The Dolphin and Seal Show at Dubai Dolphinarium is fun, lively, and perfect for families. 🐬🤹 The dolphins impress with their jumps and tricks, while the seals add comedy. A short but entertaining 45-minute show—worth it, especially for kids!

Booking was easy and when we arrived the staff were very helpful and got us ready in minutes. We didn't really know what to expect as never done this kind of thing before but me and my wife were completely thrilled with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. When we met 'Tom' the dolphin he was clearly well trained and well looked after. The experience was only 30mins long but one we will never forget. Thank you to all involved.

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.
