Enjoy the amazing backdrop of our Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swimming while you and your guests dine in Dolphin Bay®. Entertain your guests with over 250 species of aquatic life in our Amazon, Islands of Steel and Flower Gardens exhibits while enjoying food stations along the way. Engage your guests with an array of animal shows or interactive experiences like hugging a dolphin or going behind the scenes to see above our 125,000 gallon shark exhibit. The possibilities are endless! We are here to make your vision of the perfect evening come to life!
