Its a wonderful experience for adults and kids alike. In addition to the beautiful sea creatures theres also few birds animals and snakes and interactive areas which makes it a very interesting experience. The whole place takes only about 2 to 2.5 hours to complete the tour so it isnt very exhausting either for little kids.

One of the best aquarium that I had visited. They have the longest underwater tunnel where you can see varieties of sea species and animals. Additionally, they also house few birds species, capybaras, and primates! Located in the lovely place Al Qana with majestic view of the Abu Dhabi Canal and Grand Mosque! Highly recommended!

I think this place is a very fun place, especially if you like fish, animal, or nature. Besides the fish and other animals that lives in the water, they also have frogs, birds, snakes, otter, duck, insects, penguin, and many more. My favourite spot is where they have the birds fly freely in one of the room, it's magical and feels like we're actually in the real nature. -June 2025

An unforgettable experience at The National Aquarium! From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a breathtaking variety of marine life—from colorful tropical fish to majestic sharks and playful rays. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, with clear educational information, making it perfect for both kids and adults. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and share interesting facts about the animals. The facility is spotlessly clean and well-organized, with smooth crowd flow even during busy hours.
