Marineland FL opened during St Augustine's heyday as
a resort playground for the rich. Opening its doors
in 1939, Marineland FL was advertised as an "Oceanarium"
where guests could watch sea animals such as whales,
dolphins and sharks live. Visitors watched through
two large tanks, one that was 400,000 gallons and
circular, and another that was 450,000 gallons and
rectangular, as amazing sea creatures swam through
the aquariums as they would the sea off the coast of
the city of St Augustine. After a few years of
success, the former Marineland FL closed its doors.
This would not be the end of Marineland FL though.
In 2006, Marineland FL reopened and the newly
renovated Marineland Dolphin Conservation Center is
a big hit with visitors to the Old City.
The 2006 renovations to Marineland FL meant that the
old aquariums would be demolished, however this did
not mean that visitors could no longer view sea
animals in their natural habitats. Today, at
Marineland FL you can watch the dolphins and other
sea life through 6 by 10 foot windows. With a
general admission ticket you can explore the
Conservation Center and watch the dolphins through
the windows, however this is not all you can do at
Marineland FL. If you purchase an additional ticket
to one of the special programs at Marineland FL you
can take part in a host of activities like feeding
the dolphins, training the dolphins, and even
swimming with live dolphins! By far, the swimming
with the dolphins experience is the most popular,
but all of the special programs are fantastic to
enjoy on your St Augustine Beach Vacation.
Swimming with Dolphins in Florida at Marineland FL
could be a fun activity that you enjoy while on a
Romantic Florida Beach Getaway, and some couples
have each chosen to marry at Marineland FL and hold
their wedding ceremony right next to the dolphins.
Of course, Marineland FL would also be a special and
spectacular place to ask that special one for their
hand in marriage if they love dolphins! Get engaged
at Marineland FL!
