“Great Sea Show”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Went for half a day and saw a variety of its shows -- the dolphins, flipper (dolphins), sea lions and killer whales. Very entertaining and fun for the family. There's a specific schedule to follow in order to see all the shows and luckily we went with others who knew exactly when and where to go. The only improvement could be to the sound system. It was very difficult to hear/understand the presenters during the show. Otherwise a great time.

If you do not want to get wet during the shows, do not sit in the first few (5 or so) rows.

“Creating Memories”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

My wife and i take our grandchildren indiviually on trips to create memories for them that will last the rest of their lives. The reason for visiting the Seaquarium was for my Granddaughter and I to swim with the dolphins. We had a blast!!! The staff was awesome and treated us like friends. I would recommend this to anyone who loves animals. The granddaughter will never forget the experience.

“Misleading advertising”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

In the images shown on billboards and catalogs about Dolphins Encounter show people swimming with dolphins, which is false because it never happens. You settle for staying at the edge of the pool and just touching the dolphins. Are better places in other countries where you can actually interact with dolphins.

Dear Guest,

We are sorry to hear that you found our ads misleading. Our Animals encounter, the Dolphin Odyssey does allow participants to swim with the dolphins. I am not sure why your interaction was different and I apologize. We do hope to see you again.

Sincerely,
