Featuring a rich diversity of aquatic animals including Sand Tiger Sharks, Rays, Giant Groupers, Penguins, Seals, Crocodiles and a mind-boggling variety of fish, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is spread over two levels of The Dubai Mall. Shark Dives, which are open to certified divers and to those who have never dived before, are popular with young and old alike. The recently introduced Glass Bottom boat rides throughout the day are also extremely popular with the public.
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo complements other leisure attractions such as the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink and The Waterfall, which traverses all four levels of the mall.
The Dubai Mall will soon open a dedicated Entertainment Precinct featuring SEGA Republic, the largest of its kind indoor family theme park; KidZania®, an award winning children’s ‘edu-tainment’ concept; and Reel Cinemas, a 22-screen megaplex.
