Attention Flagler, Volusia and St. John’s County Moms! We’ve found the perfect activity for those toddler and pre-school aged kiddos—and it checks off all three boxes: fun, educational, and affordable. Marineland Dolphin Adventure’s Sea Squirts Program is one of our top things to do with little kids in Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches.

Sea Squirts is a weekly program that gives kids ages 3 to 5 years-old a “unique Marineland Dolphin Adventure experience that focuses on conservation. Each program is centered on a specific conservation topic and includes a fun activity.
Sea Squirts sessions might include:

  • a short read-aloud of a children’s book
  • a fun craft, like making a paper octopus or sand slime
  • an opportunity for animal observation
  • The atmosphere is laid-back and fun, with friendly program leaders who are skilled at keeping the tiniest tots engaged. Parents must stay for the entire hour-long program. Spots are limited and advanced registration is required.
