This place is absolutely awful. The so-called "delphinium" is nothing but cruelty to animals. The dolphins are kept in an unbelievably small tank, and the poor seals are crammed into a tiny pool that is heartbreaking to look at. It’s disgraceful and should be banned.On top of the animal abuse, the show itself is boring and completely unsuitable for kids. The presenter is hard to understand, and the whole performance feels sloppy and unprofessional.To make things worse, when we left it was pouring rain, and the roof inside the hall was leaking badly. Completely unacceptable for a public venue.Save your money and don’t support this place. It’s cruel, depressing, and not worth visiting at all.

Here's a more fluid and natural version: An excellent museum! It's fascinating to trace the development of humankind—from stone tools to magnificent objects made of gold and other materials—and to learn about the history of the peoples who inhabited the territory of modern-day Bulgaria and the surrounding areas. The exhibition is well organized: the museum isn't overloaded with information or the number of artifacts; everything is presented in an optimal format, making the visit comfortable and engaging.
