The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a double-hitter for kids interested in aquatic life. Located on the ground level of the Dubai Mall, it’s the largest suspended aquarium in the world, housing 140 animal species and over 300 different kinds of sharks. Kids can spectate while professional divers lure sharks with buckets of bait, bringing the creatures just feet away from the glass enclosure. At the underwater zoo, be sure to set aside some time to see King Croc, a crocodile that’s still expected to grow beyond its present weight of 1000 pounds. Children who are more technologically-inclined will probably be interested in the aquarium’s newest addition: a virtual reality zoo. There, they can watch gorillas roam through the jungle, or follow a herd of elephants through the Sahara.
