The dolphin show was something magical! I have seen the oceanarium also un Dubai and Portugal, all were different and amazing in their ways. I wished to see less people, I had the feeling sometimes that the air by the sharks and fishes was less,but was weekend, I can also understand. I liked the elevators, with stroller was easy to visit everything. The playground for kids can be a bit bigger.

We liked everything, I only have one suggestion and that is that with this combo you should allow the entrance 2 days one is not enough and less if you go with children.
