Dubai Dolphinarium Tickets

1 hour

Easy

Live dolphin, seal and exotic bird shows in an air-conditioned indoor arena at Creek Park, with optional in-water swim and meet-and-greet sessions.

Dubai Dolphinarium is an indoor, fully air-conditioned venue inside Creek Park in Umm Hurair, built around live dolphin and bird shows and a set of close-encounter experiences with its resident bottlenose dolphins and seals.

The Dolphin & Seal Show is the headline: 45 minutes of acrobatics, ball games and high jumps, with a good deal of comedy from the seals. It runs in a covered arena, so it goes ahead whatever the weather is doing outside, and VIP seating is available if you want to be closer to the water. The Exotic Bird Show is a separate 30-minute programme of free-flying parrots and macaws working the auditorium overhead.

For anyone who wants to get closer, the venue runs in-water experiences with the dolphins. The Majestic Swim is a guided session in the pool; the Meet & Greet keeps you at the poolside edge for a shorter, drier introduction. Both can be booked as a shared session or privately for up to three guests.

Creek Park is a short drive from Bur Dubai and Dubai Creek, and the dolphinarium sits just inside Gate 1. A shared or private hotel transfer can be added at booking if you would rather not drive.
