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 — 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.

The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi is a breathtaking journey into the heart of the aquatic world, masterfully arranged into distinct, immersive zones. Its brilliant categorization, from the sun-drenched UAE National to the mysterious Atlantic Cave, tells a compelling global water story. The sheer diversity is staggering; we marvelled at sleek sharks and graceful rays in the vast Open Ocean, then encountered playful otters and mesmerizing jellyfish. The adventure extends beyond water, with exotic birds like the magnificent macaws adding a vibrant splash of colour. Every detail is curated for wonder, making it an unmissable, world-class attraction that educates and inspires awe in visitors of all ages. A truly phenomenal experience.

The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi is an unforgettable experience and truly one of the best attractions in the city. The exhibits are beautifully designed, showcasing an impressive variety of marine life from around the world. The tanks are crystal clear, the environments feel natural, and the educational displays make the visit both fun and informative. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about conservation, which adds a lot to the experience. I especially loved the immersive tunnels and interactive areas — perfect for both adults and families with children. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi!

    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.
