I don’t normally give low rating reviews however after watching the show I really question the ethics of this. Dolphins undergoing prolonged stress usually have floppy fins (which these dolphins did have). There was various markings on the side of the dolphins, which when looking up close looked like scratches. Also asking a dolphin to carry a full grown man on its nose whilst swimming is un-natural and I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t cause damage over a prolonged period of time. The Russian instructors did not seem to care about the dolphins at all but rather just cared about the entertainment. The tricks by the seals and dolphins were impressive, however were done to obtain food as a reward (which the animals appeared desperate for the food). I think it would be good to see behind the scenes and I do wish I didn’t pay and encourage it. Also asking a dolphin and seal to spin 360’s on land continuously cannot be good for any of their health. I think it’s best to have a show where you can watch the dolphins do natural things or not one at all. I gave it 1 star as I do recognise the hard work by the DJ/lights tech people. However after seeing the dolphins up close who appear sad and not healthy looking, I wont recommend it. please note that the other bad reviews have also highlighted the visible abuse you can see on the animals when you swim with them or...

The first time I watched the show, I was immediately drawn to the professional organization and the entertainment show. The performances of the dolphins and seals were incredibly impressive, with the crowd cheering and applauding each other. The synchronized flips, spins, and dives were also very impressive, and the crowd seemed to be having a blast.
One of the highlights of the show was the opportunity to see the dolphins in an up-close and personal setting, where they performed balancing acts, danced to some groovy music, and jumped through hoops. The trainers were also impressive, and they did a bunch of tricks with the dolphins.

Read moreI would be careful taking your kids if blood bothers them. Early on in the show, a dolphin jumped up on the platform and the other dolphins started attacking it. I learned from the workers that this is something that happens during mating season. What I didn’t appreciate is that nobody did anything after it happened and the dolphin just sat there and bled in front of the kids for 15 minutes. It got to the point that my 5-year old asked to leave because it bothered him so much. I know this is something that’s tricky to control when animals fight one another, but I just didn’t appreciate how it was handled.
I did reach out to them and they explained the situation:
During the mating season, males can show aggression, people cannot interfere with this. At any other time, these animals are friendly, since they grew up together and have known each other since childhood.
Dolphins are in good hands, if they need help they always get it. If we put it back in pool theirs fighting would be continuous . you should understand that that's is all nature instincts they are same like human with the same emotions and feelings and we know that and try our best to give them our care. All scratches he got, was not deep and treated with sanitizer , don't worry about that. You can come back any day and see him well and...
