Frequently asked questions

What is the dolphin experience upgrade?
The dolphin experience upgrade allows up to 20 children, age five and older, to touch one of our dolphins. The birthday child will get to touch twice. A photo opportunity of the birthday child may be purchased for an additional $15, during which our photographers will take their photo while they receive a dolphin kiss.

What is provided?
We provide plates, napkins, and utensils. Additional paper products are provided with the purchase of the food package. Your party room will come pre-decorated in a marine theme.

What should we bring?
You may bring cake and ice cream. Additional outside food may only be brought in with the purchase of the food package. You may bring additional decorations, but may not affix anything to the walls or ceiling. Balloons, confetti, and glass bottles are prohibited.

What if the weather is bad?
In the event of inclement weather, every effort will be made to provide alternative activities to the outdoor dolphin and sea lion show. This may include a reptile presentation, fossil dig in our museum, or a group craft.
