Batumi Dolphinarium, Marine animal facility in Batumi, Georgia.
The Batumi Dolphinarium is a facility in Georgia where dolphins perform in a large amphitheater designed to accommodate several hundred spectators. The site also displays various other marine animals, giving visitors a window into underwater life.
The facility was founded in 1975 as the first public aquarium in the Soviet Union, allowing visitors to observe living marine creatures. After the collapse of the Soviet era, the site was modernized and reopened in 2011 with improved infrastructure.
The shows explore the bond between humans and marine life, helping visitors understand how these intelligent creatures interact and behave in their natural environment.
The facility is accessible most days of the week with performances scheduled at different times throughout the day. Visitors should check when shows occur in advance and wear comfortable clothes, as the amphitheater is partially exposed to the weather.
Beyond the familiar dolphins, the facility houses many fish species including piranhas from South America and other unexpected marine inhabitants. This makes it more than just a dolphin show, but a window into global marine diversity.
