Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage
- Opened in 1990, the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is on the Las Vegas Strip, at the Mirage Hotel. It features 2.5 million gallons of water, palm trees and lush foliage surrounding the Dolphin Habitat to reproduce a oasis in the Nevada Desert. Shows available include dolphins catching fish, swimming, bonding with each other and "tail walking" across water. The kids will enjoy the way dolphins respond to questions by flapping their fins, shaking their heads or jumping in the water. Those who want to be in the middle of the action can participate in a Trainer for a Day program. This allows adults and kids to get close to the dolphins, dressed in a proper wetsuit.
