The Dolphinarium in Varna is an unique attraction not only for kids, but for their parents as well. Built in 1984, with its 1134 seats in the presentation hall the Dolphinarium is one of its kind on the Balkan peninsula. The water needed for the pools is brought through a special duct and pumping installation from a distance of 80 metres in sea and at a depth of 3 6 metres, where the water is considered to be the clearest.
During the 30-minutes program, the dolphins will charm you with their intelligence and impressive skills. In 1992 the first dolphin was born, which was a good sign, that these fabulous animals are already making themselves at home in Varna. At visitors' disposal after the show is a pastry shop with huge underwater panoramic windows, revealing the live of the dolphins while having rest from the show.
