Adorable otters
My otter experience was wonderful. I got to pet the otters tiny hands through glass. This option is great for grownups as well as kids

A great escape from the heat
Definitely worth a visit, the marine life is lovely. I do wonder if the penguins should be elsewhere though.

The aquarium is really amazing, great thing to do with partner or with kids. Really enjoyed the view of the fish, sharks , rays and also the otter.

Long lines and line cutters oh my
Dubai aquarium and Burj Khalifa were good however be ready for a long line at Burj Khalifa. It was about 90 min and pretty warm due to sheer number of people. Also be aware you will be dealing with people cutting in line constantly due to the setup and lack of line management.

It’s great,but when you book for both people on first floor they not trained to guide you to the next level up for the penguin cave and zoo.

Burj khalifa was worth a visit but the queue was ridiculous. Never ending & very very slow. Views were great but then you had to queue to get back out! Get a fast track ticket, we wished we had!
Aquarium was excellent & underwater zoo was fabulous, pay to see the penguins up close, you get to stroke them. We wished we’d booked & had time for the otter experience, & if you do the stingray experience you get to feed them. These didn’t seem to be advertised on Viator, if they had, we’d have booked!
