Visitors and proponents of the 

Dubai Dolphinarium

 often point to the following aspects as the source of its appeal: 

Family-friendly entertainment: The main draw for many is the live dolphin and seal show, featuring impressive displays of trained animal tricks and acrobatics.

Intimate interactions: A key feature for many is the chance to interact with the marine mammals through “swim with dolphins” packages, which can include hugs, kisses, or a dorsal fin tow.

Educational opportunities: The dolphinarium is supported by the Dubai government partly to educate the public about marine life. Some visitors feel that the experience fosters a connection with the animals.

Accessibility and facilities: As an indoor, air-conditioned venue, it offers a comfortable activity, especially during Dubai’s hot weather. It also offers other attractions such as a mirror maze and a 5-D cinema.

Appealing to children: The show and the chance to get close to the animals are particularly engaging for children.
