Sarkanniemen Delfinaario

You can watch masterful tricks and games performed by five bottlenose dolphins at the Dolphinarium. The graceful movement of these animals is good fun for everyone, especially children. Performing in the shows is voluntary for the dolphins, and not different from the games they play together during their free time. In fact, most of the tricks were originally invented by the dolphins themselves. The dolphins came to Sarkanniemi from the Gulf of Mexico in 1985. The staff at the Dolphinarium strive to give the dolphins living conditions that are as natural as possible. The water in the pools is not changed, but instead recycled through a large filter. Sarkanniemi Dolphinarium was the first of its kind in the world to use a chlorine-free, completely biological water purification system. The auditorium has 900 seats. There is also a gift shop and an exhibition hall in the lobby. Admission fees vary from summer to winter, but the dolphin exhibit is always free for children under six. Because the show times vary so much, it is best to contact the Dolphinarium before going.
