A Real Parent's Story

The dolphin splash that soaked 3 rows of strangers

A dolphin did a triple twist and landed like a cannonball. Everyone screamed with joy.

The dolphin show is genuinely impressive - trainers and dolphins clearly have an incredible bond. The shark tunnel was my 9-year-old's favorite. She wants to be a marine biologist now.
