Visitors to The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi will have an added reason to plan a visit this month. From 19th March to 31st March, guests purchasing aquarium tickets will receive complimentary entry to The Butterfly Gardens Abu Dhabi.
Those who visit will experience two nature attractions in one trip, with the opportunity to explore the aquarium’s marine habitats before stepping into a lush indoor garden filled with rare and eye-catching butterflies.
A Two-In-One Nature Experience
Both located at Al Qana, The Butterfly Gardens sit right beside the aquarium, creating a natural pairing for visitors.
During this promotional period, anyone who has purchased an aquarium ticket can step straight into the gardens at no additional cost.
For those who are interested in marine wildlife or lepidoptera, it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy two immersive attractions in a single outing.
Inside The Butterfly Gardens
Within the climate-controlled domes, the butterflies roam freely, creating a truly interactive environment where nature takes centre stage.
Each area introduces guests to different butterfly species, exotic plants, and fascinating wildlife, transforming a simple walk into a journey across continents.
The butterflies are confident and show no hesitation when showing off their beauty to people inside. Plenty of moments for photos, as the butterflies land on visitors and make themselves comfortable with no fear.
You’ll also spot other wildlife along the way, including the Cuvier’s Dwarf Caiman, the Tamandua Anteater, Koi Fish, and the Sri Lankan Giant Squirrel.
What To Expect at the National Aquarium
The National Aquarium is home to thousands of marine creatures across immersive exhibits.
Guests can walk through stunning glass tunnels, watch feeding sessions, or join interactive experiences that bring the ocean to life.
It’s a perfect family-friendly outing that combines education with awe-inspiring sea-life visuals.
With children on half-term this week and Eid celebrations approaching, this is a unique indoor nature experience in the capital.
