A great place with a very interesting exposition and thoughtful organization of space.
The habitats and the combination of inhabitants are very well organized.
A huge aquarium - for 5+.
Additional excursions to the main exhibition (full ticket) - children under 10 years old are not interested in much, because it is conducted by a large group with 1 (one) guide.
Boating with a transparent bottom - 5 minutes of very modest impressions.
In general, the main tour is excellent, all the extras are mediocre.
Not big, but many different locations. The staff is very pleasant, they are happy to tell visitors about the inhabitants.
For children there is a playroom with elements of learning.
I really liked the unusual design of aquariums: a car, a telephone booth, a dome in the center of the aquarium, where a person enters and turns out to be inside it...
In addition to marine life, there are monkeys, a parrot (free to fly), andatras.
With a full ticket, in addition to visiting the aquarium, you attend an excursion to the hospice (in English, but in general it is clear what is being discussed), where they examine and treat found marine life that have become victims of human waste (plastic, bags, etc.), prepare food for different types of animals and fish and take a boat ride with a transparent bottom in a small indoor swimming pool with marine life.
The aquarium is located not far from the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, so you can easily combine a trip to these two objects in one day. There will be enough time.
I recommend it to everyone! I have visited many aquariums in different countries, but the aquarium in Abu Dhabi is simply gorgeous. The design is magnificent, everything is done with a soul, the aquariums in the form of a telephone booth and a car were amazed. Advice! Try to arrive early. Plan for at least 2.5 hours. There are cafes inside. It was April 17, after the famous flood, there were practically no people, most were afraid that it would be closed. But we decided to take a chance and turned out to be right, everything worked. The surrounding area with cafes, shops and even a cinema is also beautifully decorated, you can walk all day.
