Enhance your visit to the Aquarium and participate in a behind-the-scenes tour, a Deckside Dolphin Encounter or even become a dolphin Trainer for a Day! Shake “hands” or even get a kiss from a dolphin when you sign-up for your own Deckside Dolphin Encounter. As a Trainer for a Day, you can learn the methods we use to train our dolphins and put your new skills into practice during a Dolphin Show. You can also discover our animals and plants in front of our galleries, and then follow our guide and rediscover life behind the scenes.
Experience daily dive shows, animal feedings, training sessions, and “hands on” programs with sharks and stingrays. Relax in our underwater dolphin room or cool off with a treat from the Water’s Edge Food Court. With so much to see and do… what are you waiting for?
