This review
submitted by NIELS JOHS LEGARTH IVERSEN,
October 2000
From Klaipeda old town take the short ferry trip to Smiltyné, right across the harbour.
Known as Memel during the long German settlement period, Klaipeda has long been a strong
maritime stronghold, and the aquarium has been built right into one of the circular forts
from past times. The dolphinarium occupies a specially built newer building, and a third
building is used for ticket sale and administration. Within the thick walls there are long
corridors and small claustrophobic rooms; a modest marine museum occupies some of these
rooms. While visiting the aquarium, I didn’t take care write down the names of single fish
species, but it is a quite comprehensive collection, spaced out on two floors inside a
round central building within the old fortress. It is a general aquarium collection: there
are both fish from temperate/polar regions and from the tropic waters Outside this
building you will find several kinds of seals and sea lions, plus penguins. As for the
dolphinarium, it has got 5 bootlenosed Black Sea dolphins. They make the usual series of
tricks, such as wiggling, clapping the water with their tails, jumping through rings,
playing ball and making high-pitched noises. When you have visited this place, you should
take a bus down the Neringa, the narrow Couronian Spit. It has been made a National Park
and is well worth seeing.
