I would suggest showing the 5 year old what Stingray city is like. You should be able to get some video from Captain Marvin's web site. If your 5 year old saw our video I believe she would want to go. (The crew put them over our heads, had us hold them for minutes at a time, and feeding them was fun) The water is only 36 to 40 inches deep and if you book with captain Marvin, I'm sure that one of the crew will work with your daughter in the water so you don't have to hold her the whole time. But, preparing her is key. She needs to understand that they can't bite and are very docile.
