Rufus Beach

Updated April 19, 2022 Posted April 8, 2020

Rufus Beach is now in our new aviary and home to our resident great white pelicans. Ricky, who played the part of “Rufus” in Dolphin Tale, can be found here along with three other pelicans, Skylar, Matthew and Tyndall. Viewing windows for the aviary can be found across from the main pool upstairs in the Winter Zone.
