Theater of the Sea, established in 1946, is the second oldest marine mammal facility in the world. Its natural salt water lagoon was originally a quarry that supplied rock for Henry Flagler’s famous railroad which opened the Keys to the rest of the country in the early 1900’s.

Today the lagoon is home to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, sea turtles, tropical  and game fish, sharks, stingrays and other forms of marine life. Their 17-acre tropical paradise is also home to wild and exotic birds, lizards and crocodilians.

They are an educational and entertaining  marine animal park where performances are up close and personal. At Theater of the Sea you can swim with dolphins, sea lions, and stingrays in their natural salt water lagoons through their interactive swim programs. The lagoons, and lush, tropical gardens are home to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, sea turtles, tropical and game fish, sharks, stingrays, alligators, marine invertebrates, colorful parrots, and birds-of-prey.

While some of their animals were collected and others were born there, 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.
