The views are spectacular — you see Dubai’s skyline, desert and the Arabian Gulf stretching out in all directions. The telescopes help zoom in on landmarks below, and sunset visits give gorgeous photos.  • The ride up in the elevator is fast and fun — one of the world’s quickest elevators.  • Once on the observation decks (124 & 125), you get panoramic 360° views indoors and outdoors, with great photo spots.

I decided to do the aquarium first as my slot for Burj Khalifa was at 5:00 PM. The aquarium was amazing with a lot of fishes, jellyfish, seahorses, crocodiles, penguins, otters, and other creatures. The best part was that I got to see the staff there feeding both crocodiles while one of the guides gave us information about the crocodiles as well as their feeding techniques. The aquarium experience was amazing, and a person can easily spend about 2 hours and more exploring everything included in the ticket. There were tickets available for snorkeling, penguin encounter, etc. too! Though I didn't do any of it, it looks absolutely fun! Coming on to Burj Khalifa, the process is decently paced from getting your tickets to heading inside where the lift to the upper floor is. Though, the queue is pretty long so having a fast track ticket will cut down half the waiting time. The view from the top was absolutely beautiful! We got to see the transition from sunset-ish sky to night lights. The fountain show from the top view was fantastic! The only thing is that there's always a big queue for the Burj Khalifa, and even with a fast track ticket, it'll cut down only half the waiting time in the regular ticket. While I was trying to shop, I also noticed that they used very dim lights, and as a person with partial night blindness, it was difficult for me to navigate the souvenir aisles in the dim light. The said souvenirs were decently priced with USD and Euro currency conversion mentioned on some of the price board. The overall experience was nice. And buying online ticket surely saved a good amount of money.

First of all it was less expensive than at the counter and dint have to wait, the entry went silky smooth. It's a must visit place for tourists especially travelling with family and kids. Beautiful setting of flowers from round the world. The emirates plane, teddy and peacock are artistic masterpieces. Enough refreshment areas and toilets.

#This park is huge and very clean and organized. There are plenty of parking, free and paid. Visiting the pavilions were nice but there are only shops inside. I wish they had some more cultural and/or typical things about each country. Some more history about the places but it’s only shop. There are plenty of food trucks and they du have a nice area full of rides for those who want to have more fun! The rides are not included on the main entrance. I recommend buying the tickets in advance online to save time and money.

Great experience, loved the food & the staff were very warm and helpful. One thing that could be improved is there is way bit too much crowd on the boat, apart from that this is a must visit experience in Dubai!
