Theater of the Sea
The Theater of the Sea is like Sea World. You can see a sea lion show, a dolphin show and take a tour. There is also an 'open-bottom boat' trip. The parrots are very friendly, and some will show off for you to take pictures. (I have posted a picture that I took of a camera-loving parrot from the Theater of the Sea.) There is a small resturant at the center of the outdoor area, and during the tour you will get to see sea turtles, an alligator, a crocadile, a giant grouper, also known as a jewfish, and when I was there you got to touch/pet a baby bull shark. There is a parrot show that is quite entertaining, and the staff are all very friendly and informative if you get to talk to one outside of a show. Before you get to do the tours or see shows, there is some great shopping, for clothing, souvineers, jewelry, etc. My husband bought me a beautiful necklace on our way out. I can't recall the price of admission, but I remember thinking that it was worth it, plus the clerk that sold us out tickets had a parrot helper! I would definately make time to go to the Theater of the Sea the next time that I am in Islamorada!
