Dubai Dolphinarium was a surprisingly fun experience. The show was well organized, energetic, and perfect for both adults and kids. The dolphins were impressive — smart, playful, and clearly well-trained. The trainers interacted confidently with them, and the tricks were synchronized and entertaining. The venue is comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is lively. A great indoor attraction, especially during hot weather. Definitely worth visiting at least once.

It was perfect! We had a timeslot in the "morning"- that was fine, because in the afternoon are much more visitors... Go skiing before and than do other things in the skihall...

The show was very well done with some additional humor to extend it. It was a little corny, but still funny and the majestic nature of the dolphins made up for it. All of the animals were exceptionally well trained.

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.
