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.

They are very safe to feed, and they will make anyone smile.

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.
