Epcot Seas Adventures – Dolphins in Depth

During a 3-hour Epcot experience that wraps up with a once-in-a-lifetime photo op and a souvenir, you’ll talk to the expert trainers and researchers who work with our bottlenose dolphins every day.

Gain a better understanding and greater appreciation of these wondrous creatures as you:

• Interact with our dolphins in waist-deep water for approximately 30 minutes.
• See firsthand how we care for the dolphins day to day.
• View backstage areas and learn how the dolphins are trained.
• Sit in on a training and research session with our team of marine mammal specialists.
• Participate in conversations about global issues affecting ocean life.

And remember: you will get wet from—and most likely splashed by—our dolphin residents! Please bring a bathing suit if you wish to enter the water. You do not need to swim or be SCUBA-certified to take part in this experience.
