“Discover Marineland Dolphin Adventure: The World’s First Oceanarium”

Marineland, originally known as “Marine Studios” since its inception in 1938, has evolved into a remarkable dolphin conservation center. At Marineland Dolphin Adventure, we offer a multitude of opportunities for you to get up close and personal with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, as well as gain insights into the fascinating world of sharks, fish, and sea turtles. Our carefully curated exhibits and immersive experiences are designed to inspire a deep connection with the natural wonders of the sea.

Situated just south of St. Augustine along the picturesque A1A route in St. Johns County, Marineland provides general admission access to several captivating attractions. Explore the Sea to Shore Aquarium, where you’ll encounter both native and tropical fish species. At Ambassador Park, meet sharks, tortoises, and sea turtles. Whitney Park offers enchanting dolphin views from both above and below the water’s surface.

Throughout the day, our expert trainers conduct educational programs about the diverse marine life found from sea to shore, including sharks, dolphins, turtles, and their respective habitats.

Marineland offers a variety of interactive dolphin programs suitable for guests of all ages, both in and out of the water. These programs not only provide a unique opportunity to connect with these incredible creatures but also offer a glimpse into the world of world-class animal training, welfare, and husbandry. Marineland holds accreditation from the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and American Humane’s Conservation program.
