Amazing experience at the Dubai Dolphinarium! The Dolphin & Seal Show was so much fun – the animals were incredible and full of energy. The Mirror Maze was a nice little bonus, and the free popcorn made it even better. Definitely worth a visit!

Dubai Dolphinarium timings

Weekdays vs. weekends: Visit Monday to Friday smaller crowds, easier parking at Creek Park, and better seating—especially for morning shows. Weekends get busy after 2pm, so book early and arrive 30 minutes before the show.

Peak season vs. low season: From November to March (peak season), the Dolphinarium sees more visitors due to the pleasant weather. It’s still a great time to visit, but booking in advance is recommended. During the hotter months from April to October (low season), crowds are smaller, and since it’s indoors and air-conditioned, it’s a great spot to escape the heat.
