Dolphinarium Review

Nice show. Well trained Dolphins and seal. Kids will enjoy for sure.. Even the adults. If you haven't seen Dolphins show then it is a must watch event. There is a good public transportation connectivity as well. Seating arrangement is good and can accommodate 1000 odd people. On Weekdays, there will be few school kids but the seats will be available. On weekends probably all the seats will filled up (I visited on Weekday during Busy tourist season)

It was a marvelous experience seeing the dolphins can be trained do much. It was 45 minute show but good entertainment. With this you can also watch exciting burd show as well

It was a well put together show... The hosts were interactive and dolphins are well trained. Overall a great experience.

Amazing dolphins , trainers have done lot of efforts to train dolphins and seel.

It s a fantastic show put up by the dolphins and the trainers ... the entry is via a nol card - which has to b bought at the gate ( 5 aed ) and then recharged as per the number of people entering the premises which has the dolphinarium, park and children play area. It was a good experience and would recommend

I am have been to Dolphinarium a couple of times and every time it seems its my first time. The dolphins are adorable.

You have BoGo on Entertainer and Smiles app. They also offer discount on credit cards.

Worth it for 105 AED, try to use Entertainer if you're two peeps!

Amazing seal and dolphin show.
No wonder dolphins are the second smartest living thing on earth.
They were so exuberant, full of live, full of love..
You won't like to miss a moment of the show.

Recommendation - go to gate no 1 directly for the show or else you'll have to walk in the garden for a while.
Ticket cost - 125 for VIP. Mondays would be recommended as they have less price for the ticket on Monday.

While I m not a fan of animals performing in captivity, the 4 dolphins and seal pup of the Dubai Dolphinarium were a delight to watch and I genuinely wished to see more of their unique personalities. Make sure to get there early to get good seats.
However what I didn t understand was why it had to include a totally irrelevant audio visual showcase (3 huge screens, bombastic & poor audio quality) which had stock footages of dolphins, fishes, birds, and weirdly enough, some space rockets.
Aren t the live dolphins on display enough to excite the children? Do we REALLY need to show them a video about dolphins for 45 minutes while the dolphins are performing?

The show was well orchestrated. The seal show and dolphin show are done together.
When compared against the dolphin shows in Singapore or in US this one is not on par and a little bit underwhelming.
Still good one time experience for entire family

Dolphin show was superb.. dolphins were damm cute.. the trainers were superb.. there was an act.. trainer stands on the dolphin & they both swim it was superb

Must visit place in dubai. Very well maintained. Children will enjoy a lot

The place is very good and well maintained. The dolphin and seal show was top quality. All the covid-19 precautions were taken care of. The ticket price is AED 40 for kids and AED 70 for adults which is bit high compared with other dolphin shows in GCC. The Creek Park is very big and need a lot of walking. Overall the experience was amazing.

It was a great experience. The way they run the show was amazing and was more than expected. The presenter talked to about the seals life and dolphins. The presenter and the ones running the show were expertise and exited the audiences. The ticket was cheeper from online compared to agencies.

A good show of dolphins but not witness as much as we expected. They consume more time in talk and trying to sell merchandise. How everyone, A nice experience for little kids

Excellent Experience. Amazing show. Very entertaining. Thumbs up for maintaining hygiene. It was my daughters 6th birthday today, so told one of the lady working there to announce her name. They actually announced her name n it made her day.

Worth place to visit in Dubai. One of the attractions and must visiting point. The show of Dolphin and the Seals are amazing. It s very good entertainment for kids. The trainers are well experienced. Travelling on the dolphin is superb. They have magic shows too which is extraordinary. Its crowded on the weekend and prefer to go weekdays.

Awesome experience.. No words to explain the wonder treat got from dolphinarium. We are requesting everybody to visit once..

Its a nice place to visit for kids and young adults before the pandemic...but not sure if they are operational now.

Amazing,only dolphins and seal show in Dubai , dolphins were superbly trained and entertaining, ticket prices needs to have more offer so more often people can visit. Being at the creek park is also an advantage to visit after the show we enjoy at park with family.

Nice experience and worth the price, not very rewatchable though.

It is a very thrilling and exciting experience. They start off with the seal show and then the dolphin show.

There is an auction for a painting done by the dolphin, it starts with AED50/- and then shoots up to AED 200/- and goes on from there.

Dolphin show is very impressing.....Worth to watch, especially kids love so much....Salute to all trainers, they have done good job and entertaining as well....People who are looking cheapest price please select Friday 11.00 AM show..

ONE OF THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE FUN WITH FAMILY. ITS LOCATED INSIDE DUBAI CREEK PARK. I REALLY ENJOYED THE TIME THAT I HAD SPEND INSIDE. THOSE DOLPHINS ARE WELL TRAINED . IT USE TO KICK THE BALL TOWARDS OUR SEATS. WE CAN TAKE PHOTOS WITH DOLPHINS BY PAYING SOME EXTRA AMOUNT. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TICKETS AVAILABLE. ONE IS VIP TICKET AND ANOTHER IS NORMAL. IN VIP TICKETS YOU CAN FACE FROM FRONT AND NORMAL TICKETS YOU CAN FACE FROM SIDES. TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE IN ONLINE AS WELL AS OFFLINE. ONE TIME WATCHABLE. GO AND WATCH ONCE IF YOU ARE IN DUBAI. THANKS. You can connect with me in Instagram @kpkodoth

There may not be any other zoo or aquarium where people are freely interacting with dolphins and seals than at Dubai Dolphinarium. An exclusive living space for the gentle, human friendly animals of the sea, dolphins and seals are protected and preserved properly at Dubai Dolphinarium and now it has received wide accolades and recognition.

Located in the creek side park at Bur Dubai, the dolphinarium is a very special spot for children as well since they find these species of water very adorable and cute. The aquarium is supported by Dubai Municipality since it came into existence in 2008. There entertainment programs and shows at regular times here so that people would love to spend much time with their families and kids. The dolphinarium was built with an aim to motivate the young generation to protect marine life and its habitat intact.

Highlights: The activities of bottlenose dolphins and seals leave everyone at pure laughter and joy and there are separate fun activities like acrobatics, singing, dancing, playing balls etc done by these charming animals. There are different pools for the dolphins and also a private habitat with sea water connected to these pools.

Here, one can spot Senya, Ksyusha, Tetka, Jerry and Fekla which are the bottlenose dolphins and four seals named Ghosha, Fila, Lusha and Max. Kids Summer Camp, Dubai Summer Surprises are some of the major events arranged here to grab the public attention on a large scale.

Location: Riyadh Street, Inside the Creek Park Gate No.1, Umm Hurair 2, Dubai. It is about 11 kms from Dubai main city via Abu Dhabi- Ghweifat International Highway or Sheikh Zayed Road.

Timings: The dolphinarium is open on all days from 10:00 to 07:30 pm except on Sundays.

Price: Different types of entry fees are there depending on your selection. To swim with dolphins costs one price while for watching the show costs different price.
Shallow water- Swimming with Dolphins: 450 AED
Deep Water- Swimming with Dolphins- 600 AED

The BEST show ever!!

Seal and dolphin show costs 70 aed per person, you can buy snacks before entering the show.

It s a lifetime experience

Very friendly staff

Good show using seals and dolphins. The facility is a bit dated, but they use good measures to ensure social distancing. If you kid likes dolphins, this is the place to go.

Definitely worth the money. It is a 45min show, you get to see dolphins and seals. Have an opportunity to get closer to them and have thrilled watching what they can do. You will be happy you chose to watch it. The VIP seating gets you the best view but all the seats are good. People sitting in 1st 3 rows close to the pool better be ready to get wet as the dolphins splash a lot of water.

Good unique show for kids and adult. Highly trained and well choreographed. Indulging audience well throughout the show. Spacious stage for easy viewing for all seats in the hall. Dolphins acts are amazing and so pleasing to watch. Seating is also comfortable. Staff is quite helpful.

A beautiful experience and lovely show
Highly recommend to visit

The dolphin and seal show was great. The bird show was strictly OK. The deep water swimming with the dolphins was unbelievable. Our dolphin was the gorgeous Bella. The trainer was patient and reassuring, especially to the little ones. An experience to cherish - do not miss !!

Must visit in Dubai if one has not seen such shows earlier. It's basically a 30min show of Dolphins and another 15min show by a seal. There are around 4-5 dolphins performing. Kids will like it a lot.

Very nice!! This was the 2nd time nad it was still awesome!!

A perfect tourist destination. As most of the Dubai places are actually. Well trained dolphins, excellent flow of the dolphin show. Didn't see the bird or the seal show. But heard they were good too. As all the other attractions in Dubai, this place too has premium seats, photos with dolphins, swim with dolphins and many other options for some extra payment.

Amazing show worth the money. You can take photos with the dolphins after the show for 126 Aed

We attended the dolphin show here in the day time and it was good. The show stoppers were a group of three dolphins, out of which one refused to perform anything in front of audience (perhaps it was too shy or under fed).. the dolphins were made to do many skills and stunts, all of which was great fun. They charge extra (about 20 dhiram) for allowing to throw a ball in the pool towards the dolphins.. I shall suggest to go for a prior booking and reserve front row seats with them as in the current booking, we could only last row. Overall it was good watch.
The dolphinarium had few more things to offer after we came out the show. My family tried 5D show, but they were a bit disappointed with that.
There was a camel ride outside which went great for my toddler. The rest rooms were near and clean and easily accessible here. It's a good place to spend a day with kids.

Great show, great staff, the show lasts for about 40 minutes with the seals and the dolphins, it's fun to watch and pretty cheap if you book it online, I got a ticket for 75 AED. Take lot of pictures

Good ambience. Nice entertainment. Families will really love. There is discounted rates on friday first show.

Excellent show for family although, some of the dolphins are still young and yet to be fully developed to display their skills!!!

We had a close shallow water experience with dolphin. It was really one of lifetime experience. Dolphin shows was good as well.

Beautiful Dolphin and Seal Show! Breath taking performance by whole crew. A show enjoyed by kids and adults alike!

Beautiful show. Kudos to trainers and sgow management.

Went on last Friday. Social distancing in place and all wearing face masks. There were around 200+ audiences strategically seated. Good job by the organisers.

Our 3 year old daughter enjoyed the show. Come early to get parking.

Enjoy!

An amazing show perfect for all animal lovers..... The dolphin show is awsum and the bird show is okay..... The tricks performed by the animals are amazing, fantastic!!! Some of the tricks are performed by d trainer and Dolphin together which leaves you Splellbound.

You can even celebrate your birthday party and get special seats (of course u have to pay n book for d party in advance). Would recommend d Dolphin show to all visitors of Dubai as it is a perfect family location and I hope all of you too have a Memorable time.

Amazing show of Seals and Dolphins
A must visit with kids for 45 minutes.
3 shows in a day only.
Apart from that here it s a big park with lot of kids activities too.

Loved the Dolphin show along with seal. The show was quite entertaining. There were three Dolphins and one seal in the show. The cost of entry was 105 AED but taking photos with Dolphins were 200 AED which I thought was quite High. The show is good entertainment for all ages.

Great place. Right inside Dubai Mall. Kids can really enjoy

Amazing place to visit. Both children and adults will enjoy this place. Watching the dolphins and seals doing tricks will bring a smile to your face!

Worth while experience for the family. Reasonably priced too.

This is the 3rd time I watched this show and it still leaves me with lots of ahhhs and wows!!! The trainers were superb and the dj was entertaining and the dolphins never fails to shine on this show!!!

Awesome place to visit. Vip seat are the best spot to enjoy the show as it right in the middle of the arena. The dolphins are very talented and very well trained. Also we can roam around the creek park. Entry fees of creek park is 5 dhrms.

Very skillful.

Kids loved it.

Found it very short (Especially the show with the dolphins).

Use the dedicated parking for the show goers.

Kids will love this place. I personally did not like it as I do not like locked up animals.

Had a great time here....dolphins and seal are real fun . Make sure to choose seat on the 4th row, either VIP or the one next to it.

It's amazing to see how humans and dolphins connect . Seeing these mammals from so near is a different feeling altogether . The acts that they perform will leave you walking out falling in love with them. A must visit place

One of the most enjoyable attractions at Dubai creek for all age groups. One hour show which includes dolphin and sea lion shows..well organized and hosted.reasonable price for tickets.Totally worthy for the price..amazingly trained dolphins.Of you want to take pictures with dolphins u have to pay extra.

Never knew dolphins can be trained so well , hats off to the trainers

Great shows... Fun and amazing dolphins... Seal show is kinda boring... Food and other stuffs are costly... But the show is value for money... Outside garden is also nice where small kids can play and adults can have some peaceful time... But photo with dolphin and allowing you to touch them is also very costly...

Visited 3rd time and always exited for next show , worth for money, great experience for kids and a perfect for family time

Excellent for the children. My children enjoyed lots. Location was good.

Definitely worth the money. It is a 45min show, you get to see dolphins and seals. Have an opportunity to get closer to them and have thrilled watching what they can do. You will be happy you chose to watch it. The VIP seating gets you the best view but all the seats are good. People sitting in 1st 3 rows close to the pool better be ready to get wet as the dolphins splash a lot of water.

Love the dolphin show. Amazing trainers and amazing adorable dolphins.

One of the best places to visit and see the trained dolphins performance. They are trained very well and the 45 min show seems that it's very short.
The seal show is about 10 min, and the performance is appreciable..
The kids and parents will enjoy the show.
Worth visiting in Dubai...

The Dolphins perform really amazing but the fact that they have been trained forcibly and in a very bad manner makes me sad :(

A great place. Show of Dolphins and Seals is great. If you visit this park, you must visit bank of canal also.

Good experience but it's a splash pool where they performed

nice experience .....when I visit there, there is one dolphin and 2 seals..... really good nice show..... dolphin and seals obey instructions order very carefully....... nice show ..amazing opportunity to to see dolphin in front of us..... if you sit very near to the pond after the show you go outside with wet dresses... . the commentator also good nice pronunciation .....his way of talking is nice ..overall only one time must watch.....

Loved the dolphin and seal show, host was amazing, great fun for the whole family

Never miss the great show if you have chance to visit.

I visited dolphin show wid my husband and 8 month son, beautiful dolphins and awasum show,we are enjoy alot

Dubai Dolphinarium is the first fully air-conditioned indoor dolphinarium in the Middle East, providing habitat to dolphins and seals, allowing the public to watch and interact with them through live shows and photo sessions. As Dolphins are mammals you can train it nicely.

Best family entertainment place. Amazing dolphins and excity Dolphin & Seals show. Must visit to enjoy not only kids but adults too.

World's biggest hawk.. as per the claim of the staff of greek park...

Did you know that dolphins are the second most intelligent animals on earth after the chimpanzees . Visit the Dubai Dolphinarium and enjoy the spectacle these beautiful creatures would present. Also, the tickets are pretty affordable and you ll enjoy a seal show as well as a bird show. Pay an extra to have an up close moment and photoshoot with the dolphins

One of the best place to visit in Dubai.
I will provide some of the pros and cons.
Pros
1. The seating capacity is high so no problem for house full and you can book it via online.
2. Well organised and guidance for seats and others are provided.
3. The information he provides about the dolphins such as how flexible it is, how they train are good.
4. Small snacks are available so you can have some while watching. Popcorn is also available.
5. If you have booked VIP seats then you will have a close look of dolphins coming near to you.
Cons
1. If you are a against animal cruelty then this place is not good for you.
2. The dolphins flap their tails in water which may sometimes spill on the first 3 rows so better go for Higher seats.
3. The floor becomes wet after the show so they clean only after everybody even though I was careful I fell down. So better they clean it then make us to leave the place.
4. Restrooms and feeding rooms are not inside the area so you need to finish of before entering and you can't easily walk out because the floor will be wet and you need to go down very carefully.
5. The man who gives the speech is a good speaker when you hear it for first time and the second time you will see that he repeats same for each and every batch like same humour and others. He has a written script.
6. Rates are too expensive for the show and for touching and kissing in hands they cost way more. They also bid the dolphin painting which goes up to 300-500 AED.

Next place within Dubai Dolphinarium is bird show and is not mentioned in the google maps.
Creek park bird show is a 15-20 mins show where they show a variety of birds and it will be a fun watching when you have kids.
Pros
1. Large variety of birds and especially some eagle kind bird will be shown which is the fastest bird in world.
2. Air conditioners are available so no problem of sweating.
3. You will be allowed chance for feeding them.
Cons
1. The steps will be a mess because they provide a small kind of pathway for the steps.
2. The seats are also only a rubber seat above the steps and many stamp it while climbing the steps.

Next place within Dubai Dolphinarium is mirror maze.
Mirror maze is fun place where many enter into a maze where mostly a mirror is around and you need to find exit.
Pros
1. Fun game for kids,adults and elderly people.
2. A different kind of experience.
Cons
1. Very small room only takes nearly 5-10 mins to complete it.
2. The lights in the maze might be irritating as the lights will blink very fast.

Me n my wife. My friend and his fiance visited this place on our fist day of Dubai trip. You can go via metro n get down at Dubai health care city stop in green line metro. From here this place is walkable distance. It's first time I went for such kind of show although it feels small place inside the dolphins show is worth. We enjoyed a lot. Specially if u go with kids they will lo e this place a lot as it has other entertainment for kids. Al in all

The show is cool. Anchor is really good at it. Show could be more creative. I enjoyed it though.
