Baltimore Aquarium's New Dolphin Show - Our Ocean Planet

The new Baltimore Aquarium dolphin show, Our Ocean Planet, explores the depths of Earth's waters by exploring a dolphin's world. Mixing conservation and science messages with fun, audiences leave not only amazed by the dolphins' flips and jumps, but with a deeper appreciation for the marine mammals.

Large monitors on either side of the pool replay some of the action plus show supplemental films geared toward conservation. Education is an important part of the aquarium's mission, and the dolphin show is no exception. Trainers show off the dolphins' leaps and splashes, and even recruit a few audience members to participate. The show lasts about a half hour, but it's best to arrive at least 15 minutes early. Sit in the "Splash Zone" (the first few rows) only if you don't mind getting wet. More aquarium tips
