This aquarium was not as exciting as others I have visited. I might skip it next time since it’s not very large and lacks many species. The crocodile stands out as the most remarkable animal there. Kudos to the staff for sharing interesting details during the tour.

We recently explored the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, and it was an enjoyable and captivating experience. Our tickets included access to an underwater tunnel, where we saw various sea creatures swimming near us. My daughter loved it, and it was a unique way to observe marine life closely. After that, we visited the Underwater Zoo, where we saw a wide variety of fish, penguins, and crocodiles. The zoo section is organized and has plenty of interesting displays. I also found several additional activities like the penguin encounter and glass-bottom boat ride. One downside was not knowing I needed reservations for some activities. When I tried to book the penguin encounter on the spot, I learned the next slot was two hours later. I recommend booking in advance to avoid long waits. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with lots to see and do, making it ideal for families with kids. Highly recommended!

In the heart of the desert, you can find creatures from all around the world. They offer a chance to touch a baby shark, which is an amazing experience. It's surprising how you can see beautiful penguins in this aquarium as well. Families and kids enjoy this place very much.

I had an incredible time at the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo! The aquarium's size and the variety of marine life were breathtaking. Walking through the tunnel, witnessing sharks, rays, and colorful fish was surreal. The exhibits were well-kept, and the information about species was intriguing and educational. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience. Seeing the giant crocodile up close was a highlight! However, the photo prices were quite steep, which was disappointing. More affordable options would be great. Overall, this place is fantastic, whether you're a marine life lover or just looking for a fun attraction in Dubai. Highly recommended for families, couples, and solo travelers!

This might be my favorite aquarium in the world so far. We visited early, avoiding crowds, and our toddler loved it. Definitely a must-visit place!
