National Aquarium

Location Abu Dhabi

Sharks, capybaras & the largest aquarium in the Middle East

One of the most fun indoor family attractions in Abu Dhabi! The National Aquarium takes you through 10 incredible themed zones filled with sharks, rays, crocodiles, colourful fish and interactive experiences for kids and adults alike.

General admission usually starts from around AED 99–110, with different package options depending on how much you want to explore — from Behind the Glass tours and glass-bottom boat rides to full All Access experiences. Kids under 3 enter free.

But our absolute highlight? The capybara feeding experience 🥹 For around AED 20 per person, you can feed and interact with the world’s chillest animals. Just note that the experience is only available when the capybaras don’t have babies to care for.
