Description

This landscaped tropical garden and marine attraction has shows with talented dolphins, sea lions, penguins, and more. Not to be upstaged, parrots perform daily, too. Scuba demonstrations, shark feedings, and underwater shows keep the crowds entertained. The park has special interactive programs, including a trainer-for-a-day program ($199 per person) and a dolphin encounter ($150). Allow about 3 1/2 hours to see it all, more if you do one of the encounters. Note: Swimming with dolphins has both its critics and its supporters.
