We made a last‑minute decision to visit the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi, and it turned out to be such a great choice. To skip the long queue, we bought our tickets online through Abu Dhabi Tickets/Headout β€” and to my surprise, they offered discounts! The tickets were much cheaper than buying them at the counter, which was a huge saving for a family of six. The National Aquarium is a fantastic place for both kids and kids at heart. Aside from the impressive variety of sea creatures, they also have a capybara (which my daughter loves), birds, and reptiles in their mini Forest section. There is also an interactive activities that is very entertaining. Our kids had the best time exploring everything. It was truly a memorable day for all of us.

    My girlfriend and I also visited the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and the experience was just as memorable in a completely different way. One of the first things we appreciated was the convenience of the location. All the museums are situated almost along a single line, forming a true cultural hub. This thoughtful urban layout makes it easy to move from one museum to another and encourages visitors to explore more in one day. From the very first seconds, I was impressed by the work of the staff. Everything was clearly explained to us, and the security procedures were handled at the highest level while remaining comfortable and welcoming. We were even offered a ride from one museum to another in golf carts- small details like this make a big difference and truly encourage you to return again and again. The exhibition itself begins with the creation of the Earth and its greatest treasures - the living beings that have inhabited it throughout different eras. For me, this was something very special. I felt as if I had returned to childhood, when I used to read encyclopedias describing the various geological eras of our planet. That sense of curiosity and wonder came back instantly. The exhibition is incredibly vivid and large-scale, filled with an impressive number of props and detailed models. The reconstructions of extinct animals - dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, and many others - are remarkably realistic, making it feel as though you are walking through another time. At moments, the atmosphere even reminded me of the animated film Ice Age, bringing a sense of familiarity, imagination, and fun into the scientific narrative. The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi is not only educational, but also emotional and immersive - a place that reconnects you with curiosity, childhood wonder, and a deeper appreciation of life on Earth.

    Entry was smooth and we were soon immersed in the wonderful world of fish.The exhibits at the Abu Dhabi Aquarium were fantastic. Not only could we learn about the different types of fish and their names, but the displays were also elaborate, depicting the underwater world in accordance with a theme.I was particularly impressed by the large aquarium, where I could see lively hammerhead sharks and rays from under the tunnel and from the side.
