Notice Regarding the Suspension of Dolphin Program Due to Ten's Pregnancy

Kyoto Aquarium's bottlenose dolphin, "Ten," is expected to give birth in early July 2026*.
To prepare the environment for Ten to give birth, the dolphin program "Dolphin School" will be suspended from Saturday, June 13, 2026.
You can still see the dolphins swimming in the dolphin stadium even when the program is suspended, but the stadium will be closed once signs of a dolphin giving birth are detected.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our visitors, and we appreciate your understanding. We would also appreciate your support as Ten prepares to give birth.
