Nice place to visit, way cheaper than the one in Dubai. It is not that big and it is very nice. The kids loved the place. My daughter was fascinated with the Capibara she saw live and my son was enthusiastic for touching a real snake. We could even let our bags at the entrance so was nice because we had the flight that same day and had 4 of them

Wonderful refreshing experience at the butterfly garden. Colorful wings, peaceful paths, and hundreds of butterflies flying freely made it a magical visit for everyone today there. My favorite part were butterflies resting on my arm, hand or head

I booked “The Butterfly Gardens + National Aquarium Abu Dhabi” on Headout, and it was super easy. The website is simple to use, and I got my tickets instantly on WhatsApp and email. Plus, this deal saved me some money! The Butterfly Gardens were absolutely beautiful. They have two zones: one from the Philippines with all its butterflies, and another from Costa Rica with even more amazing butterflies. There were also adorable animals, including two sloths (one male and one female with a baby), which made the visit extra special. The specialist Dennis explained their diet during feeding time, which was really interesting. So many butterflies everywhere, and the garden is very well-kept. It’s a perfect place for photos, to relax, meditate, and just enjoy the beauty around. The National Aquarium was amazing too! So much marine life and fun exhibits. I was impressed by the huge fishes from the Amazon, as well as the frogs and snakes. Walking through the tunnel with the bull sharks was thrilling, and the Bu Thina Dow (glass-bottom boat ride) was nice. They even have jellyfish 😍 The staff at both places were really nice and helpful. Overall, everything was smooth, and visiting both spots was super easy. Totally worth it!
