🗣️ Dolphin Nursery: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved the close encounter session. It's well organised and the staffs are extremely passionate. We had 10:30 appointment and it starts at the base of sky tower. Sky tower is at the right side of the entrance. Can't miss the huge flag. U can also purchase during your visit. Also don't miss underwater dolphin and theatre. shows are at different times so just check the schedule ahead.
Positive experience: The shows and the wildlife have really gone downhill over the past years.
Fantastic experience: Very cute... everyone loves Dolphins. They will entertain you once they realize you're watching them.
Negative experience: So sad seeing these highly intelligent creatures kept in house arrest in concrete for their whole life only getting food for tricks..
Negative experience: How sad to see these poor dolphins ripped away from their families and the ocean for this cruel entertainment
Positive experience: I've not been yet tried to call to get info. The number goes to a woman that not affiliated with this place. They need to update and correct the phone number.
Fantastic experience: Jesse, SeaWorld employee shared great information about the dolphins. We got to see a 7 mo old male dolphin who was recused.
Negative experience: Dolphins are one of the most intelligent beings on earth, they do not belong in man-made enclosures. I choose to Show my love for dolphins by Going on a whale-watch trip to sea. #DolphinProject #nomoretanks
Negative experience: It's so disgusting to see such beautiful and stunnig Dolphins in captivity. They show sick and traumatised sterotypical behaviour. They are heavily injured because of the tiny tanks. They are aggressive and kill trainers because they're put into this tiny tanks. Please don't support such cruel torture if you love Dolphins or animals in general.
Fantastic experience: Omg! These sweet dolphins were actually talking back at me and waving with their bottom fin turning upside down. Truly magical! This is my favorite spot on the whole park. There are a few windows on the side that gives a very inmersive experience
Fantastic experience: Really fun to watch the young dolphins. They emerald ham it up for you if you stick around.
Negative experience: Very bad paying customer experience today is September 19 2022. One of your employees harassed me in regards of my son touching a rock ! I was rudely attacked by bomb rushing me saying the Dolphins are protected by the law. I stated to Orlando employee, I understand and she initiated and proceeded to mover forward with the conversation after I was already told not to touch the rock . I will be reaching out to corporate !
Fantastic experience: Great experience .. staff were great to have a closer experience at the nursery it was more money .. which I found a bit cheeky with the cost of seaworld itself lockers and eateries even just for juice was high end of our family budget but it's still Amazing .
Fantastic experience: This is a lovely area of the park especially in the morning or evening, morning is Better. It is not well shaded, but it gives amazing views of mother and calf dolphins, as the calves learn and grow up. SeaWorld set the viewing up perfectly for children to watch and interact with their dolphin peers. It is a small hidden gem. Complete with child level underwater viewing and glass viewing bubbles into the tank where the baby dolphins play with human kids.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and interesting show of wel trained Dolphins we enjoyed this.
Positive experience: Not really as entertaining as the orca experience, this was an ok view of the baby dolpins. Excellent for toddlers and little visitors

Fantastic experience: Great habitat and the animals are well treated
Fantastic experience: I throughly enjoyed this place,was a dream of a lifetime
Fantastic experience: We were there at 9am which is feeding time....they are adorable!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place to relax and watch the baby dolphins swim around with their mothers. They have keepers talks throughout the day, and they have great underwater viewing for kids as well. There is a coffee shop just around the corner, so this is a great stop in the morning. Or you can also grab food from around the corner and bring it to the benches to relax while you enjoy some of my favorite marine animals.
Positive experience: Took my 4 year old for her birthday. She was very happy and loved every second. Only down side of a small child is it is hard to reach into the pool to touch the dolphins. No issues with the experience.
Fantastic experience: The baby dolphins are so very smart
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing experience! Had an amazing time with the family and can't recommend doing the Paid Tour enough. Such a great family memory
Fantastic experience: My kids and I had the best time and I will strongly recommend it and my son who is 16 enjoyed it as well

Fantastic experience: SeaWorld is great for the whole family.
Fantastic experience: Omg so amazing. Dolphins encounter was the bomb
Negative experience: Never could get in due to massive lines. Huge waste of time. Totally bizarre. Don't bother with Sea World until they fully open the park.
Fantastic experience: What a great start to the day. We were the first ones to view this morning. The guide was super informative and zero crowd at 0900. We got to leisurely view the dolphins and learn a bit of trivia and their history. Some in the party got great video. Only regret is the grand kids were not there. Very much worth the time.
Fantastic experience: Awesome, Great place to take the grandchildren. And I commend them on their Waives of Honor program giving free tickets to Veterans.
Fantastic experience: They take injured animal's in when they recover they then release them That's a wonderful gift. Thank you Mr & Mrs Mauro Wolff

Fantastic experience: It was cute to have my kids touch and interact with the baby dolphin. No where else can they have this experience.
Fantastic experience: Very fun and entertaing, You can tell that the dolphins are enjoying themselves. They kept swimming over to the side that we, us humans, were at and would splash and cajole among themselves
Fantastic experience: Very fun experience. The trainers were very kind and knowledgeable along with playful to keep the dolphins happy and playful. Its only about a 10 minute encounter where you get to feed and pet the dolphin on it's back and belly along with doing hand commands that the dolphins will execute. You can tell the dolphins love the trainers and have a lot of fun playing with them. If you are near sea world. This and shark experience is a must!
Fantastic experience: Really amazing. Pray for a lovely weather, otherwise the show will be cancelled. And it is not about the rain! It is about thunders and storms.
Fantastic experience: Ohhh my gosh!!!! I love being at the Dolphin Nursery! My last visit I played peak a boo with a baby dolphin for 15-20+ minutes and I don't know who was more entertained, me or the dolphin? This visit they just sat there with me checking me out while I talked to them. Sooo much fun.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous up close tour with the dolphins!!
Fantastic experience: Location is an attraction within Sea World Orlando. Granddaughter did the dolphin encounter (extra cost) and she really enjoyed it.
