Islamorada - Theater of the Sea

Located within a 17-acre tropical forest, the Theater of the Sea contains a series of salt-water pools housing a variety of marine animals. There are dolphins, sea lions, sharks, sea turtles, rays and a variety of tropical fish, some of which perform in ongoing shows. The facility offers educational and recreational programs whereby visitors can swim among with dolphins, sea lions or rays. There's also the chance to shadow the staff in the "Trainer for a Day" activity. The Theater of the Sea first opened its doors to the public in 1946.
