Dolphin Kids

At Dolphins Plus Bayside Facility in the Florida Keys

Dolphins Plus makes learning fun as campers dive right in with hands-on science activities. Campers will experience a variety of topics ranging from local Florida Keys ecosystems, to how dolphins communicate and what their behaviour means.

Some activities your child will enjoy include marine mammal lessons, shows, behind-the-scenes tours and coastal exploration. For the youngsters who have always wondered whether a dolphin or squid is smarter, they’ll find answers to common marine life questions and get close to incredible marine mammals.
