dolphin shows
Aquatic mammal entertainment
Dolphin shows are live performances at marine parks and aquariums where trained dolphins execute tricks and acrobatics—jumping through hoops, balancing balls, splashing audiences.
Once a staple of family entertainment, they've become controversial as awareness grows about captive dolphin welfare: We used to love dolphin shows, but now they feel wrong.
