About Pattaya Dolphinarium Tickets

Located in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi Province, just 15 km from Central Pattaya on Sukhumvit Road, the Pattaya Dolphinarium is Thailand's only attraction of its kind - an internationally standard marine performance centre and member of the global dolphinarium community.

The Show: Three times every day (except Wednesday), Black Sea bottlenose dolphins and South American fur seals take the stage for a spectacular 50-minute performance. Meet the stars: dolphins Tomi, Antey, Barcelona, Raduga and Phil, alongside seals Lilo and Stitch. Under the guidance of highly trained European-standard coaches, these incredible animals perform synchronised jumps, acrobatic manoeuvres, ball balancing, hoop tricks and hilarious audience-interaction moments. The show draws visitors of all ages - from young children experiencing dolphins for the first time to returning fans who come back year after year.

Seating Options: Choose from Regular, Deluxe or VIP (1st row) seating. VIP and front-row guests should be prepared to get wet — the dolphins love to splash! Free rain ponchos are provided. For a great view without the spray, centre Deluxe seats are the sweet spot.

Swim with Dolphins (optional add-on): For those who want to go beyond watching, the Swim with Dolphins experience offers a 10-minute private session in the dolphin pool. Hold onto the dolphins' dorsal and pectoral fins, dance with them, listen to their whistles and  if you're lucky receive a kiss on the cheek from one of the resident dolphins. This experience is a separate, paid add-on available for guests aged 6 and above (children aged 5–6 may participate with a parent escort, at an additional fee). The swimming session happens at 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM daily.

After the Show: Once the show wraps up, guests can purchase a post-show photo session with the dolphins or seals (approximately THB 500 per group, taken on your own phone/camera).
