Dubai Aquarium tickets: AED 199 official, from AED 142 at Rayna

The cheapest way into the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is Rayna’s general admission at AED 142, AED 57 under the official Silver pass at AED 199 for anyone aged 2 or over. Headout and Tiqets match the official AED 199, GetYourGuide starts at AED 213, and Klook lists only its AED 400 Platinum pass (checked 2 November 2026). UAE residents pay AED 169 for Silver on the official site, so Rayna is lower still.

Rayna’s ticket names the tunnel, zoo and Penguin Cove but not the AED 20 shop voucher that Silver includes. Apart from Rayna the plain ticket ties, so for Gold and Platinum choose on the tier you want and on the terms, not on the seller.

Dubai Aquarium ticket prices: official vs resellers

Prices are per person, the lowest each seller showed. Reseller prices change, so trust the live table further down this page over any figure written here.

Ticket	Official	Cheapest reseller	Who
Silver	AED 199	AED 142	Rayna (Headout and Tiqets AED 199, GetYourGuide AED 213)
Silver, UAE resident	AED 169	Not tracked	Official site only
Gold	AED 269	AED 268.75	Headout
Platinum	AED 399	AED 397.75	Headout (Klook AED 400)
Under 2	Free	Not tracked	Check the seller’s age rules

Our live table tracks the Silver ticket, and the Silver row shows Rayna’s general admission, which we re-read on 3 November. Rayna’s page offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before. The official Gold and Platinum prices are what we read on the operator’s booking page on 31 October 2026, and the reseller Gold and Platinum figures are Headout’s listed variants. GetYourGuide’s price moves with the option and date, and it has shown about AED 199 on another day. Klook’s page offers only the premium Platinum pass, so it is not a like-for-like price.

What each tier includes

• Silver (AED 199): the Aquarium Tunnel, the Underwater Zoo, the Rainforest and Penguin Cove & Nursery, plus one AED 20 shop voucher. The voucher needs a minimum spend of AED 40, on the same day, in the official store.
• Gold (AED 269): everything in Silver, plus a glass-bottom boat tour, fish feeding, an AED 20 food and beverage voucher and 30 percent off animal encounters, except birds and reptiles. The discount is redeemed at the counter.
• Platinum (AED 399): everything in Gold, plus skip-the-line entry, one animal encounter, a mini souvenir, two digital photos and a Play DXB voucher for five games, not rides.

Gold costs AED 70 more than Silver, and the boat ride itself lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. Platinum costs AED 130 more than Gold. The official site charges AED 130 for the penguin and King Croc encounters, so Gold plus one encounter at 30 percent off comes to about AED 360. That is AED 39 less than Platinum, which then buys you only the queue skip, photos and souvenir.

Residents, families and combos

• UAE residents: AED 169 for Silver, 15 percent off, though Rayna’s general admission at AED 142 is lower.
• Four people: the official “4 for 3” pass was AED 597 for four Silver entries, AED 149.25 each (read 31 October 2026). Four tickets at Rayna’s AED 142 cost AED 568.
• Burj Khalifa combo: Headout, Tiqets and GetYourGuide list the Aquarium plus Burj Khalifa levels 124 and 125 at AED 319 (Klook AED 343 on 3 November 2026), against AED 388 bought separately at the official prices, or AED 331 with Rayna for both parts (AED 188.99 for the Burj and AED 142 for the Aquarium). The operator’s own site also sells an Aquarium and At the Top combo, listed at AED 279 on 31 October. We did not confirm which age or time-slot terms apply, so compare it with AED 319 before you buy. See our Burj Khalifa and Dubai Aquarium combo guide, the Burj Khalifa ticket guide and the Burj Khalifa price table.
• Go City: the Explorer, All-Inclusive and Essentials passes include the Aquarium, valued at USD 54.19, about AED 199. Use the Go City pass calculator or read whether the pass is worth it if the Aquarium is one stop among several.

Hours and how long to allow

The operator lists Monday to Friday 11:00 to 21:00 and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 to 21:00, with last entry at 20:15, every day of the year. Some reseller pages show different hours, so go by the operator’s.

Allow about two hours. The operator says the tunnel takes 15 to 30 minutes and the Underwater Zoo, on Level 2, 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Presentations and the boat add time, and the operator advises booking the boat ride early at its entrance on Level 2. A ticket is for one entry on one day, and re-entry is not allowed. You can buy at the counter or online.

Children and rules

Silver, Gold and Platinum cost the same for adults and for children aged 2 and over. Under 2s enter Silver free but are not eligible for Gold or Platinum. Children under 15 must be with an adult aged 15 or over. Both Gold and Platinum are listed as not applicable to pregnant guests.

The shark and marine life viewing panel outside the attraction, in Dubai Mall, can be seen without a ticket.

How to book it cheapest
