Batumi Dolphinarium is a popular family attraction in central Batumi 🐬 It is located at 51 Rustaveli Avenue, near 6 May Park and Nurigeli Lake, so it is easy to visit during a walk through the central part of the city.
Batumi Dolphinarium went through a long 20-year pause and reopened in 2011 in 6 May Park. Over this time, the dolphinarium was completely transformed and developed. The amphitheatre now seats more than 850 visitors and is divided into 4 sectors.
The show features bottlenose dolphins, as well as a South American sea lion. The animals perform an entertaining programme under the guidance of experienced trainers.
The dolphinarium hosts short dolphin shows suitable for both adults and children. The performance lasts about 35 minutes: long enough to see the main acts, but not too long even for families with small children. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office, but in summer and on weekends it is better to choose the showtime and seats in advance.
Before visiting, check the current schedule and ticket prices on the official website of the dolphinarium. The price may depend on the showtime, season and additional services. The aquarium and swimming with dolphins may be paid separately.
For families with children, it is better to choose seats with a good view, closer to the centre of the sector and slightly above the first rows. This way, children can watch the show more comfortably, while adults can take photos and see the whole arena. If you want to be closer to the water and the emotions, you can choose lower rows, but keep in mind that there may be more noise, movement and possible splashes.
After the show, it is convenient to continue your walk through 6 May Park, go out to Nurigeli Lake or walk to Batumi Boulevard. Thanks to its location, the dolphinarium easily fits into a relaxed route through central Batumi without long transfers.
After your visit, leave a review on Madloba.info - tell other travellers which showtime you chose, where you sat, whether it was easy to buy tickets and whether Batumi Dolphinarium is worth visiting with children. Your experience will help others plan their visit better.
