Wake Up with Dolphins: Rise and Shine Dolphin Package
There’s no better way to start your day than with dolphins! The Gulfarium’s new Rise and Shine: Dolphin Package offers guests early access to the park and an exclusive dockside encounter with one of our Atlantic bottlenose dolphins—all before the gates open to the public.
Your morning begins with a guided walking tour of the park, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the animals and exhibits before the crowds arrive. Then, you’ll head to the dolphin habitat for a memorable dockside encounter with one of our playful dolphins. After the experience, enjoy full general admission and explore the park at your own pace—it’s the ultimate way to start your Gulfarium adventure.
Sea Turtle Release Season is in Full Swing
It’s officially sea turtle release season at the Gulfarium CARE Center, and we’re off to a strong start! With four successful releases already this summer, including a mix of quick-recovery patients and long-term rehabilitations, the CARE team is working hard to return as many sea turtles as possible to their ocean home.
For those hoping to witness one of these inspiring moments, the best way to stay informed is by following the CARE Center on social media. Release events are free to attend, but due to weather and permitting, they are often announced only a few days in advance—so keep your eyes on our pages for the next one!
Sunset Camp: A Nighttime Adventure Just for Kids
Looking for a unique evening activity for your child this summer? Sunset Camp is the perfect mix of fun, education, and after-hours excitement at the Gulfarium. This special camp invites kids ages 6–14 to explore the park after it closes to the public, with exclusive animal encounters, hands-on learning, and dinner included!
Campers will enjoy dockside dolphin time, a meet-and-greet with our penguin colony, and a chance to get up close with reptiles and other animals. Add in beachside activities with our education team and a night under the stars—it’s a summer memory in the making. Space is limited, so visit gulfarium.com to secure your child’s spot!
