Ascension St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion (Indianapolis, Indiana)

USA / Indiana / Indianapolis / Indianapolis, Indiana
 dolphinarium, 1980s construction

It’s 30 feet in diameter, 12 feet high and completely submerged. What is it? It's the Dolphin Adventure Dome, which is something truly unique – the world’s first fully submerged underwater dolphin viewing experience. When visitors are standing in the Dome, their feet are actually 17 feet underwater!

The Dome floor stands 10 feet above the bottom of the 27-foot deep main dolphin performance pool. Then the Dome itself is 12 feet high, meaning that it's roof is five feet under the surface of the pool. From this one-of-a-kind perspective, both dolphins and humans have a whole new way of looking at each other.
