Reviews of Dubai Mall
5/5 - Excellent
Massive mall which is a very long walk from the metro, although this is via an air conditioned walkway. Look out for the aquarium and dinosaur skeleton.
5/5 - Excellent
MASSIVE MALL, WILL GET LOST, BRING YOUR CREDIT CARD
3/5 - Okay
Beware of the food in the mall. It's appears to be franchised fast food at premium prices.
5/5 - Excellent
Allow plenty of time to get around. If you want to visit the aquarium, it is best to book in advance.
3/5 - Okay
Massive place with so many shops that you could walk round for hours. Most shops targeting high end of the market. Everything far more expensive than we can get in the UK - e.g. A box of 4 Fortnite figures my 9 yo son wanted was 175AED (approx. £35) - A quick Internet search for exactly the same thing revealed that RRP in UK was £19.99 and some places doing it for £15.
5/5 - Excellent
Make sure you visit the excellent Aquarium, the explorer ticket will also get you a behind the scenes tour
