Poseidon Theatre, Parc Astérix, Dolphinarium at Parc Astérix, France
The Poseidon Theatre is an open-air arena within Parc Astérix featuring tiered seating that overlooks a central performance space with a large pool. Divers and acrobats perform daily shows that combine diving techniques with theatrical elements and Greek mythology themes.
The venue opened in 1989 as a facility for marine mammals and operated in that form for several decades. A major redesign in 2021 transformed it into a stage for human divers and acrobats performing Olympic-inspired routines.
The current show 'Plongeons de l'Olympe' presents eight divers performing as Greek and Roman characters in competitive diving routines.
Multiple performances happen each day, so checking the schedule upon arrival helps you plan your visit. Seating provides good views from most locations, though you should prepare for sun exposure or occasional water splashing from the pool.
The venue has a noteworthy transformation behind it: it once housed dolphins and sea lions before becoming a stage purely for human performers. This shift from animal exhibitions to athletic art makes it an unusual entertainment venue within the theme park.
