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 – 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 you’re 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 – 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. It’s 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!

Athul Shaji 5 months ago

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. I’m 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.

Lakshmipriya Ganesh 5 months ago

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.

Juliet Ajaab 5 months ago

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: 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 visitors’ permission and create decorative 3D models, such as a ship with your photo inside, along with other unique designs. Though I’m 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.

Positive experience: Sharjah Aquarium is a great place to visit! The interior is beautifully designed, and there are so many different fish to see – it’s a fun and relaxing experience.

Yacine Alpha 1 year ago

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.

Mahmoud Abdel Salam 1 year ago

Jennifer Green 1 year ago

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 couldn’t 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.

Fazal Mohani 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Situated near the harbour and opposite to the Sharjah Maritime Museum, the Sharjah Aquarium is a must visit attraction in the city.

Hossain 1 year ago

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!

Sheraz Shaw 1 year ago

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 wasn’t 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,

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€˜ boat’ 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. There’s a cafeteria which you can sit and have your food with a great view but they don’t have card payments. Has prayer areas and clean bathrooms. There’s 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: Sharjah Aquarium offers families a delightful and educational outing, presenting a window into the aquatic life of the local seas. The exhibits, which include a range of sea creatures from majestic sharks to delicate starfish, are well-displayed, allowing for interactive and up-close encounters. The atmosphere is captivating for both children and adults, with the blue hues of the water creating a soothing backdrop for exploration. Priced reasonably, it represents an excellent choice for a weekend adventure, balancing fun with an informative glimpse into the marine ecosystem. This aquarium is certainly a must-visit for those looking to engage with sea life and spend quality time with family.

Positive experience: Surprisingly we had great time here . Not so big but it’s beautiful, clean and was not much crowded even on Sunday . Parking is not that much hard to find and it’s not difficult place to find with google map.

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. One more thing, senior citizen can enter without ticket .There is a small play area for kids.Its a good place to visit with your family and friends.Kids will enjoy it.
