    Feeling at home

    Our Mig loved visiting the dolphins, macaws, seals, tortoises and the welcoming staff. He and rascal especially enjoyed the dolphin boat tour.

    Awesome Adventure

    Awesome experience. The shows were amazing, relaxed schedule, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Our 2 Doodles love it. They watched the shows, swam at the beach. We go again when we are in the area

    A must-see!

    Our Oliver was in awe of the marine life, and we loved seeing his curiosity. A must-see to enjoy with your furry friend!

    Great place!

    We had to stop here, based on other reviews. To our disappointment, our English Springer could not care less about the animals! He is a rescue and we joked that maybe he was raised by marine mammals. His favorite part was the beach and the path to it. The staff were all super welcoming though and the work they do to rescue animals made the price of admission worth it. Also, we went mid-week and the crowds were not bad. Definitely recommend the stop, just know that not all dogs react the same.

    Go! Go!

    this is truly one of the best animal interactions we have ever been too!! Bringing our pup was the icing on the cake and seeing his reactions to the dolphins and sea lions- it was like watching my child’s face come to life! simply amazing!

    Great park

    we had a great time at the park. it was hot but our dogs were able to wade in the water at the little beach. the dolphin show was wonderful. our one dog was fascinated with the sea lions and the parrots. great opportunity to get up close to the animals!!

    Super dog friendly! Great day outing!

    Dogs are more than welcome everywhere here except the Bird Show tent, but there is plenty of room to stand just outside and watch the show.

    Perfect place

    I visited this place yesterday with my dog and family and we loved it especially since our dog Bella could accompany us. This place is very dog friendly. Bella was allowed all around the park and all the shows except the Parrot show. We even went on the bottomless boat ride and Bella loved seeing the dolphins do tricks.

    Fantastic!

    Great spot for dogs to meet ocean life! The staff are as friendly as could be. You can't take take dogs into the parrot show, but we were told that we can stand off to the side to watch, which was still a great view. Awesome attraction, would recommend.

    Great Outing!

    Theatre of the sea was fantastic and very accommodating for my golden retriever! He loved the sea lion show the most (I couldn’t get him to leave at the end!!!). We will return on our next trip to the Keys!

    Awesome Fantastic Place

    NIkita so enjoyed her time here. They are truly the most dog friendly place in the Keys. From check-in to Dolphin swim everyone greeted our German Shepherd, Nikita, with love, pets, praises, and water. Even at their small beach location the staff brought Nikita a water bowl. Our trainer at the Dolphin swim treated Nikita with love and allowed her to visit with the curious dolphins, I think they really wanted to play with her. Totally awesome great place to bring your fur baby!

    HIghly recommend

    Multple dogs were on site when we went. I agree with the last review you get super close to the animals. Nice walking area for a dog to stretch their legs.

    Great Experience

    No other time would your dog get to encounter all these animals. The staff was great. The shows were great. The little beach to cool off was great. All the staff even offered to get her a bowl to get water. It was a great time!!!

    Great location

    So much fun! The only shows we’ll behaved dogs aren’t allowed in are the bottomless boat ride/show and the parrot show. She loved the dolphin show and sea lion show :)

    nice time for well behaved dogs

    Nice park and our German Shepherds had a good time. Can get really close to the dolphins and sea creatures. Was very hot the day we were there so we didn’t stay for all the shows but there is a small beach that we could let dogs swim in to cool off. The beach is very small so I can’t imagine how it would be if there was more than our 2 dogs there. If your dogs freak out by other animals, then I wouldn’t recommend but our guys had a great time.
