Combo (Save 24%): Qasr Al Watan + National Aquarium Abu Dhabi Tickets

This was actually a last minute plan for us and Headout made the whole process really easy. We booked on the day and everything was handled very quickly, with our tickets coming through within around 30 minutes. From the moment we arrived the whole experience was amazing. We were greeted by security and shown where to go. Entry was really quick, our tickets were scanned at the desk and we went through security very swiftly. From there you get on a shuttle coach that takes you towards the palace and even the views on the way are amazing. When you arrive at the Presidential Palace itself, honestly no words or pictures can fully describe it. The building is an absolute masterpiece. You can hear birds and parakeets chirping outside and with the palace surrounding you it genuinely feels like you’re somewhere out of this world. Once you go inside, the sheer size of everything is immense. The ceilings, chandeliers and amount of detail throughout are incredible. There’s so much to see, from the presidential meeting rooms and dining rooms to ancient books, artwork and other artefacts. It was really interesting being able to walk through the different areas and learn more about the history and culture. Towards the end you go through the gift shop which has loads of cool gifts and souvenirs, and then you can explore the gardens outside. We also stayed for the light show at the palace which was a brilliant way to finish the visit. Afterwards you simply get the shuttle bus back to the main entrance. Overall it was a lovely experience from start to finish. Every member of staff and security we interacted with was welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. Headout made a last minute plan incredibly straightforward and we had no issues at all with our booking or tickets. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip and somewhere I’d recommend visiting if you’re in Abu Dhabi.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi and The Butterfly Gardens, and it was honestly one of the best family outings we have had in Abu Dhabi. The National Aquarium was amazing from the moment we entered. The variety of marine life, the beautifully designed sections, and the huge underwater displays made the whole experience exciting and enjoyable for both adults and children. Everything was well organized, clean, and easy to explore, and we loved how educational the experience was without ever feeling boring. It was especially wonderful watching our little one get excited about all the different animals and discovering something new around every corner. The Butterfly Gardens was another highlight of our visit. Walking through the tropical environment surrounded by beautiful butterflies was such a peaceful and magical experience. The atmosphere was relaxing, and being able to see the butterflies flying freely around us made it feel very special. The gardens were also beautifully maintained, with plenty of greenery and interesting animals to see. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The combination of the aquarium and butterfly gardens made our visit even more memorable. We highly recommend both attractions to families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable day in Abu Dhabi. We will definitely be coming back again!

Visiting the Butterfly Garden in Abu Dhabi was a magical experience! As soon as you step inside, you’re welcomed by a vibrant paradise alive with colors and fluttering wings. The lush foliage, meticulously maintained gardens, and serene ambiance create an enchanting atmosphere. One of the highlights of our visit was the interactive butterfly release program. Watching the delicate butterflies take flight felt like witnessing a moment of pure joy and freedom. It’s a captivating experience, especially for children who can learn about these fascinating creatures while participating in something so special. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share interesting facts about the various species. The indoor climate-controlled environment allows you to enjoy the beauty year-round, adding to its charm. Whether you're a nature lover, a family looking for a fun outing, or someone simply seeking tranquility, the Butterfly Garden is a must-visit. It’s a lovely reminder of the beauty of nature, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended!

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt effortless. Our Headout tickets made entry smooth and hassle-free, so we could spend our time enjoying the palace rather than dealing with queues or logistics. We visited as a family, and the first time we stepped into the Great Hall was the moment that really made the day for us. The sheer scale, intricate details and incredible Arabian architecture are difficult to appreciate fully through photographs — seeing it in person was completely different. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a beautiful building; the visit gave us a sense of the UAE's culture, heritage and vision. We also stayed for the Palace in Motion show, which was the perfect ending and made the entire experience feel even more memorable. A beautifully organised experience from Headout and a genuinely unforgettable visit to one of Abu Dhabi's most remarkable landmarks.

We had a wonderful time at the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi! 🐠🐢🦈 We really enjoyed the beautiful views and seeing so many different kinds of aquatic species. The kids were absolutely amazed and excited throughout the visit. Seeing so many animals up close, especially some they had never seen before, was a special experience for them. Their faces lit up with excitement every time they discovered something new, and they couldn’t stop talking about the animals they saw. It was lovely to see their curiosity and happiness as they explored the aquarium. Overall, it was a fun, educational, and memorable experience for the whole family. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it! ❤️

A masterpiece of grandeur, elegance, and serenity. The breathtaking architecture, intricate details, and majestic halls reflect the rich heritage and vision of the UAE. But beyond its beauty, there is a profound sense of peace here. Walking through its magnificent spaces, surrounded by light, symmetry, and silence, feels almost timeless.
