Look who's back and making a splash! We're thrilled to share that our seven bottlenose dolphins have safely made their journey home to Brookfield Zoo following the completion of an extensive $10 million renovation to their Seven Seas habitat.

Dolphins in Action presentations are scheduled to resume on Friday, March 22, and guests will be able to see the animals from the Underwater Viewing Gallery beginning Monday, March 25. When the Seven Seas building reopens to the public in late March, you can expect to see:

New additions to the dolphins' habitat, including rockwork structures, sand pits for enrichment, builtin bubbler systems, and more!

Upgrades for scientific research, including underwater microphones and overhead camera to study the dolphins

Building upgrades, including a new roof, skylights, energy efficient lighting, a new heating and cooling system, and improved accessibility

And a fresh look in the stadium designed to depict the natural environment of Sarasota Bay, Florida.

For the next month and a half, the Seven Seas building will remain closed to guests while the dolphins—Lucky, 50; Tapeko, 42; Allie, 36; Kai, 29; Spree, 21; Noelani, 20; and Allison, 18— become reacclimated to their environment. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!
