    The dolphin show at seaworld was fantastic! super fun and I loved hearing the kids around me get excited! I hope the dolphins are treated better than I've heard they were in the past! I do highly recommend watching the show! I'm 29 and I felt like a kid because the energy was just super fun and it was my first time there! Bring out your inner child! Or just bring your actual kids and see the excitement on their faces!

    This theater has gone through some changes in recent years. It was a closed stage with sets that aligned with a narrative story being acted out on the stage. Now the stage is open and gives you a clear view of the Dolphin training area pools. The focus of this show is on educating the audience about methods they use to train dolphins, as well as teaching about caring for the environment to protect dolphins in the wild. The trainers take the time to talk to guests and answer their questions. They are all very knowledgeable.

    Oh, the classic SeaWorld dolphin show. What creatures dolphins are! They're so intelligent, yet so beautiful and cute and quirky and playful. The way they interact with humans both in captivity and the wild is just fascinating. Though I prefer to see my dolphins in the wild at a beach, I think SeaWorld does a pretty good job with this show. There's a beginning actor who almost acts as a jester in the pre-show, making jokes and entertaining us until more people fill in. I compared the setup of the dolphin show to the orca show, and the biggest difference was that the dolphin show by far had more live action of the animals, whereas the orcas had a heavy focus on entertainment. Thinking about the animals in both I think this approach makes sense. I've been to SeaWorld before their controversy and after, and the place where I noted the biggest change was in this dolphin show. It's quite interesting how much it was transformed. Even though it's more performance-based than the orca show, it's maybe a third as performance heavy as it used to be- believe it or not. I think the changes are definitely for the better. The old show was actually way out of hand, and there was so much going on it almost brought the dolphins out of focus, which is supposed to be the main reason to go. Even just the landscape of the show is so different. It's much more natural looking now, so then your eyes aren't distracted by a giant, flashy stage. But I have to say, even with all the changes for the better, I didn't enjoy this show as much. The dolphins are incredible, and I like that they still have taken a more educational approach. But something just was lost in translation for me. Maybe I'm numb to the coolness of dolphins because I live in Florida and see them decently often for a human, but I don't even think it's that. It just seemed like the dolphin show was lacking a little substance. They perform all these neat tricks and stuff, but it just seemed still too much. Like it was a hollow performance, if that would make sense. If you come to SeaWorld, certainly you should attend a dolphin show! But hopefully you'll have a different experience than I did.

    "Dolphins speak to us of the rhythm of our emotions: Breathing in joy before plunging into the depths- and rushing to the surface to do it all over again!" ~Unknown Last Monday while my daughter and I were in SeaWorld with my dad and stepmom we decided to check out one of their shows. These male bottlenose dolphins are highly trained and happily rewarded with buckets of tasty fish! They dance, do flips high in the air and take out their big fins to splash their trainer or you if you sit close enough! Next time ha ha! We learned this particular type of dolphin has a type of camouflage that protects themselves from predators, pretty cool! I would highly recommend attending this fun show, we had a great time and cannot wait to come back!

    At the risk of anthropomorphizing animals, this show has some of the cutest and most engaging animals available at Sea World. They even just look like they're smiling at you. They can't seem more playful and happy than they do, and that helps you want to watch them. The stunts and tricks that they engage in, the banter of the group and everything makes it a pretty good experience. In fact, the only negative I can say is how loud the sound and music are. My wife had to completely sit and plug her ears during the show because of the unbelievable volume. That old saying, "If it's too loud, you're too old." Well, I guess I'm too old, but at least I still have my hearing.

    One of the best shows at Sea World! Enjoy a little dance party and get excited with an MC pumping up the crowd! Then sit back and watch and multiple dolphins come into the stage area and start swimming around and jumping out of the water! They explain how these tricks are normal behavior for dolphins and the benefits these actions have for the animals in the real world. It's the most entertaining show! Dolphins always look happy and make for some great photo opportunities and wow moments!

    This was very entertaining. The dolphins were amazing to watch. We also learned a few facts about dolphins too.

    The dolphin show at Seaworld, Orlando is pretty much the worst show they have. Sorry, I just recently saw them all and it IS the worst show they have. First off, it's in a beautiful open-air theater area. The show starts off odd with some quite stupid back story about some girl that wants to walk on the waves and do stuff in the ocean. This leads a poor pink-clad dolphin trainer to do some idiotic dances and other stuff throughout the show that no self-respecting animal trainer should ever have to be subjected to. On with the show. Dolphins come out and do a variety of jumps and tricks for maybe 5 minutes. Then the show goes HORRIBLY wrong! For about 10-15 minutes (depending on if they do the whole thing or not), divers jump into the pool (feet first, odd) from high platforms and a bunch of birds fly around. Then people do some wire work (they're suspended over the pool) and a bunch of other junk that is best left for a circus. Oh, and MORE BIRDS. At this point, I'm thinking that it's a bird show. Seriously, up to 4 birds are constantly flying around the stadium over people's head. My guess is they do this to distract people from the train wreck that they are watching in front of them. Well, now we're 20 minutes into the show, and the dolphins come back out. Yep, FINALLY! They jump around, some trainers ride on them, and things are pretty neat for 5 minutes. Then it ends. Yup, over. Don't know what the heck Seaworld person decided that the public didn't really need to see dolphins at the dolphin show and took out the parts they had years ago where they talked to the audience about dolphins and how to train them and brought kids down to pet them. NONE of that happens anymore. It's like one big off off off off Broadway productions of BIRDS, featuring dolphins. Think of how much those songs that "ft. Jim Bob" actually have of Jim Bob singing. That's about how long the dolphins actually perform at the dolphin show. It's an embarrassment to an otherwise great park and someone should be fired, rehired, and then fired again and again just for the sake of the magic and amazement and fun that they ruthlessly sucked out of this show. My pictures are a bit misleading. I'm showing a lot of dolphins. Consider them to be like the 30 second previews for a horrible comedy movie that only has 30 seconds of funny, that's all you're going to see of dolphins.

    One of the best shows I have seen in a while. Everything from the dolphins to the acrobats to the staff. Top class. The music is absolutely spot on. Make sure to note the show timings and the weather conditions. Most water based shows get delayed or cancelled in tricky weather. We were lucky to enjoy this super fantastic show without any interruptions due to Mother Nature. I especially loved the sequence where one of the performers rides on the nose of the dolphin. So special. The 5 or 6 dolphins jumping in and out of water in unison was spellbinding. The acrobats jumping into the water and then suspended back up to the heights - a little cirque de soleiel. The time goes by in flashes and before you know, the show is over. So one piece of advice I would absolutely emphasize on would be - don't waste time taking too many pictures or video recordings. The show is simply spectacular. I did take a few pictures but I am so going back again tomorrow to this show again to enjoy it without any self created distractions. Even the parrots that fly around the stadium are such a joy to watch. If you are at the Seaworld - don't miss this show for anything.

Complex is easy to get to being a part of Disney with parking being an ease. Pick a sport, name a sport... ESPN got with their huge baseball complex and indoor arenas. The many dozens of outdoor fields can hold many games at the same time. Although the field quality can be better but it's not horrible considering the amount of traffic and events they hold so kudos to the ground crew for keeping the field quality decent considering the amount of usage weekly. The complex is organized and easy to get around. Wish they would strongly enforce a harder trash mandate to ensure patrons pick up after themselves as more often than none, teams and patrons leave a mess around bench's and team sidelines after each game. Although it's not ESPN's fault and more on the citizens attending events to clean up after themselves. They have several food outlets and vendors and food trucks for those long days on the field. With the hot Florida sun, love that they have watering and hydration stations around the fields with plenty of water coolers to help athletes stay cool and hydrated. However, I wish they have more shaded areas and maybe even covered spectator viewing areas or benches as the sun can be brutal so come prepared with your own tent or umbrella, etc Overall, attended many events and competitions at the venue and it's always a great facility and they always put in a great show overall!

I don't have many arenas to compare Kia Center to, and I feel like basketball/hockey arenas are a lot more homogeneous than say baseball stadiums. There was nothing here to really knock my socks off like when I took my dad to see the Tigers play at Pittsburgh's glorious PNC Park. But it was a swell time nonetheless. I also don't usually spring for or get freebies for lower bowl seats so it's a bit apples and oranges to try to compare the close to the action seats I treated us to here to the high altitude ones I usually find myself in at Little Caesar's Arena, recently for a game 2 playoff win against these same Orlando Tragic. Sorry, I should try to keep it classy here, especially since my Pistons bought themselves a trip to Cancun in the second round. Anyways we had good seats with nice sightlines. Outside they had a whole fan experience area that seemed many geared to young people but wasn't happening too much. Funny cause there's a kind of party area courtyard outside LCA that's usually pretty sleepy for the games I've been to. Just random stray selfie takers mostly. The pizza stand we hit up was well organized and smooth, letting a big queue move through there pretty quickly, with its system of grabbing premade slices, beverages and snacks yourselves and then cashing out with cards at self service kiosks. There's stands at LCA set up like that but only for beverages and snacks, nothing with food that will serve as a whole meal. I also like this better than the system I encountered at PNC Park in Pittsburgh where you have to preorder and cash out on your phone and then come up when your number is called. The pizza was okay, nothing outstanding but arena and stadium food never really is. You could tell it was an Orlando Magic home game but there was a sizable and vocal Pistons fan contingent there. We actually sat next to a couple of Detroit fans and there were a couple more a couple rows behind us. With Orlando being such a tourist destination I feel like they probably often get mobbed up with fans of visiting teams, at least from the eastern part of the country (and Canadian Raptors fans) especially at certain times of the year. My decibel meter on my phone only maxed out around 100 which isn't too great, though the arena was probably somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 full. No comparison to John Mason player intros back home but all the usual whistles and bells with snippets of rap songs, cheerleaders, youth performers and a dragon as opposed to a horse mascot. Not a bad arena. I wouldn't mind seeing a concert there one night if I ever get the opportunity to see a good one.

The staff was more or less friendly but a lot of them seemed to wanna be anywhere else but there while the event was going on. The bathrooms were absolutely atrocious and should have been cleaned every thirty minutes. There was water and who knows what else, everywhere. Food was pretty good, from the handful of things I had over the weekend, but the prices were ridiculous. They wanted almost $10 dollars for an Auntie Anne's pretzel.

Those venues did not open until late afternoon, so we ended up eating at one of their restaurants for lunch (which wasn't too bad actually).

The park listed the hours of operation until 8pm, but they were closing everything, except the gift shops of course, at 7pm; thus we did not get to go up in the Sky Tower to watch the sunset. A custodian employee working that area was kind of dumbfounded that nobody (other employees) was there as well. I planned to give this visit a 2 star rating (could've been better), but opted for 3 (OK) because we did enjoy a couple of shows and the Expedition Odyssey ride. BTW, there are a couple bars that actually have a 'happy hour' but it is not advertised. We were only informed of this by the guest services employee who volunteered the 411.
