Swim with the Dolphins: The park has been running abbreviated hours and limiting the number of attendees each day, but Miami Seaquarium is open—good news for parents who’d like to share a memorable experience with their children this summer.

The park also boasts programs with seals and penguins, as well as the 20-minute Sea Trek Reef Encounter, where guests don a state-of-the-art dive helmet and swim with tropical fish, sting rays and other sea creatures.
