Sharjah Aquarium

The Museum is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. from Saturdays to Thursdays, and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays and Sundays it is closed. To avoid crowds, visit Sharjah Aquarium first thing in the morning during Sharjah Tours. On International Museum Day on the 18th of May, Martyr's Day on the 1st of December, and UAE National Day on the 2nd of December, you can enter for free, although because it is free, it may be crowded.

Sharjah Aquarium has 20 tanks that reproduce various local aquatic ecosystems, such as coral reefs and rock pools, as well as lagoons and mangroves. The aquatic species in these ecosystems may be seen up close thanks to an enclosed boardwalk. If you are looking for some unique things to do in Sharjah try scheduling your visit with a planned fish feeding or talk for a family experience. Children will enjoy learning more about sea animals and playing on the interactive displays. 

The aquarium should be at the top of any list of Things to Do in Sharjah with kids, particularly for educational purposes. Sharjah residents usually bring their children here to learn about the local marine life. If the aquarium is on your list of places to visit in Sharjah at night, be sure to first watch the sunset at the gorgeous Al Khan beach. The views are similar to yet distinct from those on the Sharjah Corniche. Then, before it shuts in the late evening, take a brief tour of the aquarium. Your ticket includes admission to the Sharjah Maritime Institution, which provides more information about the coast than any other Sharjah museum. You will have seen three prominent Sharjah tourist attractions after visiting these locations.
