We visited the National Aquarium to celebrate our son Gideon's 6-month milestone, and it turned out to be an unforgettable family outing!
Getting from the parking area to the correct entrance was a little confusing at first — we were initially directed to the first floor entrance, which is for the combo/all-access pass holders, while we had the regular Aquarium Journey ticket (10 aquatic zones). The staff were helpful though and quickly guided us to the right entrance.
The experience starts with a family photo op, which you can view and purchase at the end of the journey. We ended up buying ours — it's our very first proper family photo together, so it's extra special to us.
Our favorite part was definitely the tunnel! It's beautifully lit, giving a clear, immersive view of the aquatic animals swimming all around you. Gideon was fascinated — he kept making happy little squeaky sounds the whole time, clearly delighted by everything he was seeing.
Overall, the entire attraction was amazing and well worth the visit. We'll definitely be back, and we're already looking forward to trying the boat ride once Gideon is old enough for it.
A wonderful way to mark our little one's half-birthday!

Our visit to the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi was truly unforgettable! From the moment we stepped inside, we were amazed by the stunning exhibits, incredible marine life, n the magical atmosphere. Every section had something unique to discover, making the experience exciting from start to finish.
Visiting with my family made it even more special. Watching our little one light up with excitement as she pointed at the colorful fish, sharks, n rays was priceless. Those moments of pure joy are memories we'll cherish for years.
The aquarium is beautifully maintained, easy to explore, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. It's not just an attraction—it's an experience that brings families together, sparks curiosity, n leaves you with a deeper appreciation for the underwater world.
A huge thank you to the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi for creating such a wonderful place. We left with happy hearts, amazing memories, and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, educational, and truly memorable day out!

Visiting the Zayed National Museum was truly an unforgettable experience. As a first-timer, I was genuinely impressed by the museum's beautiful layout, thoughtful design, and the exceptional attention to detail in every exhibit. It offers a wonderful journey through the rich history, culture, and vision of the UAE.
We brought a guest from Thailand, and he was genuinely grateful that we included the museum in his Abu Dhabi itinerary. He thoroughly enjoyed the visit and was amazed by everything the museum had to offer.
I would definitely come back and bring more of our guests here. It's one of the best places to experience the heritage, values, and remarkable story of Abu Dhabi. Highly recommended for both residents and tourists!

A perfect, nature-friendly destination for a relaxing day out.
We truly enjoyed our time here. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very friendly, and the entire place was clean and well maintained. It’s one of the best places to bring your kids—they’ll absolutely love it! ❤️
The place is comparatively smaller than Green Planet Dubai, but considering the ticket price, it’s definitely worth visiting. Overall, it’s a great value-for-money experience for families and nature lovers.
