You've Got to Sea It to Believe It!

To provide a wonderful home for our animals while sharing them with visitors in ways that inspire awareness and sensitivity towards animals, the environment, and conservation issues.
 
THEATER OF THE SEA is an educational and entertaining marine animal park where performances are up close and personal and marine animals live in natural saltwater lagoons. We offer several animal interaction programs enabling guests to get up close and personal with our dolphins, sea lions and stingrays. Advance reservations by phone or in person for these programs is highly recommended as they are extremely popular. We cannot accept reservations online or by fax.

The lagoons and lush, tropical gardens at the facility are home to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, sea turtles, tropical and game fish, sharks, stingrays, crocodiles, alligators, marine invertebrates, parrots, and birds-of-prey.  

While some of our animals were collected and others were born here, many are non releasable as a result of imprinting and/or injuries sustained in the wild.  The health and well being of the animals takes precedence over all other interests and their care and maintenance is supported by patronage alone. 

Wild birds and racoons are commonly seen in the park. Even though the animals are accustomed to being around people, it is important to remember they are wild. Feeding these animals not only disrupts their natural feeding habits, but it creates a danger and a nuisance for other park visitors. For your safety and the safety of the animals, feeding them is strictly prohibited.

Theater of the Sea is open 365 days a year.  The ticket counter opens at 9:30 a.m. EST daily.
