You will be able to tour behind-the-scenes to see the kitchen where dolphin meals are prepared daily. Next, you will go pool side with one of our marine mammal trainers for a truly unique introduction to our dolphins. All participants are given the opportunity for a close encounter with one of our dolphins and will learn the fundamentals of dolphin training. You will receive a commemorative picture of your encounter as well as a packet of important marine conservation information for participating. Our dolphins can’t wait to meet you!
