Three buildings stand side by side: Orca Stadium, Dolphin Stadium and Aqua Live, whose theme is the life of water. Aqua Live's third floor has a touch pool with rays and sharks, and its fourth floor keeps sea lions, seals and penguins. A third-floor bridge links the buildings. An orca monument stands in the plaza just inside the gate. Optional programs take visitors backstage and out to meet the sea turtles and dolphins.

Tickets go on sale on the 1st of each month for the two months ahead. Dates and ticket types cannot be changed after purchase; cancelling is free until the day before, 100% on the day■Official booking site ↗
