If you know a child who dreams of becoming a dolphin trainer, this is the perfect opportunity for them. Dolphin Trainer 101 provides young people* with a chance to explore the world of dolphins. Experience what it takes to be a dolphin trainer and get to know the members of our dolphin pod. Over the course of two full days, participants will learn how we train and care for our dolphins through special behind-the-scenes experiences in our Dolphin Pavilion, including attending the dolphin show, and meeting the trainers, dolphins and other marine mammals. Participants will learn how to individually identify our dolphins and how scientists study dolphins in the wild. All of this leads up to the ultimate experience, venturing into the water to meet our wonderful dolphins up close and personal. *Participants must be at least 4 feet 6 inches tall and 10-14 years of age to participate in this program.
