Was it me or does it look like the Seaquarium hasn't changed since it first opened in 1955? I mean they have nice paint and landscaping here and there but other than that, no real significant upgrades have been made? Tanks are the same size, small and dirty. Why is that? I would think for it being in Miami and being on the water that it would be nicer especially for the tourists. Maybe they are keeping it like that for nostalgia reasons, the good ol' Flipper days? Seems like many other projects in Miami have millions poured into it by investors who what their name on the outside of the building, why not the Seaquarium? Can we as a club do something it like start a GoFundMe campaign?

Seaquarium just did pour millions into their park.lol... With PETA and Lummi Tribe, I don't think anyone wants to have their name or be associated with them at the moment.

Plus, SeaWorld biggest changed happened last year. The are not breeding orca's anymore. The orca shows already eneded in San Diego last year and here in Orlando they will end the shows by 2019. Being that's seaquarium biggest attraction... AND when the whales dies or IF they release it back to the wild(dont see that happening) not sure it's a wise investment unless they revamp (take down) that whole park & add more better attraction since i dont see a new whale in their future unless a bigger tank goes in, but I could be wrong.
