Work with CMA Specialists

We warn you now—you may get a little wet! This unique dolphin program includes the opportunity to work side by side with a CMA animal care specialist while they care for one of our resident Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.

Guests will spend time poolside with animal care staff learning about the anatomy, intelligence and beauty of these amazing animals.
