   EDITOR REVIEW:

MIRACLE STRIP PARKWAY.   Instituted in 1955, this facility simultaneously educates and entertains visitors while promoting the welfare of marine life. Some venues feature performances by dolphins and sea lions; the Living Sea exhibit showcases turtles, sharks, eels and other animals, giving guests insight into their behavior and interaction. The complex also boasts penguins, otters, alligators and a touch pool where you can experience sea life firsthand. There's even an opportunity (with advance reservations) to swim with Kiwi and Daphne, two of the resident dolphins. The beachside attraction, which has indoor and outdoor displays, is open rain or shine; a gift shop sells clothing and souvenirs.
