Aquarium
Miami Seaquarium
4400, Rickenbacker Cswy, Miami, FL 33149, USA
Shuttered marine park where a captive orca performed for over five decades before her death.
This guide to the Miami Seaquarium follows an orca captured off Washington State in 1970 and flown to Miami as a four-year-old calf, renamed Lolita after Nabokov's novel. It traces her more than five decades performing in the tank known as the whale bowl, and the decades-long campaign by conservationists to move her back to open water in Puget Sound. Stand at the edge of that empty tank while you listen.
