RTA Ferry Ride

Dubai Marina Mall
Al Ghubaib Water transport station, Dubai Creek

Take in the views of Dubai from the sea whilst enjoying the fresh air.  Better for kids who aren’t desperate to be on the move as the journey is 90 minutes – wannabe pirates will love it – learning to crawl or walk will not.  Shorter journeys also available.

Dubai Dolphinarium

Gate 1, Creek Park, Dubai
04 336 9773
Home to a number of attractions including a dolphin and seal show and exotic bird show – the real stars here are the dolphins whose 30 minute display is a big hit with young children who particularly love the interactive nature – the front rows get splashed and even has the chance to throw a ball to these amazing animals!  Acoustics are bad and it’s not always easy to understand what’s being said, but visually the show is a winner.…
