Nighttime Dolphin Performance: Blue Echo
• Location: Stadium, 3rd floor of the North Building
• Uniquely different from the afternoon performance, experience a magical nighttime dolphin performance from the romantically lit stands.
Orca Training
• Location: Stadium, 3rd floor of the North Building
As part of the training, orcas demonstrate powerful jumps and come up to the shallows of the pool. Experience the impressive orca—the king of the ocean—from close range.
Tornado of Sardines
• Location: Large Kuroshio Tank, 2nd floor of the South Building
A tornado of sardines whoosh around with silver scales glimmering as the ever-moving school whirls around the tank.
Romantic Aquarium
• Location: "Marine Life Around Japan" exhibit, 2nd floor of the South Building–"Tropical Marine Life" exhibit, 1st & 2nd floor of the South Building
After 5:00 pm, the South Building's lights are dimmed as low as they'll go, creating a blue world which plays with the contrast between light and shadow. Come enjoy the romantic Night Aquarium!
