Member-exclusive event!
Begin the evening with an exclusive dolphin experience led by our expert trainers, featuring up-close views and behind-the-scenes storytelling you won’t experience during regular Zoo hours. As a bonus, guests will see the Zoo’s new dolphins for the first time! These dolphins are not yet on exhibit for public viewing.
After the experience, enjoy cocktails and a candlelit dinner in the Ascension St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion—an intimate, after-hours setting. One complimentary drink is included for each guest. Each guest also receives a Zoo admission ticket valid for a future visit—perfect to enjoy yourself or share as a gift.
With limited seating, private tables and rare access to both the dolphins and their space, Dine with the Dolphins is a refined night of connection, discovery and wonder.
