I absolutely loved Aya Universe! From the moment I stepped in, the entire experience felt truly magical. The design and ambience are stunning, making it feel like stepping into a completely different world. The Celestial Room was definitely the highlight of my visit—we played, laughed, and felt like kids again, completely immersed in the interactive lights and visuals. Every corner offered something new to explore, and the attention to detail was remarkable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and full of joy. Aya Universe is the perfect place for a fun day out with friends or family, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

I really enjoyed visiting the Dubai Underwater Zoo and Penguin Cove. The place is well set up and has so many cool animals to see, like sharks, rays, crocodiles, and lots of colorful fish. Walking through the glass tunnel was awesome and made the experience feel extra exciting. Penguin Cove was my favorite part. The penguins were super cute and fun to watch, especially when they were swimming around and playing. The area looked clean and well cared for, and the staff shared some interesting facts too. Overall, it’s a fun place to visit and definitely worth checking out if you’re in Dubai, especially if you like animals or are visiting with family. The best part is my daughter enjoyed it, and that's what matters.

    🐠 Aquarium at Dubai Mall We visited the aquarium at Dubai Mall, and I want to share my honest impression. To be honest, my expectations were higher. Yes, the aquarium is beautiful and modern, certainly better than the Ailand Oceanarium in Kazakhstan, but personally, I didn't get any strong wow effect. I thought it would be larger in scale and more saturated in terms of exhibits. We bought a Silver Pass, and it's important to understand that this does not give you full access. With this ticket, you can only see the basic part of the aquarium. You cannot go downstairs, there is no full route through the tunnels, and additional activities such as close contact with sea creatures or diving are not available. Because of this, it feels like you are not seeing everything, but only part of the exhibition. Overall, the aquarium is worth visiting at least once, especially if you are in the Dubai Mall for the first time, but if you want to get the most out of it, it is better to get the extended ticket right away. ⸻ 🦁 Dubai Safari Park Dubai Safari Park, on the contrary, exceeded expectations. It is a really large, well-designed, and very interesting park. The territory is huge, everything is logically organized, it is convenient to move around, there are recreation areas, shade, and many food outlets. There are many animals, the conditions of their keeping look decent, there is no feeling of crampedness or chaos. The park is ideal for family visits and walks with children. I would like to note a huge plus for Muslims — this is perhaps one of the most comfortable places: • there are prayer rooms throughout the park, • everything is clean, tidy, and well-maintained, • there is a sense of respect for visitors and their needs. As a result, Safari Park left a much more vivid and pleasant impression than the aquarium. This is a place that I would really like to recommend to others.

    It was a different type of experience. The staff explained everything very kindly, the concept of each room had something new to offer. Even the bubble room was a lot of fun. I thought it is worth visiting at least once, takes about 1.5 hours to get through all the rooms.
