This non-profit aquarium is a must-see for animal enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in conservation work. It is home to a number of delightful rescue animals, who cannot be released back into the wild. Not only will you get to see these incredible creatures up close, you can learn all about the important work the aquarium does during your visit.

Best known for their dolphins, you'll also get to meet an array of other marine animals, including sea turtles, otters, pelicans, sharks and much more!

You'll get to see the conservation and rehabilitation work as you explore the aquarium, and you'll leave with a greater appreciation for these creatures, as well as an understanding of the work that needs to be done to protect our waters.
