Dubai Dolphinarium

Today we went to the Dubai Dolphinarium. Lisa was honestly a bit skeptical about the quality of the show and the condition of the animals. These reservations were quickly shattered as we entered the facility. While it's certainly not the size of SeaWorld (just wait...someday it will be...we are sure!) yet, it was a fabulous arena for the three dolphins that perform and the four seals. The dolphin trainers obviously know what they are doing because the show was simply amazing! It was 45 minutes of jumping, dancing, singing, leaping, and ball-throwing/catching dolphins and seals. If you live in Dubai, this is a must see show for animal lovers! We had terrific seats (front row) and even were splashed by the dolphins a couple of times. At one point, one of the dolphins actually painted a picture and it was then auctioned off to the audience for a price much higher than we wanted to pay!! All four of us pretty much smiled and laughed throughout the entire show and just loved it. Fabulous.
