of my trip was your staff, very attentive and accommodating.. I don’t understand your policies. You have staff all over the casino floor and restaurants without masks. The valet staff can come into my room to deliver and take my luggage. But the room service staff can not enter my room to deliver food! I have to get into my wheelchair, make it to the door, open it then juggle the drinks and food. And sign the check. Makes no sense to me, please contact me if there is a logical reason, I have not considered.

Buffet food isn't the greatest. Bowling was awesome! Movie theater was awesome! Arcade was terrible. Mostly broken games. Pool was great. Spa was wonderful. Staff is fantastic and super friendly.

We live about 1 1/2 hours away so we come and stay often. The staff are wonderful and the amenities are great. The room we got was a smoking room. (Wanted non-smoking). I hear they will all be non smoking soon. I am very happy to hear that.

We just had our wedding there, and I can’t rave about it enough. Sam went above and beyond to make our day perfect! I had to have my family come from all over and they all raved about their rooms and how nice it was. I wish our stay didn’t end because it was absolutely the best weekend of our life!The bell lady was so helpful as well. The front desk made sure to accommodate all of our needs. Highly recommend windcreeek to anyone and everyone!

Always greeted with a warm welcome. Great customer service from the Hotel & Casino staff. Need to have a better in room dining service, dining menu is very limited. Hotel room was very clean & comfortable. Casino was fun & I had my winning moment(s)!

Rooms are very nice - restaurant and food choices are poor - casino can be very unfair by not getting bonuses or ones that payout good (like most of them and that is just the way any gamble is) but there are good machine choices if that is what you are looking for - Yet it does have a better chance for hitting a jackpot far more than all other casinos. Bowling and movie theater on location - is great but it mostly brings in the youth and that good for families and bad for other reasons

Me and my husband stayed the night here and it was just like it always has been, very nice, clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. We stay often and this time because the casino was packed, and the hotel was packed and I had booked through online gaming, the lady that checked us in said she would find us the room we had asked for when I booked...a king non-smoking and she did.....they upgraded our room to a partial suite and it is beyond beautiful! I would so enjoy being upgraded anytime 😉Also to note they are in the middle of doing some renovations, which are very nice, they said it could be a little loud at certain times, but we never heard anything. The renovations would not stop me from going back!

This Casino at Atmore. Al was so relaxing! The rooms were extremely nice, clean and well appointed, and the service was exceptional in every department.. I felt welcomed as soon as I entered the lobby for checkin and checkout. I wished the pool had beverage, and food service. That was an inconvenient. I stay here as often as I can. Good Job staff!!

Our room was cool and clean with all necessities full. Staff was very nice and respectful. Waiting on your every need. Just a laid back easy going place. I can't wait to do it again. Let me give a big shout out to my host Rita Patrick. Thank you again Rita for all you do for us.

We enjoyed our stay! Did spend a few hours in the casino, won some,lost some...left with maybe $140 more than we started with. The Taste Buffet was good, a little pricey. The staff in general were very helpful and knowledgeable and the facility was well laid out and clean. It was quite busy during our stay and everyone was friendly.

My husband and I just wanted a quick get away.Staff was extremely friendly and so very nice.Some remodeling going on, but not too much to be bothersome.Our room was clean and quit.We spent time in the arcade, and Bowling. Wanted to watch a movie in the theater but only had so much time.Machines were current, and they had a good variety.Sooo much nicer environment than down the road.We will be back soon!

So much fun! The staff are warm and welcoming and really go out of their way to provide world class customer service. I consider everyone there my new family. The giveaways are fun and there’s something different for everyone. Never hit a jackpot everywhere I’ve gambled but here I’ve won several in just a few months. I also love all of the old pictures of the Poarch Creek Indians. Thank You! :) our Host Rita Patrick & Lo in Fire Steakhouse are just the best - truly family. I have a list of other employees who provide stellar service.

The hotel itself is a wonderful stay with the rooms, since the pandemic the food options in the market aren’t the same as the buffet they had previously …I will say customer service has taking a hard decline, from the food servers, hotel check in front desk, and even drink servers…. I’m disappointed but as a person that gambles that won’t deter me from going as the casino is still great …. The company should focus on retraining their staff on their customer service.

Windcreek Atmore is definitely the place to visit!!! It’s such a beautiful resort. We are visiting family and decided to go for a last minute trip. From the moment we arrived everyone was so nice and helpful. Checking in was such a breeze. There’s literally something for everyone to do. Our room was nice and clean. The pool is huge and beautiful with bottled water and towels on hand. We enjoyed delicious food and desserts at the buffet restaurants which includes has so many food choices. We then went to the arcade where everyone got to be a kid again and enjoy playing games. The movie theater was already closed but we will be sure to visit next time. We then enjoyed bowling at the bowling alley. So much fun that we all enjoyed. After putting the kid to bed, we just had to check out the casino and try our luck. The casino is nice and very spacious so many games to choose from and the drinks were good. All in all this trip was 10/10. We can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful rooms very clean. Very polite staff. I lost my ID while downstairs getting some food and playing the machines. I asked security if they had seen it by chance and luckily for me they had. I waited a few minutes and a very nice lady came out with it/

I truly enjoyed my stay at Wind Creek Atmore. The young lady that checked us in was absolutely exceptional. She ensured everything was set for our stay. Our room was very nice and the staff was superb. My daughter had an opportunity to visit the Spa for a facial and she was extremely pleased; just and overall enjoyable stay. Thank you.

We paid for a nonsmoking room but during the night you could smell smoke. Won’t be able to stay here with my sister who has a lung disease. 🤦‍♀️ the steak house gets 5 stars. Food. Atmosphere and service was top notch! ♥️

We only went into the casino, did not get rooms there. The casino is very nice and clean. Did not like they did not have a buffet as they did the last time we were there. They only had take out (if I want take out, I will go to fast food place down the road). Loved the casino machines. The free coffee was delicious for coming out of a dispenser on the wall.

the staff was the best anyone could ask for, the remodeled rooms were beautiful, food was some of the best and playing was fun. I would suggest that they get some sort of shelter outside for the smokers to protect them from the elements such as cold/ rain/ wind, There is only 1 small room about 300-400 square feet for smokers inside entire casino and in there a lot of machines were down and people were standing around at times for about 20 to get on a machine, they do need a larger room for the smoking room with machines. BUT over all a nice place and a good time.

Awesome is a good word.to describe Wind Creek at Atmore. I say that even after losing $. The hotel and casino are beautiful. The spa is perfect. The pool, wow! The staff are helpful and friendly. Fire restaurant is probably the best I’ve ever been to. The food was so good and the service was over the top. If you get a chance definitely go here!

We have been to Windcreek Atmore before. This trip the service was better than expected, it was a trip for my husband’s birthday. We sat down to play a game waiting on our room to be ready and a representative came over and gave my husband a birthday candy bar! What a great start for the weekend. The room was good, all amenities were available. We ate at Fire restaurant and that topped all! Gaming floor and service were also good.

Dianna, the front desk representative, provided us with excellent customer service. We were exhausted and too tired to drive home. She was able to offer a room to us at a great rate. We appreciate her!

I ate at the restaurant. They have a lot of choices and give good portions. The have a sushi bar, BBQ bar, sandwich bar, dessert station, fountain drinks and more. I paid 90 for 2 adults and 3 kids for lunch. I enjoyed it no complaints. I think this was the best casino buffet ate at so far.

Came from NY for a wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. From the pool to casino to the room -everything was clean and modern. Ruth was great at check in. Staff friendly. thanks for a great weekend !!!

The room was fantastic even with the construction going on! Great view and comfy beds. Service to the room was outstanding! We spoke to them daily. Service in the spa however was just meh. IMO services at the spa have considerably went down since I was there in 2021 or 22. The front desk person was not personable at all, as well as the desk where we got our shoes. I felt like we were rushed out also. My masseuse was just okay. There’s no point in asking what I wanted her to focus on if she was going to do what she wanted. I’ll be back for sure but I will be picky about who my masseuse is.

My husband and I stayed at Wind Creek Atmore last Wednesday, July 17th and had a WONDERFUL time! Our room had been recently updated and was beautiful!! We enjoyed the pool, The Market, and a lot of slot games. We will definitely be back soon!

I’ve had an amazing experience at Wind Creek Atmore. Everything was top tier and extremely nice. The hotel check in was smooth & fast the receptionist had the best personality. The Fire restaurant food & service was 1000/10. Our waitress Sierra customer service was the BEST she gave us the best luxury experience while providing excellent customer service. She kept us laughing the entire time. Our spa experience was worth every penny. Very clean and so relaxing. We also enjoyed bowling while we waited for dinner. Nice cleaned atmosphere. Excellent customer service overall we will definitely be returning soon!! 20 stars ⭐️

My wife and I stayed here for a wedding on 4/6/24. We cwere both very happy with this hotel. Service was incredible (from check in, service in the steak house and buffet and the service at the wedding reception itself. Very well done !!

A friend and I recently stayed one night at Windcreek while enjoying their spa services and had dinner at Fire Steakhouse. My first shout is to the head chef at Fire, you are amazing! Fire offers an array of amazing and delicious items to choose from, but more than that, they really care about their patrons. I was not sure if I wanted lamb or chicken, so I stayed with what I am familiar with, which is chicken. The head chef brought the lamb so we could try it, since my friend and I had never had it before. Amazing! The stuffed chicken was incredible and if you love garlic, it came with fresh roasted garlic. I cannot wait to go back, which will be next month for my wedding anniversary. Fire far exceeded my expectations.Second is the spa, incredible service. I had the facial and the coconut scrub and both were so relaxing and wonderful; I loved both. The spa personnel were all friendly, the front staff could use extra training, but overall, it was great. I will go again.Finally, check in was smooth even during the renovations. My room was recently renovated, and it was beautiful and comfortable. I have traveled all over the country and I never know what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised. I did read a review about asking for soap during check in, so make sure to do that because the rooms do not come with soap. I loved my one-night girls trip and I hope others do too!

First time visit to WC Atmore was incredible. Every person we saw working was so friendly and helpful. I do want to call out someone who was especially helpful. His name was Tracey and he was a security guard who noticed my mom was unsteady as she walked around. He offered to get her a wheelchair and then went and got it for us. That was a game changer for us! The room was beautiful and the pool area was stunning. Overall it was an amazing stay and I can’t wait to return.

The new rooms are amazing! We had a corner suite and they really did a fantastic job on the renovations! Hotel front desk ladies are great. Friendly and welcoming. Service everywhere else is still subpar. They could care less about helping nor willing to accommodate players for any reason. Casino floor is small with limited selection of machines nothing like the other locations.

Check in was a breeze. Courtney was wonderful. Our suite was perfect.away from the elevators. Rarely heard any kind of noise. Bed was comfortable. Location is close enough to home for a quick weekend get away!!!!! Our go to Casino!!

Atmore is one of my favorite spots to visit. The staff is always nice and friendly; the rooms are always clean, comfortable and quiet; the food at Fire restaurant, as well as, the buffet is good as the buffet has great selections to choose from, and the casino is top-notch with no shortage of slots. All of this makes for a really fun time. I am always referring this place to family and friends.

We have been here twice and both times we have had so much fun! The newly renovated rooms are so beautiful and all the staff are always so friendly! The casino itself is huge with such a great variety of games. We love that it’s a nice little getaway not too far from home!

Can't say enough about how extremely pleased I was and what a wonderful time that was had at this location. The staff was great extremely polite and very nice to have a conversation with. The room was just beautiful. Very clean and was above any casino properties that I have stayed in yet. And I've been to casinos all over the country. The food choices were excellent. The complete staff that I had interactions with went above and beyond to be polite and seemed very glad we were on property. The food was really good!! The gaming floor is no smoking and that is a big plus. The games were very fair on payouts and very clean as well. The complete resort was just a very good experience for us. The room I was given was a king corner suite and it was just beautifully clean and very comfortable. I will definitely be returning and staying longer on my next trip. I was my birthday gift from someone and I'm glad I made this choice on my birthday. Can't say enough about how much of a wonderful time we had.

The people here are really nice and do their best to make it a great experience. The food is really lack luster and not at the level of the expense at all. I would stick to the food court vs the “fine dining”.

We stay and play here often! We’ve stayed in the hotel many times and it is always great. For the casino, I have won so many times here! Yes, every game is a slot machine. No tables or anything but slots. If that’s not your thing, then just know it ahead of time. There’s a bowling alley, a full cinema, several restaurants and eateries inside. I’ve eaten at the big restaurant and it is “ok”…. The bbq station is the best. Great pasta station. Every thing else is just average. But the casino play is great!!

Just so beautiful and inspirational. Amazingly detailed both up and downstairs. Incredibly knowledgeable staff of prior and current service. It’s like walking through 3D, live-motion Naval history research. So unbelievably modernized for a museum. No wait whatsoever. Not crowded. Free. Sharp images on screens, clean both in and outside (including restrooms), and just overall an amazing experience.

Fantastic place to visit. The museum is awesome. Be prepared to spend several hours here. So much to see. We just so happened to be at the museum at the right time. The Blue Angels had practice while we were there. It was awesome seeing them fly. Loved the whole experience.

Pretty nice. It was a fun place for my friends & I. Lots of naval planes to see. Very clean & Very organized. We went to the Café and got food and it was pretty good. Also no wait at all!Just be mindful that the prices in the gift shop are a little high. But, admission is free anyways so it’s not that bad. Overall it’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too.

This was a wonderful museum to attend. You do have to go through the initial base gates but it is my understanding this is allowed for everyone (I went with some one with a retired military ID so did not test this). We spent over 2 hours at this museum and did not cover everything. There is a lot of history to see and read, not just the air craft. They also have a historical movie to see. There are people on hand if you gave questions and of course a gift shop. Keep in mind if you go there are 2 buildings at the time of this review. Hanger 1 is found exiting the back part of the initial museum.

This place is fantastic. We love the old planes and we watched the blue angels earlier here. Your kids would love coming here. They have all kinds of interesting information and they have old reels that you can watch. You have to go to this museum. Free to get in also

Went here many years ago as a kid and loved it. Went again 15 years ago as a young adult and loved it even more. No returning as an adult taking my children and wow is this place great. The movie we watched on aircraft carriers was great. The tour was amazing, so many incredible stories! The collection of planes, historical artifacts, etc is incredible. What a wonderful place to spend a few hours. The flight simulator was also incredible. Overall, just had the best time. Will plan to come again soon, definitely not waiting as long to come back this time!

I’ve gone here twice since moving here and still haven’t seen all there is to see. We bring family here every time they come to visit! There’s a diner inside, as well as some flight simulations. The front desk and guides are all very helpful and knowledgeable. My kids love coming here!

Yes a definite WOW!We are a military family and looked forward to our visit and it went way above and beyond our expectations.Be prepared to spend the day!The kids loved loved loved it!The cafe is available, the movie theater, and also the gift store. The store had a great variety of items - shirts, hats, toys, gift items, and novelty items.The displays were amazing. Do note some features have a cost but the entry was free with a donation option at the Blue Angels.We watched the “Blue Angels” and then then the pilots came for an Autograph session at the Museum. It was a fabulous day. We will definitely be back.

Amazing! I had no idea what to expect but this is a must see. It's free to get in and there a ton of planes to see with hands on stuff for the kids and great historical information all over. I could easily spend all day here reading information and seeing the planes. There is a simulator that my kids did. That cost money but great experience. 5 stars! Thanks for the experience.

My son had the Best Birthday Party ever! He loves the Blue Angels and His favorite movie Top Gun. So we decided to get a Blue Angel Uniform and some extra supplies. Our orders arrived after a few days and it was just perfect! We also received an extra item. Thank you so much guys. We will be taking our kid to the Museum next year ❤️

What a great experience. The museum was very informative and interesting. The displays were awesome and maintained very well. It took a couple of hours at least to really get through most of the displays and watch videos. As an adult I really enjoyed myself.

My husband and I have been here on vacation for the past week now and let me tell you, this place was our favorite thing of the whole trip!! We absolutely loved the Naval Aviation Museum!! It was so neat seeing all the different planes from WW1 to present. Our tour guide, David I believe was his name, did a fabulous job! He absolutely new his stuff and I just enjoyed hearing him speak about everything in the museum! Also getting to see the blue angels fly was absolutely spectacular!! Everything about this place made me appreciate those who serve our country that much more!

This was such a fascinating visit, so much history and so interesting. And it was a massively, huge museum. Admission is free however there are simulations and things like that that you can pay to do.. A must do if you’re in the Pensacola area. when pulling it up on navigation, make sure to put Westgate and follow the directions towards the lighthouse. Otherwise she won’t end up at the wrong gate.

What an awesome aviation museum. So many aircraft to look at. The displays are fantastic. The staff is very knowledgeable. So much to look at. It's best to get there before opening. When we left the line at the west gate was backed up to the traffic light. We were there for over three hours.

This place is great I’ve been going here for years and will visit again in the future. Covid making it harder to get it, but if you get to know a few locals this normally isn’t an issue. The museum is great and how many times over the years I’ve ran into someone volunteering and it turning into a 15 minute conversation about one of the displays telling a story from their life. I’ve meet nothing, but the best here. The shows always bring a crowd and it’s worth it, but also it’s definitely worth stopping on an off day to get the true experience of this wonderful place.

Wow!!! We came on the day it was open to the public this past weekend and WOW! What a gem! We spent the entire day there (with 3 young kids) and could have stayed longer. The leveled scavenger hunts for the kids were a super nice touch and impressed this teacher! Please consider opening back up to the public more often. We loved it!!

You gotta make 4 days available to see everything. Super interactive displays, friendly helpful staff and more to see and do for beyond the eyes can see. Full size airplanes on display. Many huge models of Navel ships. Wow, gotta put this place on your bucket list. Also, part of the home to the Blue Angles. Meet and greet on the tarmac behind the museum on live practice days. Most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Check their schedule for training days to be sure. Oh best part. Parking and admission to the museum is FREE. You will have to enter NAS Pensacola so be sure to have your ID. Check the website.

I visited this place as a child over 30 years ago and wow, has come a long way. I expected my children to be bored, but they have done quite well with making sure there are plenty of interactive attractions to go along with the viewing of life sized peices historical Naval aviation.Admission is free, though there are "tip containers" scattered across the museum. They have a couple different simulators and they also have movies that all cost money. I feel they are reasonably priced since admission is free. There is restaurant and a snack bar. A little high priced for the quality in my opinion but it serves the purpose of giving you food for as much time as you could potentially spend here.We spent about 3 hours here and we didn't watch any of the movies that you can buy tickets to. If you are someone who is really passionate about this kind of thing and want to experience all of it, get here when the doors open and plan to spend 4-5 hours. And that is on a less busy day.The exhibits are top notch. They have full sized jets and planes plus very detailed replicas of different aircraft carriers. The WWII exhibit has it's own section and is an absolute must see if you love this part of US history. Worth a trip to Pensacola just for this, in my opinion.Overall, great museum and recommend every one check it out if in the area.

This is an amazing museum! There are many wonderful displays ranging from WW1 to the present day. Parking and entrance are both free. It is a must see while in Pensacola!

We had a great time visiting this place!! It has grown over the years to include way more exhibits of planes, carriers, NASA, etc. It's so interesting to see the history of the military. There are flying simulators you can pay to do as well, a movie you can watch, etc. There is a little Cafe to get drinks and snacks and a nice gift shop! It's a terrific place to take kids!!

My kids are 7, 8, 9 & 3. They had an absolute BLAST getting hands on with so many planes! Taking them to this museum was one of the best Saturdays we've had in a really long time! I'm so glad it's Open to the Public Now!!! I hadn't been since I was a kid and I forgot how much fun it was!

This is one of the most interesting museums I have been to. We only had half a day so need to go back. It is so well done with all the planes and the aircraft carriers and the displays. Not to be missed if you are in the area.

This is a great museum. Get there early to see everything. Well maintained aircrafts and able to get up close. They have excellent tour guides too. This place is a win/win.

This is by far the best military aviation museum I've visited over the years! The displays are very well laid out, and the aircraft are real ones that have been in action in the fleet. It has very impressive galleries as well that provides the historical context of the various stages of development of naval aviation from the beginning of flight until the present day. Best of all, it's free.

What an amazing museum. So many aircraft to look at. Wonderful stories to learn. Really enjoyed the life size dioramas that truly set the tone and make you feel like you have stepped back in time. A must see! The Blue Angels have weekly training sessions that something you shouldn’t miss.

Always a great time! We love to take our whole family. When we go we love to stay all day. They’ve got great food and snacks reasonably priced. We also love the gift shop and the local artist items like Pensacola Candle Co and The Crafted Makerie!! 🤍We’re extremely grateful to have this great museum here for our kiddos! It makes me so grateful to get to live here and raise our family here every time we go. Also, it seems every time we’re walking around employees cleaning it!! How amazing!! God bless America and God bless y’all! Thanks for having this all around great museum available to the public 🇺🇸

Very good place to visit. Many planes, jets, copters etc all on display. Many educational kiosks, veterans explaining how many aircraft were used in defending our country. They have simulators to ride, large screen movies showing navy and air related films. Been there twice and am sure we missed seeing some of the exhibits.

Phenomenal place to visit, especially if you love our Great Nation and those who defend it! Great displays around every turn! You will be amazed and leave inspired! Museum is free, but simulators and movies cost. All of it…WORTH IT!

Steve Judd gave our tour. He did an amazing job. It lasted about two hours. He was super interactive with the crowd. He asked about retired military in the crowd and any current pilots. I loved all the information he gave. I really enjoyed that he wore a microphone and little speaker. It made it so much easier to hear him. Anyone interested in the Navy, Blue Angels, and USA history would really enjoy this museum. I think we could spend two days reading everything, watching every movie, doing every interactive simulator. We will definitely be back again. Admission is free. Some things like the movie and simulators cost. They have a neat little cafe too.

Great experience. You should plan for an entire day to get the best out of your trip. There are so many different things to see that are worth your time. Most of the exhibits are exposed for you to touch and take pictures. They also have a restaurant that is good for the family to get a bite and continue your tour. Admission is FREE. Parking is FREE. Enjoy!

So much History.Guided tours by Vietnam era fighter pilots, Top Gun Grads, and Anti-submarine warfare Helicopter pilots. People who served during the cold war.. Every young person should have an opportunity to visit this awesome aviation museum. Definitely one of the best in the country.

Such an incredible experience for every fan of aviation or American history in general. Beautiful exhibits and lots of interactive activities. There are free guided tours and many opportunities for your kids to get some cool photos inside of cockpit cutouts!

This museum is on a military base, so be ready to present ID upon entry from all adults.The boys had a fantastic time, if you are a History nerd you will spend at least 3 days there. If you are mechanically inclined this place is like a never ending puzzle.They have simulators which you will need to purchase a ticket for, the theater is also great!However our favorite part for the entire family was the ability to get into Blue Angel.I highly recommend this place to anyone that loves to watch those mechanical birds in the sky!!!

Wow! What a hidden gem - and it is FREE (although the movie and simulators are at a cost). So much fun and so much packed into a small foot print! Coming from a Navy family, where my dad worked in the planes, in a blimp and more, it was especially touching for me. My husband and I both loved it, and so did our 4 year old grandson - so definitely fun for all ages.

Awesome place to visit. Lots to see. Very educational. You can touch most of the aircraft. The blue angles are even more awesome. Great family fun. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Free find and fantastic for the entire family. Even if airplanes are not your thing. There is a movie theater inside with relevant aviation films including a new documentary of the Blue Angels. There were several aviation simulators that got lots of attention. Make sure to use the West entrance that does not require a military batch to enter the Naval station. It may take between 2-3 hours to see. A must visit.

Went on vacation to visit family in Pensacola, had a wonderful time wandering around the museum. There was a guided tour available for free. The amount of planes they had inside the building was amazing. The history was awesome and the mock up of the naval boat was incredible. I especially loved the scale models of the the aircraft carriers. A great afternoon for a family trip!!

The museum was a historians dream and expertly put together. The amount of naval aircraft and variety in age was a huge blessing in disguise. I wasn’t prepared to see so many flying boats or see the more personalized space and art exhibits.My wife and I enjoyed how many replica cockpits there were. There are two hangars and both are extremely well designed so that almost every aircraft can be photographed in its entirety.The restrooms are not spacious and are consequently rather neglected.The Cubi Cafe was beautiful on the inside, but it wasn’t worth the wait. The food is rather mediocre and the service staff is also. Luckily, the museum is free, so pack a lunch and enjoy it outside.

What a jewel to find. It's right across the Pensacola lighthouse. We got there about 30 minutes to closing.. lol.. so we did a very quick tour. We met one of the guys who works there, and he gave us a quick overview of the place. My dad, who's a WWII veteran, would have definitely marveled at this place. I definitely recommend getting there in time to enjoy the whole experience.

Wow! This was a spur of the moment visit while in the area, but there a ton to see! The guide said it takes 2 days to see it all, I only got to see a bit of what there is to offer in an afternoon. Very expansive and cool exhibits with friendly staff.On a side note if there’s a Blue Angles practice going on, get there absolutely as early as possible. They were at capacity in the morning, so couldn’t get in and traffic gets beyond ridiculous!

One of the most amazing places I have ever been to in my life! Spend hours here. Absolute perfection. Friendliest staff. So clean. We ever witnessed a retirement. Make it an issue to visit here.

Such a cool place to see all types of airplanes throughout the decades. Such a huge place full of cool stuff. They even have a virtual reality ride where you control the aircraft and can do flips and barrel rows. It's pretty realistic and scary.

Enjoyed the visit with my girls (2 daughters and niece). Happened to get lucky and witness a flight school graduation, which was pretty awesome and unexpected. These officers were representing true American spirit, and from what I can remember, not a single one was from the same hometown, a true melting pot of America in this group. The museum itself has a unique bond between future and history this way by having Graduation ceremony surrounded by all the history while presenting the future of Naval aviation. I sincerely hope the families understand the importance of everything surrounding them and that they were able to take the time and enjoy the time, take some memories home of not only the present but of immersing themselves into the past.

A fabulous museum. It's totally worth the time to explore. It's also free. There's so much my see that almost blows you away. I thought I took a lot of pictures, but I believe I could have taken so many more. This review and the pictures don't come close.

Amazing museum! Very well put together and easy to navigate! Only complaint was that one of the elevators was down and I had to walk a really long way to get to the other one for the sake of my daughter’s stroller. Other than that, extraordinary place. A must see! And with free admission- it’s a no brainer. Could’ve spent all day in there

We took a tour of the museum and hanger after we saw the Blue Angels fly. Definitely DO NOT miss these buildings! There is so much history and information on planes, branches, and even ships! We enjoyed walking through, looking at each items and even watching a few shirt videos. They placed both the hanger and museum next to each other, and how they have everything spaced out in the buildings makes it feel less crowded.

This place was amazing and definitely worth the visit. Get there early, some of the exhibits close at 3:30. You’ll want plenty of time to walk through and see everything. They have tons of interactive exhibits and flight simulators too! Such a cool place.When you map to the museum go to the West base entrance. They weren’t letting people in the East entrance and allowing them to drive through the base to go to the museum. No entry fee. Donations are accepted.

Really enjoyable family oriented. So much history of the navy and our country. Lots of planes helicopters bombs. Old stores the pilots would go and the prices of the food and candy. Old houses they lived in. I highly recommend going here if you’re in the pensacola area. Big museum. Several activities.

We visit as many military museums as possible when we travel. The National Naval Aviation Museum exceeded our expectations! Free admission. Expect to spend at least 2 hours! There are stairs, but also an elevator for those who need the extra help. Hands-on activities for children and short videos to help experience and understand the history of the time period. For those in Pensacola this is a MUST SEE!

What an amazing museum that highlights the rich history of naval aviation! A large collection of aircraft spanning decades of aviation spread amongst a large museum so prepare to spend some time. Make sure to follow directions on website for base access, you can not access through the main gate and GPS will try to take you through main gate.

Excellent museum. And i can’t believe it’s free admission and free parking. So much to see and learn. Have a 5 and 7 year old and this kept their interest for hours. Wish we would have planned to see one of their movies in their cinema. I’ll bring a light jacket or long sleeve next time, me and kiddos were a little chilly

This quiet, sleepy fort location is packed with a a lot of history. To appreciate its history, make sure to read all the placards that tells the stories. When read, it brings to life the battles and the power of the artillery relics used in the battles.

Maintained but not manicured. Feels like a walk back in time- minus the artillery fire and bullets

I have good memories here. This is the second visit that I've made there. Although I forgot that I needed to go around to the Western gate and not where Google maps sent me again by mistake. The museum host did a great job of explaining the history of not only fort Barrancas but geological and United States military history.

We visited Fort Barrancas about 3 weeks ago because it is not only a beautiful historic place to visit but also a great place to take amazing pictures. We took my son there for senior pictures. These images are just the quick snaps I was able to get while the photographer was doing her thing. You will see my son had a little fun at the cannon posing as Captain Morgan lol. On a side note, my husband & I came here to take engagement photos back in 2004 & they turned out amazing as well. Another note I should mention is before going, is to check their hours of operation bc we showed up just before closing so we had to rush. Also, you can schedule a tour & get great historical info from the knowledgeable staff that works there as well. What a great city we live in to be able to be transported back in time for just a little while & slow down for a change even if it is just for an hour or two. I enjoyed the serenity of it all & didn't want to leave.

Beautifully maintained fort that you can roam for hours if you choose. The history of this area is unique and worth learning about. Highly recommend stopping here and talking with the employees. The 10 minute video was a great introduction and the fort did not disappoint. Thanks for a wonderful stop on my vacation!

Small but very well done, the National Park Service has done a bang up job making an old fort into a beautiful area to wander, enjoy the sunshine, wander the long corridors inside the fortifications, and receive a good education about how European conflicts as well as the American Civil War were part of the history of this area. Because of the beautiful open areas and underground tunnels, there's a bit for everyone, including those who like to watch jets and Navy trainer aircraft fly by. If you like history, be sure to spend time to read the various boards in the small but we'll organized visitor center.

Another fantastic historic American fort to bring the family to. It's safe and has a lot of neat places to explore. Make sure everyone who's an adult brings an ID. It's inside the Naval Base.

Amazing experience! These tour guides and Ranger were so friendly and knowledgeable! It makes you feel like you were there in history🥰

Fantastic National Park location. You can explore most of this fort on your own and also get a great view of Fort Pickens across Pensacola Bay. The ranger tour is available on the weekends and is well worth it to learn the how the fort was constructed and its history. Highly recommend the Advanced Readout tour if you are more adventurous. This second site (not far from the visitor center) is only accessible with the ranger tour and takes you through the abandoned structure complete with dark passageways and potential encounters with bats, snakes and other local fauna. Not suitable for young children.The fort is located on the Naval Air Station, so you will need to pass through a checkpoint and show ID to get to the fort. There is limited RV parking at the visitor center, so you may want to call ahead and ensure that there is space to park if you are driving a larger rig.The Junior Ranger program for this site is part of the larger Gulf Islands National Seashore booklet, but there are a couple of activities based on exploring the fort or walking on the .5 mile woodland nature trail near the visitor center.

As you might know by now, I love going to visit historic forts. This is inside the Naval Air Station. This one is an amazing fort, from its location to the role it played in history. I would say this is a must fort to visit. I would recommend you watch the 12-minute video they have available before you had out to see this historic place. Everything you will see will have a meaning, and you will then begin to imagine how things happened. What a beauty of a place. You really need to take some time when you are there. This is a place where you can't rush it. If you like these types of historic places, you will enjoy everything from the walls to the hallways to the design. I Know I am uploading pictures that might cause you to wonder why those pictures. Well, when you go there, you will say, oh I see why. I would come back here just because I think this is a cool place to visit.

We arrived at 3:30 pm and it closed down at 4 pm so we just got a nice little taste of the Fort. The ranger was terrific. He swore in the kids as junior rangers when they finished the required activities, even as he was doing his job of shooing everyone out.

This was a fun place to spend a few hours. Even if handicapped it was set up so you could essentially drive around and enjoy the site. If you wanted to walk it, I highly suggest downloading the national park app as it walks you through the fort in a numbered order and tells you what each stop is. Definitely more organized than other forts I had been to in the past. While my kids weren’t with me this trip I could see them enjoying it.

Amazing location for bird watching. Several trails to view nesting ospreys.

This is a beautiful national park with camping and plenty of beach areas to explore. It's also home to the historic Fort Pickens. A great place to bring the family to learn some of our country's valuable history.

Nice camping experience. Everyone is friendly and keeps to themselves. The beaches are super clean and quiet. This is a great place for people who enjoy the beaches but want to avoid the crowds. Also good for fishing. We came back to the beach at night to catch crabs with the kids.

Wonderful place to explore. You can go all through the fort. There is a lot of history. There is a lot of hiking and climbing.Great fishing off the pier and several beaches to stop at along the way.

Great park to explore around for a few hours! Spent some time here with the family and we loved it! It is well worth the entry fee as the fort was great to walk around and to see the museum that has so many artifacts! I highly recommend if you’re in the Pensacola area!

Adventures Unlimited is a welcomed respite for nature enthusiasts everywhere. The rustic environment invokes nostalgia for simpler times- canoes, kayaks, and tubing are the most popular water activities.The good:Easy payment online and registered at the main office. Met with smiles and plenty of information. Our party of 3 was transported by van down to the drop-off site with an explanation of the Coldwater Creek tubing routes. Excellent park upkeep, serene surroundings and an overall peaceful atmosphere.The negative:Upon arrival, we noticed the remaining tubes were deflated in a cage… the employees seemed frustrated as they attempted to revive the tubes to no avail. We even witnessed another customer complaining his second tube had already deflated. Unfortunately, two of our tubes had also deflated during the 3-hour river experience. Upon completion, we were instructed to drop our tubes in a gravel pen! Storage system severely flawed and in need of serious updates. Patrons should also be instructed to NOT drag their equipment across the ground.

We had arranged for a small camping style cabin for two nights of relaxation for our 24th wedding anniversary. We received a phone call from the office on the morning of our arrival that the Coldwater creek had flooded and our originally booked cabin was unreachable. We were offered a full refund or a possible change of accommodations. We decided to go on and see what we could do for an alternative. When Ms Suzanne in the office found out that it was a special day for us, she placed us in the Nashville Railcar Cabin. It was absolutely beautiful and could not have possibly been any more perfect. Also in addition to the creek flood eliminating all of their River trips and Zip line attractions, we ended up having the entire acreage to ourselves for the night of our anniversary. I cannot say enough about the cleanliness and care of the entire campground as well as the friendliness of the staff. Ms Suzanne deserves the highest of praise for saving our trip and going above and beyond to accommodate us. We look forward to a return trip and experiencing more of their offerings in the future. We had the most relaxing, peaceful and enjoyable time. It was amazing! Thank you so much Ms Suzanne and the entire staff at Adventures Unlimited! Our joy was truly Unlimited!

My family and I stayed here for two nights. We had a blast! There are so many things to do here! You can go kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, and explore many of the trails that they have available! My family and I will definitely be back! I highly recommend checking this place out! My entire family was left with a great unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime!

I stayed in Katie’s Kaboose with my boyfriend. I gave the room a four star because I didn’t realize how small the bathroom was and there was no door. But everything else was great in the room. It has a nice deck to eat lunch at which I’m glad got fixed during our stay. There was no service out there but I didn’t mind I love to unplug and the location was amazing. There was a short drive to a bigger portion of the creek and we loved it

This was my 3rd time ziplining and I had a blast! My group went with John and Andy, who knew so much about the area and could answer any question we had. They were also very helpful in calming my nerves so I wouldn't take forever getting off the platform😅 Not to mention, this activity was very cheap for what we got (9 lines for $100 per person). By far the best ziplines I've been to. Will definitely consider going back again

I wanted a place where all of my out of town guests could stay together and the Bagdad House was the perfect choice. Rustic, cozy, comfy, and well-maintained. No wifi and Verizon signal, but folks on AT&T had signal.The resort staff was helpful but left us alone to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Second time staying at Adventures Unlimited! Love this place we have stayed at the railroad cars and the Forest Glen Cabin and enjoyed both thoroughly! love being able to walk around and get in the water. Tubing is always so much fun! We will definitely be back they are amazing and always so kind and helpful!

We did the Taste of the Tours zipline adventure on Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023, with Megan and Catherine. We really enjoyed their enthusiasm for the activity, and they kept us entertained and educated. Also got to be VERY close with some complete strangers (shout out to Rachel and her family for being awesome)!

While we adored the river itself, the process of getting to the river was rather complicated and unorganized. The check in ladies were nice, the clip board guy who took our papers and said who was going on which buses was overwhelmed, there was no signage or assistance getting the life jackets and paddles for kayaks and aside from them picking kayaks off the trailer and placing them near the river, I'm not sure what the extra $20 per kayak transport fee was, because we had to move them around, get sorted, etc ourselves. If it wasn't for the bus driver telling us where to exit, we wouldn't have known until it was too late. We enjoyed our trip with friends, and the river, but for the price point of the trip, I had hoped for better.

So we decided to come here towards the end of the school year just before school let out so it was not busy at all. We stayed in Blueberry and it was so cozy! The location is better imo than the others but it’s all in preference. We took our bikes and took every dirt road and paved road. We hiked to the big beach which was funny because my kids got scared and the camera was acting up with them appearing as ghosts 😂 the cabins have the whole kitchen setup with dishes and cookware so cooking was easier than the primitive camping. They have a store with basically anything you’ll need in case you forget. The history was interesting and they have pictures with info right outside the store and the zip lining was so fun. It’s hot though with lots of stairs so take water and the bugs are so annoying so take some bug spray. Lastly our zip line guides were so amazing and fun! Thanks Axel and Megan 😊

Awesome! Took our pop up camper and three small kids for the weekend. Absolutely beautiful. Camping spot close to bath house. Hot showers. Austin was amazing. He was friendly and professional helped with all the little details. He guided us to a great little beach to hang for the day. We went tubing one day. Little expensive but well worth the FUN and memories. Highly recommended.

My organization hosted a picnic/retreat here and it was great. We did not stay overnight but the living quarters looked nice and well maintained.

We had a great time kayaking and staying the weekend. The camp rooms are just a notch above “glamping” No TVs or cell service which was an adventure. No stove, just a cooktop. The rooms weren’t super clean, but not too bad.There are way too many tubes to relax and kayak once you get mid way. The staff is wasn’t super friendly or efficient… but all in all it was a good time and I would do it again. The area is beautiful and the water was COLD! Refreshing in the middle of summer. One more thing, the Palmetto was the house we stayed in. It is “on the water” but not water accessible like the other cabins. Just an FYI.

Edited to include some photos of my favorite highlights of the AUOC venue!We recently had our wedding and reception at AUOC. We utilized the Coldwater Creek Chapel, the Blue Heron Room, Bridal Suite, and prep kitchen; and we stayed in Granny Peaden cabin. It is an absolutely beautiful backdrop for such an event. The cost was fair, the facilities are gorgeous, and my interaction with the staff was pleasant. Tiffany was awesome!! She was so helpful and IMO is truly an asset to AUOC. She was so helpful throughout the entire process from being transparent and responsive during the planning all the way to execution of events.They were so patient with us—let’s face it, no matter how much planning goes in to an event like this it WILL BE chaotic—and their patience did not go unnoticed!Our day was everything we hoped it would be, and if I had it to do all over again, I would 100% pick Adventures Unlimited <3Will update review with photos just as soon as I get the professional photos back!!

I work a side gig as a DJ for Boogie Inc and I always bring my camera along to capture some photos to use to promote Boogie Inc and my wedding photography services. When my boss told me I would be DJing a wedding at Adventures Unlimited, I looked at her kind of sideways because I didn't know AV hosted events.The wedding and reception were both held outside and were absolutely beautiful! The staff were very friendly and helpful to me and my partner. We played music well into the night and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I look forward to the day when I'm booked as a wedding photographer at Adventures Unlimited in the future.

RV Camping and Tubing trip. Sites were clean, staff professional and friendly. Bath house had good water pressure and hot water however structure in need of maintenance. Would give it a 3 out of 5 but the rest of the campsite an 8. Highly recommend to friends & family. Prices are on the higher side .

Did the Ultimate Double Zip adventure. Katherine and Colton were our guides for the adventure, and did an excellent job! The camp store had a variety or items that were good quality, not the cheap stuff you find in a a lot of camp stores. We will definitely use them again if we are back in the area.

I had my wedding and reception here early December 2022. We had booked the venue early 2022. This is a very beautiful venue. Both the dias and the reception barn. However, this place is not accommodating to couples at all. Each room in the reception barn, including the "kitchen" and the bridal room, are separate expenses. This is a gouging opportunity and they took it. We were able to ask for an additional hour the night before to set up for our wedding AND reception. Per the contract you're really only allowed ONE. We were allowed the extra hour if we "didn't require air conditioning while setting up." You're given a total of 12 hours on your wedding day from start to finish.. which also is a squeeze when you're planning and preparing a wedding for 150+ people. Let me just say the staff is wonderful as I know this is not their rules that they're adhering to. During my reception, one of the staff members came and turned the overhead lights off because, "they're not supposed to be on." We received an email TWO days before my wedding saying that the warming oven in the kitchen was not working.. but no discount offered. There is no ice machine so you have to bring coolers upon coolers filled with ice and just hope that it's enough. We rented a cabin, Osprey, the night before and the night of our wedding and it was so awful that we didn't even stay the night of the wedding. The bed was terrible. There were bugs falling on us while we slept and many other critters through out the cabin. I understand that this is in the middle of the woods and can be expected, but I want to warn others who may also have bug phobias. They are accommodating as far as allowing you to take pictures with your photographer at the other venue sites/locations which was wonderful. But I would 10/10 not recommend this place to hold your wedding. It's obvious throughout your whole experience that money is and object/issue.

My family and I love kayaking together at Adventure Unlimited. The price is reasonable, all the employees are super helpful, informative, and friendly.We have been here several times. I highly recommend adventure unlimited for great family fun and quality time

If you want to go float down the river this is the best company hands down to go with and I’ve been to Bob’s Canoe’s and Blackwater Canoe. Adventures Unlimited has the best quality and the most accommodating staff. They are the best. They also make sure you don’t have too many people floating down the river with so it’s not too crowded. 5 stars consistently every time we have been here and it’s our 4th time. Christian is especially great on the staff. Thanks for the great time!
