Side Aqualand Dolphinland Aquapark

My family really enjoyed the dolphinland show. The cost was very reasonable for the quality of the performance, which included three parts: sea lions and two types of dolphins. Overall, we had a great time. The online ticket system worked well and was reliable. I would suggest having the photo session only after the show ends. Adding fans to the area would help, as it was quite hot in the summer. They also need more parking spaces.

My 5-year-old loves everything related to the sea, especially whales, so we visited this aqua park because it has a beluga whale. The website information was misleading—it says the park opens earlier than it actually does. Luckily, we found other ways to pass the time until it opened. Dolphinland definitely needs some upgrades and better organization, but overall it was worth the visit. We got seats in the splash zone and enjoyed the show, which included sea lions, dolphins, and finally the beluga whale. You can also take a photo with a dolphin for an extra charge. The picture turned out well, though they try to sell extras afterward. Overall, it’s a fun experience. Just go prepared with drinks and comfortable clothes.

To make the most of the visit, I decided to go on a weekday, Tuesday. However, the place was very crowded. When I asked about it, I was told that Tuesdays and Fridays are when they accept guests from tour operators. I can understand that, but regular visitors should be informed in advance so they know what to expect. Because of the crowds, I wasn’t able to enjoy the facilities as much as I hoped. I waited around half an hour just to use one water slide. Also, at the towers with several slides, everyone had to line up in the same queue, even though some slides were empty. This seemed like poor organization and an inefficient way of handling things. That said, the park itself is nice and could be even better if these issues were addressed. If you want to enjoy it more, I’d recommend visiting on a day when tour operator groups aren’t there. Another highlight worth mentioning is the mall connected to the aqualand, which is definitely worth a look.

We arrived at 10 a.m. when it opened, expecting it to get busy based on reviews, but it never became crowded, even though we stayed for over four hours. The park is spacious and can easily accommodate more people. We really enjoyed it it was perfect for a hot summer day, with plenty of rides for all ages. We were told in advance that if we used a credit card to load money onto their card, it wouldn’t be refundable. I wouldn’t call that a scam, since you can load any amount and add more if needed. Overall, we had a great time, and I would certainly recommend this place.
