Interactive Program Goes Behind the Scenes with Mammal Trainers.
  
Learn what it really takes to be a trainer at Atlantis Marine World! The Aquarium’s Trainer for a Day program invites children over 10 years of age to don their rubber boots and shadow its Marine Mammal Staff on a Saturday from April through September to see what it’s really like to care for marine mammals.
   
During the nearly two-hour session, “Trainers for a Day” assist the Marine Mammal Staff with their daily routines including food preparation and participation in a harbor seal training session. They are also provided reserved seating at our Sea Lion Show, with this behind-the-scenes opportunity concluded with the once-in-a-lifetime experience of getting a kiss from a seal.
   
Participants also receive a free Atlantis Marine World t-shirt, certificate of completion, commemorative seal kiss photo, and Aquarium Admission for that day.
