I really enjoyed visiting the Dubai Underwater Zoo and Penguin Cove. The place is well set up and has so many cool animals to see, like sharks, rays, crocodiles, and lots of colorful fish. Walking through the glass tunnel was awesome and made the experience feel extra exciting. Penguin Cove was my favorite part. The penguins were super cute and fun to watch, especially when they were swimming around and playing. The area looked clean and well cared for, and the staff shared some interesting facts too. Overall, it’s a fun place to visit and definitely worth checking out if you’re in Dubai, especially if you like animals or are visiting with family. The best part is my daughter enjoyed it, and that's what matters.

Due to the visit coinciding with peak tourist season, the attraction was significantly crowded. We opted for the sunrise experience; however, it is worth noting that access is restricted to Levels 124 and 125 during these early hours. Unfortunately, the lack of an outdoor observation deck on these floors impacted the quality of the sunrise view. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the limited accessibility during this time slot is a significant factor to consider.

The 48-meter walkthrough tunnel offers an incredible 270-degree view of circling sharks and rays—it feels like walking on the ocean floor. Upstairs at the Underwater Zoo, the diversity is impressive; meeting the massive 5-meter King Croc is a bone-chilling highlight. Best for: Families, photographers, and marine life lovers. Pro Tip: Arrive early to catch the penguin feedings and avoid the mall crowds. It’s a perfect blend of education and awe-inspiring scale.
    • Journey through a 48-meter underwater tunnel surrounded by 140+ aquatic species, including 300 sharks and rays, in one of the world's largest aquariums.

    The head out experience was top notch. Payment went through smoothly and tickets were received almost instantly. The experience at the aquarium was very underwhelming. It was very crowded, other visitors unaccomodating towards our baby pram, people stopping in the middle of the walkway to make videos, nobody available for crowd control. Overall, the Dubai Aquarium seemed like a waste of money and energy.

    🐠 Aquarium at Dubai Mall We visited the aquarium at Dubai Mall, and I want to share my honest impression. To be honest, my expectations were higher. Yes, the aquarium is beautiful and modern, certainly better than the Ailand Oceanarium in Kazakhstan, but personally, I didn't get any strong wow effect. I thought it would be larger in scale and more saturated in terms of exhibits. We bought a Silver Pass, and it's important to understand that this does not give you full access. With this ticket, you can only see the basic part of the aquarium. You cannot go downstairs, there is no full route through the tunnels, and additional activities such as close contact with sea creatures or diving are not available. Because of this, it feels like you are not seeing everything, but only part of the exhibition. Overall, the aquarium is worth visiting at least once, especially if you are in the Dubai Mall for the first time, but if you want to get the most out of it, it is better to get the extended ticket right away. ⸻ 🦁 Dubai Safari Park Dubai Safari Park, on the contrary, exceeded expectations. It is a really large, well-designed, and very interesting park. The territory is huge, everything is logically organized, it is convenient to move around, there are recreation areas, shade, and many food outlets. There are many animals, the conditions of their keeping look decent, there is no feeling of crampedness or chaos. The park is ideal for family visits and walks with children. I would like to note a huge plus for Muslims — this is perhaps one of the most comfortable places: • there are prayer rooms throughout the park, • everything is clean, tidy, and well-maintained, • there is a sense of respect for visitors and their needs. As a result, Safari Park left a much more vivid and pleasant impression than the aquarium. This is a place that I would really like to recommend to others.
  • Immerse yourself in the wonders of water with this perfect pairing of Dubai's premier aquatic experiences, strategically located just 15 minutes apart in central Dubai. This combo ticket takes you from the depths of the ocean at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo in Downtown Dubai to the splashing thrills of Wild Wadi Waterpark in Jumeirah, creating a comprehensive water-themed adventure.

    What to expect

    At Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

    Step into one of the world's largest suspended aquariums, conveniently located on the ground floor of Dubai Mall with easy parking access. Your journey begins with the breathtaking 48-meter underwater tunnel, where you'll walk 11 meters below the surface, surrounded by 10 million liters of water teeming with marine life. Look up, down, and all around as 140+ species—including 300 sharks and rays—glide peacefully around you. The 270-degree acrylic tunnel creates an immersive experience that makes you feel truly submerged in this underwater world.

    At Wild Wadi

    After exploring the mysteries of marine life in Dubai's urban center, the short 15-minute transfer brings you to Jumeirah, where you can actively participate in water-based thrills. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Burj Al Arab, this Arabian-themed water park offers a completely different yet complementary aquatic experience. The transition from observing underwater creatures to experiencing water adventures creates a natural progression that maximizes your appreciation for aquatic environments. Challenge yourself on the legendary Jumeirah Sceirah, plummeting 32 meters through a 120-meter tunnel at speeds of 80 km/h, while the proximity between attractions allows for easy exploration of both Dubai Mall's amenities and Jumeirah's luxury resort district.
