We had brunch at Gordon Ramseys Bread Street Kitchen which is opposite the aquarium and the tickets were included. I am glad there were. The aquarium is unlike any other I have seen before, the displays are amazing and we particularly like the big tank were we could see the scuba divers who interacted with us. I could have sat and watched the fish for hours. My family really enjoyed this aquarium and I would definitely recommend this as a place to visit

My family and I absolutely loved this place! I would not compare it with a botanical garden as some reviewers here did. To me the concept is simply unique. It’s revolutionizing the traditional zoo and brings the experience to a different level. Ok, but now to the facts: - inside you can find the largest indoor man-made life-sustaining tree; - if I understood correctly big part of the animals were rescued (mainly from people keeping them inside); - the staff is well informed, super friendly and answered all of my questions with love for the animal; - it provides educational insights in a real-time environment - my daughter (3,5 y) was so overwhelmed by the tomato frog for instance and talks about it all the time; - there was a thunderstorm/rain falling at noon - It really felt like we were in a tropical rain forest; - I must say I don’t regret paying a full price for the little one, although I think there should be a smarter pricing plan for kids between 3-6 (but that’s applicable to anywhere here in Dubai); - you should take your time and really let work on you - it’s a world of its own and just going in and walking down the aisle seeing left and right some strange birds is not what this place is about;

This place is wonderful. We didn’t earlier know that there’s a dolphin show in Dubai! The place is covered with air conditioning. The show was really amazing. We’ve enjoyed every second. Our two years son was very happy & enjoyed too much. The Seal show was nice as well. It was a nice day, specially after Covid-19 lockdown. We really loved the experience & definitely will come back again. It’s highly recommended for everyone in the town.
