Great place to visit! Affordable price, far fewer people than in Dubai, however the same water creatures. On top there are interactive activities for children connected with the concept of the place, which is great. We loved our visit. Highly recommended

We lived near Al Khan beach, so I planned a visit to the aquarium at home. I liked that there were few visitors, but the price was very pleasant: 25 adult dirams and 12 children's dirams (for comparison, there are 100 dirams in the Dubai Mall). The original three-level layout makes the walk especially exciting. First, you walk through a glass tunnel where fish and rays swim directly overhead. Then you find yourself at the aquarium level — you can get a very close look at the marine life. And in the finale, you look at everything from above, walking on a transparent floor above the water. There is a small touch zone where you can gently touch a starfish or a small stingray, which is interesting even for adults. The visit took about an hour and a half at a calm pace. The aquarium is small, but this is a plus: the walk is intense and does not tire. I felt like a child myself — everything was so fascinating and exciting!

A good aquarium. It's clean and beautiful, but the variety of fish and other inhabitants is not particularly impressive. I liked the huge tunnel with sharks and rays. The children were very interested, and the adults were delighted. The staff is friendly, there are information signs in English and Arabic. A great place for a family vacation — I recommend it! The ticket price also includes the ship museum, which is interesting. There is a playground on the territory of the aquarium.

It's a good place to visit with children, there aren't many people in the morning. We visited this aquarium in April 2023 and August 2025, the prices have not changed. 1 adult + child - 40 dirhams. You can use the same ticket to enter the Maritime Museum. the aquarium is quite small, but very cozy. All the inhabitants of the Persian Gulf are represented here. It is especially interesting to watch sharks and turtles. At the end of the exhibition, you can sit in a cafe, the prices are average- cappuccino 13 dirhams, Donat 6 dirhams.

We came here from Ajman with a child. We liked the aquarium. The price is adequate. There are many interesting areas with fish and more. If you take a ticket, you can also use it to go to the maritime Museum, which is nearby.

It's a great place. I really liked it. It is very diverse and informative. There are benefits! People over 60+ and one accompanying person for free! We went for 25 dirhams for three people. My mother is 65 years old, I passed as an escort and my daughter is 14 years old. Only the child was paid for. Souvenirs are sold and there is a cafe. Caught feeding sharks. 🦈 nothing special

The aquarium was located next to our Carlton Hotel. Discounts on the Russian passport. A single ticket for admission to the museum and aquarium. The aquarium looks like it's on 3 levels. You enter- the view from below, then you go to the aquariums, then the aquarium itself and the view from above. There is entertainment for children for free. The child paints a picture, it is placed under the projector and on the big screen the picture comes to life, the children are delighted. There are many slot machines.

We were here on an excursion. The aquarium is relatively small, but almost all the marine life of the Persian Gulf is represented. Of course, everything is air-conditioned, and if you don't know where to go in the heat, then this is the best solution. There is a cafeteria inside, and after viewing, you can order both cold and hot coffee. The ticket price includes a visit to the Maritime Museum. Both the aquarium and the museum are essentially the same location. In general, you can safely go both for adults and with children. The price is 25 dirhams per person. The price seems to rise on weekends.

A cool aquarium, small in size, with two floors. But there are a lot of impressions, as they say! The variety of fish, both large and small, makes this place unforgettable. For 25 dirhams, you can view the aquarium and visit the nearby boat museum. Interactive to watch a movie about fishermen, to see wooden boats of different sizes. The longest one, about twenty meters, is located right at the entrance. Even if you don't speak English or Arabic, you will be received politely, everyone will show you where to go, and then you will figure out what and how. Recommend. But see the opening schedule. He starts work from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

We, two kinders over 50, were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality of the sharks and moray eels, and it was especially interesting to look at the sleeping sharks. The moray eels looked at us from the height of the corals and probably reasoned about how scary these people were.Giant catfish and stingrays, turtles soaring in the water.... The diver showed the most wonderful show. As children, we watched with open mouths as he stroked the fish like a cat. You were alone in the underwater kingdom, you could safely walk through the glass tunnels without a crowd and stare at the huge rays and colorful fish. Very polite staff. There is a souvenir shop and a cafe. I recommend this place to everyone, it is cozy, calm, beautiful and informative, you can hide from the heat in the underwater kingdom.

It's a wonderful place. The entire marine population of the ocean is fully represented. I was particularly impressed with the organization of the space. You can visit as if inside an aquarium, look from the side and watch the sharks and turtles from above. Tickets to the Maritime Museum are included in the price. It's also very interesting.

Admission is free for seniors (over 60 + 1 accompanying person). Near the central beach of Al Khan (10 minutes off-road on foot). When several groups of children were brought in by buses, it became very noisy. Local marine life and the impact of human activity on the sea are shown.

We enjoyed walking with my husband around the aquarium in Sharjah! Why didn't past trips reach him? Beautiful variety of fish! Everything is clean and tidy! The children who were there enthusiastically watched the numerous residents! There are several souvenir shops! The ticket also includes a visit to the Museum of the sea. There is the history of fishing and the life of the beginning of the Emirates. We also looked at everything for information! Nearby you can walk, visit cafes, and boats sail very close by. Let's go with our grandson and visit this wonderful place again!

A great little object for exploring marine life. There is a tunnel where you can view the floating rays.I was in December 2024, and part of the exhibit (exotic inhabitants) was closed. I was amused by the seahorses burying themselves in the sand and the ramps at once. The tickets cost quite a bit, but with a passport, if you are a gentleman, they let you through, they give you a used ticket. After visiting the aquarium, walk across the street, as a bonus you will see the maritime museum - beautiful wooden boats of pearl fishermen. Everything is informative and worthy of attention, I took off the star for the aquarium because the exposition seemed modest in size to me, and I looked at God knows where and how many fish-in Moscow Time, Barcelona, Antalya, Varna, Pattaya, because I like the underwater world.

The aquarium was located within walking distance from our hotel (Occidental Sharjah grand otell). For 25 dirhams, you will visit a very beautiful aquarium with two floors of marine life and a boat museum (the building opposite). The most important thing is to be guided by the schedule! It works from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

We visited the Aquarium in June. A small but interesting aquarium. I left a pleasant impression. Sharks, stingrays, starfish, moray eels, turtles and many more different species of marine animals. It will be interesting for both children and adults. The entrance ticket with a visit to two museums is 30 dirhams per person. Pensioners are free of charge. We visited on our own, bought tickets in the lobby of the museum.

A must-visit if you are in Sharjah, no matter with or without children, it is very interesting, Today I noticed that I looked at it, it is fascinating, sometimes it is difficult to tear yourself away from what you saw! Such a variety is in no way inferior to the Aquarium in Dubai Mall, and the price is much cheaper, on 04/21/2025 25 AYED against 199 ... If you choose the right time, you can also watch the sunset from the balcony of the cafe, which is located at the exit of the Aquarium.

We visited the aquarium in April 2025. The Maritime Museum is closed for restoration, and repairs are underway in the aquarium itself. The cost of the visit is 25 dirhams per person, for pensioners after 60, if they have a document, it is free of charge. The aquarium is small, you can walk all the way back and forth in an hour. It is not known when the fish are fed, each employee called a different time, who is 9, who is 10, who is 11. In the morning, the fish are active and without feeding. There is definitely no need to compare it with Dubai.

A very good aquarium, lots of marine life, large enough, you can walk inside it (like in the Dubai Mall, only shorter in length), over bridges above the water, there is a small aquarium with a scan and starfish that you can touch, you can get the starfish (I couldn't leave the child from this place). The Dubai mall aquarium is much cheaper, and in some cases it is more interesting in Sharjah. There is a good playground nearby, a fountain, a great place for a walk. The embankment is close.

A small corridor runs inside the aquarium, inspection of the aquarium from above (open water). There is a pool with stars and rays that you can touch. We were with the children for 1 year and 2.5 years, we watched without stopping! A ticket for an adult costs 15 dirhams. Seniors and children are free. The aquarium's schedule changes during Ramadan.

Small, but interesting. Fish can be viewed both behind glass and from above, as in a large aquarium. There are sharks, moray eels, turtles, guitar fish, a lot of "little things". By the way, see the conditions of passage to the Aquarium and the museum. If you have elderly relatives with you, then with each 60+, both he and the accompanying person will pass for free. You can save money.

It is open from 8 a.m. (Sunday-Thursday) and a little bit in the afternoon on Friday. Accordingly, arriving at ~9.30 on Wednesday, my wife and I were practically alone (I even thought that everything was closed). We were just feeding the fish. Fish are interesting, there is a tunnel, and you can also watch them from the sides and from above. In addition to the large aquarium, there is a "reef" and a "touching pool" where you can touch a stingray, starfish, etc. In addition to the ticket to the Aquarium, they give you a ticket to the nearby Maritime Museum.

The aquarium is clean and pleasant, music is playing inside, there is a place to sit Several sections. A tunnel with sharks, the kind of which we have seen for the first time in our lives. There is an exit to the bridge when the aquarium is under you, that is, you are on the surface. I was pleased to have the opportunity to touch marine life. Pay attention to the small pool (last photo) It's him. There are starfish and a stingray that can be gently touched In general, we really liked it, we spent a couple of hours there. The children will come in. There's also a souvenir shop there, as far as I know, but we didn't get there in time.

I fell for a marketing ploy - I bought a shared ticket to the marine museum and aquarium. The maritime museum just has models of ships, rigging and shipbuilding tools.
