Interactions with the Aquatic Animals
Interaction With the
King Croc
Have you ever met Croc-royalty in person ? Take
this opportunity to meet "king" Croc. A magnificent specimen from the
animal kingdom, this enormous 40-year-old monster is native to
Australia, weighs nearly 750 kg and is more than 5 meters long.
Interaction With the
Penguins
Gentoo penguins were first brought into the Gulf
area by the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. These charming,
flightless birds are placed in an innovative exhibit where they are
interactive; this would improve the visitors' experiences beyond
anything before, thus creating an entirely new standard.
Interaction With the
Otters
Being one of the smallest among the 13 otter
species, this particular one is indigenous throughout Asia. In the
Underwater Zoo, visitors can take a behind-the-scenes tour into the
otters' habitat while interacting with these adorable and charming
little creatures. A special educational presentation on otters will also
be available.
Interaction With the
Rays
Visit the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and
hand-feed our courageous Eagle Rays and Cow nose Rays using our
custom-built ray feeding station. It's an incredible sight to see these
curious but kind animals breakthrough the water's surface to retrieve
the fish away from your hands. Rays are gorgeous creatures. They are
very safe to feed, and they will make anyone smile.

Feeding Presentations
Watch as our diver feeds these gorgeous creatures as they
soar through the water. At 10:30 each morning, the rays are fed.
The Aquarium's dinnertime is always entertaining. Our team
of divers descends into our 10-million-liter tank every day at 2:00 pm to feed the
sharks.
Animal Presentations
We have experts stationed around Dubai Aquarium &
Underwater Zoo to respond to any of your inquiries. Our Otters and Piranhas receive
regular presentations and feedings every day at 2:30 and 2:45, respectively. The
timings could change.
Glass-Bottom Boat Rides
At Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, embark on a
glass-bottom boat ride for a stunning glimpse of the deep. The most gigantic
suspension tank in the world, which holds 10 million liters of water, allows you and
others to ride on its surface. Get a bird's eye perspective of more than 33,000
aquatic creatures, including more than 70 kinds of sharks and rays. All you need to
do is chill out while taking the journey with a guide. Your best bet for
Glass-Bottom Boat Rides is the underwater zoo on Level 2. Every 10 to 20 minutes,
rides leave. The number of passengers per boat is 10, so departure times depend on
space.
Pregnant women and children under 2 years old are not
allowed to ride the glass-bottom boats.
Note : The Dubai Aquarium offers a variety
of entertainment alternatives, including shark dives, snorkelling, shark walkers,
and scuba diving, depending on your budget. To access such sights, additional fees
must be paid.
