Adventures In Dubai Day 36: Dolphinarium And Dubai Creek Park Visit

Max booked tickets for the Dolphinarium and brought us there because his colleagues say it is very nice. But leh, on the way, Max and Ace got into a fight and both had black face in the car.. one is upset that the other one never listen to him and dun appreciate him and ignore him and just always never hear wat he says.. the other one is upset that the other talked to him loudly which to him is equivilent of "scolding" him... so I got them to shake hands and be friends again before we walked inside... cos "We should play happily than unhappily," I told them...


We picked up our tickets and since w were already inside the Dubai Creek Park.. we walked around the park before our programme started.. we saw alot of amusement park activities in the park...

And it was really beautiful.. it was just like east coast park.. and even had the smell of BBQ in the air.. the only difference was tat the weather was cool and lovely!:)

That is the golf course tat Max goes to...

We saw so many seagulls around and they were all "drifting" in the air according to the wind.. and they were flying off in all directions but never langar one lor..





And they flew around us at very near distances.. sometimes as near as only 20cm away... and they are not afraid at all.. Unfortunately, when I was trying to take a pic of them flying around Max, they were flying another direction...

We also saw alot of people on those family bikes in the parks.. maybe we can bring this into singapore. i think it is great and good for pple who dunno how to cycle.....



We went back to watch the show and saw some mascots taking photos with children and so Ace went to take photo too...

These are the three diff types of position tat pple take photos with the dolphins.. I found out later that diff positions cost diff amounts of money.... Guess which position is the most expensive?

We were in quite a good seat.. right in the middle, next to the VIP seats and and just behind SPLASH ZONE:)
Show kicked off to a beautiful start...




Time for the seals to perform...


Can you balance a ball on your nose? Or can you even move the hula hoop around your neck?:P




The seals singing....










And here come the dolphins!:)

Look, Ma! No hands!




And the dolphin can paint too!:)

Beautiful!

I never knew tat dolphins can swim so fast.. at the opening, we saw dolphins jumping all over the place and thought there were 12 dolphins or wat..actually, there are only FOUR! And then even when a 70kg man rode on the dolphin.. the dolphin still swam so fast across the pool!

Lucky draw time.. buy a ball and throw inside and you might get picked to win a special price...



And then it was the end of the show.. kinda short for the amt tat we paid... It was almost the same price as our Dessert Safari leh.. I think my next visit I will definitely skip this part.. even though it was pretty enjoyable too...

Ace wanted to rent a bike to ride... So we let him.. while me and Max walked along behind him...

Mr Haolian after riding very quickly on the bike.. he got more confident and decide to ride on WITHOUT HANDS!

Max geh kiang.. trying to ride like Ace but hurt his knee in the end cos the bike was just too small for him... sigh... Maybe we should see if we can find this in Dragon Mart and ship one back to singapore for our personal use.. FUN!

The night view.. there is a cable car ride and we contemplated taking it but we were not awre where it is going towards and decided to give it a miss...

Max helping Ace up a hill.. hahahaha.. Ace was cucling halfway and then he got afraid that he would fall.. so he STOPPED cycling.. which was exactly the reason why he did go backwards.. hahaha.. so max helped him along a little...


THen we went to return the bike and Ace said he wanted to go play in the playground.. he went there and played for a little while and the children there all suddenly went home (as they belonged to the same one family.. most arabic pple have 3-4 children one....I think I look strange with only ONE kid...) he wanted to play hide and seek with me and after I went to toilet, I played hide and seek with him for a little while and then he was happy to go and have dinner..,

We decided to go back to Sino Chai to tried the dishes tat Xiaolan Jie intro to us the other time...




Ace's special dish created by daddy...

Time to go home.. we told Ace he can sleep in the boot when he complained he is sleepy...

He moved to the front of the car all by himself.. hahahaha.. we went to Lamcy and walked around again.. i was amazed at how and why the adidas manneqins all have got man boobs.. isnt tat suppose to be not cool??:P

Then policeman Ace playing police again.. which is new STOP AND GO sign.. very useful for him cos if he wants us to stop playing with the computer and talk or play with him.. he brings the sign over and says, "Daddy.. can you STOP... STOP doing work at the computer..." hahahahaha... maybe tat is why he insisted on buying it.. hahaahhahaha

Ace gifted the spiderman to his daddy so tat daddy can remember him by.. Initially max wanted to stick it in the car but the suction cups werent working well and so spidey was given a special space on the TV CONSOLE CUM STOOL tat AC donated to Max...

Then Ace said he wanted to write a police report. And I helped him with the spelling while he wrote a report of how two cars got into an accident.. hahahahaha...
