Non Profit 501(c)(3) Providing Sanctuary and a Forever Home since 1984. Bring your family to meet our family at Dolphin Research Center, a nonprofit marine mammal education and research facility. Most of the dolphins were born here representing multiple generations. Others, and the sea lions, came from rescues or other facilities. We provide a loving, forever home for all. Experience their different “dolphinalities” in sessions that include high-flying acrobatics, research, playtime, and training. Enjoy educational presentations in our theater. Choose from a number of fun-filled interactive programs including swimming with dolphins! The dolphins choose to participate, forging connections that inspire champions for conservation in our world.

A professional photographer is provided with the purchase of the Dolphin Encounter and the Family Dolphin Splash. The photos taken are available for purchase. Any device with you in the water must be tethered to you and must be able to float.
I will be going with two kids, 9 & 7. Should we do the “play with dolphin” or the “family splash with dolphin” the time frame is the same. The duration seems to be the same according to the website, is there any difference between the two?

The main difference between the two programs is the Play with a Dolphin program is on a dock only. You do not enter the water. With the Family Dolphin Splash, you are in the water about waist deep for adults.
We are visiting Marathon in April but have limited time. Which would be better, the Dolphin Encounter or the Aquarium? Not interested in getting in the water, just want a 2 hour time filler for older teenagers.
答:
If your kids have always enjoyed dolphins go to research center for sure. You can just walk around and not get in the water. You can see the dolphins up close.
We are making a special trip to DRC for my daughter’s birthday, and we are thinking about getting her the trainer for the day package. She says she wants to be a marine biologist! My husband and I don’t really want to swim with the dolphins or anything, but we would love to watch her. My question is... it’s a day long, educational program. How much would we get to see of her participating in it?
答:
Well I don’t work there but have swam with the dolphins. Changed my life. Encourage your daughter to be a marine vet. Not a lot of lucrative employment for marine biologists.
