The Wonders of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi

Below the surface of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi lies an aquatic wonderland, where you can discover eight different ‘realms’, each one packed full of thrilling rides and attractions.

1. One Ocean

One Ocean stands out as the park’s hub and is the gateway to the other intriguing realms. It's also a place where you can delve into the fascinating One Ocean stories through an immersive 360-degree media show.

A must-visit stop in this zone is the Animal Care Center, where you will witness firsthand the exceptional care standards for the park's marine animals given by veterinarians and animal care specialists. Onsite educators are also available to share insights and facts about animal physiology and behavior, as well as answer questions. 

2. Abu Dhabi Ocean

The Abu Dhabi Ocean realm offers an exploration into the marine ecosystem of the Arabian Gulf, coupled with a peek into the historical narratives of Bedouin families who trawled the waters for precious pearls to barter.

It houses interactive touch pools that invite visitors to interact with unique sea species. Moreover, it provides opportunities to observe dugongs, sea turtles, and bamboo sharks in a naturalistic habitat. 

You can also enjoy a bit of retail therapy here with Souk Al-Seef and Dukkan Al Tawash. The former offers a taste of local culture and shopping, while the latter presents an interesting collection of pearls. 

3. Rocky Point

Rocky Point is home to The Sea Lions’ Coastal Habitat. Simulated in the rich landscape of America’s Pacific Northwest, this sanctuary is alive with sea lions lounging on rocks, interacting with playful barks, and braving the turbulent waters. 

The Rocky Point environment nurtures its inhabitants, both above and below water. With the aid of technology, it successfully mirrors the natural conditions of water currents, wave patterns, and light, thereby helping resident aquatic animals feel right at home. 

Here, you can observe the sea lions, seals, otters and birds at play with one another in the Sea Lions Presentation. And even feed them with their favorite snack: fish!

If you’re visiting SeaWorld Abu Dhabi with your family, then MicroOcean is the place to be. This zone features many interactive experiences and exciting rides designed to entertain both kids and adults.

A few highlights there include OctoZoom, a fun ride that takes you on a journey through the waters like an octopus. There's also the Jelly Plunge, where you can feel the rush as you oscillate, push, and climb through the water column before dropping back into the depths.

And when you’re in the mood for a delectable snack, head over to Bitsy Bites, a homely cafe serving tasty treats.

Like The Arctic, Antarctica transports park visitors to a world of snow and ice within the Polar Ocean.
