Hello all, I am hoping Gregg you read this and can respond to me. I am presently in the POP and am planning to visit Ocean world with my family. My brother in law is a photographer and is anticipating to visit Ocean World in order to take pictures of the birds, animals, etc. Do you think it is worth his while, or would there be just too many people around (therefore not able to have pictures with animals alone) and are the birds, etc. caged in? Would appreciate if anyone can give me some adive. For ourselves, we are planning to go anyway and do the 'dolphin encounter' with our kids. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed. Thanks for your time!

I was there two weeks ago and there were only three of us and the trainer in the cages with the birds. Most of the animals (sharks, dolphins, tigers, sea lions, etc.) are separated from the people unless you are on an encounter or a swim but there are some opportunities if the animals get close to the glass.

Personally I think just seeing the animals is great - photos would be a bonus IMHO.
