Nürnberg Zoo - Dolphinarium

The main bassin in the Dolphinarium. You can only see the dolphins here when they have their daily shows. Not very big, but they are getting a whole new exhibit in a few years.

Now that Dolphin Lagoon has opened (2011) is the old Dolphinarium still in use? Winter quarters?

Indeed, now the 4 dolfins are in here and the sealions have the pools outdoors for themselfes. In summer all exhibits will be connected and free to use for the animals.

not entirely right,...in winter, there's a tent (looking like the first dolphinarium of Duisburg,...) covering the two outdoor pools near the old dolphinarium. Visitor's can't see one of the indoor pools (the round attached one) . At the time of my visit, the main pool of the old indoor enclosure was home to the two male Tursiops which were kept in the second dolphin tanks outside the accessible grounds of the park.dolphin lagoon - winter tent
