The aquarium has an admission fee, but many of the underwater sights can be seen for free through a giant viewing window in the mall.

It is a big mall. It is really just a big version of the same malls you can find in the US or Western Europe. They didn't even have interesting food in the food courts like you find in East Asian malls.

Aquarium tip: Evening visit is best as it is less crowded so you can take your time taking pictures. The aquarium is split in two separate entry floors. Tickets don't allow re-entry to the same level once you exit, so take your time in both levels. It is not huge so definitely take your time and enjoy at a leisurely pace. Also if you plan on taking the Hop On Hop Off bus (which I strongly discourage as Dubai is very spread out and you will spend hours just riding with little more to see than you would from the metro), a visit to the Dubai Mall or Atlantis aquarium is included in the Hop On Hop Off bus package.

Don't miss the Dubai Dino and the fountain water show. Ask at information for the times.

Dubai Mall is incredibly majestic. It is adjacent to Burj Khalifa and other interesting sites. The tour buses are across the street, downstairs so pickup and drop-off is easy. The Dubai Aquarium is located in the Mall. It's simply magnificent and enthralling.

Dubai Mall is majestic like the city. It is located adjacent to Burj Khalifa and many other interesting sites. You can buy tickets for the Dubai Aquarium and Burj Khalifa inside the Dubai Mall. Tour buses are located in the vicinity; a very central location.
