Dolphin Nursery

Watch mother dolphins and their calves at the Dolphin Nursery.

Nothing draws a crowd quite like a newborn—especially when the baby is a bottlenose dolphin. The Dolphin Nursery is a great place to introduce kids to the beauty of life in the animal world from its very first chapters. Watch as dolphin calves practice jumping, playing, and communicating with their moms and other newborns through clicks and vocalizations.
