Miami Seaquarium

Kid Tips

Toddlers & Pre-K: They'll especially adore the whale and dolphin shows. Visit Salty's Playground to re-spark their interest when their energy wanes.

School-Age Kids: In addition to the shows, be sure to catch the feeding sessions, where sharks, tropical fish and even crocodiles are fed by their trainers at scheduled times throughout the day. And of course they'll treasure a swim with dolphins.

Pre-Teens & Teens: Most enjoy the shows and animal feedings, and, of course, they'll love a dolphin swim.

Planning Notes

• Reserve the dolphin swim in advance. Expectant mothers and kids under 52 inches are barred from participating.
• Check for admission coupons. The attraction's Web site, plus numerous city guides, offer discounts.
• Go early in the day in summer. The inevitable late-afternoon shower may otherwise dampen your fun in this outdoor attraction.
• Wear hats and lots of sunscreen. Reapply the latter often, even in winter.
• Wear comfortable shoes. The shows are spread out, and you have to stand during one dolphin attraction.
