This was one of the best aquarium adventure we have been to. Getting to the place was easy with Careem but there's also the monorail that takes you there. The amount of sea creatures are mesmerising and truly stunning. The show was spectacular and the divers were amazing.

We went early. There was no need for skip the que as noone around but if there had been the 'scan your barcode' turn styles were easy to use. We walked around the corner to the butterfly house which was a lot cooler inside than expected (air conned) really enjoyed this. A lot of active butterflies to interact with and staff trying to help with one landing on you.

It was easy to book tickets. There is about half an hour if you are a little late, which is exactly what happened to us while we were looking for a place to park our car in the shopping center. Overall a nice walk with a nice view and the most important thing is that the weather is beautiful. We were lucky with the weather, it was sunny and the visibility was great.
