[scubamouse]

does anyone know what the times are where you can feed the rays/dolphins/seals? last time we went was memorial day 2003 and it was packed! we just got to feed the seals. we're trying to plan around being able to feed the animals

any links to the times or recent experience? my kids really want to feed 'mr ray'

TIA

Check out my report here where the trainers were out at 10am.
They were making the dolphins do tricks.

In the past, I would always show up at 3pm, and they would come out with a bucket of food. That's a good time to visit, get a beer from the snack stand next to the ray tank, and relax while the kids feed the dolphins.
For the sting rays, you want to feed them early in the morning, because once they are full, they don't eat anymore.

We were at SW on 11/3. Feeding the rays was open when we got there at 9am & it appeared that you could feed them anytime. It wasn't very crowded. The dolphins had feeding times around 10 & I believe 1pm. We never made it to the sealions so can't help you with that. Lots of fun for the kids.
