We came for the Dolphin Connection and it was amazing! The staff are so nice and educated. The dolphins were so enthusiastic about the experience too. And the staff works around the dolphins; Tatum wanted to play and swim rather than cooperate so we could get in the way, so the flexible and caring staff took us over to the other dolphins so Tatum could do what he wanted. He was excited, he was younger and whenever we'd walk by his area he'd come up like he was begging for our attention. The dolphins are happy and taken care of. Someone mentioned about them being in captivity and what they may realize is that not all dolphins can be "set free". Lucky cannot hunt for himself so if he was set free he wouldn't survive. Not sure about all the other dolphins, but they came from other facilities so they are already too close to humans to be able to fend for themselves as well. Anyway, this place is great! They gave us a lot of interaction with the dolphins and the dolphins loved the attention!
