The Florida Gulfarium has many opportunities for individual and businesses to support over 200 marine mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and more! The Gulfarium relies on contributions, admission fees and membership dues to meet its operating expenses, and does not receive ongoing governmental support. While admission fees and membership dues account for the largest portion of the Gulfariums' revenues, additional programs such as Adopt An Animal, Buy A Brick and corporate and personal donations ensure that the Gulfarium keep smiling faces coming back!

Corporate Functions
The Gulfarium offers an outstanding venue for any corporate function — from annual meetings to sales presentations to company holiday parties. The Living Sea can hold up to 150 people and is the newly renovated. It’s a 50,000 gallon aquarium with many species of fish. All Gulfarium Corporate Members receive discounted rentals. Our on-staff expert event planner will assist you with all the details, including catering, audiovisual equipment, entertainment and any other needs you might have.

Behind-the-Scenes Tours
This special opportunity is included as a part of all corporate membership packages at the Patron level and above.  These private tours allow small groups to discover the inner workings of the Gulfarium.

Corporate Community Fund
Corporate partners have the option of donating some or all of their admission passes or family memberships to kids and families that would not be able to visit the Gulfarium without this support.

Recognition
All Corporate Partners will receive recognition for their generous support on signage throughout the facility at the Patron level and above, as well as listings on the web site and in the annual report.
