Festa Dolphinarium, Dolphinarium in Varna, Bulgaria.
Festa Dolphinarium is a marine facility in Varna with dedicated pools for dolphins, seals, and other aquatic animals along with performance areas. The building has a glass and aluminum facade designed to integrate with the marine exhibits and show spaces inside.
The facility was established in 1984 and became Bulgaria's main center for marine entertainment. Since its opening, it has grown into a recognized place for encountering dolphins and seals.
The facility hosts daily shows where dolphins and seals display their natural behaviors through coordinated movements and work with trainers. Visitors watch these marine mammals interact with each other and with people in the performance spaces.
The facility opens Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 and 17:00, with show times varying by season. Plan time for multiple performances and to walk through the different viewing and exhibit areas.
