I had an amazing experience at the National Aquarium of Abu Dhabi! The tour was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was clear he was passionate about the exhibits, which made the whole experience more memorable. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful place for anyone looking to explore marine life and learn something new. A truly unforgettable experience! I was visited 2 times there.

I think this place is a very fun place, especially if you like fish, animal, or nature. Besides the fish and other animals that lives in the water, they also have frogs, birds, snakes, otter, duck, insects, penguin, and many more. My favourite spot is where they have the birds fly freely in one of the room, it's magical and feels like we're actually in the real nature. -June 2025

An unforgettable experience at The National Aquarium! From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a breathtaking variety of marine life—from colorful tropical fish to majestic sharks and playful rays. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, with clear educational information, making it perfect for both kids and adults. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and share interesting facts about the animals. The facility is spotlessly clean and well-organized, with smooth crowd flow even during busy hours.

Amazing experience for all the family. One of the best attractions in Abudhabi where you can relax and enjoy your time. huge number of creatures . Amazing colors and decorations . And the best part it’s not only a commercial aquarium. It’s a hospital to heal these animals and to keep them safe. They are doing a big effort to rescue sea turtles and other rare species. Really amazing experience. Recommend. Thanks to Rukshani in the animal encounter she was so kind and helpful.

The National Aquarium in Abu Dhabi is such an impressive place to visit. The variety of fish and marine life is amazing, and everything is displayed in such a neat and well-organized way. I really liked how the pathways are clearly marked, making it easy to follow along without missing anything. Each section has its own creative theme and setting, which makes the whole experience more exciting and immersive. I also love that they offer a boat ride, it’s such a unique addition to view the sharks from above rather than from behind a glass wall. Unfortunately, it wasn’t operating when I visited later in the evening, but it’s definitely something I look forward to trying on my next visit. Overall, a really well thought out and enjoyable experience for families, friends, or anyone who loves exploring the underwater world.
