We got to watch two presentations with the keepers. Afterwards, they were doing a medical check on a particular dolphin that was having stomach upset. A nice man came along and told us "a keeper smarter than we will be along soon, but I can answer your questions for now. Oh, there's someone smarter than me now!" And he gestured to one of the summer interns. They both laughed. He told us all about each dolphin and their story. He told us about the hurricanes 10 years ago, and how the water rose far above the dolphin enclosures, offering them freedom, but none of them left. It was clear he really loved these animals. He walked away to assist the team working with the dolphin. The intern turns to us and says "that's the founder of this place. He's here every single day. He's the smartest of all of us!" She was great too. She said she's been dreaming of being a dolphin trainer since she was a kid. She was from Texas, but you could tell she was exactly where she was meant to be. I hope they hire her permanently. We loved the dolphin research center and will definitely be back someday!

For my 500th review on Yelp, I'm covering the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys. This is…read moreactually my second visit as my wife and I came in 2021. This time, however, we brought our kids along too. In 2021, my wife did an encounter that included shaking hands/flippers with a dolphin, rubbing their back as they swam by, and performing a couple basic training signs. For this trip, we each did the Memory Maker Meet encounter, which included the shaking hands/flippers and back rub, but most importantly, having a dolphin paint us a picture. We each chose two colors and held a canvas out while a pair of dolphins (Reese and Louie on that day) took turns spinning around with paint brushes in their mouths painting the canvases. It was very much worth the time and extra cost. Throughout the day there are opportunities included even with basic admission to watch training sessions or learn about caring for dolphins. You can very easily have a fun day and support a great cause at the same time.

I was looking to buy a ring I thought I lost and I was so heartbroken. I found one on the…read morewebsite for Blue Marlin along with matching earrings. I was so excited. I have the necklace and wasn't aware of the earrings. And the artist Denny Wong isn't easy to find in a lot of jewelry stores. My friend from Hawaii got me into him and told me he's the Cartier of Hawaii. I'm a big fan of Steven Douglas as well. They both do a fine jewelry with sea life collections as well as other beautiful creations. Anyway I called and spoke to Aimee to be sure they had the ring and earrings. I explained I couldn't find my ring and was interested in replacing it and getting the earrings. She had them to me in 2 days. But I was preparing to get an appraisal done and found my ring. So I called her and checked to see if I could please return just the ring. She was happy I found it and was so great about the return. I told her I collect sea life jewelry - and mainly starfish. My mother had a beautiful starfish necklace she wore and I guess it was lost or stolen I had always planned on inheriting that starfish someday and was so sad when my brother told me it was gone. So I started collecting starfish and a few other sea life fine jewelry. When I told Aimee about this and I was talking about rose gold and how I have a few pieces but I hadn't found a starfish in rose gold yet - she said I have an idea. I'm going to text you a picture of one we have. Maybe we can workout and exchange since I was sending the ring back that morning. The starfish is so beautiful- I got it in just 1 day and it is so much prettier then the picture. I have an Elsa Peretti from Tiffany in yellow gold with diamonds - this rose gold starfish is even prettier and more sparkly. They're both about the same size. I definitely suggest looking at the website or if you live near there or plan on visiting Florida - take a trip over there. Or just call Aimee. It's so great when you can connect with someone who understands what you might really like. She could have just accepted the return But instead she tried and successfully found something I love. It did cost more but it's worth it I know I'll treasure this starfish! Thank you Aimee

The facilities are top of the line and very updated. The building is a Cat 5 building finished one month before Irma. It withstood that storm and still stands today as the giant grey concrete building oceanside off Overseas Hwy. There are coral raceways in the back where they care for, grow, and microfrag corals for eventual restoration back onto the reef. Upstairs they have state of the art tanks and aquaria systems that house visiting researchers and their subjects. They also have a host of public programs, including tours, lionfish programs, coral disease workshops, and much more. They are beginning up their dive program. Keep a pulse on them for the latest in coral research and restoration.
