Details

Discover Sanctuary Bay: Sanctuary Bay is a natural 9-acre lagoon and home to 12 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Established in 1999, it’s been recognized for its focus on education through interaction.

Dolphin Encounter: Learn about these dolphins while they splash and jump around you. Then, step onto a submerged platform where you will pet, kiss and hug a dolphin. Your dolphin trainer will educate and entertain you with facts about these amazing creatures and tell you more about the facility, where they live and how the dolphins are cared for.

Bird Experience: Explore the bird patio, home to macaws, cockatoos and African tortoises of all sizes. Animal care staff will be on hand to safely handle the birds while you take some “insta-worthy” photos.
