Frequently Asked Questions
Before you book your tickets
How much is the ticket for Dubai Dolphinarium?
Regular tickets typically cost around AED 70 - 75 for adults and AED 40 - 50 for children (ages 2-11). VIP tickets offering center-stage seating start from AED 100+. Prices are generally cheaper when booked online compared to the gate.
Is the Creek Park entry fee included?
No. The Dolphinarium is located inside Creek Park. You must pay a separate park entry fee of AED 5 per person using a Nol Card (public transport card) at the park gate.
What are the show timings?
The Dolphin & Seal Show typically runs daily (except Tuesdays) at 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. The Exotic Bird Show runs at 12:15 PM, 3:15 PM, and 7:15 PM. Always check the live schedule as it can change during Ramadan or holidays.
Is Dubai Dolphinarium better than Dubai Aquarium?
They are very different. The Dolphinarium focuses on live performance shows (acrobatics, dancing) and is very interactive for kids. The Dubai Aquarium (in Dubai Mall) is a walk-through viewing experience of marine life. For entertainment, choose Dolphinarium; for observation, choose the Aquarium.
Can I swim with the dolphins?
Yes, there are 'Dolphin Planet' experiences available. You can choose a Shallow Water interaction (standing) or a deep-water Swim (for confident swimmers). Prices generally start from AED 450+ depending on the package.
