whale show
Marine mammal spectacle
A whale show is a live performance at a marine park or aquarium featuring trained whales—typically orcas or belugas—performing tricks like jumps, splashes, and interactions with trainers.
Once a major attraction at places like SeaWorld, whale shows have become controversial due to concerns about animal welfare and captivity: We took the kids to the whale show, but I felt conflicted the whole time.
