Gulf World is a nice break from the countless miniature golf courses and endless days at the beach that are certain occupy some of your time while in Panama City Beach. The animal shows that are offered at Gulf World are free with admission and you can actually plan your entire visit to see all of the shows while taking time to enjoy the many other things the park has to offer easily due to the multiple show times offered. The Sea Lion and Dolphin shows are a few of the high points along with the Stingray petting pool.
