Best zoo we have ever visited in UAE. Animals are see from so close literally as if they are walking nearby. You will not feel exhausted as everything is so near. Setup of the zoo is overwhelming. My daughter loved it a lot.
We purchased Emirates Zoo tickets through Headout, and the process was very easy and smooth. The price was cheaper than buying tickets directly at the zoo, which was a great bonus. Everything worked perfectly with no issues at entry. We would definitely recommend Headout to anyone planning to visit Emirates Zoo.
🐠 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.
One day we went to SeaWorld and Warner Bros. It was so beautiful, and both places were worth visiting. We left early in the morning so we would have enough time, but I wish we had booked tickets for the penguins too.
Our trip to the aquarium was absolutely worth it. The exhibits were beautifully designed and well cared for, making it easy to spend hours exploring. Seeing the marine life up close was both exciting and educational, and the atmosphere was calm and enjoyable. A great experience for all ages and definitely something I’d recommend.
Having a digital ticket meant we could enter immediately without any waiting. The aquarium is very modern and from talking to many of the staff I could see how much they cared for the animals
Over all the experience was good enough parking is available, for kids it's a good place to learn, beyond the glass is more informative, guide is explaining very well during the session.
