Bring your family to meet our family of dolphins and sea lions. Spend an hour or stay all day learning about these incredible marine mammals. Dolphin Research Center, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit research and educational facility, is funded by people who visit the facility to see the dolphins and sea lions, swim with dolphins, or take part in another program, as well as by those who join the DRC family when they adopt a dolphin or enroll in one of our other membership plans.

Dolphin Research Center offers several exciting presentations daily demonstrating the dolphins’ high flying athletics, dolphin education fun facts, dolphin research, new behavior training, medical behaviors, and much more. Enjoy dolphin swims and other encounters, as well as other fun chances to touch a dolphin. We also provide assistance to guests with disabilities. Don’t miss Dolphin Research Center during your Florida Keys vacation.
