Shows
It’s a good idea to plan your day around the showtime hours.
There are currently 3 shows that are performed each day:

Each show is staggered throughout the day with 2 showings of each & about an hour between shows where you can use the time to visit the aquariums, splash park, etc.
Dolphin Show
The Dolphin show is probably considered the main event for most people & is performed in pools that are located in the centre of the park.
There is plenty of seating in the arena, but some may find the steps quite steep.
If you have mobility issues, make sure you enter the arena via the ground entrance & take a lower seat.
People located near the dolphin pool may get a friendly splash or two from the dolphins!

The sea lion enclosure is located just behind the dolphin arena on the beach side of the complex.
There is no seating, but instead, stand & watch from around the poolside.
