Hailed as 'the biggest attraction in the Caribbean', Ocean World Adventure Park is a great day out of the whole family.
Ocean World prides itself on its point of difference from other marine parks that are generally not set up to enable people to physically interact with the animals. At Ocean World Adventure Park you are encouraged through a series of experiences to have direct contact with some of the animals.
And who could resist the opportunity to swim and play with dolphins, snorkel with tropical fish and float with stingrays? You may wish to pass on the shark feeding at the 200,000-gallon (760,000-liter) shark pool, however.
There is an educational program (available in English and Spanish) for all children between the ages of 4 and 12.
Ocean World Adventure Park is on the north shore, 5km (3m) west of Puerto Plata.
