Dubai Aquarium and Penguin

Dubai continues to surprise the world with its new and unique attractions, and the Penguin Cove is the newest of the lot. A part of the well-loved Dubai Aquarium, the Penguin Cove is the new home to 16 Gentoo penguins (8 females and 8 males), which were brought from a facility in the USA.

Dubai Aquarium and Penguin

The Penguin Cove is a special temperature-controlled facility that has been created to replicate the Sub-Antarctic environmental conditions. To make the penguins feel right at home, the temperature of the place is kept between 2 and 4 degree Celsius, while the temperature of the water is kept between 5 and 7 degree Celsius. There is also a special lighting system that mirrors the penguins’ annual light cycle.

If you want to meet these interesting birds, you can book tickets for penguin cove, which would give you the chance to have a unique encounter with the penguins. These tickets only give access to the Penguin Cove and not to the aquarium. If you want to see the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, you would have to book separate tickets for the same.
