Marineland Dolphin Adventure
Marineland
The world's first oceanarium, opened in 1938 and now focused on close encounters with dolphins, located on the coast about 30 km south of the old town.
Originally called Marine Studios, Marineland was a filming location for many ocean documentaries and films and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it mainly offers dolphin interactions, feeding, and swim experiences, which require advance reservations and are quite expensive. It can be combined with Fort Matanzas and Washington Oaks Gardens for a day trip along the southern section of the A1A coastal highway.
