you have to pay extra for a lot of things: a guide, feeding the fish, seeing penguins, how sea jellyfish are grown. and there is a part of the oceanarium that everyone can see for free. but after visiting this oceanarium, you won't like aquariums in other countries ☺️ the price is high, but it's worth visiting at least once in your life. you will see a huge number of sea creatures live. from time to time, beautiful girls swim inside the oceanarium like mermaids 😍 those who have lived in the emirates for a long time can tell you how to buy a ticket to the oceanarium cheaper 😉

Friends, I want to tell you about our unforgettable adventure in the Dubai Aquarium! The children and I were amazed by the beauty and diversity of marine life, and especially by the cute penguins.
The aquarium turned out to be just huge, and we spent the whole day there. The children were delighted with sharks, rays and other marine inhabitants. And penguins are just something! They are so funny and funny!
We also took a glass-bottomed boat ride and even went scuba diving to get a closer look at the sharks. It was amazing!
In general, the Dubai Aquarium is an ideal place for a family vacation. We will definitely come back here again to once again plunge into this magical world of marine life!

Like many tourists, we have planned to visit many places in Dubai. One of them was the aquarium located in the Dubai Mall.
Like everything in Dubai, it is very expensive and pretentious. But half of it doesn't work.
It seems to be electronic turnstiles, but they are broken, and one girl accepts tickets. As a result, the queue.
The aquarium begins with a red carpet. There is a crowd of people standing and looking at the fish. It's completely free and very effective. The big wall is transparent, and there is a shark swimming behind it. I'd like to see it too. So, you paid 400 tugriks and you are being led between these people and this wall... To see how the same shark swims, but from the other side. And if you are four together, then this is not 400 tugriks, but 400 Bachinskis already...
Then you walk through the corridors and look at the aquariums. Minimum interactivity, maximum boredom.
Everyone goes and asks each other where the exit is))))
Cool inside:
1. There are penguins at the very top, that's really cool. The aquarium is half filled with water and you can see not only how they stand or wander funny, but also how they dive and swim like your torpedoes.
2. The alligator family. I've seen a lot of big ones, but this daddy is just a champion.
3. Otters are cool on the principle of a dolphin-made aviary....
Bottom line: Dress up nicely and stock up on a compass))
Yandex, what kind of vocabulary do you call profanity, friend?

I admire it every time! The aquarium, huge in its height, makes a strong impression, all the inhabitants are perfectly visible - sharks / rays / fish are different. Previously, the upper part was also visible, where those who bought an entrance ticket could go for feeding, now, unfortunately, the top 1/4 was covered with some kind of advertising screen, the appearance immediately lost its entertainment. But the idea is great!

An interesting aquarium. Somewhat expensive tickets if you buy for the whole family. The variety of underwater animals is impressive. It's especially cool to take a ride on a boat with a transparent bottom.
You can get close to the glass for free if you go up to the 2nd floor via an escalator. Both sharks and rays swim up close.
The rest of the places can be viewed from a distance, but up close only for money.

It's a wonderful place. A huge shopping center with a variety of shops, a large aquarium where, if desired, you can feed the fish, of course for a fee. There is a very beautiful waterfall inside the shopping center, and in the evening there are extremely beautiful dancing fountains. The prices certainly bite a little, but it's worth a visit. In general, if there are supermarkets in Dubai where you can buy cheap food, but you need to go to them by metro and bus, since they are located in residential areas, which of course are inferior in their cleanliness to tourist areas. But it is important that you stick a card in the bus when you enter the bus and do not forget to attach it when you get off the bus. Unless, of course, you like very intense heat, then it's better for you to fly there in winter

I really liked the visit, we took a package ticket with a visit to the aquarium of the terrarium and a boat trip.
There is another aquarium on the island of palma, it is certainly smaller, but there are few people there and you can get high from the silence and watching the fish, plus there is a coolest water park, you can also take a ticket in a complex

Despite the decent price, it is worth visiting at least once. You can see live more than a hundred species of marine life, birds, snakes. There are even live crocodiles and penguins. I really liked the show with trained otters, but you need to pay extra for it separately, and they don't allow you to take pictures. However, everything else can be photographed.

I really liked it. There are many species of fish, turtles, penguins, jellyfish, starfish, seahorses, etc.The only thing I think for some inhabitants are uncomfortable enclosures, too small, they hang in them in one place. The ticket is 55 dollars, too expensive.

We liked the aquarium itself. A large, huge variety of fish, interesting design. The only thing that let us down was the guide who bought the tickets from. She promised us penguins, but it turned out on the spot that to see penguins you need to buy a ticket for a different price (which included penguins). As a result, we were not allowed to see the penguins, and in order to see them, we need to go out to the ticket office again and buy tickets for the aquarium + penguins. Tickets are not sold separately for penguins.Moreover, we were not the only ones who flew by, people on the spot asked how much to pay to be allowed to the penguins, they were also sent to the ticket office for new tickets. At that moment, he upset us. It would be great to have a separate ticket for them at the penguin hall.

A place that will definitely impress not only children, but also adults. Huge aquariums, thought out to the smallest detail, a variety of marine, and not only, inhabitants.
You don't want to go out of the tunnel - you can admire the underwater world forever!
Crocodiles, sharks, penguins, bats, parrot - all this you can see right here.
It was also interesting to see a jellyfish farm. Aquariums for them are made with changing lighting - I stood for 15 minutes, couldn't look away.
The Aquarium has all the amenities: a toilet, a small cafe, a souvenir shop.
Yes, the price bites, but it's worth it. There are also special VIP tickets in the aquarium, which provide a quick passage. The thing is cool, but you can do without it, saving 100 dirhams.

The aquarium is not big at all. The price of a visit is greatly overstated . In my opinion, our St. Petersburg is better !
Of the advantages, there are the cutest penguins, for an additional fee they can be fed. The sawfish and the axolotl are something that we don 't have .

The aquarium in Crocus City is cooler, the most interesting aquarium is free from the entrance, the largest and most attractive, which all people pass by walking along the Dubai Mall

Exaggerated. ) There is a tunnel with small sharks, rays, and fish in the Moscow shopping center " Rio ". ...Oh, and the aquarium didn't cause any super emotions. I expected and wanted more emotions . Even the child asked and that's it....? There's a lot of talk....a lot... in fact, it 's nothing special and it 's not that big . The Moskvarium is more interesting...

This is amazing! You can look at the floating rays, sharks and other inhabitants of the aquarium for a long time. If you have come to see the fountains, then it is worth taking the waiting time by viewing the local fauna in the aquarium of the mall. I advise you to visit!

How can you visit the Dubai Mall and not pay attention to the Aquarium, which is considered the largest?! No way!
I'll write something that I didn't like:
-the cost of the excursion for 3 was 600 dirhams (16,300 rubles). This is an insanely expensive pleasure for the family!
- The aquarium is divided into 2 floors, first you go through the tunnel, and then you go up to the 3rd floor and continue the tour. That is, between the 2 parts you need to walk around the mall
- the number of fish and mammals is MUCH smaller than in the Moskvarium.
-the systemless arrangement of the sections of the exposition (where to go, go to something and look, find the name)
In general, summing up, I will say the following... It's not worth the money, you can watch and be impressed in the Moskvarium along with the killer whale show. There are a lot of people and the viewing room is very small and narrow. It is not worth visiting and wasting time and money!

The aquarium itself is no better than the Moscow ones. but! When buying an additional ticket, you can go behind the scenes: see how sharks, jellyfish and other animals are raised, as well as buy an encounter where they will tell you (all in English!) about penguins, otters or other animals. We took the penguins with us, gave them a pat (at the checkout they said several times that we couldn't touch them, we were already upset in advance, but the guide allowed it). They also give you to pet river sharks without additional payment.
Tickets are cheaper in the kidzapp app

We haven't been inside, but it's very beautiful and interesting outside. There are a lot of fish, stingrays of different colors. Even sharks swim. The aquarium is high, the view is good, you can watch from the first floor and from the second.

The aquarium is cool, but the cost of visiting is inadequate. At the moment, only a 199aed package ticket is offered. They stopped selling tickets only to the gallery. Therefore, we watched only the open part accessible to all visitors.

If you are interested in the aquarium, you can see it for free from the corridor of the shopping center, many tourists limit themselves to this. After buying a ticket, you can walk through the tunnel, take pictures of the bellies of sharks and rays at close range, in addition, you can go to another floor with a bunch of small aquariums and terrariums, and watch otters, crocodiles, penguins. In the process, you will be offered to buy a printed photo montage with your participation for the price of a ticket, at the exit you will be given a discount on souvenirs.

Overall: good. But if it wasn't for the baby, I wouldn't have gone and wouldn't have lost anything. The child liked penguins the most. For some reason, the passage through the tunnel was not impressed, we have already seen something like this somewhere, it looks more impressive from the outside (by the way, for free, this was enough for my husband and me for the first time - we just looked outside). In general, the scale is of course incredible. You can watch a man with an aqualung float over you.
I liked the crocodile - you can watch it very closely.
The price tag for one person is about $ 100, a child over two years old is already paid.

A very beautiful place where you get to the bottom of the ocean, this aquarium is just colossally huge, it is located in the center of the shopping center and stretches as far as 3 floors. Different marine life will surprise you and your loved ones. I advise you to take a look 🔥🇦🇪

A very large and beautiful aquarium. A huge number of different fish. There is an opportunity to scuba dive. You can also feed some types of fish. Of the disadvantages: I did not like the tone, nothing is really visible. And in general, it is better to look outside and not pay 418 dirhams. Because the view from the outside is much more beautiful.

With a ticket, you can visit the tunnel and the zoo above the floors (follow the tracks). The zoo has aquariums, fish, large crocodiles, jellyfish, bats, etc. compact.
And the tunnel is not so big , 40 m . in Barcelona we saw 80. The price is space. Not impressed. There are sharks, rays, fish. All this can be seen for free in the form of an aquarium.
It's more spectacular to visit the Dubai safari park with the kids. The children had more emotions from him than from the fish .

It is beautiful, but there is little difference between a paid visit and a free one from the Dubai Mall. There are a lot of people, but if you wait a bit, you can watch for free and take beautiful photos.

Great place) On weekends, UAE citizens plan in advance for a return transfer, traffic jams and taxis that do not arrive. It is better to order from the Fashion Avenue point.

It must be seen and visited
It's just that the scale is unique
So much work of the people has been invested in making this place attract people!
Of course, the Mall itself is a whole city!!!!

There is a lot of advertising around, in general, quite an ordinary aquarium-aquarium. Maybe the aquarium is the largest in the world, but it's somehow not particularly noticeable, otherwise Moscow is not a little worse. And there is nothing to discuss about prices. It's about comparison, and so yes, it's quite beautiful, interesting, informative. It was a pity there was not enough time, so we would have taken the most expensive tickets and visited all possible options, including sitting with penguins in the refrigerator.

A complete disappointment! For the money that we paid for the entrance for the family, we expected a great experience, but in fact, the view in the tunnel is several times worse than the one that you watch for free outside. On boats that are rolled with a transparent bottom, it is very difficult to see and boring, not like adults, even children. The zoo is inside: there are a lot of people, and there are fewer animals and fish than in Moscow - in the Moskvarium or the Crocus Aquarium. The only thing that is more or less interesting is feeding piranhas, but again, it's not worth the money.

To be honest, in my opinion it is much more interesting in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The only thing is that this is the largest aquarium behind glass, not an aquarium

I've read a lot of negative reviews here.
In fact, it all depends on the ticket you bought 🎟️
Mine included a Boat Experience (we got into a small boat with a transparent bottom and rode on top of the aquarium), there was also a small movie inside a small room made for a submarine, there were diving effects, shaking and a video journey along the ocean floor was shown on the screen) + feeding fish and a voucher for a souvenir and a cafe at The aquarium.
There were penguins, a dark room with spiders, bats and other interesting reptiles. Otters, a free-flying parrot, a huge live crocodile, turtles, jellyfish and a great many different marine life 🐠
I really liked the Aquarium 😍👍🏻
Being there, it's hard to realize that this whole world is in the shopping center! 😱
I advise you to visit and spend money on an interesting ticket, and not just a passage into a boring tunnel about which most of the reviews are here.
