Dubai Aquarium reviews

It was a Very nice experience... we got to see a lot of animals and learn a lot as well. Nice staff as well, Ramanu and Victor were very helpful. It's a good adventure for children and adults. It wasn't a long queue too. I highly recommend

My family and I really had the best time ever at the aquarium. The experiences (water boat and feeding the fish) included in the Ultimate Pass were amazing. All the employees were the nicest ever! Thank you so much to Terence, Thomas, Richard and Edwand into making us laugh, being sympathetic and paying close attention to us. You guys are amazing!

The amazing aquarium houses a wide variety of fascinating marine creatures. It's a wonderful place to visit with your family, and children will find it particularly engaging.

For exploring the aqua life I recommend to visit The lost Chamber in the Atlantis. But this is also a good experience situated in the Dubai mall. Glass boat ride is not worthy.

Good fun visiting specially if you’re bringing family along. Nice 30 mins to get immersed literally. Great experience but very pricey. Highly recommend if you are willing to shell out some bucks. Not great value for money.
