Parent Review: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

A 10-million litre tank inside Dubai Mall with a walk-through tunnel, King Croc, glass-bottom boat, and cage snorkeling.

We visited on a weekday morning and found it perfectly manageable with a double stroller. Here’s what stood out and what to watch for.
