you can buy fish and feed them. we did it last year and it was great to get up cose. it got very busy ad you need to buy the fish as early in the timeslot as possible as once thye sell out that's it

Feeding the dolphins at seaworld it's really worth the experience, my boys were a little reluctant to actually hand over the fish themselves incase they were eaten by the dolphin!!! But they loved the fact that it came up so close and Mum would've been the possible target. Make sure you get them to wash their hands before touching anything though as you'll stink of fish for the rest of the day!! Have fun.

We (well, my little bro) fed the dolphins at sea world and he got a lovely souvenir picture taken which we got to keep. It got really busy and people tried to push in but it was still lovely to see them so close up.

$5 for 3 fish and there are photographers opposite taking pics but they were not very good and we had better ones we took ourselves. Do it when you first get there on opening if possible, it was lovely and quiet and we stayed there for ages.

it is possible to get close to dolphins if you stand there long enough you may get to touch one,

A good tip is get to seaworld for it opening, head straight to dolphin cove and join the queue to buy the fish for there first feed with the public of the day, then when u get the fish just head to a nice spot and they will come up to you, if you are in early enough to get quite near the front you could have the dolphins to yourself for a little while before others come through, thats what we did. its lovely to touch them.

We're going to Discovery Cove, as well as one day at Seaworld. Is it therefore worth taking time at Seaworld to see dolphins? Any thoughts appreciated!

Im going to discovery cove too and still plan to go to see and feed them, i know last year i got so addicted to doing this, i wanted to do it practically every day.! Think after being so close to them at dc, you will want to go and get up close again. they are soooo addictive. ;)
