Has anyone done the Beluga Encounter?

We were thinking of booking this when we go next year and were wondering how the interaction is. About how much time do you spend with the whale? We did the dolphin encounter previously at Discovery Cove and had a blast.

I've done this interaction. I say it's well worth it. You get about 20 minutes with the whale doing things that include petting it, feeding it fish, giving it hand signals, posing with it for pictures. I thought it was alot of fun. It was also very informative.

Thanks KBF. 20 minutes is a nice amount of time. We are really looking forward to this. My daughter loves the Beluga Whales.
