The aquarium is really not worth the money BUT if you are going to visit it with the underwater zoo its fun. The price is a bit too much but there are a lot of different fish species/ turtles/ crocodiles / nightlife animals and some parrots that you can see flying around and otters ππ₯°You spend 40min-1hr there but for kids they might enjoy it more than adults.
It was truly amazing. It is interesting that it is just a part of a huge mall. Even if you dont intend to spend your money on the whole experience, it is still interesting to just stand around and look a ciuple of minutes from outside. The tube on the buttom is cool, and the mini-zoo above it was a nice little addition. It is a good hour or two break during shopping.
What a great experience! I have to admit about going initially thinking it would be small and waste of money, but I will pleasantly surprised. It had so many animals and unlike land zoos you can get right up close to them and actually see them in action. The zoo is spacious and even though busy you dont feel rushed. Plenty of space for the pram and the kid to run around safely. My only word of advice is book online before you come, its almost a 50% discount to the counter price.
What a marvel, once you enter there its mesmerizing.During your visit to Dubai Mall, both Burj Khalifa and Dubai aquarium can be seen along with the Dubai Mall visit.The unique sea creatures are out of this world. We came across a specific fish I dont know the name but posting a video, which was reacting to our actions, it was dancing and smiling when we talked to that fish, amazing life time experience.We did our local tours with North Tours in Dubai itself and that was also very good, supportive and extremely economical with high class comfort and service and good toyota and nissan high end cars.We were lucky our whole trip expense excluding personal purchases was round 1.25 lakhs inr for 3 people all inclusive and this Dubai Aquarium visit was around 10k inr for 3 people.We went in June, Ramzaan period unknowingly, still they supported in the best way and guided us considering the common rules to be followed i.e. no food and water from 6 to 6pm or else 500 dirhams fine.If you are short of days in your Dubai tour, do Burj Khalifa and then Desert Safari and then Dubai mall and aquarium rest you can skip.
Moneywise, I suggest to book or buy your tickets online as some of the third party companies are offering way much cheaper πBeen here with my family during the holidays so expect the crowd to be such crazy as expected.Firstly, the place was so cool. I was amazed at how they built this aquarium inside a Mall.Canβt imagine how they manage to fill this tank with tons of breathable water for marine animals.Secondly, I was so fascinated by how the rays are playing inside. Theyβre so cute! You can see their tiny face somehow smiling while flapping their wings across the entire aquarium.Finally, if youβre into sharks, there are some species that Ive noticed, unfortunately, I canβt name them for you, sorry βοΈπOn the other hand, I felt sorry for all the living creatures inside this huge cage. Staring the sharks, for example, felt that they were sick with where they are now.Hope not to take further sea creatures for the sake of placing them in a place where they donβt belong.Ps. This is just my belief πβ€οΈβοΈ
The aquarium alone has nothing much to be seen under the tunnel than what we see outside. The view from outside which is free is far beautiful. The aquarium in Sharjah for 25AED is worth than the one in Dubai. The ad ons like penguin crocodile is the only benefit if u take the ticket for 100dhs. Its and additional cost of 20dhs from Normal charge which is too expensive.
Fam of five.. And we loved it...I never knew in all my years that Ive lived here that there was a whole another galaxy to this place...The tickets we had were complimentary and therefore we only got to see the inside of the aquarium and the underwater zoo..I would have love to have an immersive experience but it was rather expensive.I wouldnt blame it probably costs a lot for the way theyve maintained it.Its clean, and my niece had a blast.Hats off to the people that labour day and night that make it beautiful for us to see and might I add... Even the smell was betterπ
First off, for all the people saying this is amazing and all that, I guess they have never been to a real aquarium. Itβs a total waste of money. Yes it is very cool the fact that they have such a big tank with huge sharks in it inside a mall, but it is definitely overpriced and not worth it. While walking, The big tank can be seen and pictures can be taken without paying. Thereβs a big variety of animals in this βaquariumβ, and if you want to see what the hype itβs about then sure. People just base they reviews and the coolness and amazing fact of where this place itβs located at.
It is a wonderful experience though quite expensive. You pay 180 dirhams (50 dollars) for package one which limits you to the Aquarium, Aquarium 2nd level( boat ride) and the Underwater Zoo. The full package is 360 dirhams and you will have access to the behind the scenes/penguin side plus one other place. Trust me though, you would want to have this experience!
Dubai Aquarium and underwater zoo is located within the Dubai Mall. These two are probably two of the shortest tours in Dubai for me. The aquarium has different types of sea fishes and a beautiful place to take some pictures even though its a very short tour. However its kind of an anticlimax at the end as you kinda expect more and then the fun ends π .The zoo also has different see creatures with displays showing their origin or their nature. Another short one but quite interesting
Advise: do not buy tickets at the front, buy online itβs almost 50% price difference. Anyhow, It is wonderful place where you can have fun and see and learn new things about sea life , I love it soooo much also see a very big big big alligator is wonderful , many animals there I am sure the old and young will fall in love with that place.It never gets boring, the staff are well trained, knowledgeable and friendly and they will answer any question. The exhibits are well cared for and well displayed and this place is educational as well as a wonderland for kids. Behind the scenes in the fish hospital and breeding tanks is very interesting and the whole thing culminates with the tunnel walk underneath the giant sharks Fascinating and enjoyable every time.
Worth your time, especially if you have kids between 4 to 10 years old or even younger, I enjoyed my time there, we went early at around 11:59 AM and it was okay, took my time watching everything and there was no rush.
One one of the worlds largest suspended aquariums offers fascinating insight into the worlds most mysterious marine life.Surely kids will enjoy this place.
Best Aquariam I have ever visited, I also tried scuba diving for the first time at Dubai Aquarium. Omg it was the greatest experience. Amazing staff and instructors.
I loved seeing the Aquarium. I enjoyed the view from outside more than inside. The underwater zoo was definitely worth it. I recommend it.
Just took my Wife and 2 year old Son to Dubai Aquarium They Enjoyed it and Loved it
Amazing experience visiting this Dubai aquarium and underwater. Zoo.Worth it!!. Exploring the creatures underwater and the zoo is splendid and eye capturing! Appreciable work of the staff who maintain such an amazing place!Must visit place to add in your Dubai explore list.
Most wonderful place for kids and adults but everything expensive be aware bring with you the atm card
Although you can see many species of fish, the overall picture is very sad. Aquariums are very small, especially for sharks and sea cats, which swim in circles, desperately. Many fish die very quickly due to the very small space. In addition, algae and corals in most aquariums are made of plastic, accentuating the conditions in which marine animals are captive! Im attaching some suggestive pictures with small aquariums, plastic algae and dying fishes!
Service is okay π. Itβs too cramped inside especially if you go on Holidays. Tickets are a bit expensive as well as the photo souvenirs and other souvenirs from the shop.
Simply Amazing, I bought Dubai Aquarium combo with Burj Khalifa ( Cost AED 230). Try to buy from their official website At the Top . Underwater tunnels and zoo was awesome. Not to forget the Dubai Night creatures in the zoo.

Take advantage of the many discounts (online, emaar credit card, specials etc) if you can as its a little pricey but absolutely worth the visit.We did the ultimate experience which included a tour above the tanks on a glass bottomed boat, and a behind the scenes walk through some of the facilities... Very interesting and the kids loved it.Definitely worth a visit
Million gallons of sea water and thousand of marine life species, truly Amazing and beautiful, this place is will blow yout mind away, from the clear glass tunnel where you see the big sea creatures passing by and there on another floor you can visit the aquarium where you can see various species of sea creatures and you can also take a glass boat ride, which will give you a different experience of viewing the marine life..
This place is worth visiting, itβs one of the worlds largest aquariums, you get to see a lot of under water creatures.. I really loved visiting
Amazing place to visit with your family, enormous aquarium with thousands of species. You can ride on surface of the aquarium with glass boat .Under water zoo have crocodiles,penguins and many rare fishes.also you can find desert creatures like snakes,lizards...etc. I must say this place was a wonderful experience.
Once in a lifetime experience ,, to visit world largest aquarium in Dubai .... 33000 aquatic animals from over 200 species.. mesmerizing .... U enter in different world ... Must visit place in Dubai....
We were super impressed by the size and quality of the experience from the exterior. The idea of walking through the tunnel and seeing the zoo was appealing, judging from what we could see.We were immediately shocked by the price for the full experience, but felt the quality of care it takes to keep the aquarium to a high standard made it understandable.However, on arriving in the tunnel we were immediately disappointed by the optical distortion of glass, which made the experience less immersive. The reflection of shops signage in the glass also ruined the view inside the tunnel. The massive tank, was 10 times more impressive from the outside.Moving upstairs to the zoo, we were even more disappointed. The boat ride was silly, we were distracted by shuffling feet and with all the light reflecting off the roof it felt like a waist of time, and a rather joyless experience.The zoo was even more uninspired, tiny tanks with way to many fish crammed in close felt really sad, one could feel the lack of interest around you as people wandered past quickly, paying little attention to the variety.Iβve given the aquarium 3 stars because I feel itβs important for childrenβs imagination to be captured by these incredible animals in the main tank, especially the endangered ones, but the zoo feels cramped, joyless and leaves one feeling a little depressed.Thereβs lots to like from the outside, not that much once youβre in. Support the aquarium if you can, but they could do better.Sometimes less is more.
Amazing amazing experience. From staff to the fishes, I mean everything is such an amazing. A must must visit place for family and friends.
Amazing experience with lots to see. Definitely worth it.
Its really good experience, I recommend for everyone especially families with kids its enjoyable place.
β’Just wowβ’Must visit placeβ’Located on the ground floor of Dubai Mallβ’I love the underwater zoo a lotβ’One can see never-seen-before creatures and learn a lot of facts too.β’An hour is good enough to visit this place
Underwater zoo is worth it...pls dont try just aquarium...its I feel not worth...my kids really enjoyed underwater zoo..they have very rare species
If you are in Dubai and havent visited this place, you will surely regret it. Must visit family entertainment place. Well maintained, clean and friendly staff.
Wonderful place for families especially children. Could not go for the penguin encounters or another animal encounters as they are really expensive but other than that WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. The beauty to see these fishes, sharks, turtles, tortoises etc. Very well maintained. Overall great experience.
The Dubai Mall (Arabic: Ψ―Ψ¨Ω Ω ΩΩβ Dubai Mall) is a shopping mall in Dubai. It is the largest mall in the world by total land area, and the 26th-largest shopping mall in the world by gross leasable area, tying with West Edmonton Mall and Fashion Island (Thailand)βboth of which are older than it. It has a total retail floor area of 502,000 square metres (5,400,000 sq ft). Located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, it is part of the 20-billion-dollar Downtown complex (called Downtown Dubai), and includes over 1,200 shops. In 2011, it was the most visited building on the planet, attracting over 54 million visitors each year. Access to the mall is provided via Doha Street, rebuilt as a double-decker road in April 2009.
If you fancy a diversion from all of the shopping you can call into the aquarium. Plenty to see.
Nice place for children & informative. Tour will take around 1 hour. We booked our tickets online. Its around AED 73/tickets.
An amazing evening with the family. Both entertaining and educational for the kidsπ―
The place is beautiful but not great, it is not allowed to enter the phone and every picture costs 200 dhs which is very expensive, the organization team is poor
Its one of the largest suspended aquariums in the world. With the capacity to hold 10 million litres of water, It has a diverse collections of marine animals worldwide.
The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo was designed by Peddle Thorp and is managed by Emaar Entertainment. The aquarium, located in The Dubai Mall, showcases more than 300 species of marine animals, including sharks and rays.Managed by Emaar Entertainment, it was awarded with the βCertificate of Excellenceβ and won the βImages Most Admired Retailer of the Year β Leisure & Entertainmentβ at Images RetailME Awards 2012.
If you are visiting to Dubai. Must visit to Dubai mall to see the biggest aquarium. Where you can dive with the fishes, sharks, octopus and many more...
Huge aquarium with walk through tunnel. All kinds of species. The zoo was very clean to walk through and the night display was very neat
A great place for a visit for both adults and children. Vast number of aquatic and marine species. You will need an average of 2 hours to see the whole place. The Penguin cove is amazing! The underwater tunnel with sharks and other fish all around you is a thrilling experience. The basic package is AED 299 per person if you buy from the counter. However, it is advised to check other trusted online websites for a better deal. I paid 149 Dirhams per person. In that I also got food voucher of 10 Dirhams per ticket and 20 Dirhams per ticket for any purchase made at their retail store.
Overpriced. The entry tunnel is the exiting place to walk and take pictures. There are variety of sea animals in the underwater zoo, but the price is too much. Only fantasy is seeing the big sharks and other see creatures inside a busy mall. Nothing much.
The aquarium is huge and pretty cool to look at, but after you enter and walk through the tunnel, thats it. Younger kids would absolutely love it. Luckily you also get the Underwater Zoo on the second floor included with the ticket. That was fun to walk around and take photos.Search for deals before you buy. Dont go to their site and buy tickets. There are plenty of places online that you can get tickets at less than 50% of their sites price.
It was really a fun and interesting experience. Especially considering it was in a mall. It was like a zoo inside of the mall.
It is a place that look like normal aquarium, in fact it is not that big, however in reality you can have many different experiences with many different aquatic and terrestrial species. It is very nice to spend 3h inside... they have the biggest crocodile I ever saw, 750 kg!!! (Small spoiler π)
The tunnel is so beautiful you ll see the shark swimming on top also u can dive with sharks you Can go to the zoo inside where they have parrots and snakes crocs scorpions and all kind of fish
Lots of sea creature inside aside from the huge aquarium which has sharks, sting rays etc.My family enjoyed it.
It is truly amazing what and how they built the aquarium and underwater zoo... The species of fish and animals is quite large and for the kids it was an amazing adventure... Just great
Great experience . we had booked it online ,it worked out cheaper so make sure you guys do the same. its in Dubai mall so more or less a day trip so u can shop around , have ur food and then go in :) had a great day and defo recommend to all
Omg! I was literally blown away, it was an awesome experience and yeah make sure you go with a photo buddy or at least someone who can take you really cool pictures. For someone who really loves anything aqua, I mean it felt peaceful and more like home. You should go try it out too.
You will not believe how short the walk was. It was literally one minute long experience. So save yourself some money and buy the tickets for the underwater zoo upstairs instead.
Nice Aquarium and βzooβ. Small tour with a boat, where one can see the fishes from differents perspectives. There is too little to see for the high price ticket and one has to pay extra to see penguins....
The Dubai Aquarium and underwater zoo was quite exciting. The aquarium is located in the Dubai Mall and is really majestic. Lots of exotic marine species and quite convenient to explore. We spent a great deal of time here. The place is huge and definitely worth a visit. Check out thr deals that are on offer before you visit.
We came here to celebrate our daughters first birthday. It was a nice outing and we got some awesome photos clicked at the aquarium. It is amazing how a thriving aquarium and zoo are operating in a mall.
Its a beautiful aquarium located in Dubai Mall, with different species of fish and animals, including crocodiles, where you can dive with sharks, but its not exceptional, wow, how you would expect it to be in Dubai!
The zoo is a good glimpse into the underground water world and even the nightlife in the uae. The aquarium bosts a number of species and is mesmerising to look at.
Very nice place to visit and so much interesting marine life to show , highly recommended especially to families with kids
Pretty Impressive from the outside...theres lots of fish to see...it is in the dubai mall...you can get there by the metro and get off at the dubai/burj kahlifa station (red line)...you will walk a lot but it is worth it....it cost around 300 aed for the full tour (but you need to pay extra to get close to the penguins)...youll to go through the tunnel, then get an indoor boat tour on top of the fishes...pretty impressive...and then after the boat tour and then the zoo...it was a pretty cool experience worth seeing...
Had a wonderful time with huge sea creatures , well maintained and got great new experiences
Nice place to visit with kids we loved it when went with our daughter
Amazing place to visit in Dubai. Truely a family destination. There is all reason to get excited for people of all ages. Very neatly maintained. Creative display of aquarium fishes. Liked it
Wow wow wow please visitJust a suggestion please book it online to save ur moneyKing Croc was superSimply had fun
Very interesting experience to be very close to all the fishes and other animals that dubai has....I enjoyed the adventure.
Dont buy tickets at the counter, instead buy online, they are cheaper there! Also at first it feels like they are not worth it! But, after discovering the 2nd level of the aquarium(it has 2 levels, one on each floor inside the mall), it feels much convincingly worth the ticket price!
Awesome experience, very hands-on. Had a tour guide and was able to feed the fish. As well as learn about their caretaking of the animals.
Nice diversity of wildlife. Very well curated, but can get really crowded with lots of kids and noise.
Great experience with its construction to consume. Oh What a beauty. No words can express the thanks to its founders. Gives real exposure of underwaterits a Zoo ,, No its a world of Wonders & beauty of Marine World. World of Marine life get more exposure & its a chance to enjoy & Study
If you love to do some fun activities under water or like/love to watch fishes and water animals this place is awesome for that.Without paying we can see the outside of the Aquarium and it is so cool for your eyes.If you want a good experience you can pay and visit it costs about AED 150, not sure if it worth.Check for some group on offers where you may get a better discounts..
A 10 million litres water giant aquarium that contains around 33000 aquatic animals. Just watch for free or pay for amazing inside zoo that comes by 48 meter long glass tunnel, paying more.. and you can even do scuba diving inside the aquarium.
Visiting the aquarium that is visible for every one who walks through the mall is already great. But it becomes even a lot better when you explore the second part of this zoo on the second floor of the mall. Absolutely marvellous, more than worth the entrance price!
This is a wonderful place, I loved visiting there, You will have chance to see amazing underwater world
This is so amazing. A must visit place. Although you can see a glimpse of it from outside. But itβs not enough once youβre inside itβs a whole lot of experience. Witnessing so much underwater animals is amazing. Sharks are huge and lot more in number. Canβt believed I touched baby shark. Even the birds are unique. Feels like there are almost all major species over there. More specifically witnessed penguins which are so rare and due to underwater glass they can be seen swimming. You should visit. Heaven on earth. Bucket list this place.Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is one of the most captivating attractions in Dubai. Located at The Dubai Mall, the largest mall in the world, offering a memorable journey into ocean life. With capacity to hold 10 million litres of water, Dubai Aquarium is one of the largest indoor aquariums in the world and it illuminates the marvels of the ocean floor, showcasing one of the most diverse collections of aquatic life. Located just above the aquarium, Underwater Zoo brings visitors up close with penguins, piranhas, crabs, water rats, sea horses, jellyfish and plenty more. A fascinating new addition at Underwater Zoo is King Croc, regarded as natures rare phenomenon and one of the worlds largest reptiles - at over 5 meters long and weighing an imposing 750 kg plus. Underwater Zoo regularly hosts innovative exhibits. One such exhibit, UAEs Night Creatures presents the experience of nightfall in the desert as creatures of the dark.
Excellent take your Kids here is a nice place @unnik_colombian_emeralds @ivandario.pachon
More enjoyable for kids. But for afult one time view
A cool place to check out of you are in the area. From what I heard about this place i was expecting much more than what I saw. But its still nice to go check it out specifically if you got little kids im sure they will love the place.
Nice aquarium with an awesome tunnel at the beginning. Located inside of Dubai Mall
This is the best Aquarium I have ever been too! It tops the ones in Las Vegas, Cape Town and the UK. They are all treated so well too. Contains Alligators, loads of Sharks, lots of Rays and Penguins! Well worth the money!
Very interesting! The underwater zoo is amazing as well as the other animals.
Amazing show , unique experience I really enjoyed it ,Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is open 365 days a year. You can get your tickets at the counter, or you can skip the ticket line and reserve your entry time by buying your tickets online in advance. The prices are fair and reasonable for an exceptional experience.
Amazing view of Aquatic animals. Kids will for sure love it.You can buy the tickets online which are a bit lower than the actual.For the tickets purchased online, Penguin show is not included. Need to buy additional ticket
Great experience but not as expected after being in Hongkong Ocean Park
The underwater aquarium is quite small and not worth much but the level two is worth most of the price, though not exceptional.
