Kuwait’s Scientific Center has said that 10 architects have presented bids for a multi-million dollar expansion of the facility.
The visitor attraction in Salmiya, which serves as a centre for environmental education in the gulf region, laid out plans for a new facility to include dolphins and mammals, with plans also in the works for a conference facility and exploration hall.
Scientific Center chair and CEO, Mijbil Al-Mutawa said in a statement that the expansion plans will be unique in the State, adding that the addition would strengthen Kuwait’s position as a location for world-class visitor attractions.
The new dolphinarium would offer visitors the chance to swim with the animals, while a selection of other animals would be on display. Adjoined to the dolphinarium would be an exploration hall with space for both permanent and temporary exhibits, as well as a theatre, multi-purpose halls and support facilities.
