As the show progresses, the dolphins' body structures and athletic abilities are carefully and clearly explained, so you can learn a lot about dolphins just by watching the show. Before the Corona Disaster, up to five selected spectators could participate in the show, touching the dolphins on stage and giving them cues. We are waiting for the restrictions to be relaxed one day.
Lots of commentary by staff.
Staff members will provide explanations in various areas of the museum at set times. The time required is only about 10 minutes, so it is easy to participate. A schedule is available on the official website, so it is a good idea to decide in advance the order in which you will visit the museum.
