I would say "marine entertainment" would be the perfect word for the rarest of the dolphin show. Since ages Dolphins have been understanding amphibian creatures. Here they obey and entertain mankind. Not only dolphins but seals also join in. What a show !!! First timers please book tickets well in advance and try to get in between first to third... More

We have lived in Dubai for 5 years and we finally made it to the Dolphinarium. The dolphins do a great show that is 45 minutes in length. This was the perfect timing for most children that will lose their attention if the show was any longer. The dolphins are well trained and perform some great tricks. It is quite... More

There are no such shows where we come from; yet, we can swim with dolphins in our lagoons. The children loved seeing the dolphins doing all their tricks and jumps.

The Dolphinarium is located inside Creek Park. Entry to the park has a small fees and there are other attractions such as the mini planetarium (real cute show for kids). There are also camel and horse rides available. We chose this due to its central location and proximity to Deira. Once you enter the creek park through gate no 1,... More

Initially went to see the show and the dolphins were great. Had pre booked as a surprise for my 11 year old son to swim with the dolphins afterwards.... It was kind of scary to begin with as I wasn't really sure what to expect and was scared in case my son didn't like it as the pool you are... More

Dubai Dolphinarium is Excellent and Value for Money as compared to Singapore Dolphinarium. A nice Magic show was preceded it was excellent and it was just infront of the people and it was thrilling one. Dolphon shows and all the activities were awesome and mind blowing. Also the Fish show was good. Should not miss if u r travelling to... More

My family and I have lived in Dubai over two years and finally paid a visit to Dubai Dophinarium. We went to the morning show and purchased our tickets in person. The queue moved well even though families began to "appear" just as one person was approaching the counter to pay. The staff were very courteous and led us to... More

The show itself is great!!! but the location and the building not so much. It is a small pool and the cafe area is a little old. Needs a makeover
