Disney's Dolphins in Depth

Meet the dolphins of The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion at Epcot and learn about their complex undersea behavior.

During this 3-hour experience, which 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.

You will get wet—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.
