Coral World Ocean Park

Stop on St Thomas Island Paradise, a free self-guided tour.

Discover Coral World Ocean Park, the island's premier marine attraction on the northeast coast. This unique facility combines aquariums, outdoor exhibits, and ocean experiences.

Above ground, tanks house sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and Caribbean reef species with informative displays. The touch pool allows hands-on interaction with starfish, sea cucumbers, and other marine invertebrates. The walk-through aviary features tropical birds in a lush garden setting. For additional cost, enhanced experiences include swimming with sea lions, meeting dolphins, helmet diving in the Coral Reef Encounter, or watching trainers interact with marine mammals. The Marine Gardens trail showcases native Caribbean plants. Conservation messaging emphasizes reef protection and marine ecosystem health. The facility sits next to Coki Beach, allowing easy beach access after visiting. The gift shop offers quality marine-themed items and educational materials. Shows and feeding times are scheduled throughout the day. Allow 3-4 hours for a thorough visit. This attraction perfectly suits families, marine enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Caribbean underwater life.
