The aquarium offers a variety of "dolphin contact" activities like the one I witnessed at the outdoor pool. Five rubber-suited visitors waded hip-deep into the water to touch, rub and coo over a handful of trained dolphins, including one that resembled a small whale. The idea of touching animals with big teeth freaks me out, so I retreated to the relative calm...
...token purchase of his own. One Christmas he surprised Ginny with an electric pencil sharpener. "They were always so clearly the wrong thing, but it was just so funny that he'd taken the time and thought to buy them," says Hilary, who one year received a stuffed dolphin with tie-dyed fur.

It is not natural for a dolphin to swim in circles in a man-made tank, exposed to loud music; shallow, chemically treated water; and humans.
