Theater of the Sea - 6 Adult Admission Certificates

Established in 1946 by the P.F. McKenney family, Theater of the Sea is one of the oldest marine mammal facilities in the world. The McKenney family still owns and operates the park today.

Originally a rock quarry excavated for Henry Flagler's railroad in the early 1900's, 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, and birds.  Twelve million gallons of ocean water are pumped in daily to supply water to the three-acre natural salt-water lagoons.

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. 

Theater of the Sea is open 365 days a year. Ticket counter hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Office and reservation hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

After enjoying the exhibits, shows and programs, guests can browse in our unique gift shop, dine at Nicky’s grill, and visit our private lagoon-side beach to snorkel, sunbathe, or just relax.
