Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

A 10-million-litre aquarium inside Dubai Mall: tunnel, Underwater Zoo and penguins — from 139 AED.

Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo — Dubai Mall

from170 AED

One of the largest suspended aquariums in the world, right inside Dubai Mall: a ten-million-litre tank and a clear tunnel with sharks and rays gliding overhead. ✨ What to expect

  • The tunnel beneath the main tank: tens of thousands of creatures around and above you
  • Underwater Zoo one floor up: otters, a giant crocodile, penguins, a night zone
  • Feedings and mini-shows on a schedule through the day
  • All inside Dubai Mall — the fountains and Burj Khalifa are next door

📅 One option with an open date, three with a chosen day

The basic Penguin Cove ticket works as an open-date ticket: come any day within mall hours. Ultimate Experience, the penguin encounter and All Access are tied to a date, chosen at booking — that is the venue's condition, not our preference. If your plans are fluid, take the basic ticket. 👶 Children

There is no separate child fare here: children pay the adult price. That is the aquarium's own rule, not our markup, and it is the most common surprise at the desk. Under-threes enter free. ⏱ How much time to allow

An hour and a half to two hours for the tunnel and Underwater Zoo, longer if you take the penguin programme. The aquarium fits neatly into the same day as the fountains and Burj Khalifa: it is all in one building. 🎫 How the ticket arrives

Electronically, with a QR code, via Telegram or WhatsApp — usually within one or two hours of confirmation. Show the code from your phone at the entrance; no print-out needed. Tickets are non-exchangeable and non-refundable: pick your day in advance; the basic Penguin Cove ticket is open-dated, so any day works. Before you book

  • Which ticket you need: the basic open-date one or one of the dated options. - The exact date if you take penguins, Ultimate or All Access. - Your children's ages: there is no child fare, under-threes are free. - Whether you are combining with Burj Khalifa — there is a combo, cheaper than buying separately.
