Sea World, San Diego (April, 2002)

 
What really sets Sea World apart is the interactions.  (Not to mention that for a large sum of money you can become a trainer for a day...wetsuit, handfuls of fish and all!)

This is the dolphin interaction.  You can actually buy a container with 4 fish and the dolphins swim right to you, open up, and as soon as you toss a fish in the let you pet them.  (P.S.  A dolphin feels nothing like you would expect.)  That's Mel getting a reward pet after she tossed this guy her last fish!

There is also a starfish interaction and a ray (bat ray, no stinger) interaction.  Pretty cool stuff for kids and adults!   =)
