Great activity for the entire family
If you have kids, I’d definitely recommend getting Dubai Mall Aquarium Tickets. You’re in the mall anyway, so you can go do some fun shopping for yourself. Then, when your kids get bored, take them to the aquarium and underwater zoo. That way, everyone has fun! My little ones loved the tunnel in particular. They stood there with their mouths open looking up for a full minute, which is a record for them. The interactive exhibits were also cool, especially the penguins. I recommend it!
Lots of interactive elements to the aquarium
Very pleased we got the Dubai Aquarium Tickets. You can tell they put a lot of work into making the aquarium. You can feed the fish and there’s a glass boat drive also. There’s even a shark-diving experience, but no one in my party was brave enough to do that. We were amazed just walking through the tunnel haha. The coral reefs are beautiful, and it is very cool to see so much colorful marine life. Plus I like that you’re surrounded by the animals. Makes you feel like you’re in the ocean.

Dubai’s Aquarium is the world’s largest suspended aquarium! The massive tank hosts over 10 million litres of water, and is home to over 140 species. This includes over 300 types of sharks and rays, including tiger sharks, eagle rays, and more. In fact, the zoo is home to animals from three ecosystems: rainforests, rocky shores and a living ocean. The rainforests host piranhas, giant catfish, otters, and water rats. At the rocky shores, you'll see amphibians, crabs, and similar. The living ocean has beautiful coral reefs, among other deep-sea creatures. There’s also several interactive exhibits. For example, a glass-bottom boat ride.
WALK THROUGH THE UNDERWATER TUNNEL
To really feel like you’re at the bottom of the ocean, stroll through the Aquarium Tunnel. This 48-metre-long tunnel is 11 metres below the ground! While walking, sea creatures dart overhead and around you in an immersive experience. You’ll see coral reefs, rays, and all kinds of colorful fish. You might even be lucky enough to see a feeding session on the way. Skilled divers enter the tunnel and bring food to sharks and rays. That way, you’ll catch glimpses of their feeding behaviors.
GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH PENGUINS AT PENGUIN COVE
For a truly interactive experience, visit Penguin Cove! The exhibit is home to a colony of 16 Gentoo Penguins, and you’ll come face-to-face with them. Playful, friendly, and a little unstable on land, they’ll be thrilled to see you! Make sure you spot Rain - the most adventurous penguin, always looking for new adventures. You’ll recognize her by her distinctive pink blush just under her wings. As you meet the penguins, our guides will teach you about their habitat and behaviors. For example, although the penguins waddle on ground, in the water they’re very agile, reaching speeds of 36 km/h!
