Dolphin city is an exclusive amusement park in the ECR Road which is situated about 46 km from Chennai. It was started in late 1990s with the objective of entertaining the public with Dolphins but presently instead of Dolphins, Sea Lions only amuse the visitors.

     The Dolphin City started as a big sea water tank featuring animal feats performed by the dolphins. Four dolphins were shipped into the amusement park and the beginning was marked with a great success. But the dolphins were not able to cope with the new habitat. Within six months the dolphins died and the management started looking for alternatives. This marked the introduction of sea lions to the park, which continue to amuse the people.

     The sea lions at Dolphin City have been trained to perform a number of tricks. The most sought after event in the park is American Sea Lions' performances. Some other features of Dolphin City include Under Water View, Leisure Boating, Slide Swimming Pool, Open Air Theatre, Chuck Wagon, Disco Scooter, Tea Cup, Animal Simulator, Dragon Ride and many more. The park houses a multi cuisine restaurant and a number of eating outlets. The Notty Nutty Curios in the park complex sells various gift articles, swim suits and electronic accessories.
