Fantastic experience: We had a fun time at Sharjah Aquarium! I went with my two girl friends last June 7, since it was a holiday and the only free time we had to hang out. The place was really nice and peaceful. It was refreshing to see all the marine life ā the fish, the sea creatures, and the tunnel where you can see them swimming around you. We enjoyed walking around and just taking our time. It was a fun and relaxing experience. If youāre looking for something chill to do in Sharjah, I recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience! Sharjah Aquarium is a hidden gem and a must-visit for anyone in the UAE. The variety of marine life is stunning ā from colorful reef fish to majestic rays and sharks, everything is beautifully displayed in clean, well-maintained tanks. The layout is spacious and family-friendly, with plenty of educational exhibits for kids and adults alike. The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. I especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to see creatures native to the Arabian Gulf. Itās not as crowded as some other attractions, which makes it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for families, tourists, and anyone who appreciates the wonders of the ocean. One of the best aquariums I've ever visited!
Positive experience: Good Exposure in Sea water fishes. We can see very closely and overall good experience. All the UAE residents and visitors must visit place

Positive experience: Aquarium is a great place to explore marine life, especially for families with kids. The exhibits are well-designed and informative, with a good variety of fish and sea creatures from the Arabian Gulf. It's clean, peaceful, and not too crowded. The combo ticket with the Maritime Museum is a nice bonus. Iām giving 4 stars only because the aquarium is a bit smaller than expected, and it could use a few more interactive elements. Still, a very enjoyable and educational experience overall!
Positive experience: I recently visited the Sharjah Aquarium, and it was an absolutely mesmerizing experience! The facility is impeccably well-maintained, with crystal-clear tanks showcasing a stunning array of marine life. The diversity of species on display is extraordinary, from the mesmerizing jellyfish to the majestic sea turtles gliding effortlessly through the water. The layout of the aquarium is thoughtfully designed, providing a seamless flow through different aquatic environments, such as the vibrant coral reef displays and the awe-inspiring deep-sea exhibits. The lighting and ambient sounds add a magical touch, creating a serene atmosphere that transports visitors into the depths of the ocean. In addition, the educational exhibits were engaging and informative, making it an ideal destination for both children and adults alike. I left with a renewed sense of wonder for the ocean's beauty and a deeper appreciation for its fragility. I highly recommend Oceanic Wonders Aquarium to anyone seeking an unforgettable, enriching experience.

Positive experience: Super aquarium with lots to see for young children. Only down side waz that we were rushed through due to other school trips
Positive experience: Value for 25 AED per person. Free car parking available. Can spend atleast 3 to 4 hrs easily with family. Kids will love it.
Fantastic experience: I visited Sharjah aquarium on a weekend and it was not crowded, with decent amout of people. The entrance is 25 AED + 5 AED tax. First you'll be greeted with photographer who will capture 3D pictures with various backdrops which can be purchased later (optional). Then the journey will begin. It's takes like 1.5 to 2hrs if you're reading the etymology/anatomy. This is such an interesting place for the kids as well, there were sharks, stingray, and starfish (you can touch it) which I found very interesting. There's also a screen where you can play games related to the anatomy of fish and sharks. To top it of, a cafe is located near the exit where you can grab a quick snack or drink. Overall I would rate this place a 5/5 for it's atmosphere, customer service, and ambience. Must visit if you're in Sharjah.
Positive experience: My kids loved the Aquarium so much. We paid 90 dirhams for 2 adults and 2 kids under 7. Which was a pretty good price. There are several types of sea creatures here in various parts of the aquarium. My favourite was the part where you are allowed to pet some of the small fishes like star fishes etc. The place also has a CaffĆØ at the very top that serves snacks and drinks. There's also a gift shop where you can buy some souvenirs.
Positive experience: It was an awesome experience. My toddler enjoyed it very much. Watching the shark from close was a good experience. Cafeteria inside the aquarium is also good. Overall we are satisfied.

Positive experience: This aquarium is a decent place to visit, offering a peaceful atmosphere and an opportunity to explore various aquatic species. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a good spot to spend time surrounded by nature. One interesting feature is their photography service, where they take pictures with visitorsā permission and create decorative 3D models, such as a ship with your photo inside, along with other unique designs. Though Iām not familiar with the exact names of these models, they add a creative touch to the experience. The entry fee is 25 AED per person, which is reasonable for a small yet well-maintained aquarium. It houses a variety of fish and marine creatures, making it a nice place to explore and enjoy some quality time. I was able to explore everything within an hour, so it's not a very large place, but it's still a good experience.

Fantastic experience: Do not sleep on this aquarium!! Personally, I think this is better than the Dubai Aquarium paid experience as itās 1/8th of the price and you get to view the shark tanks from above-an unforgettable experience for any shark lover!
Positive experience: Once again, much like its neighbour Maritime History, I expected it to be slightly bigger and the displays to be a bit more cleaner. Still, a fun spot especially for children.

There is a restaurant along it for dining. Aquarium also have fish toys and refreshments inside. Free Visitors parking is available. If you want to go on UAE national day then better visit in morning as long que after 12 pm.
Positive experience: Sharjah Aquarium is a great place to visit! The interior is beautifully designed, and there are so many different fish to see ā itās a fun and relaxing experience. The only thing that could be better is the cafe; the food options are pretty limited. A bit more variety would make the visit perfect.
Positive experience: A not very big aquarium, but nicely arranged, worth a visit. You need 60-90 minutes to visit it. There is a combined ticket, which also allows you access to the Maritime Museum. It costs AED 25. It can be easily reached from Dubai by ferry from Al Ghubaiba Marine Station, the disembarkation point is right next to the aquarium. There is also a cafe.

Positive experience: It was worth the price, a good experience, and a nice place to visit with kids and family, However, you can finish your visit in 30-45 minutes, not something huge, The good thing also is that you can visit both the aquarium and the museum with the same ticket There are some shops for souvenirs and a cafeteria. Not so many parking spots, and the dedicated parking for visitors is at the back and not indicated properly. You have to park there and walk back to enter the aquarium. I recommend it for a quick 1-2 hours of family quality time.
Positive experience: A small aquarium but full of things to see compared to the price which is 25 AED per person There are many fish tanks, all are clean and in a very good condition. I recommend visiting this place if you have the time, you won't regret it.
Positive experience: Sharjah aquarium was refreshing to see if you are in Sharjah. Ticket fare is not too expensive. Not that super fancy aquarium but will do. Need a little upgrade on the cafe though. Staff were super friendly.
Fantastic experience: This place is great for kids who love sea animals. It is clean, huge and nicely decorated. I love how they have an option for souvenirs and it turned out lovely!
Positive experience: An amazing place to spend the weekend. The staff there are so polite and helpful. The aquarium is well kept and has an amazing variety of fish. A great place for kids to spend time too. I enjoyed every bit of the journey including the museum. Would definitely recommend this place.
Positive experience: It was a good experience and a nice place to enjoy with family. It was nice to see fish, turtles, and other undersea species
Positive experience: They have now closed the entrance and part of the parking (which was not clear - A4 piece of paper on the roundabout that parking was now at the back). The aquarium itself is lovely, lots of different species of fish. It is however dated and could probably do with some renovations but it was well worth the 25 AED or so of the entrance fee. There were however no staff around the aquarium so we couldnāt ask questions or find out more information(only at the entrance and near the theatre). There were no times at the theatre. It was super busy as there were summer camp visits.
Fantastic experience: Situated near the harbour and opposite to the Sharjah Maritime Museum, the Sharjah Aquarium is a must visit attraction in the city. Bonus, if you buy a ticket for the Aquarium, you also get a complimentary pass for the Maritime Museum as well!

Fantastic experience: Good place to visit with your family, particularly with kids.
Fantastic experience: Great for visiting with the family, not only the attractions but humble staff too
Fantastic experience: For a family experience, try timing your visit with a scheduled fish feeding time or talk. Children will be delighted to learn more about the sea creatures and play on the interactive displays. The aquarium should be on the top of any list of things to with kids in Sharjah, especially for childrenās edutainment. Families in Sharjah often bring kids here to learn about local marine life.

Sharjah Aquarium, Al Khan, Sharjah, UAE ā° 8 AM - 8 PM (Weekdays), 4 PM - 8 PM (Fridays) AED 25 (adults) , AED 15 (Kids below 12) Visit today and discover the magic of the Arabian Gulfās marine life! āØ
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of visiting Sharjah Aquarium during the Eid holiday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The aquarium offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant marine life of the Arabian Gulf, featuring a diverse array of sea creatures, from colorful fish to majestic rays and sharks. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, providing an educational yet engaging experience for visitors of all ages. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to share fascinating facts and answer any questions. The highlight for me was the large tunnel tank, where you can watch sea life swim overhead, creating a truly immersive experience. Moreover, the aquarium is well-maintained, clean, and organized, ensuring a comfortable visit. The interactive displays and informative signage make it easy to learn about the various species and their habitats. I highly recommend Sharjah Aquarium to anyone looking to explore the underwater world while in Sharjah. It's a perfect family-friendly destination, offering both entertainment and education. I'll definitely be returning on my next visit to the city!
Positive experience: The Sharjah Aquarium features 20 tanks that recreate different local aquatic environments, from coral reefs and rock pools to lagoons and mangroves. An indoor walkway for tourists allows up-close viewing of the marine animals in these habitats. However my opinion will be very honest, my experience wasnāt good what I was expecting, The Crowd was poorly managed during Eid Holidays, 1: only person was on the desk for issuance of tickets while 100 were waiting in straight sun with kids , it can be witnessed with cctv. 2: No fans were installed outside for families who were in waiting, 3: No lift i found for those who had kids and wheelchairs, 4: tour guide should have been to explain about the creatures. Expecting good arrangements for my next trip, Thank you,
Positive experience: Great underwater experience! A huge number of water species are there. Here I saw the sea tortoise for the first time.Tickets are very cheap and it is very close to the Aquarium Marine Station,Sharjah and Al Ghubaiba Marine Station in Dubai.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience here, and my kids loved it. Its combined tickets for the Aquarium and Maritime Museum, both located on the same campus, are a great deal. There's also a small park for kids. Ticket prices are very reasonable at 15 AED for children and 25 AED for adults. Additionally, free parking is available within the Aquarium campus. I highly recommend this place for a must visit in Sharjah.
Fantastic experience: I have visited it 3 times because my son loves this place. The exhibits are same as last year. The maintenance is good as well. You get to see the boat museum as well in the same ticket(25 aed for adults and 15 for Kids). There is a small park for toddlers outside as well.. Overall experience is good and VFM entertainment.
Fantastic experience: This was one of the very good experiences we had here in Sharjah I would strongly recommend you visit here. People above 60 will be free and kids with less charges. Even they have discount entry and free e 40 for 3 adults and 1 kid. The place is very beautiful and you will for sure enjoy the view. Itās worth the money and not crowed specially when you visit afternoon and kept very clean.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the experience! Was lucky to attend on May 18, International Museum's Day, so no charge to enter. The sea turtles are amazing
Positive experience: A must visit place with small kids they will really love it Personally I loved the placeā„ļø They could have kept the small fishes (seahorse tank)area lighted,people passing from there couldnāt understand whether it had sea life in it Childrenās will really love to visit this place There isnāt many varieties but itās peaceful and big Also thereās a gift shop and they take a picture of you at the entrance if you want they will develop Ianās frame it for you ,for which you will be charged. The museum is also so big and is full of boats and fishing materials Knowledgeable of how back then everything worked in the UAE especially in the fishing and trade area. They have vending machines also a small coffee are over there for everyone to chill n relax Should wait for few minutes so that u can see bigger fishes too They swim far n come back n forth. Small fishes are the cutest here
Fantastic experience: Sharjah Aquarium is a fantastic destination for anyone interested in marine life and conservation. Its educational exhibits and diverse marine species make it a worthwhile visit for families, school groups, and tourists. Despite minor areas for improvement, it offers a rich and engaging experience that highlights the importance of marine conservation. Tickets are priced at 25 for adults and 15 for kids. However they charge you less when you go in larger groups. It hardly takes an hour to cover this place.
Fantastic experience: The Sharjah Aquarium offers an immersive underwater experience, showcasing marine life from the Arabian Gulf. With informative exhibits and interactive displays, it's both educational and entertaining for visitors of all ages. The highlight is the mesmerizing tunnel, providing a unique perspective of underwater ecosystems. Truly a must-visit!
Fantastic experience: It takes around 45 minutes to travel from Al Bustan Center to Sharjah Aquarium. I recommend to get your own car or take a cab from Dubai to the Sharjah Aquarium. The price of the ticket is 15 aed per person and takes around 2 to 3 hours to check out the whole place. The sharjah Aquarium opens at 1.30 noon. Kids love the place. Overall I think it can be better. But we had a good time. Do remember that the transportation isn't easy from Sharjah to back to Dubai.
Positive experience: Good place for a 1 hours tour in the aquarium and the attached ā boatā Museum Same ticket for both places Not much of a tourist attraction inside but fish tanks with different sizes, Has a nice cafe at the end of the tour with good view Ventilation inside the place could be better, specially in the open tank area.
Fantastic experience: Tickets are very cheap. Aquarium is small but beautiful. Was a very calming experience. Thereās a cafeteria which you can sit and have your food with a great view but they donāt have card payments. Has prayer areas and clean bathrooms. Thereās a shop at the exist where you can buy little plush toys for cheap. You can also use the same ticket to go to the Marine museum on the other side of the road. Both staffs are very welcoming and friendly. Specially the lady in the aquarium reception ā¤ļø

Fantastic experience: Perfect for the kids and kids at heart who love to see aquatic marine life in the middle of a busiest city. The ticket price is for thee 2 museum, 1 for aquarium and 1 for marine musem.
Fantastic experience: We went to Sharjah aquarium last Friday. There were so many fish. Actually so many varieties. Soothing and relaxing experience. We loved it. With the same ticket we can go to the museum, Situated next to aquarium.
