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

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.

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.

Visit the largest aquarium in the Middle East, the National Aquarium of Abu Dhabi, and see 35,000 aquatic animals and birds across 10 themed zones.

Whether you want to learn about the aquarium's turtle rehabilitation efforts or the UAE's history as a pearl-diving community, the aquarium is your go-to destination.

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.

Upgrade your ticket to include a glass bridge walk or a glass bottom boat tour, or go for the all-access pass which also includes a behind-the-scenes guided tour.

Fun fact: Nearly all the sea turtles at the aquarium are rescues. Once they are rehabilitated, they are released back into the Arabian Sea.

The visit was memorable. On the booking subject, I learnt that the discount applicable for my account was not coming by default. To make the booking experience better, I suggest applicable discounts come automatically as seen in other booking platforms. Otherwise, as a customer am losing money
