Marineland Dolphin Adventure runs our programs rain or shine.  We will only postpone our programs if we have a lightning strike within 5 miles of our facility.  If that happens, all guests are escorted to the nearest indoor location, and programs will resume as soon as the lightning passes.

If Marineland cannot complete the program by the end of the day due to lightning staying in the area, we will work with each group individually to offer the best solution for them.  We can reschedule, offer credit to rebook within 1 year, or if the program is canceled by Marineland Dolphin Adventure they may receive a full or partial refund based on what was completed. Please note that the ticketing fee cannot be refunded due to weather.

Guests must bring their own swimsuits and towels. We are an outdoor facility, so we also recommend water sunscreen, especially on hot days. Reef Safe sunscreen may be purchased in our gift shop. Changing facilities are available.

ALL jewelry must be removed prior to your encounter, including body jewelry. No surgical or permanent jewelry is allowed in the water.

All programs start at the Gift Shop with check-in. Please arrive 60 minutes prior to your program start time. (Trainer For a Day and Dolphin Designs program participants should arrive by 8:45AM)

Guests may buy out a time slot by making special arrangements ahead of time. Please contact us at 407-563-4701, ext. 116, if you are interested in buying out an encounter slot.
