Which dolphinarium in Lazarevskoye is better to visit
In Lazarevskoye there are three dolphinariums at once: «Lazarevsky", "Morskaya Zvezda" and "The Coliseum". You will probably have a question: Which one is the best and which one is worth visiting? In our opinion (the authors of the site), all three dolphinariums are almost the same at the price they ask for a visit, so you can just choose the one that is more convenient for you to visit at the time and place. Perhaps these tips will help you a little.
- How the Dolphinarium is Cheaper the Coliseum is the most inexpensive Dolphinarium to visit. But the price in it is lower, because the pool and the room here are slightly smaller, and the performance is shorter in time. But the price difference is quite small if you buy cheap tickets without a place from distributors on the streets.
- When is the weekend each of these recreational facilities has a weekly weekend for resting and recovering animals. At the Coliseum it's Monday and Thursday, at Lazarevsky it's Monday, and at Morskaya Zvezda it's Tuesday.
- Where to swim with dolphins: you can swim in the dolphin pool in all three dolphinariums. But if you need real dolphin therapy, it is better to go to the "Morskaya Zvezda" or "Lazarevsky". And in "Lazarevskoye" you can also make a dive (diving).
