Highlights

- Exit through gift shop — set expectations with kids beforehand.
Common questions
Dubai Aquarium or National Aquarium Abu Dhabi?
Dubai for tunnel icon and mall pairing; Abu Dhabi for newer exhibits and less crush on weekdays.
Are aquarium tickets worth the add-ons?
Glass-bottom boat yes for kids; cage snorkel only if you want the novelty — visibility is controlled.
