Murmansk Oceanarium
Мурманский океанариум
One of the world's northernmost oceanariums, famous for its Arctic seal shows and Murmansk's most popular family attraction.
The oceanarium sits on the shore of Lake Semyonovskoye and opened in 1991. Its stars are grey seals, ringed seals and harp seals. During the show the seals jump, “paint,” and interact with their trainers, and afterwards you can pose for photos with them. Shows run at fixed times (about 1 hour each). It is usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Tickets cost about 1,000 rubles, and it is recommended to buy in advance on the official website or on site. It is a 15-minute walk from the Alyosha Monument, so the two can be visited together.
Opening hours
Wednesday–Sunday, several shows daily; closed Mondays and Tuesdays
