Fodor's Review:

The 1963 movie Flipperpopularized the notion of humans interacting with dolphins, and Milton Santini, the film's creator, also opened this center, which is home to a colony of dolphins and sea lions. The nonprofit center has tours, narrated programs, and programs that allow you to greet the dolphins from dry land or play with them in their watery habitat. You can even paint a T-shirt with a dolphin—you pick the paint, the dolphin "designs" your shirt ($55). The center also offers five-day programs for children and adults with disabilities.

Cost: $19.50
Open: Daily 9-4:30.

seemed VERY $$ to me.Just north heading back up on right is another dolphin exhibit that I enjoyed more,sorry I cant remember its name.

Note this advertise $19.50 is a entrance fee only any sort of photos or interactive activies are where the extreme cost come in to the picture.
