Dubai Mall-Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

We went to our first trip to Dubai and it was really cool. We went to the Dubai Mall and it has a Aquarium and Underwater Zoo inside the mall. The mall was really big and Sydney loved seeing the fish.

Aquarium

A key centerpiece inside the Dubai Mall is the Dubai Aquarium, one of the of the largest tanks in the world at 51m x 20m x 11m and featuring the world’s largest viewing panel at 32.8m wide and 8.3m high. Over time, Dubai Aquarium will have more than 33,000 living animals, representing more than 85 species including over 400 sharks and rays combined.

Dubai Aquarium's 270-degree glass walk through tunnel makes for an incredible close-encounter experiences with some of the most fascinating underwater animals on the planet. It was really cool being able to walk through and see up close and personal sharks and there teeth and stingrays mouth and eyes I had never seen anything like it before. It was really cool and Sydney just loved it.

Underwater Zoo

Walk along the Rainforest, Rocky Shore and Living Ocean environments at the Underwater Zoo and you’ll find yourself face to face with dangerous Piranha, Giant Catfish, playful Otters, a Humbolt Penguin colony, Harbor Seals and more. Also a huge king crab half the size of Sydney.

Whether viewing the Rainforest from a suspension bridge high above the river and tree canopy, or reaching out and touching some of the more hardy rock pool inhabitants, this is an aquatic experience you will never forget.
