Amazing place for both adults and kids. My babyboy enjoyed it and was allowed to enter for free because he is 21 months old. And then we booked the dolphin encounter which was the cherry on top. Super fun and we could not resist just smiling this whole.timr we were there. Highly recommend this place to bihr residents and tourists. You cannot miss this spot. It's a must!

War zu teuer für was man gesehen hat. Das Aquarium in atlantis ist viel schöner. Würde das definitiv nicht weiter empfehlen

A walk through the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Want a perfect outing for your kids? Look no further than the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, offering a glimpse of marine creatures found across the globe. Step into the 48-meter-long aquarium tunnel where you'll be surrounded by marine species from the open ocean, with the possibility of witnessing divers feeding sharks and rays, adding an extra thrill to the adventure.

Located on level two above the aquarium tank, the underwater zoo allows you to discover the amazing range of aquatic animals through 40 different display tanks. You can explore three distinct zones: the Rocky Shore, where resilient aquatic life adapted to harsh coastal environments thrive; the Rainforest, teeming with vibrant freshwater animals such as playful otters and formidable piranhas; and the Living Ocean, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of the deep sea with creatures like Sea Dragons and Sea Jellies.

Unforgettable animal encounters

Further upgrade your ticket for a glass-bottom boat ride, perfect for families. Notice the schools of colorful fish that glide under your feet. You can even opt to visit the Penguin Cove to admire the cute Gentoo penguins. This group activity is a fun way to learn about and appreciate the marine life found at Dubai Aquarium. Complete your visit with a guided tour that educates visitors about the different marine species and their environment, feeding, and breeding habitats.
