Dolphinarium "Oscar" - an incredible show and wonderful animals
Dolphinarium "Oscar" is probably known to everyone who has been to Kirillovka at least once. This institution opened in 2011. By the way, there are also dolphinariums "Oscar" in Genichesk and Truskavets. The peculiarity of the dolphinarium is that it works only in the summer season, and during the rest of the year, dolphins and other marine inhabitants have a rest. In this dolphinarium, animals are treated with special love, they really live in comfort and do not feel unhappy. By the way, seals and bottlenose dolphins now live in the dolphinarium, which were taken from the territory of the occupied Crimea. They previously lived in Yalta.
Why Dolphinarium Oscar is so special
Very often, dolphins feel uncomfortable in dolphinariums, so for the Oscar they have developed special residential complexes for sea inhabitants that are as close as possible to natural conditions and meet international standards.
Also, they take care not only of animals, but also of the audience - the spectator stands are located so that people are in the shade at any time.
Probably, this dolphinarium is so special that its owners are a whole dynasty of trainers. The father of the owner of the establishment, Andrey Kalganov, once opened the first large dolphinarium in Ukraine. True, they trained combat military dolphins and did it top secret. But he always dreamed of a dolphinarium where spectators could come. And his son made this dream a reality.
Today Andrei himself works in the dolphinarium, his children Katya and Victor, and his grandson will also soon join, because he also chose the profession of a coach.
