NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

First of the many options of indoor activities in Abu Dhabi based in the Galleria is the National Geographic Ultimate Explorer.

This is the first of its kind in the region, but we expect growth with its vast popularity and success on Al Maryah Island.

The Ultimate Explorer
Indoor activities in Abu Dhabi

The idea behind this fascinatingly creative indoor experience is to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, thinkers and explorers!

The experience is a blend of augmented reality, virtual reality and 3D technology to create a fully immersive play-based learning experience for children between 5-12.

This immersive family experience allows visitors to visit space in their shuttle, chat to a panda, programme a robot based on Mars and much more.

The experience offers something for each age group and interest with activities such as:

  • Upcycling – here, kids can get creative and create something new by reusing materials within a painting or sculpture or anything they can think of. They can bring this home afterwards.
  • Mission Mars – kids can use their programming skills to control a robot that is drilling on Mars. They must figure out the controls and direct the robot correctly before making it safely back to base before the mission is over.
  • Space Jump – the older kids can explore space within the AR experience. There are two options to choose from, floating in space or driving a rover on Mars!
  • Wild River Recon – another AR experience, is based in the rainforest! Children can experience exploring the rainforest in search of exotic animals that they can take pictures of with their AR equipment.
  • Canopy Climbers – this activity is most popular among the younger kids. It helps develop motor skills while also using their brain as they climb and explore this rainforest play area.

  • Crittercam live – in this experience, kids can live their dream of talking to animals! Within this theatre, children can use a Zoocoder to have an interactive conversation with a giant panda!

If all that isn’t enough to convince you that this will be a big win for the kids, we don’t know what is!

FIT 4 FUN

Another Galleria Mall favourite, Fit 4 Fun. Over the last couple of years, the UAE has implemented several activations and initiatives in an attempt to make the country healthier.

As a result of the climate and culture, UAE residents have not been very successful in terms of physical and mental health.

Fit for Fun - Indoor activities

To encourage residents to improve their health, many health and fitness activities and initiatives have been implemented across the country.

Abu Dhabi has done exceptionally well with this and many of these sports, activities and clubs have successfully encouraged the health and wellness of the capital’s residents.

Fit 4 Fun is yet another great initiative. Developed mainly for children but suitable for all, Fit 4 Fun has taken over a large space in the Galleria and offers lots of activities to help keep the kids fit and healthy while the weather is hot!

THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM

Without a doubt, one of the best indoor activities in Abu Dhabi for kids and parents alike has to be The National Aquarium. The National Aquarium opened in late 2021 in Abu Dhabi and has grown in popularity ever since.

This aquarium is the largest in the Middle East and is home to over 46,000 different animals! The National Aquarium assure the public that all of these 46,000 animals are cared for accordingly by the 80+ marine experts employed there.

The National Aquarium
Indoor activities in Abu Dhabi

Interestingly, the aim of the National Aquarium is not just to educate and inspire people about marine life. Their ambition is actually to become the largest and one of the most innovative rehabilitation schemes for sea life.

This aims to protect and rehabilitate marine life in Abu Dhabi and the surrounding areas. They have already created a vehicle that has been designed to undergo animal rescues so that the National Aquarium can respond to animal emergencies.

Once collected, the injured animal is brought to the Aquarium, where it will undergo an assessment, treatment, rehab and be released once well enough.

When visiting this spectacular Aquarium, bear in mind that the experience has been split into ten key areas:

  1. UAE’s Natural Treasures

To pay respect to the rich history of Arabian pearl fishing, visitors can witness how oysters and pearls are naturally formed on the coasts of the Eastern Arabian Peninsula.

Pearl fishing was a large part of Arabic history and was the main reason the UAE came to enjoy fortunes.

  1. Red Sea Wreck

In this section, visitors are brought through a large shipwreck. This is fascinating to explore both because of the wreck and what remains and the hundreds of fish and coral that can be found in the Arabian Red Sea.

The design of this section resembles the wood that would be used on ships and the windows into the marine-life look like windows on a boat. These details make the entire exploration even more enjoyable.

One of the best creatures found in this section has to be the seahorses.

  1. Atlantic Cave

Again, the grand design of this section makes you feel as though you are in an underground cave. The cave-like walls are full of natural stalactites and stalagmites.

This section allows visitors to feel as though they are in a deep cave anywhere across the world, with unique formations that have been created through plate tectonics and erosion over thousands and thousands of years!

Best indoor activities in Abu Dhabi
Indoor activities in Abu Dhabi

The creatures around this area cleverly hide and swim through the nooks and crannies as they try to find safe habitats to breed in.

  1. The Sub

In this section, visitors are transported to what feels like a submarine, fully submerged under the sea. Here you can find some of the less well-recognised creatures, many with hard shells which are difficult to distinguish as creatures at all!

In this section lies the Nautilus. A large marina mollusc, related to the squid, octopus and cuttlefish. You will see this large shell-looking creature in one of the tanks in the centre.

You will have to get lucky to catch the Nautilus pop up from its hard exterior shell!

  1. Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire is the longest chain of volcanoes in the world, located on the outskirts of the Pacific Ocean.

This section is fascinating and educational as there is a short video describing where the Ring of Fire can be found and what happens there.

There is also an interactive sand area where visitors can mould their sand to create the Ring of Fire with the help of the projectors overhead. Then watch as the volcanoes erupt right in front of you!

Interestingly, while volcanic eruptions can be catastrophic for humans and animals, they do serve a purpose in enriching the earth with nutrients and components.

Exploring the marine life in these sections becomes even more interesting when you learn how they must adapt to the ever-changing environment within this Ring of Fire.

  1. Ocean Magic

This section is beautifully curated by showcasing the marine life in beautiful settings to show their versatility and adaptation skills.

In this section, there are beautiful lights and UV that showcase the fascinating creatures that light up or glow under water.

Also, it is here that lies one of the most popular exhibits of the whole Aquarium, the Mini Cooper, filled with swimming fish!

See if you can spot more sea horses here and one of the most fascinating creatures, cousin to the seahorse, a stick-like creature that bobs in and out of the seafloor!

Many of the creatures in this section have had to adapt and behave accordingly so that they can protect themselves in this dangerous part of the sea!

  1. Frozen Ocean

This section is a very popular as visitors emerge from the deep sea and arrive in the ‘giant ice cap’. Visitors will experience Arctic sea birds like puffins and penguins here as well as various types of fish that live in these icy conditions.

These icy areas are not only home to the wildlife in these areas. This section also plays a significant role in maintaining planet temperatures to ensure other parts of the world are suitable for animals to breed and thrive.

  1. The Flooded Forrest

This section will be another family favourite. Stepping into the Rainforest, visitors will get to explore a range of animals, from snakes, fish and birds.

A popular resident in this area is the ‘Super Snake’. A resident in the UAE for 14 years, the Super Snake weighs 115kg, is 7 metres long, takes 12 people to carry, is an excellent swimmer and has a preferred diet of ducks and rabbits!

Here visitors can also come very close to Toucans, Flamingos, Parrots and lots of other rainforest creatures!

The National Aquarium
Indoor activities in Abu Dhabi

The birds aren’t in cages which makes this section all the more enjoyable as they can fly over you and you can get close while watching them eat, drink and bathe.

It is only fitting that this area is so popular among guests as the Rainforest plays such a vital role in our ecosystem.

Interestingly, the Rainforest is home to over 50% of the world’s biodiversity, yet it only covers 2% of the Earth’s surface!

  1. Bu Tinah Island

Another highly popular section of the Aquarium and a much-snapped area, where visitors walk through a corridor with 180-degree views of the Aquarium. This section is fascinating as you feel surrounded by large fish, sharks and sting rays swimming over and beside you!

  1. Behind the scenes

There are a couple of add-on experiences that visitors can avail of during their Aquarium trip. Visitors can go ‘Beyond the glass’ where they can get closer to the action and also cross the glass bridge with wildlife swimming below.

Visitors can also choose the Bu Tinah Dhow experience, where they will be taken on a boat tour through the aquarium to get closer to the action. The boat also has a glass bottom!

There are a few other options worth mentioning, like the Junior Marine Biologist, where kids aged 5 – 15 can experience what it’s like to be a marine biologist with a hands-on workshop.

There is also an option for visitors to scuba dive in the National Aquarium. To find the prices, check out their website.
