St. Augustine

Marineland Florida was one of the first St Augustine Attractions to open and has remained one of the best places to visit in the city if you love animals, especially dolphins! After opening in 1939, Marineland Florida was billed as an “Oceanarium”; a place where tourists could go watch live ocean animals swim and frolic in the sea. Today it is much the same as it was in the early days, only today Marineland Florida has been completely renovated and its former circular 400,000 gallon aquarium and rectangular 450,000 gallon aquarium were demolished. In its early days Marineland Florida fascinated tourists with dolphin shows and plenty to see through the Oceanarium, however it generates even more excitement as they offer a “swim with the dolphins” experience and multiple other special educational programs.

Featuring a 1.3 million gallon state of the art series of dolphin habitats, the Marineland Dolphin Conservation Center invites guests to get up close and personal with dolphins and experience all that these amazing creatures have to offer.
