DOLPHIN KIDS

Our small-group Dolphin Kids encounters are specially designed for children ages four through nine and guided by expert marine mammal specialists who ensure a safe and fun experience. In this hands-on program, children wearing life jackets enter a specially designed shallow water pool where they are welcomed by the unique vocalizations of our highly trained Pacific Bottlenose dolphins. Parents can relax and watch from the observation area, knowing that all our marine mammal encounter programs, including Dolphin Kids, have an excellent safety record. During the encounter, children have the chance to pet and hug the dolphins, explore their fascinating anatomy up close, shake fins, and even receive a wet dolphin kiss—an unforgettable moment that kids absolutely love. This program combines education, interaction, and fun, creating a magical experience that introduces young children to the wonders of marine life in a safe and supportive environment.
