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.

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

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.

The best entertainment center I've ever been to. Unreal, huge aquariums with the opportunity to view them 360 degrees. A small but interesting amusement park for children. Penguins are something. It's better what happened to us here. Be sure to bring warm clothes with you. Come to the opening and plan to spend the whole day here. At the entrance, take a map of the aquarium with a schedule of activities for the whole day so that you don't miss anything.

We liked SeaWorld. The park looks modern, everything is logically organized, there are many large screens and visual effects — the picture is very impressive. I liked that it is possible to combine a walk and acquaintance with marine life with full-fledged attractions. There are both children's options and more extreme ones for adults, so it's interesting for the whole family. Everything was comfortable in the cafe — there were practically no queues. The only waiting time is on one adult attraction, about 10-15 minutes. Of the important things, take windbreakers or something warm with you. We couldn't get to the penguins precisely because of the very low temperature inside the zone. In general, the park makes a pleasant impression and is perfect for a family visit.

It's a very beautiful place. It's hard to call it an aquarium in the usual sense - rather, it's a complex of interactive locations where you can not only enjoy the marine life, but also birds and other animals. There are many attractions for children, as well as interesting devices that will delight even adults. Here you can walk all day, discovering more and more new corners of the Sea World.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

A stunning new complex about marine life. Excellent exhibitions, huge pools for fish and other inhabitants, thoughtful division into sectors. Everywhere there are places to relax or drink coffee, with a huge number of tourists, there is no sense of movement in the crowd. As a result - positive emotions and wonderful impressions.

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 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.

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!

Look at the amazing place of pleasant atmosphere, it's not 30 minutes away from the hotel, you can take water with you, there are cafes there, stroke the rays with your hands, and an Arab. The sharks, the slide with 5 loops, were impressed, you don't stand in line for a long time. Super.

This is my new love, a park in my heart. There's nothing remarkable from the outside. A blue circular building with a roller coaster facing the street, on which people squeal) but inside... Amazing!! It's like you're underwater, with lots of different fish swimming around, and the installations are fascinating. Different themed areas. Here you are underwater at a station with a biological laboratory, where huge fish swim around you, as if in a fantasy film about the future, then you are at a station in the Arctic, where there is an icebreaker, of which anyone can become a captain, surrounded by walruses and seals. A cold zone with penguins. Location tropics with flamingos, at arm's length... Dolphins that swim and jump. There are caves and giant aquariums around (although it seems that there is an ocean around, and in the aquarium, on land, you are))) a lot of things. Cool emotions and memories. Definitely worth a visit.

I was impressed by the Aquarium. It is divided into several thematic zones. You need to set aside a day for the examination, and preferably on a weekday. In the entrance area, you can touch the ramps. Then there are a lot of interesting things: huge aquariums, a penguin zone, a tropical zone with flamingos. There are many cafe areas.

I consider this to be the best amusement park on earth! Personally, I have never visited anything cooler, although I have already visited many advanced attractions in the world. Flamingos, dolphins, stingrays, penguins + cool attractions, especially the roller coaster and the coolest is the Hypersphere 360 The expensive cost of visiting this park is fully justified! 🔥 Visited on January 1, 2025 I highly recommend it first of all when visiting Abu Dhabi.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful aquariums, many different fish, in some aquariums you can touch fish, for example, rays, which themselves swim up to contact humans. There is a dolphin show and a scheduled show program. The hall with the "winter" species of fauna is very cold, it is better to plan this in advance.

It's a delight. Various zones. Lots of inhabitants. I went to see the penguins, and they did not disappoint. My son got stuck on flamingos. We visited aquariums in Antalya, Moscow and Dubai. 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. Yes, to clarify, this is before Legoland, in fact, the outskirts of Dubai. In general, visit, you won't regret it.

Guys, good afternoon, this is a place for both children and adults, 5 different departments where you can see marine life and mammals, you will see and maybe even have the opportunity to touch and feed, so if you don't want to screw up and to do everything in time, come at 11 o'clock, take warm clothes for the department of Antarctica and the North Pole it's cold there), keep in mind that in these departments there are different time zones for the comfort of animals, if the penguins have a day, then where the sea lion will be at night and he will sleep, there are also dolphin shows there, and if you want to touch it, you need to sign up and pay online on the spot will not work. And there is a steep roller coaster.))), and one more thing, guys, respect our smaller brothers, take pictures but without sleep it causes stress in animals, do not knock on the windows and do not scream the animal may panic. Have a good rest and emotions))).

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.

I was in the Emirates for the first time. Let's go to Abu Dhabi with my wife. One of the goals of the trip was to visit parks in Yes Island. I can say that of all the 4 parks, the SeaWorld Aquarium is the most memorable, I have never seen anything like it. Huge pavilions. Decorations. Even a roller coaster was able to be placed on the territory of🤩 I can definitely say that I would return to Abu Dhabi for the sake of this aquarium once again.
