It is impossible to imagine a seaside resort town without a dolphinarium. Circus performances with the participation of the inhabitants of the seas are enjoyed by spectators of all ages. Evpatoria Dolphinarium is one of the most popular in Crimea. Today it is located in a large modern building and delights the audience with performances daily.
New dolphinarium with a glorious history
The first dolphinarium in Evpatoria was opened in 1997. The entertainment complex is located in the building of the hydropathic clinic, located on the Gorky embankment. For 15 years, the dolphinarium has delighted residents and guests of the city with vivid performances.
However, already in the mid-2000s, it became clear that the complex was not suitable for the permanent maintenance of marine animals and show programs. The old Yevpatoria Dolphinarium had too small an auditorium (for 250 people) and needed to be updated and overhauled.
In 2009, the construction of a new building began. First performances in the newdolphinariums began in 2012. The building resembles a classic circus, but instead of an arena there is a large swimming pool. The building has a domed roof, the central part of which moves apart during the warm season. In addition to the water arena, the dolphinarium has two more pools, where the main artists relax and train. Modern water filtration systems make animals comfortable and as close to natural conditions as possible.
