As others have said- it’s really nice- takes only about 1-2 hours tops to visit.
For eating- Old Town Bay St Louis is your friend. Shaggys has become too commercialized- I long for the days of Original Shaggy’s in Pass when they had the canvas boat windows and Smile (at least that was her stripper name) was a waitress there.
Go to Trapani’s- still the best food on the Coast- and because of all the places to eat now- it’s not totally packed all the time.
Ask to sit upstairs on the balcony

The children's museum has a bunch of interactive activity areas for kids. It's not kids in cages or stuffed exhibits. I just don't want anyone else to be disappointed like I was.
I read this out loud to my family, we are laughing so hard we are crying.

There are two marine parks/aquariums. One is the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and the other is the Mississippi Aquarium. The former has dolphins.
The aquarium has dolphins too

If you have a 4 year old I recommend going to Lynn Meadows Discovery Center after the aquarium. The aquarium is small, so you will go through it quickly. You will have plenty of time to go the the Discovery Center without wearing down a 4 year old too much. It’s not worth the trip over by itself, but if you are going anyway it’s worth it for a child that age.

Downtown Gulfport has a bunch of really good restaurants.
Salute's- Italian and Seafood
Patio 44- Seafood
Half Shell Oyster House- seafood
Tony's Pizzaria- Pizza and Pasta
Murky Waters- BBQ
Rackhouse- fantastic steakhouse and best bourbon selection around
Take the kids to Pop's Brothers for a refreshing treat

Coast Roast is right next to Pops if you need a coffee

It’s nice, but I think it’s overpriced for the size and exhibits.
I would eat at Steve’s Marina in Long Beach

Trapani's still exists?
Damn. I can vouch for that place but it's been 20+ years.

Shaggy’s is great, preferably the one in Pass Christian on the water over the docks.
Shaggy's is fun, but Bacchus and Sea Level are both better eats in Pass Christian

Aquariums are outrageously expensive to build, then you have to acquire the animals which is also expensive. The prices may come down, but probably not for a while.

That is a good choice, Harbor View is our favorite Long Beach eatery.
The Coast is very blessed with a ton of great locally owned places to eat

Do the Ocean Adventures Marine Park instead! Aquarium is too expensive and not very big

True for most aquariums
Their mech/elec overhead is huge

Felix’s is a good place to eat. I prefer it over Shaggys.

My daughter went a few weeks ago and she liked it. I don’t have many details

You also have to resist the temptation to sautee them to a delicious golden brown hue and serve them with french fries and meuniere sauce.
