Start with the places you want to visit at Al Qana, then choose the ticket. The National Aquarium's current booking page distinguishes aquarium admission, a two attraction combo and a combo with a boat tour. A package name remembered from an older guide may not describe today's offer.

Read the current inclusion list
On 9 November 2026, the official ticket selection page lists the following choices. This is a comparison of the displayed inclusions, not a price recommendation or a guarantee of availability for a selected date.
| Choice | Main distinction on the booking page |
|---|---|
| National Aquarium General Admission | Aquarium entry across its ten thematic zones |
| Two attraction combo | Adds Butterfly Gardens and the other inclusions listed with that product |
| Two attraction combo plus boat | Specifically includes a glass bottom boat tour |
Open the details for the selected product before proceeding. Keep any participation conditions attached to the relevant extra. General aquarium admission should not be treated as confirmation that every separately offered activity is included or suitable for every visitor.
Decide whether a second attraction belongs in the day
A second attraction changes the shape of the outing. If the aquarium is the main reason for coming, consider how much attention the group wants to give its displays before adding another stop. If both attractions are priorities, arrange the day around both entrances and their current hours.
The aquarium FAQ identifies the location as Al Qana in Rabdan. Save the destination and ticket confirmation together, especially if someone else is arranging transport.
Make the boat an explicit choice
If the glass bottom boat is the feature you want, confirm that it appears in the exact product you select. Check its current arrangements directly with the operator before building a timed itinerary around it. A photograph of the boat elsewhere on a website does not add it to a general entry ticket.
For a group booking, share the same product name and inclusion list with everyone. That reduces the chance of arriving together with different expectations about the second attraction or the boat.
