Introduction
The original Flipper movie popularized the notion of dolphins interacting with humans. The film's creator, Milton Santini, also created this facility, the Dolphin Research Center, now home to a colony of dolphins and sea lions. The not-for-profit organization has narrated programs every 45 minutes, and several programs that allow interaction with dolphins in the water (Dolphin Encounter) or from a submerged platform (Dolphin Splash). The center recently added special needs programs designed for amputees and those suffering from mental and emotional conditions such as autism. Some programs have age or height restrictions, and some require 30-day advance reservations.
