Time of dayMorning, Afternoon, Evening
ConfirmationWe confirm availability before you pay

Set inside leafy Creek Park in the heart of old Dubai, the Dubai Dolphinarium is one of the city’s longest-running family attractions. The centrepiece is the Dolphin & Seal Show, where bottlenose dolphins and seals perform alongside their trainers in an indoor arena, so the visit stays comfortable even on the warmest days.

Shows are currently scheduled several times a day, usually late morning, mid-afternoon and early evening, and the main shows run every day except Tuesday. Between performances, guests can catch the Creek Park Exotic Bird Show, wander through the Mirror Maze, or stop for coffee and a snack at the on-site café.

Closer encounters

For guests who want more than a seat in the stands, the dolphinarium offers in-pool experiences. The Meet & Greet interaction lets children from five years old touch and meet a dolphin in the indoor pool, while the Majestic Swim with Dolphins is open to guests from eight years old. A guided Dolphin Educational Tour explains how the animals are cared for behind the scenes. These add-ons have limited daily slots, so it pays to request them early.

The dolphinarium suits families with young children, school groups and anyone looking for a relaxed half-day outing that can easily be combined with a stroll through Creek Park or a visit to nearby Dubai Creek. Send us your preferred date and session, and we will confirm availability and the final price on WhatsApp before any payment.
