Positive experience: Enjoyed this show so much more than the Orca show.
Fantastic experience: It's a great Park, the Orca & Dolphin show are 1st rate! My Kids & GKuds went on the Kraken and another roller coaster & they loved it! The shark underwater Grill restaurant was very good!
Fantastic experience: I took the wife here for Mother’s Day. It was a beautiful day not crowded. Got on the roller coasters within 10 minutes. We also have the dinner card which we used quite a bit. It pays for itself. Great service great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Well trained staff and dolphins. We enjoyed the show.
Fantastic experience: Wow.. 2025 Summer show is Amazing. Better than the 2019 show “the Twins Show”
Fantastic experience: This was fabulous, my wife and i really enjoyed the show. The dolphins were extremely clever
Positive experience: These babies are so adorable and its amazing how high they get their bodies out if the water.
Fantastic experience: Amazing and fun for the entire family! The dolphins and trainers have such a bond. We have been twice and it is always a highlight of the day!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic performance and the dolphins are so majestic! I couldn't believe how high they jump! My 16M old was also very entertained!
Fantastic experience: I am an absolute lover of dolphins, hoping one day to swim with them. I have been to many shows but this one was epic!
Fantastic experience: This show was super cool! I loved seeing what dolphins are capable of, they are so agile and smart!
Negative experience: In a modern world dolphins should live in a ocean, they should not entertain people
Fantastic experience: IF YOU CAN GET A SEAT this is our favorite show at SeaWorld. ARRIVE EARLY or miss out.
Fantastic experience: Great family show to experience.
Fantastic experience: The show is extremely fun to watch and is educational for all ages.
Fantastic experience: 4th time watching this show but first time that i was left speachless. Manless shows are much more astonishing. Such smartness. DO NOT MISS IT
Fantastic experience: Watching the dolphins perform, do many of thier "tricks" they do in nature but in a coordinated way Is a fun way to develop empathy for the plight of the oceans and the creatures especially mammals who depend on that environment.
Fantastic experience: Great show! You can choose to sit in splash zone if you want to get wet. The show is the perfect length of time, not too long of a show and not too short.
Fantastic experience: I love this place; the animals are healthy, and the facilities are well maintained.
Fantastic experience: So wonderful I teared up by the end of the show. The sea puppies appear to be happy and want to play
Fantastic experience: Sit on the front and get wet!
Fantastic experience: My 5 year old LOVES this show!!
Fantastic experience: This is your sign to go! This show was incredible!
Fantastic experience: Love these animals. The agility and power of dolphins has to be seen in person
Fantastic experience: The dolphins are the stars. These animals are living their best life. Don't believe me? Come check it out. Watch the show and then spend the time to watch them from above, at ground level and from below the surface. When the dolphins are not putting on a show they are still playful and happy in their tank/exhibit. As a person that has seen many wild dolphins these captive dolphins show the same behavior and excitement to perform and engage with humans.
Fantastic experience: Good show. Dolphins do some tricks, then splash the first few rows.
Negative experience: Looks more thrilling on the commercials. My kids are 4 and 8, they were ready to go. But my kids are very active also, rock climbing would have been a better choice.
Fantastic experience: Not a bad seat in the house!
Fantastic experience: One of the best Theme Parks in USA! SeaWorld is very unique. Very recommended to visit. Attending the shows is nice. Plenty of restaurants, gift shops & bathrooms. Very clean park. Book tickets online
Fantastic experience: One of the best shows at Sea World (and Orlando ) huge acrobatics by the dolphins. . Entertaining and informative too . 10 out of 10!
Fantastic experience: This was actually really fun. The dolphins were treated well. They did tricks at their leisure. If they did not feel like it, they came back for treats and then went and did the show. It was very refreshing to see the trainers and the dolphins interact this way.
Fantastic experience: The Dolphin Theatre at SeaWorld Orlando offers a truly exceptional experience. The dolphin show is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the remarkable intelligence and agility of these magnificent creatures as they perform impressive stunts.

The theatre is thoughtfully designed, with excellent sightlines from virtually every seat, ensuring an enjoyable view of the action.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful time at the Dolphins theater; the dolphins were adorable, and I enjoyed the show very much.
Fantastic experience: The dolphin show at SeaWorld is an exciting and captivating experience that showcases the incredible intelligence and agility of these magnificent creatures. From the moment the show begins, the atmosphere is electric with anticipation. The dolphins perform a variety of synchronized tricks, including flips, jumps, and even playful interactions with their trainers. The show not only highlights their athleticism but also emphasizes the strong bond between the dolphins and their handlers, making it both entertaining and heartwarming. The production value is high, with vibrant music, stunning visuals, and a well-designed stage that complements the dolphins' performance. The trainers provide insightful commentary, offering interesting facts about the species, their natural behavior, and conservation efforts, which adds an educational element to the experience. One of the standout moments is the awe-inspiring leaps and acrobatics that the dolphins perform, often in perfect synchronization. The show also allows for moments of humor, as the dolphins interact with the audience and their trainers in playful ways, leaving the crowd smiling and laughing. Overall, the dolphin show at SeaWorld is a must-see, blending entertainment, education, and a deep appreciation for marine life. Whether you’re a fan of animals or just looking for a fun, family-friendly activity, it’s an experience you won't soon forget.
Fantastic experience: Such a fun experience for the whole family. We say 4th row and didn't get wet, so don't stress about getting wet.
Negative experience: Crew did not mark the seats as reserved seats. Right when The show started, they ask people to give up the seats saying it was reserved. We went there 30 mins early and they do have many open seats. If they told us ahead of time we could have moved to a better seat instead of going all the way to back. Crew has no respect for customer's time and offered no compromise for their mistake.
Fantastic experience: I think it is the best show in Sea World, so good we attended twice.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, this is the perfect time of the year to visit. Not overcrowded, not waiting. Very organized friendly and professional staff.
Fantastic experience: Like the orca encounter, it's a great experience to see and witness! Marvelous creatures to show to the world and bring awareness!
Fantastic experience: The kids loved it and the staff were very friendly
Fantastic experience: Very cool show. The work they do with the dolphins is impressive and they get such an amazing amount of air. Watch out for the splash zone though hahaha.
Fantastic experience: I heard a lot about it, but I must say that the team really took care of the dolphins. The show took just 15 minutes and I believe this was more than okay for the dolphins to show the people their enthusiasm and joy for fun!
Fantastic experience: I recently attended the Dolphin Show at SeaWorld, and I was thoroughly entertained by the intelligence, agility, and playfulness of these amazing creatures. The show featured a group of talented dolphins performing a variety of impressive routines, including jumps, flips, and synchronized swimming. What impressed me most was the clear communication and trust between the dolphins and their trainers. The trainers gave commands and cues, and the dolphins responded with precision and enthusiasm. It was clear that the dolphins were enjoying themselves, and their joy was infectious. The show also highlighted the dolphins' remarkable abilities, such as their ability to jump high out of the water and perform complex tricks. The trainers also shared interesting facts and information about dolphin behavior, habitat, and conservation, which added an educational element to the show. One of the highlights of the show was when the dolphins started doing "tricks" with their noses, such as splashing water and making funny faces. It was amazing to see how flexible and expressive their noses are! Overall, I would highly recommend the Dolphin Show at SeaWorld to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience. It's a great way to learn about these incredible animals while being entertained by their intelligence and charm.
Fantastic experience: Our family had an unforgettable experience at SeaWorld Park in Orlando, where we were treated to an incredible dolphin show that left us in awe. The dolphins gracefully leaped through the air, showcasing their intelligence and agility in a mesmerizing performance that had the entire audience captivated. The show was so popular that the theater was packed to capacity for each performance throughout the day. It was amazing to see the bond between the trainers and the dolphins as they performed incredible tricks and stunts together. The energy and enthusiasm of the dolphins were infectious, and we couldn't help but smile and cheer along with the rest of the audience. The dolphins weren't the only stars of the show – we were also treated to performances by sea lions and other marine animals, adding to the excitement and variety of the experience. It was a truly magical day that we will always cherish and remember. If you're planning a family trip to Orlando, be sure to catch a dolphin show at SeaWorld Park. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you feeling inspired and amazed by the beauty of these magnificent creatures.
Fantastic experience: I loved watching these beautiful dolphins. The show was well done and they try to bring awareness to the people about how to better treat the earth to save these and many other creatures. I throughly enjoyed this show and look forward to seeing it again someday.
Fantastic experience: We all loved the dolphins The show was great!! It just shows us how smart dolphins are and what they can do. The trainers did great as well.
Fantastic experience: A visit to the park is highly recommended, and for the best experience, it's advisable to purchase tickets in advance. However, tickets are also available at the entrance. To make the most of your day, consider bringing a bag with snacks, water, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. While these items can be purchased inside the park, they tend to be more expensive, The orca, dolphin, and sea lion shows are spectacular.
Fantastic experience: My friend had never seen the dolphin show. She loved it, and I always love it. From San Diego in the beginning until now!!
Positive experience: At first, I was so excited, looking forward to seeing the dolphins and imagining how amazing their performance would be. I even pictured myself sharing the experience online, getting attention and praise from friends and family. But as soon as the dolphins appeared, tears welled up in my eyes. These magnificent creatures twirled and leaped before me, truly awe-inspiring, but the thought of them being confined, repeatedly trained, just broke my heart. They were adorable, yet so pitiful. My emotions went from initial excitement and self-admiration to reminiscing about their cute intelligence, then gradually to marveling at their cleverness and interaction with us, and finally sinking into profound sadness and sorrow. They were so clever, so adorable, with such high intelligence, yet only two were confined in a pool, with no other marine life around, nothing else. I swear I'll never come here again. If you truly adore them, take a boat out to sea and play with the dolphins in their natural habitat.
Positive experience: I really enjoyed the show. It was both educational and fun. The pre-show was really annoying, although the person playing the idiot did a good job and really owned their part. (Thus the 4 stars.. the show itself is a 5)
Fantastic experience: The relationship between the dolphins and trainers is seen first hand as the dolphins swim and jump on command.you need to see it to appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Great show.. my son was chosen to be part of the show and let me tell you the staff was amazing. The experience for him will last his lifetime. From start to finish, the show was entertaining, full of laughs and enjoyment, and we also cooled down with a few splashes from the dolphins. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful show, these trainers work so hard to take care of these dolphins and get so close to them. I am blown away by the care and special effort that SeaWorld and it's trainers take to give these dolphins an amazing life. I will always be a season pass member even when I can't visit to contribute to something so beautiful. If you have never seen this show it's a must and you just might see one of the greatest things you have ever seen, I know I did. ❤️
Fantastic experience: I was amazed at how many tricks the dolphins knew and how in sync they were with each other and the trainers. I felt like the performers cared about the animals deeply and treated them with respect and love! The show wasn't too packed and I had plenty of room and a great vantage point!
Fantastic experience: Amazing time we had! Took my nephew here as a gift, and we all had a good time overall. Some of the attractions required additional purchases. However, most were included in the park admission. Sesame Street was off the chain and brought out my inner child during their daily parade. Kids loved it, too. The dolphins and show were amazing, pink flamingos, sharks and rays, and so much more. We are really glad we were able to experience Seaworld and all the things it has to offer.
Fantastic experience: Great show! Trainers do a great job at mixing education and fun. All the behaviors were great and you could tell the dolphins have a great relationship with their trainers. I live across the country, so have been 3 times, but it never disappoints!
Fantastic experience: Love Seaworld!!! Even as an adult. So much fun to see the adventures of sea life
Fantastic experience: This is a fun and educational show about Dolphins and their behaviors. They are capable of doing some pretty amazing things so this is a must see.
Fantastic experience: Love Sea World its been 30 years since I have been here always one of my favorites in FL
Positive experience: It was a lot of fun but it seems very short.
Positive experience: Nice place so much going on you need to see the show twice. No much guidance with seating in the stadium (other people were having issues.)
Fantastic experience: The fact that SeaWorld invest a lot in the rescue operation lessens my guilty feeling. And the fact that SeaWorld trainers are utilizes positive reinforcement lessens my guilty feeling even further. I did witness lovely interactions between the dolphins and the trainers. But still, I wasn’t feeling 100% comfortable with intellectual animals in captivity; one big reason why am not renewing the annual pass this year. But I have no intention of criticize who enjoys the show. Because we all have different perspectives. Because the show itself is so awesome and entertaining. Because the dolphins are so adorable. Because interactions with the trainers are so lovely.
Positive experience: It’s a shame that the show is the exact same show each time. Even my son says this is scripted. Where the mime artist? Every seat is a good view though & it’s a good view I’d like to see a bit more interaction with people & more variation in the show Having says that they are beautiful Mammals & a joy to watch
Fantastic experience: The shows were a bit short (brief) but they were great!!
Fantastic experience: Sea Worlds Dolphin show is a must! The trainers are well educated and know how to handle the dolphins the dolphins love their fish snacks as they perform and will make a splash for a cheer and a treat. If you go to Sea World, arrange time to visit the dolphin theater to ensure to catch a fin of an amazing flipper time!
Fantastic experience: Wanted to be a Marine Biologist as a kid...saw JAWS at the drive-in and changed my mind...always had a fascination with sea life..this was an amazing time and everyone was cheering and yelling....a must have experience!
Fantastic experience: This show was amazing I loved loved loved it wish it was longer but I understand they are animals. But beautiful can't wait for the Xmas show just know tickets are 130+ very pricy not impressed w the all you can eat won't buy it again spent $150 n if we are 50.00 was alot foo was terrible
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. You have to visit Sea World and go to this show. You won't regret it at all.
Fantastic experience: 6/12/23. Very fun and entertaining show. Also very educational. Kids will love the show. If you want wet sit up close.
Fantastic experience: It's a nice show but it could be better in time , because we were waiting for a 15 min show....
Positive experience: Neat little show. Seaworld is really pushing their whole new image thing after blackfish came out with all of the abuse. I personally think they should focus on rides liked they have been.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I received free (Veterans) tickets. Great full day of entertainment with the wife.
Fantastic experience: It was amazing seeing the skills of the dolphins and their trainors. Learned a lot about how we can help them. Very entertaining and educational.
Fantastic experience: Great show at Sea World Orlando! A must see family friendly show. I definitely would see it again. It was very educational and entertaining for all ages.
Fantastic experience: Great show. Hubby enjoyed it. Sat in the splash zone and got splashed. It was so busy.
Positive experience: Despite protest and some inhumane past practices at Seaworld. I decided to go and visit today with 2 other marine life loving friends. To see the changes that have been implemented at the Park. I can say for sure that the Shows are no longer what the used to be. From what I have watched they are basically now all talk about learning about the animals. For example at Dolphin Adventures, they explain and break down different parts of the behavior of the dolphins and how they interact with one another and also humans. They show off some skill that they do, even do it's basically the same skills done before only a learning curve ia added now. It's a nice show and it's always nice to see the beautiful dolphins. I just hope the changes weren't only applied to what we are able to see, but also to what we aren't able to see backstage.
Fantastic experience: So much fun! They had fans throughout the theater so it wasn't so stifling hot!
Fantastic experience: Amazing educational and entertaining event. Thank you for teaching 2 legged animal that there are are creatures living in earth and we need to care for each other .....not exploit others. Dolphins and many other sea and land creatures are harmed due to human activities. Stop and see, feel , learn and help!
Fantastic experience: Amazing the show was incredible completely enjoyed it..
Fantastic experience: Omg the dolphins are soooo amazing and I have learned soo much from staff and the best show on earth with dolphins they trust the caretakers soo much and they're amazing I cant give 10 stars to them but I'd like to they're amazing people and love animals I mean all of them thank you guys so much for the time of my life!! Keep up the good work!! But alot of rides were closed and shut down for renovations but that's the bad luck we had nothing against the park but at least they could have mentioned that they were shut down before the people purchase tickets but it is what it is
Fantastic experience: Absolutely Loved This Show , I can't wait to see this again ..
Fantastic experience: Always a fun and enjoyable time to take the kids to Sea World to learn about sea life. Amazing animals and trainers are super friendly with the kids!
Fantastic experience: Inside of SeaWorld Orlando and it was an incredible experience. Very playful and lots of fun.
Fantastic experience: I wish I lived closer and could come to this show regularly. The whole family enjoyed this. I just can't say enough how amazing the show was.
Fantastic experience: The Dolphin Show is my favorite part of SeaWorld, and I live roller-coasters.
Fantastic experience: My childhood dream come true. Very informative and interactive with the crowd! Was so much fun! Definitely recommend going to a later afternoon show as earlier shows the bleachers would be in the sun. Just all over amazing and you can tell that the keepers really care about the animals!
Positive experience: Always enjoy the dolphins and their acrobatics. So fun. Amazing!
Fantastic experience: A Great dolphin show with many exciting tricks. I was amazed at the talent, speed and obedience of the dolphins.
Fantastic experience: Such a fun show for the kids and us! The trainers are great with the dolphins and good at making it interactive with the audience.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic time watching the dolphins do their acrobatics. It was amazing to see!
Fantastic experience: This show was amazing. To see live dolphins in real life and not on T.V was amazing and educational. Highly recommend this show.
Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time watching the dolphin show. It was my first time at a marine type park and the dolphins had such high energy and happy enthusiasm. Definitely a must see!
Positive experience: The dolphins relate well to their trainers, and of course perform amazingly. While they are beautiful to watch, I'm more amazed seeing them during visits to the ocean, where it's much more serene.
Fantastic experience: Loved the show, learned alot about the ecology of the seas.
Fantastic experience: Very fun to watch the dolphins perform, jump, flip and splash. We went to the show 3 times in the same week and each show was similar but a little different depending on which dolphins were out performing. All in all, great time to sit down and watch some quite brilliant animals put on an entertaining show. It was only about 15 minutes long but just enough to give you a break from walking around
Fantastic experience: Easy to get in and out with plenty of seats. Great show and hosts are very friendly!
