Over the past year, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi has not only provided thrilling entertainment but has also shown strong commitment to the ocean through education, conservation and community engagement.

During this short time span, the Marine Life Theme Park has achieved incredible milestones and clinched 13 international awards including winning a coveted place in the Guinness World Records™ as the ‘Largest Indoor Marine-Life Theme Park’ in the world. The park also received certification from Global Humane — the international brand of American Humane and the world’s largest certifier of animal welfare. It was the first Global Humane certification in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and signifies the high standard of animal care provided at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center, located adjacent to the Marine Life Theme Park.

Thomas Kaferle, general manager SeaWorld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, said, “We are extremely proud of what we have achieved at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi during its debut year, these accolades underscore our dedication to upholding the highest standards of care for our resident marine life as well as our commitment to providing exceptional experiences to our guests. Looking back at our first year, we are incredibly pleased with the positive impact we’ve had on our community and the strides we’ve made in marine conservation and public education. We look forward to welcoming more guests to enjoy our one-of-a-kind Marine Life Theme Park and learn more about the fascinating life beneath the ocean.”
