A Real Parent's Story
My daughter touched a dolphin and announced her future career
“After the dolphin encounter, my 6-year-old said 'I'm going to be a dolphin doctor.' She's drawn dolphins every day for a month.”
Read full story
The dolphin encounter costs $45 extra. The trainer let each kid touch the dolphin and make a hand signal. My daughter was completely transfixed. She's been single-mindedly about dolphins ever since.
— Nathan, dad of 2 from Atlanta
