Swimming with Dolphins in Florida

If you are searching for swimming with dolphins in florida, you will find lots to choose from. There are several specific therapy sites, plus encounters and dolphin swim programs. Most are along the coastline and some in the Florida Keys. This is a main reason for many people traveling to Florida because of the great array of choices.

Have you heard of "Flipper?" This was a TV show that was on during the 60's, including a movie, or you could have seen reruns. This famous dolphin "Mitzy" used to live at the Dolphin Research Center, when she passed away in 1972. You can visit her last home and see the monument which pays tribute to her.

The larger dolphin centers in Florida include of course SeaWorld, Miami Seaquarium, Discovery Cove, Dolphin Research Center, Dolphins Plus and Theater of the Sea. So you've got lots to choose from! Also Florida has many therapy sites for special needs children. Dolphins Plus houses Island Dolphin Care, the JF Dolphin Project at the Gulfarium, and I have heard of others, which I will continue to research and update here.

If you travel to Florida watch the weather, whenever I've gone there, one of the days I've always seen lighting or a wind storm. As quick as it arrives, it leaves just as quick too. So it shouldn't put a hamper on your travel plans, but you might check the weather channel just in case!
