Lived up to the hype for us. We moved slower than the map suggests. Budget a half day, not a quick hour. Organisation at check-in was clearer than some other attractions we did this week. Pricing of extras (photos, food) is extra if you want it. Left happy.

Highly recommended if you have it on the fence. We did Dubai Dolphinarium in Dubai. Good for families. Shade and indoor bits make it doable even when it is hot outside. It felt busy and that takes the edge off photos. Left happy.
Good overall, with a couple of niggles. We did Dubai Dolphinarium in Dubai. The underwater / close-up sections were the highlight. Kids stayed glued to the glass. It felt busy and that takes the edge off photos. Go early and it plays better.
Glad we did not skip it. Animals were active enough that it did not feel like empty enclosures, which is what I worry about. Not a cheap ticket, but it is a full attraction, not a small exhibit. We would book it again with visitors.
