Fantastic experience: The dolphin show at the Brookfield zoo is a FUN part of any zoo experience. Check out their new 110 ft tall ferris wheel too!

Nicole Purchase 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The new dolphinr show is wonderful and it's very interactive. My son, who just turned two thought it was great. And surprisingly, the air was really good in that show.

Brad Kennedy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The show is short, but the dolphins are very active and splash a lot. If you sit in front, you may get wet.

Wahuwammedo 1 year ago

Positive experience: Was a fun and packed show! The dolphins are ALWAYS awesome, but they didn't do the jump for the ball trick... They do still do it (we asked), but not every show, so don't get your hopes up. Great show overall! The dolphin show is always worth a watch! Especially for the price!

Fantastic experience: The dolphin show has just opened back up. It was extremely educational and fun for all of the family!

Carrie Gordon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We're so glad to see the dolphins back at Brookfield, and this afternoon's show did not disappoint! We even got a bird's eye view of the Seven Seas from the ferris wheel before we left today. Pro tip: don't join the line that builds up all the way past the restaurant an hour before show time. Use the left front entrance, and beat the crowd!

Edgar Hernandez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy taking my family to watch the dolphins at seven seas. Definitely worth it every time we go.

Jim Mc Cune 3 years ago

Positive experience: A 20-minute show that's fun for the kids. The "splash zone" can definitely get wet. Narration is by higher pitched female voices, so the dialog is sometimes difficult to understand because of the acoustics (or lack thereof).

Joseantonio Quiles 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fun for almost all ages... maybe don't sit in the splash zone with a newborn.

Sam Crothers 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing show. So nice that it is changed up so often on what they speak about.. Trainers are so nice and so amazing with the dolphins.

Amy Cooper 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My children Love sitting in the splash zone! It cracks me up because each time they get splashed it’s still a surprise!

chingpopola 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It is really neat. It's too bad you have to pay extra for it. I understand the zoo needs money to fund these things but they charge for everything now. Feels like soon they will charge you by the animal you see.

Vee P 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The dolphin show was good. I liked the fact that they left doors open for ventilation. Show was only 15 minutes but I was fine with that for the price I paid

Thomas Weber 3 years ago

Positive experience: This is great "fun for all ages" and also respectful of the animals and somewhat educational. You wish it could be a little longer. It makes a good climax to a zoo visit before going home.

Fantastic experience: Great time with the dolphins my kids love it was 20 min sho, but was great

Michael 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great show. Way to loud for our family. We had to walk out. No need for it being that loud. We wont go go back to that show . The rest of the zoo is great. Way over priced on all there food and beverages. We visit the zoo but bring our own thi gs to eat and drink in our coolers in the car. Zoo was very clean. We had also our grandson who has Autisum couldnt also take the sound how loud it was. We witnessed about 30 people come out with little kids . When we talked to outside they said to loud and wouldnt come back to the zoo. So im looking into other social media about there loudness. So if you really care for your patrons uou can reach out to me. Thanks.

Chris P. Bacon 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great show. Just be careful when you're sitting in the splash zone as you WILL get a mouthful of salt water. It was a lot of fun though. Would definitely go see it again.

Rachelle (Shelly) 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great experience for the kiddos.

Crystal Bax 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: THE BEST part of the whole zoo. Definitely do not miss out on the Dolphins in action!

Jace Faltin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The dolphins are so smart and so much fun to watch (for people of ALL ages). The show was a good length and there were a multitude of different tricks that they proudly showed off. It was clear that the dolphins were loved and well cared for by the trainers/staff. They don't seem to overwork the dolphins by having them perform for too long or too often, unlike some places. Definitely recommend! (If you sit in the first few rows and don't have a splash guard you WILL get wet, though).

Patricia Estrada 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My Aunt Berry lives here, she says it's great if you ignore the big things that stare at you through your windows ALL DAY LONG.

Ahmad A 3 years ago

Positive experience: Not bad. Show is about 20 minutes long. Area gets a little hot in the summer. More for older kids as the babies can't stand still for that long especially if it's hot

Ricardo Chavez 3 years ago

Positive experience: Its not so much that it was bad because it was cool seeing the dolphins jump and throw water and what not.i just feel like it was very short maybe it our expectations were a little too high. But the show itself is not bad its just short.

Kyle Swenson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great informative show as always. Even got to see a couple get engaged during the show!

Whitney Nantista-Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I loved the dolphin show they are my favorite animal at the zoo!!

Emily Stranski 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The dolphin show is always an entertaining 25 minutes. We have the unlimited membership which includes free admission but you do have to get tickets. Get your tickets at the front gate when you enter the zoo, there are long lines outside Seven Seas right before thre shows start. We normally get splashed a lot, but this time they didn't have that. Maybe since it's winter and it's cold outside. But in the summer be ready to get wet if you sit in the front. A fun educational show with music and neat tricks. Good for all ages.

Adam Richards 4 years ago

Negative experience: Do me a favor BKZ and get someone to put on some scuba gear and clean the bottom of that tank! There's so much dirt in that tank - it's disgusting and completely unfair to the dolphins in there.

Debra Johnson 4 years ago

Positive experience: While this was pretty awesome to see it was very short. Less than 15 minutes. Definitely worth a trip though. High energy and who doesn't love a dolphin!

Aaron Richard 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Classic Brookfield Zoo fun. See the dolphins, and then walk down and see the sea lions. Two palyfull water animals that are enjoying their lives at the zoo.

katie strocchia 4 years ago

Positive experience: Hard to hear what they are saying, when speaking to us inbetween music.... dolphins jump 5-10 times approximately... not trying to sound rude (I know training takes yrs, ect) but the show really isn't worth it. My 3 year old was bored, and didn't get what was happening.(so many breaks inbetween seeing dolphins). Also, the "Splash zone" was splashless ugggh. Appreciate the time and effort... but all around boring, and we LOVE the dolphins

Casey Royer 4 years ago

Anna Liceaga 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very cool to watch and experience first hand. Lots of cool tricks to see and interesting facts to learn. Loved it

Cindy Mueller 4 years ago

Negative experience: Hardly anyone was wearing a mask inside the building, and no one said anything to those who didn't. The dolphins barely got to do anything, and between everyone in the stands talking and the fans blowing, we literally could not hear one word that was said throughout the "show". Very disappointing.

Sharon Harrison 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fun for any age! Informative and yes,you could get wet!! Choose your seats wisely!

richard harris 4 years ago

Jenny Villarreal Arnold 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved the show care givers were uplifting and great with animals. Thank you

Maria Knapp 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My kids are finally interested in watching the dolphin show instead of walking up and down the rows and trying to find things to play with on the floor. Watching their expressions as the dolphins performed was priceless! Beware, masks are required in the seven seas and it gets hot! Not recommended for those with breathing issues right now.

Alyssa Kindell 4 years ago

Positive experience: It was an ok show the dolphins were cute. It was hard to hear what they were saying over the intercom because it kept echoing in the room.

Cadarrius Banks 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A really cheap price to experience something you may never see otherwise. The children loved it

Karen Lloyd 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love the dolphin show! Brings back memories of visiting there as a child, always a fun time. This time was my grandson's turn. Was happy to see they followed covid precautions; masks required in the building. The only problem is the significant reverb that makes it difficult to understand what's being said. But the dolphins are always charming, great trainers too. It's an essential part of visiting the zoo!

Fantastic experience: Love it. The dolphins where great. They where so cute. There tricks where excellent. Would pay to go again.

Jackie Tabbert 4 years ago

Positive experience: Kids enjoyed the show. It was very difficult to understand what the speaker was saying only could understand a word now and then perhaps they need to have a better pa system

Junior Cueto 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Seven Seas Dolphin show was great! They still require to wear masks indoor during the show, but it is not humid in there so it's not bad. The show itself is really good! The trainers are very informative and they do really neat tricks with the dolphins! They have pink bellies. The show itself is only $6 which is reasonable and well worth it. Really recommend going with the family and make sure you buy tickets beforehand to not be in a hurry and wait in line.

Anthony 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: a really nice area where you can watch many dolphins to tricks trained by the guards and getting fed.

M. Roc Pe'rine 6 years ago

Positive experience: Fun portion of the zoo. There's plenty of seating for the masses and the dolphins are very intelligent and comical. Be ready for splashes as you may get wet. The kids love it so you should go check it out even if its about 11 bucks a ticket.
