Dolphins

Does anyone know if feeding the Dolphins at Sea World is included in the admission price? I know you can do a separate visit for $35 but is there anyway of getting close to the dolphins without having to do this? I have emailed Sea World but their reply was a bit unclear. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Seeing the dolphins: free

dolphin show: free

FEEDING the dolphins: ~$3-$4 a tray. Worth it though. They come right up to you and it is a great way to pet them or get a photo. Just beware of aggressive seagulls and fishy-smelling fingers!

(there is a sink to wash up afterwards)

SWIMMING with the dolphins: a special program separate from admission. something like $189

The $35 option is pricey but a fabulous experience- you can ';pet'; the dolphins, feed them, the sea world staff show you hand signals to instruct the dolphins to jump. The dolphins seem to enjoy hanging out with visitors and didn%26#39;t mind having their heads %26amp; necks rubbed. at the time (last year) military families were admitted to sea world for free, with proper id, so that helps with the budget, if applicable. have a great trip!

Thanks for all the tips!
