The Lost World Aquarium

Come face-to-face with 65,000 marine creatures, dive with sharks, and walk underwater at The Lost Chambers Aquarium in Dubai’s Atlantis, The Palm hotel. This state-of-the-art aquarium is themed around the mythical Lost City of Atlantis and consists of illuminated underground chambers brimming with sea life from across the world. Truly Amazing UAE 🇦🇪 ❤️

Over-rated. We visited just a few weeks before it closed for upgrades.  It needs it.  Definitely glazed online - not as big or magnificent as it is made out to be.  Young children would probably enjoy it but for 2 adults and a 15 year old it was actually a little boring.  We literally asked staff where to go next to finish seeing everything when we walked into the gift shop at the end.

We were lucky enough to have the aquarium included in our stay at the Atlantis. Was perfect meandering our way through and marvelling at the creatures of the deep before our dinner in the evening. It was quite quiet and we had the chance to speak with some of the super knowledgeable staff, they were really engaging and clearly very passionate about their work. For me the highlight was the jelly fish display, which was beautifully lit - it was totally surreal being amongst the sea life down there!

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Price

I recently visited The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai with my parents and my 11-month-old daughter. I paid for 3 adult tickets (baby was free), expecting a worthwhile experience – but sadly, it was very underwhelming.

We were done walking through the entire aquarium in just 10-15 minutes. The exhibits were nice, but honestly, you can get a better view of the aquarium for free from the outside areas of the hotel, which makes the paid entry feel like a waste.

The real issue came when my daughter needed a diaper change. I was shocked to learn they don’t have proper baby-changing facilities inside. A staff member at the exit area told us to go outside the aquarium to change her. But when we returned, the lady at the entrance refused to let us back in – despite the fact that we had just been told we could re-enter. She did eventually anyway after a few discussion about it.

This shows a clear lack of communication between staff and left us feeling frustrated and disappointed. For a venue like Atlantis that caters to families and charges premium prices, I expected far better service and facilities.

I wouldn’t recommend this experience – especially if you’re visiting with a baby or expecting a long, enriching aquarium visit. Definitely not worth the price.

I visited The Lost Chambers Aquarium while staying at Atlantis The Aquaruim entry is free for hotel guests. Since it gets quite crowded during the day, I went in the evening and it was much quieter and more enjoyable. But I missed the feeding sessions held daily at 10:30am and 3:30pm, which was a bit disappointing. Just a heads up : flash photography is not allowed inside.
The aquarium is filled with fascinating marine life and I think children would absolutely love it. I recommend it for families with kids. There's also a combo ticket available with Aquaventure Waterpark, so visiting both in one day makes for a fun and well spent outing.

I enjoyed visiting the Lost Chambers Aquarium. The family will have a great time at the aquarium. Many activities are waiting for kids. Time will fly while you do not feel it. It is something different, and the word will not describe it. I recommend visiting it.

My Experience at The Lost Chambers Aquarium

Visiting The Lost Chambers Aquarium was an amazing experience! The variety of fish was incredible—so many colors and species, from tiny vibrant ones to massive rays and sharks gliding through the water. The sculptures and ruins designed like Atlantis made the whole place feel magical, almost like stepping into another world.

I loved how the huge glass panels and tunnels let you see everything up close.

Our visit to the Lost Chambers Atlantis was nothing short of spectacular! We arrived early around 10 am on a weekend, and I highly recommend this timing — it was the perfect way to experience the beauty of the exhibits before the crowds arrived. With a stunning array of marine life, each display felt like a vibrant window into the ocean's wonders, and we loved being able to take photos and videos throughout our visit to capture these incredible moments.
One of the highlights of our experience was a fascinating session with a knowledgeable representative who expertly explained the differences in shark teeth. It was not only educational but also engaging, making our visit even more memorable.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, adding a warm touch to our adventure. They were always available to answer questions and share their passion for marine conservation.
Don't forget to check out the souvenir shop before you leave! It has a great selection of unique items to remind us of this amazing day.
Overall, the Lost Chambers Atlantis is a must-visit for anyone who loves marine life.

We had a great time at the aquarium. There are a huge variety of fishes and the water is very clean and well maintained. Parking is provided along with a shuttle service. Clean bathroom is accessible and got good offers online. There’s an arcade as well as a water park nearby

The Lost Chambers Aquarium on Palm Jumeirah provides a spectacular view inside its chambers, showcasing mesmerizing marine life. However, the experience falls short when compared to renowned global aquariums, leaving visitors wishing for a more extended exploration of the underwater wonders.

The lost chambers aquarium.i stayed in palm Atlantis for two nights and if you are a guest in palm this aquarium tour is absolutely free of cost and I happened to notice a lot of people entering and exiting the lost chambers very quickly they don't even wait to see the beauty of this ocean creature when. Wait and watch the magic 🪄 as light touches this animals they glow in the dark and you can see through. With different colour reactions it was amazing

Incredible location! Spending quality time with family, exploring diverse fish and engaging in fantastic water activities made it a delightful experience. The place is lovely, and the marine atmosphere truly felt like being submerged beneath the sea!

Well we went here as we had the tickets and it is in the same location as the water park. The big giant aquarium was brilliant!! The sharks and the rays majestically swimming around... Never get tired seeing a ray swimming, such a beauty. We had the Dubai city pass which was well worth it, so we saw this attraction as well as we were at the water park. I wouldn't have gone just to see this by itself. Don't forget to follow your way around to see the giant aquarium. It's pretty cool.

Great place to visit and see aquatic life. The theme of lost chambers is really unique and as you enter it feels like an underwater cave wherein you can see sea life all around you. There are so many species that you are left wondering how to identify them. But, for that you can just scan the QR code around and find all the info you need with just a click of your camera. Wonderful place for family.

Spent shorter time here than expected. The big tank exhibit is exciting and holds a lot of big fish that look reasonably happy. An open tank in the same section had leopard-print sting rays that were friendly. Enjoyed our time here but it’s smaller than excited.

great experience for the kids with so much sealife to be seen

It’s amazing how big is the aquarium. To sit there and watch the fish is mesmerizing. I really recommend the experience at least to see the main tank, that has a huge variety of enormous fishes and sharks. Also, the aquarium has lots of different fishes, jellyfishes and other animals.

Amazing place! This is a must to see for everyone visiting Dubai Palm. Mysterious Lost Atlantis artifacts combined with breathtaking aquariums and underwater beings. All done and created till the last detail. Pity there are not many interesting objects in the souvenir shop, we would love to buy some Atlantis dedicated goods.

This is another must visit when in Dubai. Loved the aquarium. Please carry a good camera if you visit here as you can click some really nice pics if you have one. You may come across the in house photographers which ain't good. Avoid them and if you don't have a camera tell them how to click pics. It's fun place you will spend few hours admiring the sea creatures up and close.

We booked a family day out to The Lost Chambers over the National Day holidays through Qidz UAE app. I'd highly recommend buying tickets from the app itself because firstly it was discounted to AED 48 per person (savings!!) and secondly we didn't had to wait in the long queue (which was expected since it was a holiday time). Our e tickets were scanned and wrists stamped ready to explore The Lost Chambers.

Once inside, my little one was mesmerized with different species of fish, some he could recognize while others very new to him. The artefacts have been carefully placed to give the feel of a sunken island which my little one was very intrigued of. I'd also recommend looking up stories of Atlantis to understand The Lost Chambers better and explain to the little curious minds. They'll be hooked! 

Thanks to @qidz_app for the spooky-venture at The lost chambers aquarium @atlantisthepalm 👻
We loved how creepy the place was decorated. Haya experienced face painting, best costume competition and trick or treating.
☠
its a must place to visit if your children like spooky 😁

It's a great aquarium with lots of fish and other creatures
Kids love this place
The price is reasonable considering the time you can spend inside the aquarium

I like this aquarium with their Atlantis history. Not many kind of fishes but beautiful. If you just want to see fishes and don’t care about decoration, do not need to enter as you can see fishes from shopping mall walkside.

Most interesting aquarium I have been to hands down. It's not very big but the exhibits are interesting. The moray eels are amazing.

It's an amazing experience to be there, the positivity and the calmness you experience there is boundless. The aquarium houses school of fishs throughout the world at a single place. Other fishes which requires special conditions are kept sperate. It's the best aquarium till far I have ever seen.

Quite a good place. Has amazing maine life. Make sure to install the game and keep playing in the list chambers. Also if possible do try to get a chance to see food feeding to the animals, it's amazing

I've been three times after moving to Dubai and enjoyed it every time. To get in, valet park for free a the The Lost chambers entrance. Once through to the aquarium, you're met with some of the most creative fish and sea life displays I've ever seen. The main aquarium is massive and full of different species of sharks. There are very well-illuminated jelly fish displays that look like a work of art. The whole experience is breath-taking. There are some great dining options after the visit right outside the exit.

Beautiful aquarium. The shark tank is the highlight with so many great fish. I didn't do the adventure tour but that is probably nice as well. The whole area is decorated as a sort of treasure hunt, like you're Indiana Jones. Information is digital, which is fine, although I like it old fashioned. They have pillows in front of the big tanks so you can take some relaxing time to watch the fish. I think some hotel rooms have a view on the aquarium. That must be awesome.

You're gonna need a taxi to reach Atlantis The Palm complex where the aquarium takes place. Main attraction is of course the big pool with tons of fishes from sharks to manta rays and many many others.  I would place it right after the acquarium in the Dubai Mall in terms of experience and variety of species to see. Therefore should you lack of time prefer the latter.

Not really worth the visit if you're on a budget. The aquarium is great, and the Atlantis themed decoration makes for a fun outing, but it's very expensive for a quick walkthrough (less than an hour).
As far as I know, residents at the hotel have free access, though.
If money isn't an issue for you, definitely experience it!
I would much rather suggest a long walk along the boardwalk around the palm crescent.

The lost chambers is one excellent place. Home to some exciting sea animals, this place is awesome for family of all ages. Random, comfortable and cosy seating areas make it an even more lovable place. One can relax on these seats and enjoy the expansive view of the varied sea animals.

As I was staying in the hotel it was free the aquarium itself is one of the best aquariums I’ve ever seen and as I went on the aqua trek I saw it in more detail it was an fantastic experience!

Considering we are staying at the hotel, this is included in the fees and it's a must see. We do enjoy just watching the fish go by and speaking to staff who can tell us stories about what they know. Generally we enjoyed the visit. But not one where we could spend hours in. Max 45mins, making it almost about the same 'size' as the aquarium at Dubai Mall where we also spent max 45mins. Price is at the pricey end but well worth to come in and see grouper conservation and some beautiful clown fish and Himalayan crocodile. Otherwise the largest tank is one you can see from Atlantis hotel anyway.

This is lovely place located at Atlantis  on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah island in  Dubai. Its a pleasant experience to see wide range of fish and other marine creatures along with artistically crafted various artefacts in this huge aquarium. Watching marine animals moving while seating on soft seats on ground and relaxing is unforgettable experience. One can also enjoy scuba-diving here and go very close to sharks and other creatures.

Visited the lost chambers when I stayed in the hotel. It was very good, and lots to do. Though takes about an hour to two hours to get through depending on the person, not sure I’d be willing to come here and pay he prices as does seem to be rather expensive if your not staying in the hotel. Though kids will love it.

I visited here about 6/7 years ago and have always told everyone since "its the best aquarium I've ever been to!" It was huge and I easily spent over an hour in it. 
This time I was excited to take my young children to it and expected to see the same thing. Except.....it's now about half the size. Where has it all gone? A little disappointed given it's over-inflated admission price. The kids enjoyed it but we struggled to pad out 30 minutes. A very expensive half hour! I won't be going again and it's definitely lost the best aquarium title for me. Shame.

I am going to write this review as a person who visited the aquarium 7 years ago and once again today.  Unfortunately, this is now no longer the aquarium experience that is used to be (where is the absolutely ginormous grouper with one eye gone?).  

The aquarium was approximately twice the size 7 years ago and this is the first time that I have ever experienced an attraction get smaller and worse.

There is now a halving of the overall number of tanks and the signature 'massive glass wall' is behind a secondary area that you have to pay to get into on top of the aquarium entry price.  To say that I am disappointed at the overt commercialism on display here is an understatement.  

What was a great attraction has been turned mediocre by the short sighted powers that be.  Whoever made this decision should think hard about it as rather than 'wow' it is now merely 'meh'.

When I visited last time it took me about am hour and a half to walk around and this time I as in and out within a half hour!  (So is it now actually 1/3rd the size it was??)

Would I go again? No.
Would I recommend it to anybody? Probably not.

If you want a distinctly average experience then give it a go, but there are better ways to spend your £25 entry.

Lost chambers visit is a great experience for kids and adults alike. It show cases a vast array of sea life in a great ambience. Atlantis itself is a gem in Dubai and lost chambers is a unique part of this destination. Good to recommend for all.

This is a massive aquarium that is include the the Atlantis The Palm hotel. There are beautiful displays with very nice colour effects. The centrepiece is the huge fish tank which is about 8 metres deep and which is filled with an extensive selection of fish including several types of sharks. The attraction is included for hotel guests and take about 45 minutes to go through. If you have time, it is nice and relaxing to just sit in front of the fish tank for a much longer period.

Sea will be live here. You will feel lost in beauty of this. Very nice place to visit if you are coming to AQUAVENTURE. Varied fishes and sea creatures will be here for your curiosity. You feel you are near them. It's totally on you how much time you want to spend here with marine life live.

Loved this place. Unlike other places I have been to it is spacious and easy to get around and big enough to look around properly

Not that I'm an aquarium enthusiast but I've been to a few and this one was very nice. Lighting/music were spot on and a lovely selection of fish. We even got to see feeding time in the manta ray area. Passes were free bc we stayed at the Atlantis, the Palm but I'm not sure if we would've gone had we not been staying there. Excellent as far as aquariums go but not a 'must see' in Dubai.

Amazing collection of marine animals. The staff were very helpful and the gift shop was not to over priced. 

Amazing place to visit. The collection of salt water fish is enormous. And we witnessed the live feeding of sting rays at 3:45 pm. New cushion mattresses are provided at the large viewing windows within is wonderful allows visitors to spend some time resting on it and taking in the views.

Really nice aquarium and worth the visit after you've been to the water park next door. It really calms you down after a busy at the park 

Very nice immersive yet educational experience. Be sure to download the Lost Chambers App which will walk you through the place and let you read about the species. Also if you are staying at the hotel try and watch the fish feeding at 10:15 AM. They intentionally do it close to the glass pane to give you a good view. 

For shopping freaks as well as for luxury fans, Dubai offers  innumerable opportunities. As I love nature, the aquarium is always the best escape. The whole concept of Atlantis - the world lost  in the sea - is perfect. It's convincing showing (artificial) artifacts, such as pieces of buildings, constructions, statues, etc., under-water with fish and other sea creatures moving around and through them. It's soothing, calming the mind and inspiring imagination. Visitors' interactions are interesting to observe. Immerse in the lost Atlantis, admire the sea life and relax; this is the mission of this lovely place.
