Aquarium And Underwater Zoo

Recently when my sister was in town, I took her to the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo at Dubai Mall. We had such a fun time! The place is quite big. The underwater tunnel was our favourite it felt like walking through the ocean with fish and sharks swimming all around us. 🐠🦈 We also saw stingrays, penguins, and so many cool sea animals. All in all It’s a great spot for kids. So If you're in Dubai and looking for something fun and educational for kids, definitely take them here. It’s worth it.

One of the highlights was the massive ocean tank—it felt like stepping into an underwater world. Watching sharks, stingrays, etc swim right overhead in the tunnel was awe-inspiring. The jellyfish section was also mesmerizing with its glowing tanks and calming atmosphere.

We had an amazing experience at the Dubai Sea Aquarium! The first thing that catches your eye is the massive aquarium visible right from the mall — home to sharks, rays, and many other marine species. Even without a ticket, you can enjoy an impressive view from outside. Inside, one of my favorite parts was crossing the underwater tunnel to reach the inner exhibits — it felt like walking through the ocean. We also got to see penguins up close, which was a real treat! There are plenty of optional activities to enhance your visit, like diving experiences, boat rides, feeding the fish, or even meeting the penguins. Highly recommended for families, tourists, or anyone who loves marine life!

Lovely aquarium at Dubai Mall. Keeps kids busy for at least 3 hrs straight. Do book tickets in advance, especially if you are visiting on a weekend. On a weekday, you should be able to take tickets right there in 5-10 mins. Don't miss the boat ride. That's the one my son loved the most.

It is a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to Dubai. With its stunning displays and incredible marine life, it's an experience you won't want to miss. Walking through the underwater tunnel, surrounded by sharks, rays, and colorful fish. Getting up close with the penguins. Observing the majestic crocodiles.
