Come in your swimwear and towel. Cubbies/lockers are available for personal gear.
Dolphin Encounter and Swim Adventure participants share the same pool, so your group may include guests from both programs.
During cooler weather, neoprene jackets are available upon request for use during your program. Personal wetsuits are not allowed.
Life Jackets: All participants must wear a life jacket supplied by Marineland Dolphin Adventure.
Jewelry: For the health and safety of our animals, all loose items and jewelry (including piercings and permanent jewelry) must be removed prior to the start of all dolphin interactions.
Photography: Let our professional photographers capture your unforgettable dolphin experience. Digital photo packages are available for purchase. Personal cameras and phones are not permitted in the dolphin program areas. Non-participating guests are welcome to take photos from the observation area.
Special Needs: To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants, please let us know of any emotional, behavioral, physical, or medical conditions that may affect a guest's participation. This allows us to determine appropriate accommodations whenever possible.
