Throughout history, humans have forged strong connections with dolphins. Today, we have a much greater understanding of these animals than we did in the past. But how much do we really know about this beautiful and intelligent species?
Team up with our marine mammal staff to uncover answers to some of the questions you have about dolphins. You’ll go on an incredible adventure that leads you through several interactive research stations and into a unique, one-of-a-kind session with our dolphin family.
Great for families, scout groups and individuals alike—together, you’ll discover that there is much more to dolphins than meets the eye!
