I will be coming into Key Largo July 14-20 with my daughter and granddaughter. My granddaughter will be a freshman at Penn State University as a biology major and has an interest in marine biology. I thnk visiting your center would be valuable to her as well as to me and her mom. Do I need to make reservations and how can I find out more specifics about the Dolphin Care? Thank you, Natalie Smith

Hello I'm intrested in finding out the cost per person. I'm inquiring for my niece (her son has FOP/his muscles turning to bone) and for my husband who suffers from PTSD (Vietnam Veteran) and 100% disabled. I Heard of this center from the movie "The Girl Whose Muscles are Turning to Bone" (Luciana). This is the same condition my great nephew has. Thank you, Susana Depuy
