The Dolphin Company to Manage the Miami Seaquarium

The Dolphin Company, the largest park operator in Latin America and the number one Swimming with the Dolphins company in the world, today announced it reached an agreement with Palace Entertainment to assume operation of Miami Seaquarium. This agreement is still subject to certain customary closing conditions related to licensing and lease assignment. In the meantime, the Seaquarium will continue to be operated by Palace Entertainment.

Miami Seaquarium opened its doors for the first time in 1955 in Florida’s beautiful Key Biscayne, becoming the world’s largest marine attraction at the time. Miami Seaquarium grew to become a center for wildlife conservation, committed to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of distressed marine animals. The park also offers educational programs on environmental protection and marine science, making learning fun for millions of visitors over its history. This agreement will ensure Miami Seaquarium will continue to provide world-class care for each and every one of the animals it houses and remain a premier destination in South Florida.

Founded in 1994, The Dolphin Company offers unique experiences in the world with marine mammals, educating millions of people every year about the importance of these species and the care of the environment. With more than 30 parks and habitats in 8 countries and 3 continents, including the United States, Italy, Mexico and Argentina, The Dolphin Company operates under different brands, including Dolphin Discovery, Dolphin Cove, Zoomarine and Marineland.

The Dolphin Company and Palace Entertainment expect to close this transaction before the end of the year and transition the operation of Miami Seaquarium. Together with GulfWorld in Panama City Beach, Marineland in St. Augustine and Dolphin Connection in Duck Key, Miami Seaquarium will become the fourth operation of The Dolphin Company in Florida.
