Please do not pay money to see these dolphins. They have been stripped from thier families in TIAJI, Japan. Their family were then slaughtered because they weren't deemed to be pretty enough to be put in a fish tank and taught to do tricks. Please watch the cove documentary before paying blood money to go inside this park. Help stop... More

Get there early, as it is a little difficult to find out the areas for the shows, Signage needs updating. But still a pretty good show

there are two shows: one indoors and one outdoors. the inside show was awesome- a couple of guys took turns doing tricks and swimming with dolphins and beluga whales. Definitely USA SeaWorld-esque. the outdoor show was disappointing- not much animal performances and silly clown acts instead. ticket price is not cheap. about 190 yuan. and they won't give halfprice student...

Had beluga whales performing with their trainers. Impressive show. The sea lions were also trained to perform & they did well.

It's a neat place and the polar bear s were my favorite. It's not as visually pleasing as sea world because it has a different spin but it was pretty neat.

The Polar Ocean World in Qingdao is very nice place to go with kids in Qingdao. The dolphin show is great and there are quite big pools with lots of fish. Especially nice is the fish feeding done by a diver in a diving suite. It will take you about 3 hours to complete the tour, including the show. Definitive... More
