    While the Museum of the Future may not seem as technologically advanced as some of our domestic museums in terms of its form, its concepts are quite forward-thinking. Children can see some high-tech gadgets, and adults can find it very inspiring to carefully read the explanations and understand the advanced ideas. In short, these kinds of places are not just for entertainment, but also for intellectual stimulation.

    It's quite small and I walked around it in ten minutes. I happened to see the fish feeding and it was quite lively. The discounted ticket I bought on Ctrip was not expensive and it was OK. If you want to see a big one, go to Dubai Mall or the one in Abu Dhabi. This one is suitable for those staying in or near Palm Island.

    We had the VIP package and I’m glad we did because we were waited on fantastically by our host and the amount of people there was amazing, the queue for the food on the normal package was huge but the VIP package entailed that our food was served to us..The food was endless with fish, meat and all served with a fantastic evening of entertainment..We will do this experience again.

    ## Dubai Aquarium: Suspended in the shopping center of the deep sea theater ** worth going? ** If you are traveling with your parents or obsessed with the giant ocean landscape, the visual impact of the 48-meter viewing window is definitely worth the fare**; but if you have experienced a top aquarium (such as Okinawa/Singapore), you may have limited surprises. **Core hegemony in scale and magic:** -**World's largest suspended viewing window**: in the atrium of Dubai Shopping Center, the three-story blue hole suddenly topped, hammerhead sharks like ghost fleets passing by, sardine storms whirled into liquid tornadoes**The absurdity of shopping is instantly replaced by deep sea fear Experience** -**Glass Bottom Boat Tunnel**: Take the elevator through the arch tunnel, the emperor's wingspan is three meters, and the reflection and entity are twisted into double behemoths in the arc glass **Hidden highlights in details:** 1. **Nighting shark side**: limited camping area to put sleeping bags in front of the viewing window, at 3 am reef shark green fins swim in dark blue like aliens 2.**Backfield breeding laboratory**: touching the leaf sea dragon that just broke eggs in the box, translucent body slightly trembling with the current 3. **Rainforest area reversal setting**: through the aquarium tunnel, the Amazon dome that roars monkeys, the toucans dive to grab food and trigger screaming**Reality considerations: **-**Basic tickets ≈¥300 only include the observation deck**, tunnel/glass boat needs to be superimposed ¥150+-The crowds are turbulent on weekends, **Doubling the admission experience at 10 am or 8 pm** - The exit is forced to pass through 59 souvenir shops, and the children's crash prevention warning**Summary:** This is essentially a surreal aquarium where business and spectacle coexist**. When you look up at Hermes window and see the shadows of tiger sharks and shopping bags overlap on the viewing window, you understand Dubai's ultimate logic - even the deep sea behemoths are the most shocking window models in luxury malls.

    It was a very cost-effective experience. The climate was very comfortable when I came to Dubai this season. Maybe it was because of the off-season, there were not many tourists in Legoland. I chose Moviegate and Legoland. Basically, more than 80% of the projects did not require queuing, and the children had a great time. I went there when the park opened in the morning and left when it was almost closed. The experience was very good.

    It's a great place. It's so hot in Dubai, but there's still such a large air-conditioned amusement park without sun exposure. It's rare. There are several areas and a large venue. The waiting time is less than 30 minutes, which is super friendly. It beats most amusement parks in China. The parks in Germany can't do this. There are two roller coasters in each area, which are quite exciting.

    The small shuttle buses shuttled between areas without getting tired at all. And there were plenty of misting systems every few meters, providing both coolness and humidity. Every animal seemed to be treated with kindness, and each animal's enclosure was meticulously designed and kept impeccably clean. There was no unpleasant odor throughout the entire zoo.
