A Wonderful Family Experience in Abu Dhabi We had a wonderful time visiting the Butterfly Garden and The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi. Both attractions were beautifully maintained and offered a great experience for families and children. The Butterfly Garden was peaceful and fascinating, with beautiful butterflies flying around freely. It was a lovely place to relax, take photos, and enjoy nature up close. The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi was equally impressive, with a wide variety of marine life and beautifully designed displays. The exhibits were informative, exciting, and enjoyable for both children and adults. Overall, it was a memorable experience and definitely worth visiting. I would highly recommend Butterfly Garden and The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and family-friendly attraction in Abu Dhabi.

To be completely honest I wasn't really expecting too much, but the last day of my daughters 3 week visit and the chance to hide for a while from the summer heat inside the aquarium game across and a good idea. Were give directions by reception staff on arrival and started our tour. It was fantastic worth every dirham of the entrance fee. An amazing variety of not only fist but snakes, lizards, birds, otters to name a few it was breathtaking. Very relaxing walking at our own pace and really soaking in the environment. Then the visit to the area where they look after turtles that have been caught in fishing next or fishing line and then released back to the wild. These people do a great job and it well worth a visit I'm sure you will not be disappointed

We really enjoyed our experience at the National Aquarium! 🐠💙 Even my 1-year-old absolutely loved it! She was fascinated by the jellyfish changing colors under the lights, and she especially enjoyed the huge glass aquarium with so many stingrays and turtles swimming around. And we were amazed in the glass aquarium with so many sharks!! My adult friends loved the experience just as much, which really shows that it’s a place for everyone, regardless of age. Such a fun and memorable experience for the whole family. Definitely worth visiting!

It was my best journey during the ast couple of years. I enjoy the place, the vibes and the animals. The most beautiful place was the forest when I saw the Tucans, the chameleon, the beavers, the ray fish, the ibis, the turtles and all the other free animals moving in the place. It is not only enjoyable for kids, but it was enjoyable for adults, couples and groups. Appreciated for the great place and the worthy journey.

Explore the sunken wrecks of the Red Sea, where corals and tropical fish have made their homes, and see lobsters and sea sponges in the Atlantic Caves.

It was a very beautiful and joyful moment for me. I think, this is a very beautiful place in Abu Dhabi. I felt like I was lost in the world of fish under the sea. Thanks to the Abu Dhabi National Aquarium team for giving tourists such a beautiful place to visit.
