Dolphin Parks

Delfiniti Ixtapa. At Delfiniti Ixtapa, dolphins in a huge pool interact with paying customers—giving "kisses" and "hugs" and short rides (you hang onto their fins as they paddle around on their backs)—in exchange for food treats. The price depends on the type of encounter and the age of the customer (from infant to adult). Reservations are highly recommended—you can book online—especially if you have kids under age seven, as there are limited time slots available. Blvd. Ixtapa, Zona Hotelera 1, Lote Anexo 6B, near Posada Real Hotel, Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, 40880. 755/553–2707 or 755/553–2708. www.delfiniti.com. From $57.
