Dubai Aquarium with Various Animal Encounter and Access Options

Absolutely wonderful experience, would definitely do this again 100%

What an amazing & incredible experience being up close with the penguins. Our Guide Heleen had the most unbelievable control over her “Babies” and they were well behaved throughout our visit. Was a pleasure to meet NAZ (the penguin) at the “MEET & GREET Area were we were able to have a few pictures taken. We were able to stroke them, watch them play ball and observe them as they were guided by Heleen to their amazing pool/tank to which she had them perform more entertainment.. Their environment was pretty much as what you would expect in the Arctic so, we were provided with coats to wear to keep us warm. Heleen then took us on a guided tour throughout the Aquarium to see the amazing collections of different species of fish and she was very knowledgeable on their history and backgrounds. I would highly recommend when you visit Dubai, make this a definite “To Do” on your itinerary.

A must do in Dubai

A must do when you're in Dubai especially with children. The aquarium is impressive - the best I've been.

Visit to Dubai aquarium

Nothing remarkable about the aquarium. Perhaps enjoyable by kids and those who have never been to an aquarium.

Otterly amazing

The aquarium itself is good,staff were very friendly and helpful. The transfer of viator confirmation to ticket voucher was not easy and took WhatsApp to get corrected. The most amazing experience was shaking hands with the otters…which is an extra package…chance of a lifetime!

Awonderful experience

For penguin lovers it is a unique opportunity to get close and personal with these adorable creatures. The trainers were informative and the photographers took excellent pictures. The picture package is pricey but leaves you with a great souvenir. Bring your own hat and gloves. It is cold in there.

SCAM ALERT

The standard ticket itself is fine it’s a cool little zoo and aquarium inside the mall. However the Penguin Encounter is the biggest scam I’ve ever experienced in my life. You’re forced to lock your cell phone and camera away to go into an experience you already paid for. The experience is overall nice, the penguins are cute and you take a ton a pictures with them. It’s all fun 10/10 experience till they tell you if you want to pictures it will be 60$ a photo or a usb with all the pictures for about $400. Which to any sane mind is ridiculous.

Do not put yourself through it

The allow WAY too many people in at once. We went on a Tuesday early evening and it was PACKED. We didn’t even get to see the Penguins as it was so busy we had to leave. Would not recommend.

Pingouins are a must-have !

Pingouins are amazing ! The aquarium is useless as we see enough from the mall but the zoo is nice, notably the crocodiles. This is not a “ticket” so you still have to make the queue but there were not a lot of people.

Emozionante e divertente

Il momento più bello è stato quando sono uscito da una porticina 3 puntini e sono scivolati giù da un mini-svivolo
