You’ll explore Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo inside Dubai Mall, from the large tank tunnel and ecological zones to Penguin Cove. Choose a regular visit or add a glass-bottom boat, feeding session, VIP access, or a penguin encounter. Allow two to three hours, and expect extra charges for photos.

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Aquarium! Everything was beautifully organized, the animals were well cared for, and the entire atmosphere felt magical and immersive. The animal encounter was truly special and unforgettable – such a unique opportunity to connect so closely with them. One small note: the photos taken during the animal encounter are quite expensive, and phones are not permitted during that part of the experience. It would have been nice to have more flexibility there .overall, though, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting.”

I would say there is no need to pay for the combo because you can see the big, amazing sea creatures in the mall for free. Unless you're interested in otters and turtles, skip the combo and only pay for the Burj Khalifa only.”
