The Dolphinarium of Constanța
About This Museum
I had no idea this place started life as a proper dolphinarium back in the early 70s, which totally explains the retro-futuristic vibe of the main building. These days, it's a whole natural history complex where you can wander from dinosaur skeletons to a planetarium show that makes you feel tiny. The big draw for families is definitely the dolphin show in the original pool, complete with acrobatics and lots of splashing. And just when you think you've seen it all, you stumble upon an aviary filled with squawking, brilliantly colored exotic birds.
Collection Highlights
The dolphin show is the main event, but don't miss the planetarium's immersive star shows and the surprisingly large aviary with parrots and macaws.
Visitor Information
It's super easy to find right on Mamaia Boulevard; just check their website for the dolphin show times as they're the most popular thing and can get busy.
Architecture & Building
It has this distinct, slightly dated concrete dome that screams '1970s vision of the future', which is honestly part of its charm.
