Have you every wanted to swim with a dolphin, feed a dolphin or just touch a dolphin then this is the place for you.

The feeling of swimming with the Dolphins is one never to be repeated and one not to missed.

Universal is just wonderful if you like great rides, superb shows and ET ! Be sure to check out Universal Studios and Islands of adventure.
