dolphinariums
Marine mammal parks
Dolphinariums is the plural of dolphinarium, a facility where dolphins are kept in captivity for public display, research, or entertainment.
These aquatic parks typically feature trained dolphin shows and sometimes offer swimming encounters.
The word follows the Latin plural pattern, though dolphinariums is more common than the alternative delphinaria.
Dolphinariums have faced increasing criticism from animal welfare advocates.
