Dubai Dolphinarium is the Middle East's first fully air-conditioned dolphinarium, set inside Dubai Creek Park across 5,000 square meters. The main event is a 45-minute Dolphin and Seal Show, staged in a 180-degree amphitheater around a saltwater pool about 5.5 meters deep.

Inside, bottlenose dolphins and fur seals perform a run of tricks together, from swimming and flipping to painting, dancing, and passing through hoops, while a guide narrates what is happening in the pool. The 180-degree arena-style seating wraps around the water, so there is a clear view of the animals from most seats in the house. Because the show sits indoors, it runs the same way regardless of what the weather is doing outside, and the pace keeps things moving without a lot of downtime between segments. The mix of trained behavior and narration makes it suited to both young children and adults watching together.

You can add a Majestic Swim or Meet and Greet session, or upgrade to the Exotic Bird Show, for more time with the animals; our team handles the booking and can help you fit these add-ons around your visit.

Pair this experience with a trip to Dubai Aquarium and Penguin Encounter and the fascinating Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.<

Lovely interactions with dolphins

5/5

We had the opportunity to interact with the cute dolphins at Dubai Dolphinarium and click lots of photographs as souvenirs. It is one of the best places to watch the Dolphin and seal show.

Best dolphinarium in Dubai

5/5

The Dubai Dolphinarium is fully air-conditioned that makes it ideal to visit any time of the year. One of the good reasons to visit this facility is the Dolphin and Seal show.
