About this activity

Discover one of the city’s most fascinating attractions with a visit to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, located inside the iconic Dubai Mall. Often referred to as the Dubai Mall Aquarium, this extraordinary attraction offers a rare chance to explore the wonders of the underwater world up close—without ever stepping into the water. With your ticket, you’ll witness the beauty, diversity, and mystery of marine life in an immersive and unforgettable setting.

Get Up Close to One of the World’s Largest Aquariums
The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo is home to a massive 10-million-liter tank that showcases the depth and serenity of ocean life. Recognized as one of the world’s largest suspended acrylic aquariums, it stretches from the ground floor of Dubai Mall up to the third level. Inside, more than 33,000 marine creatures—including sharks and rays—glide through crystal-clear waters, offering a breathtaking visual experience from the moment you enter.

Explore the Underwater Zoo and Walk Through the Aquarium Tunnel
Your ticket to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo also grants access to the fascinating Underwater Zoo, where you can observe a variety of remarkable species. Highlights include a giant 40-year-old crocodile weighing around 750 kilograms, along with piranhas, snakes, pelagic fish, and more. One of the most memorable moments is walking through the 48-meter-long underwater tunnel, where marine animals swim gracefully overhead, surrounding you from every angle.

Penguin Cove and Unique Marine Experiences
With selected passes, you can visit Penguin Cove and watch playful penguins in their specially designed habitat. The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo also offers a range of optional experiences for adventure seekers, such as cage snorkeling, shark dives, shark walker encounters, and specialty diving sessions. Additional activities like ray feeding, shark feeding, and glass-bottom boat rides allow you to observe thousands of marine animals from unique and thrilling perspectives.

This world-class attraction blends education, entertainment, and awe-inspiring visuals, making the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo a must-visit experience for families, couples, and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
