Absolutely loved it! It is so big that we didn't have time to enter all of the rooms. You definitely need a lot of time for this. My favorite were the penguins. But otters were adorable, as well as the artcic fox. My tour guide (that showed penguins) Aysha was a great expert and a very friend staff member. You can also eat and enjoy the penguins swim by 😍

A great place to visit, lots of interesting themed areas. There is an amusement zone for children, and adult roller coasters are not suitable for tall people.

Four stars (not five) because I do not support the idea of keeping animals (especially large mammals) in captivity. Other was good.

The oceanarium is really big, but it's big because of walls and area primary not fishes. Also, it has a good variance of species. The penguins were great at minus 1. Moreover, it has the greatest rollercoaster, it's really scary.

Main tanks are well designed to watch helicopter view, normal view, and underwater view! Seals and flamingos are awesome! But compared to other aquariums, it is hard to mention what is the representative animal to watch. E.g) sharkwhale at Okinawa, killer whale at Moscow

We had a ticket to 2 parks at once with lunch. We all walked for 4 hours, we all looked at Sea world- of course, you have to see it firsthand, you just can't put into words how modern it is, how beautiful it is, even when we went out to the central hall for the last time, I even shed tears when I watched the video and realized that it was all created by human hands, worshipping nature. There is a lot of water - you can look at it from different sides, from different angles, in different locations, in different interiors. If you want an underwater world, it's just magic, as if you're at an underwater station, you want aquariums with fish with shining eyes, you want to go to the surface of rays and katrans with your bare hands, starfish can also be touched, toothy sharks swim, they even have a Manta ray there! And it came out when my daughter was filming me-it was just magic. You can reach the flamingos with your hand, it's a pity not to touch them with your hands. It's indicated everywhere. And penguins are a sight to behold in their environment, it's cold in their gym, and it's a pity they don't give out warm clothes for a while, and you can't look at them for a long time- but it's definitely worth it, they have king penguins, cubs, and various underwater spots to watch them swim in water. I highly recommend you to visit. Dolphin show from 14.30 to 16. We went for a ride at the end of the whole trip on the rides. And we went to Warner Park for lunch. And yet - a large white bus / shuttle runs throughout the territory of Yas with the inscription express, they have some kind of queue (one goes to a Ferrari, followed by a bus that goes, for example, to Warner Park, waiting for 15 minutes, but in the heat.) indoors in long pants and a T-shirt comfortable. If you have any questions, write to me and I will answer them.

It's just a bomb site! All lovers of wildlife, and especially everything related to water, must visit this place! I must say right away - YES, the tickets are not cheap, but it's really worth it. I would also like to note that tickets at the ticket offices are the most expensive, so it is better to purchase them from local merchants (almost every hotel has such departments), and it is even better to purchase tickets through the Yandex.Afisha service (payment in rubles from a Russian card). Of course, you can purchase tickets through your tour operator, but it will be more expensive than through local or Yandex (but it's true, a little cheaper than at the box office). Be sure to bring warm clothes with you when planning a visit here, because when visiting Antarctica with penguins, you can walk in summer clothes at a temperature of -3 degrees, but it is very uncomfortable and threatens to catch a cold. It probably doesn't make sense to describe in detail what's inside, since there are a lot of reviews and there is enough information on the Internet. It's all really necessary to see! The beauty is indescribable! And the most amazing thing is how this or that corner of our planet has been recreated - everything has been done so that the inhabitants feel "at home". I recommend you to visit! I will add: many people compare this aquarium with the Moskvarium in their reviews. I even went to Moscow specifically to compare it personally and leave an objective review. So: in terms of scale and design, the Abu Dhabi Aquarium is definitely superior to the Moscow one. Yes, the species composition is certainly different, but in Moscow the aquariums themselves are small and, in my opinion, overpopulated. In Abu Dhabi, the aquariums are huge. But the show in Moscow is head and shoulders higher in quality than the performance in Abu Dhabi.

A wonderful family place! What a beauty, created for people. A must-visit, especially if with children (we were without, of different ages from 26 to 60) - everyone will definitely be delighted. Here you can enjoy the beauty of the marine world, as well as freeze a little at the penguins (take a jacket or a jacket). The territory is large, there are many cafes, although not budget ones, but this is the case in all parks. I recommend you to visit.

It's a great place, there's a lot to see, but you'll have to walk around for it. The park is divided into themed areas, everything is signed, so it's hard to get lost. Some rooms are only very cool, which you need to be prepared for. Great dolphin show. Flamingos are really beautiful. You should also pay attention to the tickets, and some of them have food, even if it's not big, but it is. There is also a free shuttle from Ferrari Park, you just need to find where it stops.

It's a wonderful place, we've been there for more than 6 hours, we're thrilled with the number of different zones, animals, and interesting things for children. It's great that there are several cafes with glass and views of dolphins and fish, penguins, a very cool idea. A must-visit, the photo does not convey all the beauty, scale and splendor of this place. Of the nuances: the website stated that the park was open until 18:00, as a result, at 17:20 everyone was already kicked out, and there was also an incident: my daughter and I stayed in the cafe, where the staff were already gathering, and my husband left and could not return to us, as no one was allowed back and everyone they asked us to leave, but they forgot about us, fortunately, everything was resolved safely and we were found at the exit.

When I found myself at Seaworld, I was terribly upset. The price per move is high, especially for the family. There are few animals on the ground floor, a comical camel walking, consisting of a couple of Pakistanis, is not particularly cute. Even the hall with the globe seemed modest and uninteresting. All the labs were empty. But the more I was at Seaworld, the more I was delighted with what I saw. First of all, I admired the way the climatic zones were created and executed. Designers and builders need to be given their due. The scale of the idea is impressive. I liked absolutely all the halls, but most of all the penguin house. A huge territory, about a hundred penguins. But be sure to take warm clothes. There's a plus 1. How long does it take for sea world? We went about 10, actually entered first. We left at 17.30, the park until 18. We have seen how a sloth is operated on, a pearl fishing show, a seal show, a dolphin show. Stroking the stingrays. We went around all the climatic zones, rode on the rides. There was a roller coaster the same as on the street in Ferrari, only the speed is slightly less, and there are more turns. The Oceans 360 attraction is simple. It's like you're in a balloon, like at the bottom of the ocean. I repeat, the scale of the complex is huge, everything is convenient, interesting, a lot, from different angles, and all the animals listed in the program can always be found. It is an ideal place for children to spend the day and have fun and benefit. There are children's quests. The food is decent, but it is expensive. You can take water and food with you, they don't take anything away, there are drinking fountains. . A playground in the tropics is just a fire.

It's amazing!!! Just wow! So far, this is the best aquarium I've ever visited! The scale is impressive. It is beautiful, fascinating, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. I was there for about 6 hours, like in one breath, I think I would like to visit this place again, I have a feeling that I didn't have time for everything) Before visiting, I highly recommend studying the scheme of the aquarium and reading blogs to understand where you will be interested, since you will not be able to cover everything in 1 day. I managed to go through all the zones, stayed a little longer somewhere, took a cursory look somewhere. I also visited 2 attractions, a sphere and that slide that is on the street (quite scary! But I really liked it). Of course, Antarctica is the most impressive! Penguins! By the way, you can book access to the contact area in advance.

The place is beautiful. It is interesting and impressive for both children and adults. The animals are well-groomed, clean, and beautiful. We ate a combo lunch on the 1st floor, the amount for which was included in the entrance ticket. There are many attractions for children, and there is also one very dynamic one for adults. Those who rode from our group said that it was cooler than the largest roller coaster in the Ferrari Park. But not knowing about him, my friend and I did not stumble upon him. Therefore, if you are a fan of extreme sports, you need to find out at the entrance where this attraction is and how it works. We also attended a dolphin show. It's beautiful, I recommend it. Those who do not want to be wet from splashes need to sit on higher benches. If you are eating with a family with children, you can put a day in the park, there will be somewhere to spend this time.

It's interesting to visit once! Very large scales, large aquariums, exactly the volumes of everything. There are several different thematic halls: the south seas, the microcosm, Antarctica, the North Pole, etc., in the center of the park there is a large glowing ball from which there are entrances to different halls. There is a beautiful light show in this hall, as I understand it, every hour, these are large canvas screens in a circle and show the underwater world. There are areas where it is cold, you may need a jacket. It's coldest in a penguin barn in Antarctica, it's very cold, even in a jacket! Interestingly, you can feed and touch the rays with your hands. Beautiful flamingos, but the strange feeling of everything is fake, probably because everything, absolutely all plants are fake, even the grass of flamingos, everything is fabric and dusty in places. The dolphin show is weak, the audience is entertained by 5 drummers before the show, they are really interesting, without them there would be nothing to watch at all. I don't want to sound like a prude, but I liked the aquarium more in Moscow and at VDNH and Crocus, but you can watch it once :)

We arrived at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. There was only security at the entrance, and we were third at the ticket office, queuing for a couple of minutes. The park is empty, there are very few people. By 1 p.m., there were a lot more people. The entrance fee is 385 dirhams. The only thing I didn't like was the dolphin show, it's sad, some people come out all the time and talk, talk, talk, but the dolphins themselves are beautiful and cheerful, friendly. I was very impressed with how the world's oceans were designed, as if you were at an underwater research station. Well done. The animals look happy, and there are plenty of spaces for them. Penguins, otters, seals - if you go to them, then dress warmly. It's not hot in the center at all. Since we were not interested in the carousels and slides, it took 2.5 hours to visit everything. Don't forget to take a travel guide at the entrance, it's in Russian so you don't miss anything. We liked it.

We visited the newest of the amusement parks on the island of Yas - SeaWorld, and were absolutely delighted! This is a really impressive place for the whole family. The atmosphere and scale are amazing from the very first minutes. The park is huge, with stunning themed finishes and attention to detail. It is immediately felt that the creators have put a lot of effort into creating a unique atmosphere. The sea animal show is a different story. I was especially impressed by the performance with killer whales and dolphins - it was incredibly spectacular and emotional. The trainers did a great job teaching the animals. I highly recommend visiting Hypersphere 360 in the Arctic zone. We were impressed by the world's largest aquarium of marine life, a 20-meter vertical viewing window into the aquarium, locations with a natural habitat for penguins, flamingos, sea lions and fur seals, walruses and sea beavers. The food in the park is varied, there are both fast food and more refined restaurants in the Endless Ocean zone (Fathom 11). For a change, you can ride the long and adrenaline-pumping Manta attraction in the Tropical Ocean zone or on less harsh rides in the Micro Ocean zone Come as early as possible (starting at 10 a.m.) so that you can attend all the shows without queues. Be sure to take a map of the park and plan your route in advance. It's likely to be very crowded on weekends. Overall, SeaWorld is a must-visit destination in Abu Dhabi. Ideal for families and lovers of marine animals. I definitely recommend you to visit!

Everything is at a high level, it is interesting to wander and look at the animals of our planet. Probably in the near future we will be able to see wild animals only in such places....the halls are large, there are comments on the scoreboard of what fish and animals you observe. An unrealistic number of children's attractions. And various shows while walking through the themed halls . I recommend taking a jacket with you - it's very fresh, and stock up on Power banks so that the equipment does not shrink from the amount of shooting)) the entrance is approximately 10-11000 ₽ per person, the time of stay is unlimited. I recommend.

Do you want to see the underwater world without scuba diving? Come here! For those who go for the first time, buy tickets to several parks at once. For example, the aquarium and the Ferrari Park, I will write about it later, it will be cheaper. And I took a car with a driver. It is divided into several zones. It's better to specify the time of the dolphin show, the children will really like it! There you can touch the rays with your hands, everyone screams with pleasure!!! There are probably only whales in the aquarium))) Then you can go down and ride a roller coaster, not for the faint of heart and those who have no health problems!!! There is a zone with restaurants

If you're in doubt about going or not, my advice is to definitely go. The event lasts for 4-6 hours. Food and drinks are not allowed. But there are a lot of cafes inside, but the prices are biting salad, pasta will come out from 3600 rubles. To drink coffee 800 rubles. Everything is beautifully decorated. Huge halls that don't repeat each other. Lots of interactive screens. The fauna is diverse, but not as diverse as in the Moskvarium, for example. However, all this is offset by the interactive and decorated halls. It's cold in the halls of the Arctic and Antarctica, take warm clothes or a blanket. Overall, we are very satisfied. Just wow!

This is something incredible, we are thrilled with the whole family! A real state within a state. Representatives of the aquatic world are divided by climatic zones. Be sure to take the park layout at the entrance, it simplifies movement. There's a dolphin show at certain hours, but it's very short, and we've been looking for a place to sit for longer. Penguins and pink flamingos are very impressive. They are, of course, in different rooms. But you can see them at arm's length without glass. By the way, if you plan to stay with the penguins, then take warmer clothes with you. It's unrealistically cold at minus 5 degrees in T-shirts.

A park for the whole family, it will be interesting for everyone! The park is unique in its kind, you must set aside the whole day to visit, from opening to closing, especially if you are with children, otherwise you will not have time to see everything and go through all the locations. I also advise you to take a Quick pass, otherwise you will stand in queues for rides for a long time. The price of all this pleasure is not small, but it is better to go to this park fully than to run through all the parks nearby without understanding anything. Get tickets earlier, there are third-party websites that offer tickets cheaper than at the ticket offices of the park + they give lunch as a gift. The food in the park is expensive and not worth the money. There is a free shuttle service from Dubai, buses run according to schedule, see the park's website. There is also a negative side to our visit to this park, which is why I removed one star. We were at the Hypersphere 360 attraction and the program did not end, the attraction stopped and froze, it turned out that the park was closing and everyone was asked to leave the park. Then we also had a "surprise" waiting for us, an extremely ill-thought-out moment with a return transfer to Dubai. The park closes at 17.00, and the return transfer to Dubai departs from the stop next to the park at 19.45, all this time you will be standing at the stop, or you will have to take a taxi to Dubai, which will cost you about $ 100. After standing for 30 minutes and freezing, it was cool and a strong wind was blowing, we decided to go to Ikea, since it is nearby. We had a snack at Ikea restaurant and returned to the park stop for transfer to Dubai by 7.45 pm. I hope my review will help someone.

This one is without a doubt the best. There are many catering outlets on the territory. Yes, all together, it's not a cheap treat, but it's worth it. We came from Dubai. Before the trip, I read that a one-way taxi costs 400 dirhams.. There are indeed 370 in Karim, but it turned out to be 240 through Yandex, but it was Monday morning, and 140 turned out to be back.
