A few years ago a wave of hurricanes nearly flattened the 1930's water attraction and it closed down for a couple of years. I was pretty saddened that one of the things I remembered best as a child was gone. But then it reopened and advertised it was rebuilding its former self, although much smaller. Gone were the birds, otters show, whales and other sealife. Instead it had turned into something of a Dolphin experience and research center. No matter. At $8 a person it would be a steal.

We left Orlando as early as the two kids would allow and were on the road before 11am Friday. By lunch time we arrived and I was surprised at how much had changed. It was evident they had simplified the attraction, but it was clean and modern looking. After speaking with one of the workers he talked about the place's history and what they're future plans were. Enough chatter! I wanted to see the big aquarium with the dolphins!
