Dubai Dolphinarium is an air conditioned indoor environment. So you can relax even on a sunny day.
Even though you have a ticket to enter dolphinarium, you need a NOL card. It should have a credit of at least AED5(for each guest) to enter Creek Park. In case, you don’t have a NOL card, you can purchase at the gate for AED25. Sometimes, the queue is very long and payment is by cash only(so bring cash).There is a NOL card top up machine at the entrance.
After entering the park, online tickets must be exchanged to physical tickets at the ticket counter inside. Strollers are not allowed into the show area and there is a stroller parking place near the counter.
The performance is staged in an indoor pool with 180- degree arena style seating with regular and VIP sections.VIP section is right in front of the show area..But view from regular section is also good. Seating is first-come, first-served basis. So it is advised to come early to get good view….weekends are more packed.
Before the show begins, they even display some interesting facts about Dolphins on the screen. The total show lasts for 45 minutes and the stars of the show are four bottle nose dolphins and a fur seal. They show their amazing skills! You can watch them sing, juggle, paint, dance, play ball and jump through hoops on command!
The seal show is good and we can watch the seal walking with its trainer, playing with ball among other acts.
I have watched other dolphin and seal shows..In my opinion, the show is good but not the best. But those watching Dolphin show for the first time will love it and kids will definitely be amazed by their performance!
