Similar to Dubai’s larger-than-life structures and buildings, plenty of the adventure scenes here are uniquely crafted, especially keeping the child’s excitement for discovery alive. So, if you plan on visiting Dubai with your child between 5 years – 15 years, make sure you book a ticket at these spots in advance!
Want to teach kids about different underwater animals and sea creatures? Come to Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo to meet some amazing aquatic life that is found in the deep oceans of the world. Take a walk around and admire cute little Otters, Lionfish, Paddlefish, Giant Spider Crabs, and 40 other species on display. Hold your breath, because you are about to witness the largest suspended aquarium in the world, comprising 10 million liters of water, inhabited by 300 Sharks and Rays, including the uniquely found Tiger Sharks. A 48-meter-long walk, through the tunnel, gives us a 270-degree view of what lies 11 meters below the tank. Kids can even opt for a glass-bottom boat ride for an out-of-the-world experience.
