Back to Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat Love it! This is a great place and so worth the money. Anyone that says otherwise was either expecting a show (and it is made clear that the Secret Garden isn't about that at all), doesn't truly love animals all that much, or doesn't appreciate/understand how rare white lions and tigers are. And heck, every time I go there is a baby dolphin swimming around. For that alone I'd pay $15 to see!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 09 2009 Disappointing don't waste the $15.00 This is not worth the money they charge. Its not a research facility as they say and the habitats are what the zoo's used to have before they got smart and gave the animals more room. If this is a legacy to Sigfield and Roy the Mirage should be ashamed. Let the animals go to a sancuary where at least they might be happy.
Reviewed by: Donna P from on Oct 20 2009 It's Vegas I read some of these posts after I went to see this habitat. I believe sitting at a slot machine is way more a waste of money than looking at wild animals close and enjoying thier everyday lives. I felt like I got something for my money. If you are looking for another thing to do ladies try pole dance lessons at Pole Worx.
Reviewed by: Katie from on Oct 17 2009 Ok It was worth the money for 15 $ i didnt expect a show and for anyone who does is an idiot, seaworld charges 60 $ so really for 15$ what do you expect? there were younger tigers that were cute, and to the people who were dissapointed they wernt tiny anymore, are you that stupid? how long do you think tigers sta small for seriously. all in all it was ok def no seaworld but ok
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Oct 13 2009 Beautiful!!! We enjoyed visiting this place so much, we went back 2 days in a row to see it again. You get to be so close to the animals and they seem to be in their natural environment. The baby dolphin was a blast to watch!!
Reviewed by: Dwight from on Aug 26 2009 It was ok I was there back in May 09' and the animals were a tad bit lazy. Cute, but lazy. We got in free because we signed up for a timeshare presentation. I would not have waisted $15.00 to see sleeping animals, but it was nice to watch them anyway.
Reviewed by: Yo-Yo from on Jul 29 2009 One of Las Vegas Biggest Rip offs Brochure is very misleading. There is no scheduled Dolphin show as the pictures would imply. Everyone is there to see the White Baby Tiger as shown. He wasn't there that we could find. We paid $15.00 just to maintain the grounds. Save the $15.00 fee to spend on a Taxi ride back to the Airport.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 22 2009 It was ok For the price you would think it would be something really cool. they dont have actual dolphin shows you just watch them in their "natural" inviroment. (which is them at the gate waiting to get out) The cats just sleep but if you are in there long enough people actually go in the cages and try to wake them up and make them play which is a plus.
Reviewed by: Julie from on Mar 23 2009 Shark reef better value For the cost I expected more. There was not a lot of info given to you on the animals and they did not have the dolphins preform for you. The lions look better here then at the MGM but you can see the ones at the MGM for free.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Mar 03 2009 NO NO NO.......This was Horrible. Like other reviewers thought - this place was a HUGE disappointment! You get to gaze at a handful of dolphins swimming in a couple of pools. They have no show (they say because it's a research facility) so there's no excitement there. The caged cats were lifeless and in such small pens that we left feeling very sorry for them, they can't even run. That was it! Seriously! Oh, they had a trainer dozing in a glass room with a leopard cub (sweet job if you can get it!). I couldn't believe I spent $15/person to fly through that. It should be free. Go over to the Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef and spend the money there- well worth it! And then head over to the MGM Grand and see the FREE lion habitat. Those lions are at least awake and will play with the trainers that are in there.
