I LOVED this! You walk into the area and are given a short introduction on the place, how the dolphins aren't trained but have feeding and play sessions instead. A few obvious and good rules are stated and you are off to explore on your own.
In the dolphin area they had two mothers with their calves. From above you are literally at water level and can watch as they swim or wait for a train to feed or play with them. The play is sooo cute and they do amazing flips. You can also go below ground level and see them swim from the bottom. They get right near the glass so it's fun.
The cats were amazing to look at. There were a few large cats all just sleeping together on a large log and their tails just swinging - so neat! The baby leopard though was sooooo cute. He was just laying around on his own patch of grass and was cute to see.
The area is large, nice to just watch, chat and stroll. It's clean, fairly quiet and the staff is friendly and informative. They also have two gift stores well stocked and a little snack hut with food, sodas and cheap beer.
It's great I think if you aren't looking for a show persay, like to just roam on your own and like dolphins and large cats obviously!
