Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo charges AED 199 — Aquarium Tunnel, Underwater Zoo, Penguin Cove, plus an AED 20 shop voucher. That is the venue’s own published figure on the verification date at the foot of this page; entry fees in Dubai change seasonally, so confirm before you travel.
What are Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo's working hours?
They differ by day. Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.
What is Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo's ticket price today?
AED 199 — Aquarium Tunnel, Underwater Zoo, Penguin Cove, plus an AED 20 shop voucher — that is the operator’s current published figure, checked on the date shown at the foot of this page. We re-check it when the operator changes it or a reader tells us it has moved.
Where can I read reviews of Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
Is Dubai Aquarium the same as Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo?
Yes. Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is also written as Dubai Aquarium and Dubai Mall Aquarium. They all refer to the same venue described on this page.
