Dubai Dolphinarium- An Unforgettable Experience

It was Eid and all shops, establishments and government offices were close. Our travel agent had already booked our tickets for the Dolphinarium, so we had no problem though it was heavy rush for Eid. It is one of the most memorable, extraordinary and exciting show I have ever seen. If you are in Dubai you MUST NOT MISS it. The Dolphins and Seals Live Show is one of the main attractions at Dubai Dolphinarium. Here you can witness dolphins and seals perform their tricks and entertain you.
As 4seals and 4dolphins show their skills, you will remain spell bound. While the seal, Fila uses microphone and sing; the dolphins Felka, Masha, Seniya and Teutra are no less. The seals balance a ball with their nose and tail and if my chance, the ball falls into the water, the dolphins pick and give the ball to the trainer. Fila and her friends also dance and roll in the floor. MEHR was shouting with joy as they were performing their antics. In fact the audiences were so thrilled that they were shouting with joy and clapping and encouraging them. After the seals finish their tricks, they exit and the dolphins start their antics. They play with rings, basketball, and jump and touch a ball which is held high, jumps through rings,sings and dance to music, and throw ball into the water. Seniya is the highest jumper; jumping 3-4times at one go. Felka is a painter and her painting is also sold among the audience. While the trainer goes high up the ladder, two dolphins jump high to his level. It’s really unbelievable that they can jump so high. And as they jump, they splash water with so much force that people sitting in the first two rows get all wet. But there were no complains; they all just enjoyed. After the jump, the trainer holds the tail of one of them and moves around the pool. The best part was their play with the audience. While we throw balls to them, they throw it back to us.
There was lucky draw for the audiences. You have to buy balls and all would throw it together at the pool. The first three balls which the dolphins pick it up are the winners. The show ended with the famous belly dance of the desert people as the three dolphins danced together.
You can also have your personal photographs will be taken with the dolphins and seals by our their professional photographers, as a wonderful memory for your experience by paying some extra money.

The following you need to remember about the Dubai Dolphinarium:
• Dubai Dolphinarium established May 2008 as part of Dubai Marine World at Dubai Creek Park (originally planned to opened December 2007)
• No shows on Sundays.
• Facilities include a gift shop, photo studio, Happy Valley Restaurant (but you can't eat with the dolphins, only swim with them).
• There is another dolphin display at the Atlantis Dubai hotel on Jumeirah Palm, where swimming with the dolphins is also possible.
• Dolphin and seal show tickets cost AED 100 for Adults and AED 50 for children. Ticket bookings can be made online at the Dubai Dolphinarium website.
• Swim-with-the-dolphin enquiries also through the website.
• Location is Gate 1 of Dubai Creek Park.

 It was an ungorettable experience and I srongly suggest , if you are in Dubai do not miss this show.
