Clearwater Marine Aquarium Announces Dolphintopia on National Dolphin Day

Press Releases Announcements Updated April 16, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022

The summer celebration will include art installations, immersive activities, and more

CLEARWATER, Fla. – On National Dolphin Day, Clearwater Marine Aquarium announced a brand-new immersive celebration called Dolphintopia. This June, CMA will transport guests to a summer of peace, love and dolphins. Families are invited to celebrate the facts, fiction and fun of these enchanting marine mammals. Guests will explore the fascinating science of dolphins and their intimate connection with humans throughout history.

Dolphintopia will include unique dolphin art installations and activities, interactive shows exploring the intangible connection between humans and dolphins, and vibrant Instagrammable photo opportunities. The elements of this saltwater celebration will change throughout the summer offering annual members different experiences.

In addition to the celebration, guests can visit the aquarium’s resident dolphins in their habitats. CMA is currently home to five bottlenose dolphins, PJ, Apollo, Nicholas, Hemingway, and Hope – one of the stars of Dolphin Tale 2. Two rough-toothed dolphins also reside at CMA named Rex and Rudy. Guests who want an even closer look at these dolphins can purchase a VIP Dolphin Experience or Photo Moment Experience. Visitors can also explore Clearwater Bay and learn about the local dolphin population on The Dolphin and Wildlife Tour.

The celebration will be included with admission. VIP experiences and tours may be purchased online. For more information please visit cmaquarium.org.
