Dubai Underwater Aquarium and Zoo Complete Description and Access Routes
Description
The Dubai Aquarium is one of the largest aquatic tanks inside shopping malls in the world and is located on the ground floor of Dubai Mall. Upon entering, a massive glass tunnel is right in front of you, where sharks, rays, and various fish swim right above your head.
This experience becomes an unforgettable part of the journey for many families and tourists.
On the upper floors, the underwater zoo is located; a section where rare animals like the giant crocodile 'King Croc', penguins, snakes, frogs, and strange aquatic creatures are displayed.
One of the exciting parts is the opportunity to kayak on the surface of the tank or even dive inside the aquarium.
How to Get There?
• Metro: Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Station → then the covered path to the mall.
• Car: The best parking is Fashion Parking or Cinema Parking.
• Aquarium Entrance: On the ground floor near the Grand Atrium entrance.
Practical Tips
• The Family Pack ticket is more economical.
• It gets busier in the evenings; morning is the best time.
• If you plan to take photos, the best angle is inside the glass tunnel.
