Is Dubai Dolphinarium open on Tuesday?
No. The shows run daily except Tuesdays, and the additional attractions are also closed on Tuesdays.
Do I pay Creek Park entry as well?
Yes. The show ticket does not include the AED 5 per person Creek Park entry fee, which is paid to Dubai Municipality.
From what age do children need a ticket?
From 2. Children aged 2 to 11 need a child ticket and must be with a paying adult; from 12 an adult ticket is needed.
Which metro station is nearest?
The operator names Dubai Healthcare City and Oud Metha on the Green Line.
How much does it cost to get into Dubai Dolphinarium?
Dubai Dolphinarium charges AED 5 per person, not included in show tickets, paid to Dubai Municipality at the gate or online. That is the venue’s own published figure on the verification date at the foot of this page; entry fees in Dubai change seasonally, so confirm before you travel.
Is there parking at Dubai Dolphinarium?
Free, first come first served. Parking tariffs in Dubai are set by the operator and change without notice.
What is Dubai Dolphinarium's ticket price today?
AED 5 per person, not included in show tickets, paid to Dubai Municipality at the gate or online — that is the operator’s current published figure, checked on the date shown at the foot of this page. We re-check it when the operator changes it or a reader tells us it has moved.
Where can I read reviews of Dubai Dolphinarium?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
Is Dolphinarium Dubai the same as Dubai Dolphinarium?
Yes. Dubai Dolphinarium is also written as Dolphinarium Dubai and Dubai Dolphin Show. They all refer to the same venue described on this page.
