Moscow Dolphinarium
Housed in the Palace of Water Sports, which was built for the 1980 Olympic games which were held in Moscow, the Moscow Dolphinarium was opened in 1994 and has rapidly become one of the city's favorite kids' days out.
The main pool in the Dolphinarium was constructed by drilling a well 1,300 meters deep down to an underground salt lake, which supplies the dolphin pool with water akin to the sea water the dolphins are used to in their natural environment.
The water show is performed by dolphins from the Black Sea, beluga whales, northern sea lions and South African fur seals. Some of the acts performed in the show are very difficult and complicated and involve the animals dancing, clapping their flippers, "walking" on water, catching rings, balancing balls on their noses and jumping through hoops. The dolphins are especially playful and friendly and require little training.
Performances
Performances are staged on Wednesday and Thursday at 4pm and 6pm, Friday at 12 noon, 4pm and 6pm, Saturday and Sunday at 12 noon, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. The Dolphinarium is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Gorky Park
Gorky Park, situated just across the Moskva River from Park Kultury Metro Station, is famed abroad for the American writer Martin Cruz Smith's novel and later film of the same name. The park was opened in 1928 as the first Park of Culture and Rest in the Soviet Union. It was created by amalgamating the extensive gardens of the old Golitsyn Hospital and the Nezkuchny Palace and covers an area of some 300 acres of land. Today the park is filled with children's play areas, fun fairs, an original Buran spacecraft now open as a "Cosmic Experience for Kids", various rides and an enormous Ferris wheel next to the river, offering some spectacular views of the city for the more daring amongst you! During the winter many of the footpaths are flooded and freeze over to allow children ice skate around the park, and in February visitors can enjoy Moscow's annual Festival of Ice Sculpture. In the summer months hydrofoils and various other small boats depart from the jetty next to the park and take visitors on cruises right through the center of the city and to most of her famous sights.
