Question

in the 1960s and early 1970s dolphinariums and oceanariums became very popular...all around the USA these sprung up, but due to the introduction of stricter laws and bigger parks such as Seaworld many had closed down by the end of the 70s-90s.

Is it possible for you guys to help me create a list of any that you remember or have heard about for my general studies about marine parks etc

(any parks u have visited in your childhood??)

Answer 2

Though cetaceans have been held in captivity in both North America and Europe since the 1860s, the first being a pair of Beluga Whales in the New York museum, dolphins were first kept for paid entertainment in the Marine Studios dolphinarium founded in 1938 in St. Augustine, Florida
