Looking for a fun way to entertain the kiddos this summer? The National Aquarium summer camp for kids has just launched and it looks like it’s going to be a smash with little explorers.
The Middle East’s largest aquarium is welcoming kids aged five to 13 years old to take part in its first-ever National Aquarium summer camp.

Do you have a future scientist in your family? The camp’s edutainment programme includes physical activities and brain-enriching engagements to keep the kids active.
The camp runs on weekdays until Friday August 26. Drop-off is between 8.30am and 9am and pickup is from 1.45pm to 2pm. The camp costs Dhs199 per day for one camper, or Dhs795 per week for one camper. There is a ten percent discount for siblings.
The National Aquarium summer camp has loads of activities to help the kids learn fun and exciting skills. They’ll learn how to grow their own beans, observe tiny creatures under professional microscopes and how to sort trash into recyclables through fun games.
Campers will also get the chance to interact with the aquarium’s animals and birds, detect garbage in a sea turtle’s stomach and receive an Animal Training 101 from qualified animal trainers.
Kids will also enjoy scavenger hunt competitions designed to help them engage with the natural world, arts and crafts contests for animals in the Flooded Forest, and creating their favourite animals with origami.
There are loads of cool things to do at The National Aquarium, including a visit with the world’s largest python and scuba diving with sharks. Take it from us, Time Out Abu Dhabi was first to dip our toes into the tank and the experience is unforgettable.
But first, get the kids signed up for the National Aquarium summer camp.
