Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

A ticketed aquarium inside Dubai Mall combines a walk-through tunnel with an upstairs underwater zoo, making it an easy indoor wildlife stop.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Why go

The visit shifts from the scale of the main tank to closer views of aquatic animals in themed habitats. Its location inside Dubai Mall makes it especially practical when heat or a mixed-interest group calls for a substantial indoor activity.

What to look for

  • The acrylic tunnel passes through the main tank for close views of sharks and rays.
  • The Underwater Zoo is on Level 2, separate from the tunnel on the Ground Level.
  • The upstairs route moves through contrasting rainforest, rocky-shore and ocean environments.

Useful to know

  • Find the aquarium tunnel on the Ground Level, then continue to Level 2 for the Underwater Zoo.
  • Treat dives and glass-bottom boat experiences as optional add-ons rather than part of the basic route.
  • Combine the visit with Dubai Mall; the corrected venue is in Downtown, not near the old Deira coordinate.
