Sealife
The main attractions of Florida's Gulfarium are the 3 live marine shows that you can see any day of the week, rain or shine. The shows are conveniently scheduled in a series so you'll never have to worry about missing a performance.
The series begins with the famous top deck Dolphin Show, featuring our trained Bottlenose Dolphins performing in our main tank. Following this show is a kids' favorite, the Sea Lion Show. Prepare to laugh as these animals always keep our trainers on their toes. Rounding out the program of shows is our MSP Show, with Bottlenose Dolphins and a California Sea Lion performing side-by-side. Don't forget to check out our shark, penguin and otter feed demonstrations between the shows!
The Dolphin Show (10:00am, 12:00pm, 2:00pm & 4:00pm) 
The Dolphin Show gets your day started as you watch Bottlenose Dolphins perform in over 500,000 gallons of filtered Gulf of Mexico saltwater. The dolphins enjoy showing off their speed and agility in performing various acrobatic high jumps and other behaviors. We welcome our visitors to stand along the tank's railing for a close and personal look at our performing dolphins. Kids love the audience participation as they may get wet standing in the “splash zone,” while a dolphin receives a touch down pass.
Our bleacher seating area offers a shaded place to rest your feet while still enjoying the show. You can almost see eye-to-eye with the dolphins as they jump for a ball suspended 25 feet above the water's surface! Or you can get a unique underwater view of the dolphins, from the many windows located on 2 floors. You will also learn about the Bottlenose dolphins’ dietary needs, cooperative abilities, and communication skills. Our Dolphin Show gives people of all ages an up-close view of these amazing, energetic, and friendly animals.
The Sea Lion Show (10:30am, 12:30pm, 2:30pm, 4:30pm) 
This show gets everyone laughing with the playful antics of our charismatic California Sea Lions. They love to display their amazing balancing ability in addition to other behaviors like flips and spins. It's almost impossible not to smile and laugh as the sea lions clap and bark for one another like enthusiastic cheerleaders.
The MSP Show (11:00am, 1:00pm, 3:00pm, 5:00pm) 
Unique in the entire world, the MSP (Multi-Species) Show features Bottlenose Dolphins and a California Sea Lion performing together in the same show! Both species of animals demonstrate their intelligence by performing graceful leaps synchronized with split-second accuracy. Dolphins and sea lions are not natural friends in the wild, but they are not enemies either. This show features our sea lion feeding a fish to a dolphin, demonstrating the ability for these 2 different species to show signs of friendship towards one another.
Animal Feed Demonstrations
After each Sea Lion and MSP Shows you are welcome to join one of the trainers for a feed demonstration. You'll learn more about our penguins and otters as they are fed by the trainer.
