Opened in 1988, and the pool is shaped like a stadium!? Just the shape of the pool already feels like the sightseeing has started 😳 Marine World Uminonakamichi sits in Fukuoka City's Higashi Ward, and its dolphin and sea lion shows take place right in that pool. Go see one for yourself 🤩
Inside, the aquarium displays a wide variety of sea life, so you can see the shows before or after the exhibits. Watching the sea life first sounds like a nice flow too 👀
Hours change by day, so plan around them. Saturdays and Sundays stay open until 21:00, while weekdays are open until 17:30, so on weekdays it's best to wrap up by late afternoon 😆 Credit cards are accepted too, so paying's easy. Check the hours, then head to the stadium pool before the show starts 🎉
Shows in the stadium pool
Dolphin and sea lion shows are held in the stadium pool, and standing in front of it makes the show's start feel even more exciting 🦭 Do you want to catch the show before the exhibits, or after?
Meeting diverse sea life
The varied sea life means time goes by fast as you move from one exhibit to the next 🐠 Check the show times, then fit the exhibits and the stadium pool around them.
Weekday and weekend hours
Weekdays run 9:30–17:30, while Saturdays and Sundays run 9:30–21:00. If you want a slower evening, a weekend fits better 🙂
