Adler Dolphinarium (previously called Aquatoria) is located near the largest Russian Oceanarium Sochi Discovery World Aquarium, closer to sea and railway station “Izvestia”.

Dolphinarium in Adler
Although, to be honest, in the courtyard the pool water is Boats didn’t impress me, but Mickey Mouse with a vampire face and in the uniform of the galactic usurper is generally traumatic for a nursery psyche. It seems to me that small children should have frightened to cry and hide behind mom.
In general, the dolphinarium did not make a special impression on me I didn’t even want to get a camera. I’ve been here after school time, so I admit that my impressions are superficial and have sense to get here during the show, but I heard about them from my subscribers and friends. The courtyard is pretty a sad sight, the cashier in her burrow carefully avoided opportunities to talk to me and seriously talked about phone, although I was ready to wait an hour and give 600 rubles for the opportunity to look at dolphins and other marine animals from the water circus.
Parking near the dolphinarium is not, from the bus stop it far enough, have to walk in the heat and better come here in the evening, without small children. The same advice applies to visit the show – choose the evening, at 18 o’clock. Do not torment the heat of the kids under the open sky in a not blown stuffy building, yes t adults too will not be so hot to sit these 45 minutes of the show. Dolphins bottlenose dolphins of Chach and Rada, sea lion Masha, beluga whales Stepan and Piglet and nouneym seal, which appeared not so long. Adults like the view through one, but children always remain enthusiastic after every show.
According to visitors, approximately 80% praise and show and leading in the style of “the master of fun and interesting competitions”, and Twenty percent remain in bewilderment and skepticism. Music loud, presenter immensely talkative, the show itself mediocre and prolonged. If the chatter was less, then missed twice as less time, but I understand everything – it’s necessary beat 600 rubles. In general, the sophisticated viewer has nothing to do here. and if you are thinking of visiting, then – as an exception and in bad the weather. Anyway, the first few rows are constantly sprinkled with water. from the pool.
Negatives in the general set of impressions add unpleasant rudiments of a scoop – photographers with animals at the entrance to the Adler Dolphinarium. These comrades are persistently offering services that receive permanent failures, from this they get angry, stick already annoyingly aggressive, and when they run up to a dupe, then recoup in full and spin the money. Calling a price of 250 rubles they are silent, that is the cost of one frame, and not the whole photo shoots, and after the tourist gets his pictures, swearing begins when calculating. Why are they still not driven back? and do not pursue the law on the protection of animals – I do not understand.
