Fodor's Review:

This classic but aging visitor attraction stages shows with sea lions, dolphins, and Lolita the killer whale. The Crocodile Flats exhibit has 26 Nile crocodiles. Discovery Bay, an endangered mangrove habitat, is home to indigenous Florida fish and rays, alligators, herons, egrets, and ibis. You can visit a shark pool, a tropical reef aquarium, and West Indian manatees. The big draw now is the Swim with Our Dolphins program. A two-hour session offers one-on-one interaction with the dolphins. It's expensive—$199 to touch, kiss, and swim with them on the Dolphin Odyssey, $139 ($99 for kids) to participate in the shallow water Dolphin Encounter—but the price does include park admission, towel, wet suit, and snacks. Call or book online for reservations, which are required.

Cost: $29.95. Dolphin swim program $199, parking $7
Open: Daily 9:30-6, last admission 4:30; dolphin swim daily at 9:30, 11:30, and 2:30
