Pattaya Dolphinarium
Rob's take
"Well run, spotlessly clean and children love it — but it is a performing-dolphin show, so if captive marine mammals sit badly with you, this isn't your afternoon. If you do go, book online, take the middle rows rather than the splash seats unless you want a soaking, and note that child tickets go by height at 120cm, not age. Closed Wednesdays."
Pattaya Dolphinarium is a family attraction in Pattaya, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.7★ on Google. Open 10:00 AM–6:00 PM daily except Wednesday.
Pattaya Dolphinarium is an indoor marine venue hosting live dolphin and seal shows, where trainers guide the animals through jumps, ball-and-ring tricks and playful routines. Seating is tiered into zones, from splash-range front rows (raincoats provided) to raised panoramic seats further back. A clean, family-friendly attraction, with an optional paid swim-with-dolphins experience for those wanting closer interaction.
