There’s even a chance to have your kids participate in helping feed the dolphins. My son was so excited to be on stage and we proudly cheered him on from the crowd. The employees are super helpful and informative. Whenever we had questions, they had an answer. The atmosphere was so relaxed, to say that so many fun things were happening and so many animals to be aware of!

Here’s an exact list on what to do:

  • Head to the Aviary for a fun-filled Mascaw and Parrot show. Afterwards check out the Tweeter Post and feed the resident parakeets. 
  • Enjoy a fun-filled, exciting show with the Sea Lions and Dolphins at the Dolphin & Sea Lion Arena. 
  • Get up close to view the sea lions and dolphins at the Underwater Viewing Area.
  • Visit the Ray Pool and pet stingrays. 
  • Let the little ones run off some steam at the Pirate Cove Playground.
  • Grab a quick bite to eat at the Turtle Cafe.
  • Stop by the Gift Shop for a souvenir to remember your visit.
