Ready to play?
It’s crucial to your wellbeing!
Research reveals that the value of play is immense – even for adults.
Play is a fundamental way for adults to manage stress, build connections, enhance creativity, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Psychiatrist Dr. Stuart Brown explains, "The opposite of play isn't work: it's depression. The adult-play deficit is becoming a public health crisis."
Fortunately, we've got you covered! At Marineland, you'll spend time with intelligent dolphins who are experts at play! They'll have you tapped into your joy in no time. Play time with dolphins benefits you and the dolphins too! It's a win-win.
Hanging out with dolphins is the perfect compliment to a healthy, inspired lifestyle. Plus, your involvement at Marineland helps keep this historic dolphin habitat sustainable for the dolphins who live there!
Meaningful moments…
We have witnessed many transformative moments between dolphins and humans.
Some of those moments were so obvious that joyous tears streamed down the cheeks of everyone involved.
Other profound moments with dolphins were more subtle and only revealed when a participant shared their private story with us.
While our science teams are still investigating the exact biological and energetic processes taking place during these sessions, the reports from our participants are clear – hanging out with dolphins is one of the most uplifting activities people have experienced!
Your Wellness Experience
Interact with the dolphins using a unique interface for communication – the Dolphin Emoji Game.
You'll have fun interacting with the dolphins in our specialized evolving enrichment program and two-way communication game, the Dolphin Emoji Game, designed to ultimately allow the dolphins to direct their own daily activities.
Through your participation, you'll help make this communication goal possible. You'll be learning the game right along with the dolphins. Teamwork in action! This program is available for both in-water sessions and keep-you-dry poolside sessions.
Enjoy our inspiring classes with amazing true dolphin stories, the history of dolphins' influence upon human culture, fascinating aspects of dolphin anatomy, and the bottlenose dolphins' role within the entire Cetacean Nation – the family tree of all dolphins, whales and porpoises. Visit our beautiful saltwater aquarium collection with delicate corals, anemones and fish. Learn about the Right Whales just off shore our beach.
Discover the latest in dolphin research from the scientists and marine mammal experts. You'll love our vision for a new level of teamwork with the dolphins.
Effective mindfulness sessions and daily energy balancing techniques to benefit you in the moment and at home – all the perfect ingredients to help you gain the most from your time at Marineland among the dolphins and the experts who care for them.
Become empowered with meaningful talking points about wellness and dolphins to share with your family and social circles. Your voice counts!
Help build the future in Human-Dolphin Partnerships by participating in our new Wellness Programs. You'll be talking about this experience for years to come!
Choose from keep-you-dry poolside programs or in-water dolphin interactions.
What's Happening At Marineland?
“We’ve recently experienced a miracle, when against all odds, our community coalition successfully saved this important historic dolphin habitat from being demolished, which would have resulted in the dolphins being removed from their familiar home and social groups.
Established in 1938, Marineland is where dolphins first came to live among humans and is the birthplace of much of the world's current knowledge about dolphins. It has a highly successful record of dolphins living very long lives in this habitat.
As the world’s first oceanarium, this iconic dolphin habitat is officially recognized for its significance in American history on the National Register of Historic Places. In the fall of 2025, it was almost lost forever yet our community coalition prevailed.
Through unprecedented collaboration between dolphin-loving folks of all kinds – local residents, high school students, dolphin experts, real estate developers, attorneys, and even a federal judge – the dolphins can continue their important efforts among humanity at Marineland.
We believe the dolphins still have much to teach us. They are ready and willing to partner with us, to lead the way evolving human-dolphin relations – for the sake of our oceans and our world.
Now, our work together embarks upon a new chapter of marine education, dolphin research, wellness programs and global stewardship. You have a special role to play! Are you ready to create your own meaningful connections with dolphins?”
