The stingrays at CC have been de-stingered (if that is a word), so no danger there. We did it with our three granddaughters. Oldest eats almost everything at dinner and loves sushi. She would not come within a mile of the rays. Middle Gdaughter is a super picky eater (mac/cheese then grilled cheese sandwich, repeat). She loves turtles, frogs, lizards, insects and will hold any of the above. She raced into the water to pet/feed the rays. Youngest is somewhere in between with food, but was not so keen about getting close to the rays...certainly not willing to do the "stingray shuffle." Everyone to their own taste and you are on vacation...enjoy what gives you pleasure while the meter is running. If your friends or family are pushing you a bit to meet a ray, get the drink of the day or two before said encounter. At CCay there are a slew of other exclusions you can do.
