Dolphins
are found throughout Panama City Beach waters,
but there's only one way to legally have contact
with them. That's by visiting Gulf World Marine
Park and signing up for one of their Dolphin Encounter
or Trainer-for-a-Day programs.
Gulf
World Marine Park, 15412 Front Beach Road, has
been entertaining visitors to Panama City Beach
since 1969, and over the years the park has grown
in size, shows, and exhibits. A recently completed
expansion and remodeling only adds to the attraction
of one the area's oldest and best known entertainment
complexes.
The
park is a destination in itself, the kind of place
you can spend an entire day exploring. There are
displays of exotic sea life from the Gulf of Mexico
and wildlife from all over the globe, a one-of-a-kind "SplashMagic" laser light show, and
even an Elvis tribute performance by Todd Herendeen
and the Follow That Dream Band!
Interspersed
throughout the rambling park are theaters, tropical
gardens, hands-on animal exhibits, and an underwater
scuba show. The theaters - one for sea lions,
one for the underwater show, another for the parrot
show, and the state-of-the-art dolphin habitat
- all offer excellent vantage points to see the
performances.
