Took the kids to the Dolphin Show at Aksu Dolphinarium, and it was such a hit! The dolphins are amazing and so playful, jumping through hoops like pros! 😃 The whole family loved it, especially our little ones. They absolutely loved the sea lions, too. We didn't do the swimming part this time, but definitely considering it for our next visit. A great way to spend an afternoon! 🐬🌟
