Dolphin Meet & Greet

Come Behind The Scenes And Get Up Close With One Of Our Amazing Dolphins!

After enjoying reserved seating during one of the Zoo’s scheduled Dolphin Presentations, participants will be led to the back pools of the Ascension St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion, where they will have the opportunity for a quick animal interaction.

Each guest will get a double “high-five” from one of the members of the dolphin pod!
