WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE
LIMITED MOBILITY ACCESSIBLE
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION NEARBY
The aquarium entrance is on the ground floor of The Dubai Mall, beside the free-to-view tank window - the ticket is for the walkthrough tunnel and the Underwater Zoo above it, which are behind the entrance gates.
Allow about an hour, and longer with children.
Feeding sessions and diver presentations run at set times through the day and are worth planning around; times are posted at the entrance.
The whole venue is indoors, air-conditioned and level, with lift access, so it works for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Photography is allowed but flash is not, and the tunnel is dimly lit, so a phone camera will struggle - hold it steady against the glass.
The mall is very busy at weekends and in the evening; a weekday morning is markedly quieter.
Your ticket is delivered by email.
