Theater of the Sea Animal Interaction Programs take place in lagoons and lush, tropical gardens that are home to dolphins, sea lions, sea turtles, fish, sharks, stingrays, alligators, and birds, and the facility includes a lagoon-side beach. The park is open 365 days a year, is family owned, is cashless, and offers free parking. The park is dog friendly, allowing well behaved leashed dogs in most areas if owners clean up after them, but all dogs, including service dogs, are prohibited at Parrot Theater. Non-participating guests may observe their party’s program poolside with general admission to the park and shows, and general admission is included for guests participating in an animal interaction program. Premier Swim with the Dolphin includes trained behaviors like dorsal tows as well as swimming and diving underwater with the dolphins, and the Ultimate Private Swim with the Dolphin is a private deep or shallow water interaction for up to 6 guests with 2 dolphins and includes photos, towels, sunscreen, and bottled water for each participant. Theater of the Sea states that it has been “loving and caring since 1946,” and its mission is to provide a home for its animals while sharing them with visitors in up close and personal shows and interaction programs. Theater of the Sea is described as holding accreditations and certifications from organizations that are not specified in the provided information.
