Questions About the Atlantis Resort

I have decided to book a sea lion interaction at the Atlantis resort on my day there and to avoid the "tour" and just go straight to what I want to do I am going to be taking a taxi. But I have a few questions. Looking at the maps online, the Atlantis Resort is SO big, so kind of dumb question, where is the front door? As in where does the taxi drop you off? I want to see how close it is to the marine animal interaction area as well as nearby restaurants. I can look up restaurants from the website but without knowing where I'll be, I don't know what I will be near.

Also, if anyone has been and could let me know what's "included" when you're only doing an interaction. Like can I walk around, see the sea turtles, shop or go to a restaurant or would I need a day pass to see anything? What else could I do while I'm there without a day pass? Or are the aquariums worth getting a day pass too and what's the "dig"? I keep seeing that pop up on other Atlantis threads.
