Has anyone done the Secret Garden/Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage in Las Vegas? If so, is it worth seeing?

Is it free? I thought it cost $15.00?

Its nice especially if ya like dolphins. The grounds are really beautiful like a tropical garden, but other than that is is not spectacular, but then again since it is free who's complaining

Don't go in 105-degree heat like I did, but it was pretty nice. The garden part is a zoo with lions and tigers and other animals. The dolphin part has an underground viewing section where you can watch the dolphins, and a pool where they perform tricks. If you take your time and enjoy animals, it's worth the money. (It's definitely not free. Someone's probably thinking of the display at the entrance of the Mirage.) Of course there's a nice gift shop, too.

I went to the Dolphin Habitat and Secret Garden in late March and it was really good! Totally worth it - especially if you've never seen dolphins before in real life! It's definitely good for children too, but my boyfriend and I went with his mother and we all really enjoyed it. It costs about $15.00 each for adults (cheaper for children, and students too I believe...as well as seniors of course!) You can go to www.themirage.com and find pictures and information there if you're really interested in going. But, I would honestly take my word for it. It's a really nice, relaxing atmosphere that you can stroll along at your own pace. They have nice, clean public restrooms and a friendly staff also. It's definitely a two to three hour ordeal. It's fun - I would highly recommend going!

We saw it a few years ago and at that time it was $10 per person I think. I wouldn't go again. The dolphins are pretty cool, but the Secret Garden is kind of a joke. There is an elephant and a couple white tigers ... maybe some other animals.

I've gone almost every year for the last 10. I think the price is $10 or $15 for both, I don't remember exactly. But, you can spend the whole day if you want to.
I think it's worth it for looking at the animals, and the secret garden itself is just a soothing place.

We went there when we went to Vegas last year and it was nice. I'm not so sure I'd go again but it was nice. I would not however go to the shark exhibit in Mandalay Bay, it was an oversized fish tank and you pay $10 or $15 to get in...very lame...I thought anyway. Other than that someone already mentioned the flamingos and the MGM Lions! My advise: have fun, we love it there and are going back in 2008!

I've been there several times, its worth seeing. Also the Mandalay bay hotel has a shark reef exibit that's pretty nice. I've also been to the outdoor famingo habitat at the flamingo hotel. I've also read that MGM has a glass lion enclosure in their lobby.

It's ok. I wouldn't see it a second time. It's basically a dolphin show in an outdoor pool. Nothing really great.

I liked it.... It's worth seeing. The place is beautiful. (I think it was 15 too)
