I looked into Miami seaquarium but it seems like you don’t really swim with them. More like you wade and they come up to you. Has anyone does this that can give me more info?

I did that in the Bahamas, personally that was close enough for me LOL

But I saw other people actually swimming with dolphins there which is probably also cool if you’re into that!

There are some YouTube videos from people who’ve done it. That might help you.

I think this is the place we used- we swam with them, touched them. Held on while they pulled us. The works.

Ok. So that sounds amazing!!!!!!

A lot more expensive but it might be worth it because I don’t think the experiences can be compared.

We had a Groupon at the time. Worth checking.
(We did a bunch of things off Groupon and loving social on that trip that we’re amazing, water sports. Adventure stuff)

Dolphins are non kosher animals. Why would you want to get close to them? Do you take your kids to see the pigs at the petting zoo?

Is this a joke?

I would love to swim with dolphins and yes, I do take my kids to see pigs at the petting zoo. I suppose we are not good enough to eat by now? And our kids’ Shidduchim chances are over. Oh well. 🐬🐬

I went to the one at miami seaquarium and the discovery cove in Orlando. You cannot compare the two.
Discovery cove was a huge pool, beautiful setting and very enjoyable with professional staff.
The miami pool was tiny, ugly setting very unpleasant staff - would not recommend.

I think only chabad stays away from non kosher animals. But we're happy for our kids to see lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, pigs and all of the rest of God's creations. We let them see Kermit the frog and Miss Piggie and they have plenty of stuffed teddy bears.
