GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5We had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi and The Butterfly Gardens, and it was honestly one of the best family outings we have had in Abu Dhabi. The National Aquarium was amazing from the moment we entered. The variety of marine life, the beautifully designed sections, and the huge underwater displays made the whole experience exciting and enjoyable for both adults and children. Everything was well organized, clean, and easy to explore, and we loved how educational the experience was without ever feeling boring. It was especially wonderful watching our little one get excited about all the different animals and discovering something new around every corner. The Butterfly Gardens was another highlight of our visit. Walking through the tropical environment surrounded by beautiful butterflies was such a peaceful and magical experience. The atmosphere was relaxing, and being able to see the butterflies flying freely around us made it feel very special. The gardens were also beautifully maintained, with plenty of greenery and interesting animals to see. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The combination of the aquarium and butterfly gardens made our visit even more memorable. We highly recommend both attractions to families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable day in Abu Dhabi. We will definitely be coming back again!NNouman M
GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5Visiting the Butterfly Garden in Abu Dhabi was a magical experience! As soon as you step inside, you’re welcomed by a vibrant paradise alive with colors and fluttering wings. The lush foliage, meticulously maintained gardens, and serene ambiance create an enchanting atmosphere. One of the highlights of our visit was the interactive butterfly release program. Watching the delicate butterflies take flight felt like witnessing a moment of pure joy and freedom. It’s a captivating experience, especially for children who can learn about these fascinating creatures while participating in something so special. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share interesting facts about the various species. The indoor climate-controlled environment allows you to enjoy the beauty year-round, adding to its charm. Whether you're a nature lover, a family looking for a fun outing, or someone simply seeking tranquility, the Butterfly Garden is a must-visit. It’s a lovely reminder of the beauty of nature, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended!EEbenjamin R
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5We had a wonderful time at the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi! 🐠🐢🦈 We really enjoyed the beautiful views and seeing so many different kinds of aquatic species. The kids were absolutely amazed and excited throughout the visit. Seeing so many animals up close, especially some they had never seen before, was a special experience for them. Their faces lit up with excitement every time they discovered something new, and they couldn’t stop talking about the animals they saw. It was lovely to see their curiosity and happiness as they explored the aquarium. Overall, it was a fun, educational, and memorable experience for the whole family. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it! ❤️RRozel B
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5What I loved the most about the offer was how price-friendly it was. I was able to enjoy two attractions with a wallet-friendly offer. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the aquarium and its unique exhibition of marine life. Perhaps my favorite attraction were the Manatees. The Butterfly Garden was just as beautiful and enjoyable. The atmosphere was lovely, and I enjoyed its educational touches.
