The Indianapolis Zoo’s Dolphin In-Water Adventure is something that participants cannot experience anywhere else in the Midwest and is as close to swimming with the dolphins as you can get. This 90-minute program is designed to give participants a unique opportunity to encounter dolphins up close and become familiar with some of the training techniques used by the Indianapolis Zoo’s Marine Mammal staff. The program begins with a short class session, after which the guests don light weight wet suits and join the trainers in a specially designed pool where a small group of people have approximately a half hour to experience something truly remarkable – what it’s like to meet a dolphin face to face.

In the pool, the guest will get a sampling of the different activities the Zoo’s trainers carry out each day – feeding a dolphin, signaling the dolphin to carry out a behavior, and lots of up-close, hands-on interactions. (This is a wade-in program and no swimming is involved.) After the in-water portion of the program, participants will head back to the shower. Along with memories for a lifetime, participants will receive a souvenir towel and a photograph of themselves with a dolphin.
