Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis Dubai is a fascinating experience, especially for families and marine life lovers. The layout is beautifully designed with impressive displays of various species, including sharks, rays, and exotic fish. The ambiance inside truly reflects the mythical lost city theme, making it visually stunning and immersive. The educational elements and interactive touchpoints are a great bonus, especially for kids. However, the visit felt a bit short for the price paid, and it can get quite crowded during peak hours, slightly affecting the overall experience. Still, the variety of marine life and the peaceful underwater atmosphere make it well worth a visit. A great place to relax, explore, and appreciate the ocean world.

Love, love, love this place! Amazing set up, quality aquarium displays with a vast array of sea creature all made up to feel like you are living in the lost world of Atlantis. Wonderful graphics and lighting accentuate the experience, giving a very unique, and lively atmosphere. This was the perfect place for us adults as well as our children ages 2 years and 9 years. There was even a live mermaid show that you cannot miss. We all had such a great time - highly recommend!

We were lucky enough to have the aquarium included in our stay at the Atlantis. Was perfect meandering our way through and marvelling at the creatures of the deep before our dinner in the evening. It was quite quiet and we had the chance to speak with some of the super knowledgeable staff, they were really engaging and clearly very passionate about their work. For me the highlight was the jelly fish display, which was beautifully lit - it was totally surreal being amongst the sea life down there!

Safety & Insider tips

Crowd hacks and small details that make the visit smoother.

Safety Tips

Stay safe and secure

1

Keep a close eye on children at all times. The aquarium can get crowded, and there are many water features and potential hazards. Establish a meeting point in case you get separated.

2

Be aware of your surroundings, especially your personal belongings. While Dubai is generally safe, petty theft can occur in crowded tourist areas. Keep valuables secure and be cautious of pickpockets.

3

If you have any allergies, particularly to seafood, be mindful of food options available in the aquarium's dining areas. Always check the ingredients before consuming anything.

4

Stay hydrated, especially during the hotter months. The aquarium is indoors, but walking around can still be tiring. Carry a water bottle and refill it at designated areas.

5

Familiarize yourself with the aquarium's emergency exits and procedures. In case of an emergency, follow the instructions of the staff and remain calm.

Insider Tips

Pro traveler secrets

1

Take advantage of the free guided tours to learn more about the marine life and the aquarium's design. Check the schedule upon arrival and join a tour that interests you.

2

Plan your visit around the feeding times to witness the divers interacting with the marine animals. It's a great opportunity for photos and learning about the creatures.

3

Explore the lesser-known areas of the aquarium, such as the touch tank, to get a hands-on experience with some of the marine life. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the animals.

4

If you are staying at Atlantis, take advantage of the free admission to the aquarium. It's a great perk for hotel guests and allows you to visit multiple times.

5

Bring a good camera with a decent low-light performance to capture clear photos of the marine life. Flash photography is usually discouraged as it can disturb the animals.
