After months of construction at SeaWorld Orlando we finally get to see the dolphins play in their new and improved Dolphin Nursery with built-in viewing windows! This improved new take on the area is much better for children. Now they can see the dolphins play and swim under the water. And there’s even areas where kids can draw using colorful street chalk. The re-designed Dolphin Nursery also comes with an info screen, beautiful theming and intricate rockwork.
Nearby in the same area, Flamecraft Bar is also open, right next door to the SeaFire Grill. The Flamecraft Bar serves up craft beers, specialty cocktails and some snacks. Before we go we check in on Infinity Falls construction as well. Not too much going on, just spaying water to compact the dirt within the area. Check out the video and full photo report below, and stay tuned for more theme park news coming soon.

A look at the area
The ground is being compacted down using water
The palm trees in front of the structure are to remain as well
