_TI***8oWhere do i even start, paid £120 for me and my child to hang on to a dolphins fins while it pulled us around a pool like an obedient little robot. these animals seems soul-less, was like a conveyor belt. this was supposed to be 10 minutes, my partner timed us, we got 6.5 minutes, 4 of those were spent posing for photos which they sell back to you! so they use YOUR paid for time, to produce more things they can sell back to you! also, once i got in the water, my son was too scared to hold the dolphin to have him pulled round, so they made my son cling to my back while i get pulled round, so they dont have to give me either more time (not that i even got my full 10 minutes anyway) or a refund. my son came round ONCE, didnt do anything else other than sit on the side. my partner decided he wanted a turn so he paid, he stood near the pool and a dolphin popped its head out and was 'smiling' at him as my partner pulled faces (not in a mean way) and he was told to move, he wasnt in the way he was literally front of the queue waiting for the current people to finish. god forbid he get some interaction for free, that was the least robot-like id seen any of those dolphins all day. so when my partner finally gets his turn, he got 14 minutes. so the 10 minutes is what you pay for but they seem to pick and choose, some people get less than they paid for while others get more. you dont get your moneys worth! if your child is terrified, you dont get the extra time for yourself or even 1 single free photo. you dont always get your full time anyway, i didnt, but its like a conveyor belt, you share the pool with other people during your 10 minutes so it isnt even a 'family' experience either, you share it with strangers, hold the dolphins fins and it drags you round the pool like youve pressed a button on a machine. i felt guilty AND ripped off for giving this place my money. dont do the same!
