DRC's newest interactive program gives participants a chance to meet a dolphin up close and in the water, without swimming.
Participants stand on a submerged platform, about waist deep in the water.
The dolphin swims up to the platform to greet the guests and may even offer a flipper for a handshake or high five. Children who are below the minimum height requirement may participate, but must be held in the arms of a parent or guardian. Children under 13 years of age must be accompanied in the program by a paying adult. The program lasts about 30 minutes, with about 10 minutes of actual in-water time. The price includes a one hour educational walking tour of the facility as well.
