The ‘Moscow Dolphinarium’ travelling aquatic circus is coming to Mongolia. For first time, Mongolians will be able to witness dolphins leaping out of a pool and knocking a ball through a basketball net. A total of three dolphins and one seal will arrive in Mongolia later this week. The aquatic circus will be open on 12th of October at National Amusement Park. Tickets will cost MNT 10-30 thousand.
Travelling dolphinariums are banned across much of the world but remain popular in the ex-Soviet bloc where forms of circus entertainment prohibited in the West, such as acts with wild animals like lions and bears, continue to thrive despite concerns about animal welfare.
