Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Dubai Aquarium is visually impressive and definitely worth seeing at least once. The tunnel walk is beautiful but it last about 1 minute which I didn’t know and expected more. Seeing sharks, rays, and so many different species up close is a memorable experience, especially for first-time visitors or families. As an attraction, it’s well designed and very appealing. Unfortunately, the experience was negatively affected by the staff at the ticket counter. Two women were working there, and when I asked simple questions about whether our ticket included certain activities, they reacted in a very unprofessional manner. They laughed mockingly, spoke to each other in their own language, and sarcastically repeated my question back to me several times. This behavior felt disrespectful and made the situation uncomfortable. Another downside is the price. While the aquarium is nice, it doesn’t fully justify how expensive it is. In addition, the photo service is extremely overpriced — you receive only one printed photo for €40, while the remaining photos are sent by email. This feels excessive and takes away from the overall experience. In summary, Dubai Aquarium is a great outing visually, but the poor customer service and high costs significantly reduce its value. With better staff attitude and fairer pricing, it could easily be a much better experience.

best for every age visitors, no need to buy the toy which they offer at entry point for kids to interact with screens and speakers for telling the details of species. souvenir shop is nice, must visit if you are visiting Aquaventure water park.

A very nice aquarium located in the Dubai mall. Somewhat similar to the National Aquarium in Abu Dhabi, and perhaps a little bit larger collection of sea animals. A good place to spend an hour or two for the whole family.

Dubai Aquarium is an incredible experience for all ages inside Dubai Mall. Walking through the giant underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks and rays is breathtaking. The underwater zoo on the upper floor is also amazing with many unique marine creatures and penguins. The place is very clean, well-managed, and the staff are helpful and informative. It is highly recommended to book tickets in advance to save time. A fantastic place to visit with family and friends

The Fish Point is such an amazing place. It has so many different types of fish — almost any fish you would want to see, you can find there. The environment is beautiful, cool, fresh, and relaxing. I really love the place so much.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is absolutely stunning. It’s hard to imagine how such a massive and beautiful aquarium is built right inside a mall. The scale, design, and variety of marine life are truly impressive. When you visit Dubai Mall, this place is a must-see—the architecture and overall concept feel like a masterpiece. It’s very relaxing to see fishes playing around. Small fishes and large sharks. Even the fishes are happy and well maintained. Truly a wow experience! 🐠✨

The Dubai Aquarium is absolutely outstanding and one of the most impressive attractions we have ever visited. Even from the outside, viewing the enormous aquarium through Dubai Mall is already a spectacular sight. However, once you enter, it exceeds all expectations. The scale of the aquarium, the variety of species, and the overall experience are simply breathtaking. The absolute highlights for us were the Penguin Encounter, where we had the unforgettable opportunity to interact with and gently touch the penguins, and the scuba diving experience in the main tank. Diving among sharks, rays, and thousands of fish was an experience we will never forget. What impressed us most was the opportunity to observe so many different animals from incredibly close distances. Every area offers unique encounters and amazing views, making the experience exciting from start to finish. The staff were absolutely amazing: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always happy to help. Everything was exceptionally well organized, clean, and maintained to a very high standard. The animals appeared well cared for, and the habitats are spacious and thoughtfully designed. It is clear that a great deal of effort goes into creating an outstanding experience for both the animals and the visitors. If you are visiting Dubai, this attraction is a must-see. It is beautiful from the outside, but once you step inside, it surpasses every expectation.
