If you need a customized "Dubai + Abu Dhabi" combined itinerary, just let me know~
This ticket is really great value, the price is much cheaper than buying on site! ! ! Especially the endless ocean is definitely worth seeing, very shocking visual enjoyment, a park can be a while fare
The large aquarium in the pure room, fully covered by air conditioning, can experience the four seasons, have to sigh the wealth of the United Arab Emirates. There are 360 panoramic stands, oversized aquarium, penguin pavilion, walrus, sea lion, seal, dolphin show, flamingo, etc. in the pavilion, very shopping. The manta roller coaster is fun.
Buying tickets directly at the entrance of the park is very fast, much cheaper than the on-site ticket of the park. At the same time, within 270 days of entering the second park, you can flexibly arrange the time of the next park to facilitate the next entrance.
Abu Dhabi Sea World, strolled for almost four hours, it was really good. The Penguin Pavilion is very cold and has to wear down jackets. The Walrus Pavilion is very stinky, all smelly, but ugly and ugly. The endless sea is very interesting and can take a deep sea feeling. The 360-degree panoramic screen is also worth it, visual enjoyment
It is worth a visit, the water quality is good, and although you can go shopping in an hour, globally, this scale is already large, and there are performances in the afternoon, it is very interesting, remember to go to the front row early. SeaWorld can tour with other theme parks nearby in a day, Trip.com package is more cost-effective, but if it is not the off-season (during Ramadan), it is estimated that there will be queues, which will be very time-consuming. There is a VIP ticket that does not need to queue up first, and the park ticket is almost the same price. It is useful in the peak season. If you don't care about the money, you can buy it, so as not to queue for about an hour for Warner Bros. theme park, but the off-season is really unnecessary.
It is indeed worthwhile to devote a lot of effort to creating the best experience.
It's too bright, super big, and I've been shopping for five hours.
Like Warner Bros. Paradise, it is more convenient to scan the entrance with the QR code. There is a security check at the door. You can not bring food and drinks. You can enter the main square. 5 entrances can enter the play separately. The seal performance is still good. The penguin world needs thick clothes. It is too cold. The staff are standing in down jackets. The children's playground also has a roller coaster jumping machine. The most shocking thing is Liu Yifei's 20-meter aquarium glass aquarium escalator. It is worth a compact park for 3 to 4 hours.
