    In the complex there is a nice walk around the lake but when queuing to get into the Delfinariu, there is absolutely no shadow which is a pity. There are mostly families with kids and standing in the burning sun until the door opens is not a pleasant beginning of the dolphin experience. The show, however, is stunning. The dolphins together with the the trainers provide an absolutely amazing experience. No tourist visiting Constanța should skip this place! (Just careful with car parking - tickets can only be bought online.)

    I visited this place a loooong time ago, but the show was not impressive at all. Now the show is amazing. You don't know where to look. The trainers and the dolphins are exceptional. They do a lot of stuff. The jumps are impressive. It really deserved all the money paid for it. My kid was really impressed. I was really impressed. Totally recommend it

    We are a family with two kids from Bulgaria, we visited the natural resort and the dolphinarium and we spent almost the whole day there with the kids. We were lucky as the weather was great at the last day of October and we all loved it. It's a lovely natural place to be with the kids in the middle of the city. We couldn't manage to see the planetarium but we will next time :)

    Great experience, I surely recommend. We came 45 minutes before the show and there weren't many people then, but as time was progressing, many people were coming. We had good seats because we were at the beginning of the lane. Show with dolphins is at 11am, 3pm and 6:30pm. There is also a mini zoo, but there aren't many facilities, places to sit. It looks little old and not taken care of.

    Great experience! Amazed by the dolphins' wonderful performance - did not expect such a show of speed, power and an actual impression of enjoyment from the 2 dolphins. Although greatly shadowed by the dolphin experience, tje parc itself is nice and cosy, a few animals and a lot of birds to enchant the children. Will definitely return!

    If you are in Constanta, this place is a MUST SEE. At the moment there are 2 seals, 2 resident romanian dolphins and 4 ukrainian ones. During the weekend it's suuuuper bussy especialy for the dolphin show. If you have kids they would love it, if you don't have kids you can take yourself there and feel like a kid. It's 80 lei to take a photo with a dolphin and 60 to take a photo with a seal - worth it if you think you get ro touch them for a second while creating a beautiful memory. Bare in mind - if you stay in the front row you might get TERRIBLY WET

    My little one liked it a lot, I would have preferred the planetarium to only show space related stuff. The rest is amazing, the dolfin show its very good

    The dolphin show is really incredible and absolutely worth to see!! They show a remarkable artistic Performance. Chaotic is the parking, be sure to buy *online * (only possibility!!) A parking ticket in advance, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter. You can also buy the other Tickets online such as micriconservatio abd Aquarium. The latter is 6 km away and 30 min by car. Besides the parking chaos a great place, very crowded, so plan some waiting time.

    If you are a tourist in Constanta, this dolphinarium should definitely be on your list of places to visit. It's impressive how a sea creature can be trained so well. Besides dolphins you can also go to see the sea lion show.

    The show really exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it! Pictures do not do it justice, you need to see the show in real life and feel it, it's great!

    Great for kids, with free and caged birds and animals from around the world. Not too big -- I think a visit would last 30 - 45 minutes. Note that, apparently, buying tickets online gives you access to a parking nearby.

    It has an amazing show with kind people coordinating. It shows that they have respect for the animals. It was definetely worth it. We parked in a nearby street, paying with TPark - if you don't have online tickets in advance, you can't enter their parking, even so, it's paid parking, and you have to buy that as well online. So, make sure to get there in time.

    Super dolphins show. Still they had some audio technical issues but the dolphins were not to blame for this. The trainers are professionals and know how to play with the mamals. The speed of the dolphons and their reactions are very impressive. Great job ladies.

    Very nice to visit with kids, but not very well maintained. Some of the animals seemed that they were not very well taken cared off, but all in all you came spend a few hours there, easy access with a stroller.

    Very nice to visit while in Constanta. There is “Delfinariu” and then there is the micro reservation.

    I've been here during weekend, to see both the sea lions and dolphins shows. We bought the tickets on the spot but the previous show was only finished so there was no queue. I do recommend buying them online so you won't need to stay on any queue or in cold weather. The tickets are scanned on entry and, in a group, scanning one is enough to be allowed access. The location is quite big, with multiple places to visit. The main part is, of course, the building where the shows take place, but you can also check the planetarium and zoo. Overall it could use some renovations and upkeep, but it's far from being a desolated place. And there is a big panel informing visitors that the place is already scheduled for renovations. The sea lions' show was .... okay. Not boring but not blowing your mind also. The two sea lions performed quite well and with diverse activities. The dolphins show however was, in my opinion, great. Twice as long as the other one, with 6 dolphins and 3 trainers that were also involved in the show. This one is a "must see", especially for the kids. Overall I recommend going there at least once. It's definitely worth your time.

    Only the drops of water felt on my face told me that the show was real. Humans and dolphins playing together perfectly in a spectacle that must be seen to understand what words photos or films cannot describe. Excellent amazing show!

    Es wird nichts in die Instandhaltung, geschweige denn in die Tiere und deren Gehege investiert. Der Park ist ein Witz. Fragwürdige Attraktionen aus Müll und unbewohnten Bereichen. Die Delphine Show war okay, dass Becken hat schon lange keine Farbe mehr gesehen.

    What a show these sweet dolphins can create, together with their amazing instructors! Besides the special connection that is created between these 2 parts, the dolphins and their instructors, the kids can connect very fast with the dolphins, some of them even being touched by the wonderful creatures from the pool. I do recommend to participate to the show made by the 6 wonders!

  • 5/5 Laura Monica C. 7 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    This place is amazing! The dolphins clearly enjoyed what they were doing, and they seemed SO happy performing. Even after the show, they still played and jumped in the water. It's really enjoyable seeing such creatures do such amazing things!

  • 3/5 Iuliana P. 7 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Visited together with my 9 years old son. Definitely it is a place to see if around the city. ✔️There are 2 experiences per day: first at 11 am, second at 3 pm (30 minutes). The acces is not allowed after the show starts. ✔️As today they have 6 dolphins. ✔️ I recommend to purchase the tickets online. ✔️ Parking spaces were not available, however there is a supermarket (Lidl) at 5 minutes walk where you can find a parking space ➡️ Would have rated higher if the place would be managed a little bit better. The waiting queue was super chaotic. Inside was super hot as there is no air conditioning.

  • 5/5 Ed W. 9 months ago on Google
    The two shows with the sea lions and especially the dolphins are fantastic. What I really liked is that you can see that the people treat them very well. They are well fed and very well trained. Six dolphins and three trainers, which means that one trainer takes care of his two dolphins. You can see the excellent chemistry between the dolphins and their respective trainers. I was just fascinated to see a show live. You know it from various videos from the internet or TV, but to experience it live is something completely different and special. Very wonderful animals. I can only suggest it to everyone to visit the shows.

  • 5/5 Cristian L. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice dolphin show for the children. A good place for a walk and entertain them with various wild animals, some (friendly) of them roaming free!

  • 4/5 Laura W. 4 years ago on Google
    The reserve is awesome. The dolphin show is amazing. It would be nice if there w was a restaurant to eat at. Also there was no way to see the seals.

  • 5/5 Andrei Vladut M. 10 months ago on Google
    With 6 dolphins and 3 trainers, they make a very good show. Kids will be the most impressed, but not only.

  • 5/5 Cosmin D. 10 months ago on Google
    Recommend for a great show! Take time for a short tour arround. Congratulations to the dolphins girls for their work.

  • 5/5 Foti V. 3 years ago on Google
    A great trip for the whole family! The zoo can be accessed for free if you buy a ticket for te Delfinariu. Totally worth it. Here are some photos for you guys! Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Rami Abu S. 10 months ago on Google
    Probably one of the best shows with dolphins and seals.

  • 4/5 Shiba 9 months ago on Google
    The dolphin and sea lion shows were great, a bit short, but entertaining and interesting. There's a little animal reservation to visit whilst waiting for the next show to begin, so no time's wasted. Overall, it's a nice 1 day activity, and it's worth visiting at least once.

  • 5/5 Alexandru S. 3 years ago on Google
    New playgrounds for kids were recently opened and this made the visit more exciting. There is still a lot of work in progress that should be masked better.. But overall is very nice, animals and birds are looking good and well cared for

  • 5/5 Zack D. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best attraction in Constanta, very qualified staff and a very impressive activity to see… especially with the kids.

  • 4/5 Florentin V. 3 years ago on Google
    The sea lions show was fun, a bit short though, and not that many activities. The microreservation was almost empty, just a few birds, not to many information layed out to absorb. Overall great place, to spend some time, could do more in the department of knowledge and information presented to the visitors.

  • 4/5 Eduard B. 8 months ago on Google
    Wonderful animals and the show is breathtaking, the only negative is the seating arrangement, specifically that the seats aren't numbered so seating is a bit chaotic, in the end some free seats are left but they are spread out so that if 2 people come they can't find seats together

  • 5/5 Edyta A. 8 months ago on Google
    Great customer service, nice show, would be nice to receive hand map or sth as while show is finishing don't know where to go and what to see. I guess better to use app or connect directly to website while visiting.

  • 4/5 Daniela P. 3 years ago on Google
    I really liked this place. The dolphins and sea lions were so cute and well trained. ❤️ They were lovely.

  • 5/5 Maria M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great experience for grown-ups and kids. The dolphin show and the sea lions show are really nice. You do have to wear a mask because of covid. Try to be there a bit earlier to get some good seats. The tickets can be bought online as well, but they are cheaper to buy on the spot. And after you buy them you can explore the microrezervation, which has some zebras, emu, birds, rabbits, deers.

    (Translated by Google) A pleasant place where you can spend a few hours enjoying the animals and stars of the universe either alone or with friends or family. Dolphins are great, so are the animals in the mini-delta, and the stories about the fascinating constellations. (Original) Un loc plăcut în care poți petrece câteva ore bucurdu-te de animale și stele universului fie singur, fie cu prietenii sau familia. Delfinii sunt grozavi, animalele din mini-delta la fel, iar poveștile despre constelații fascinante.🐬🐬✨🌌💫🦓🦆🐓🦩🐦🦅🦜 În viitor voi incerca și exploatarea stelelor de la observatorul astronomic.

  • 5/5 Mircea D. 2 years ago on Google
    The Reservation is small and with low diversity, but that's why it's called MICRO Reservation. The Dolphin Dome tickets however include access also to this place. I totally recommend the ONLINE ticket reservation, it greatly decreases waiting time and takes the parking stress off of you. The dolphin show totally worths the money.

  • 5/5 Gheorghe T. 2 years ago on Google
    For 37 years i.m not see this wonderful place,it's place for all age's people, good jobs guys, we'll done!!!

  • 4/5 Tincu Stefan L. 2 years ago on Google
    All is nice, attractive, educative for kids but quite old ... Apart from small kids playgrounds and some reparations that are underway there is nothing new. Same old park , not in a bad sense but they should innovate and evolve more in their offer. Would I recommend this place? Definitely.

  • 4/5 Andreea V. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice, the kids liked it. The animal reservation could be better maintained. The dolphin show is great.

  • 5/5 Richard U. 1 year ago on Google
    Remarkable show with 6 dolphins performing. Trainers and animals seemed to be really enjoying themselves as did the crowds.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey C. 2 years ago on Google
    Show last about 20 minutes but for price it is worth it and make sure you get tickets before 12 winter time. The trainers and dolphins are amazing if your in Constanta with kids make sure to stop by and see them

  • 5/5 Hrituleac B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit you get to find out loads of facts about delphine way of life it's a nice show suitable to kids as it's not too long about 30 min friendly atmosphere then you can visit a small zoo mainly deer's birds and horse's . There are small shops with food and all sorts of toys also you can have your picture taken and made as a fridge 🧲.

  • 5/5 Lukáš �. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome dolphin's performance and their human friends 👍 quiete too hot inside but really worth of visit. The rest of the "zoo" or the background of pool would deserve some additional funds to look a bit better.

  • 5/5 Natália P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was awesome, short dolphin show was cute and the nature preserve with places for the kids to play, lots of animals, it was a fantastic trip!

  • 5/5 Eliza B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) At the dolphinarium, the program started, and in the hall the distance measures were strictly observed. The show was very beautiful and designed not to last longer than children can withstand. The micro-reservation is a very pleasant surprise, with enough animals and diverse enough to bring a lot of joy on the already enthusiastic background prepared by dolphins. (Original) La delfinariu programul a inceput la fix, iar in sala au fost respectate cu strictete masurile de distantare. Spectacolul a fost foarte frumos si gandit sa nu dureze mai mult decat pot rezista atenti copiii. Microrezervatia e o surpriza deosebit de placuta, cu suficiente animale si suficient de diverse cat sa aduca bucurie multa pe fondul deja entuziasmat pregatit de delfini.

  • 4/5 Mafer v. 3 years ago on Google
    Central place, entrance is 13 lei and it is for dolphins and small zoo, the zoo part is kind of old and dirty. The dolphins show last 30 min it was really nice, all public wearing mask and keeping social distance. Parking spots are really hard to find. Better search some streets after and walk.

  • 5/5 Belz C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful nature and the show of dolphins are so amazing. I do enjoy it. To see all this attraction u need to pay 30 lei

    Thr show with the dolphins is spectacular. Worth to see it. Ine bad thing is that you have to wait a lon time in line

  • 5/5 Florin P. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing performance of the dolphins and the sea lions. Must see both! Also see the natural reservation (basically a zoo), which is included in the ticket for either the sea lions or the dolphins. The planetarium is a bit meh cause the projections look pretty blurry but still you should see it at least once.

  • 3/5 Alin B. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    It is great that you can buy tickets online now, and this is why I give 3 stars. On the other hand I also bought parking online for 40 ron, but even though the parking was only for online buyers, with a 20 ron bribe to the security guy everyone could get in. Because of this there were no parking spaces left and I had to park on the side of the road. Pic of the bribe-able guy, to say HI, when you go there. Show is very nice.
