When in Dubai Mall, don't miss out on the chance to step foot into the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Although it's separate from the mall, the entrance to the Burj Khalifa can be accessed on the lower ground floor of Dubai Mall.
The Burj Khalifa's main attraction is its observatory decks, where unparalleled views of the Dubai skyline will greet you. With Klook, you can book access to At The Top, located on Levels 124 and 135, and At The Top SKY on Level 148. Want to enjoy some refreshments while you're there? You can opt for the Tea in the Clouds or Bubbly Sundowners lounge experiences.
2. Spend A Day at The Burj Khalifa
For an even more fantastic deal at the Burj Khalifa, you can book combo tickets with Klook! Apart from access to its observation decks and the chance to glance upon the mesmerizing cityscape below, you can add a pass that allows admission to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo!
You can also start your day right at the Burj Khalifa. Just take the Sunrise combo, where you can feast on a sumptuous breakfast as you watch the sunrise on the horizon, or the Cafe Treats option for an excellent ol' cup of joe. If you're looking for that perfect sunset romance moment, take your loved one out for the Rooftop package, where you can enjoy a nice, intimate 3-course meal at Rooftop in The Burj Club.
3. Watch Marine Wildlife at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Home to over 33,000 marine species, including penguins, this Dubai Mall attraction has an incredible 10 million-litre tank where you can see sharks and manta rays swimming freely.
Experience more underwater fun when you book the Explorer Pass that gives you a behind-the-scenes tour and access to the Aquarium Glass Bottom Boat that lets you drift over the water surface and observe the creatures below you.
4. Take A Ride Along with The Dubai Fountain

Hop on a traditional Abra water taxi and witness the world's largest dancing fountain as it shoots water as high as a 45-story building. This visual show uses 6,600 lights, 25 coloured projectors, and 22,000 gallons of airborne water choreographed in sync with different kinds of music. On a water taxi, you'll see the best show in town up close!
5. Enjoy more Dubai Fountain water activities

Make the most out of your Dubai Fountain experience by trying out all the water activities it has to offer, especially during the winter, where sunny skies and cool weather are more usual.
Aside from the classic water taxi, you can also cruise across the majestic fountain via a kiddie Flamingo Boat or romantic paddle Swan Boats. You can even book a two-seater kayak for a thrilling kayaking adventure with your partner. Plus, the kayaks have a glass bottom for a more exhilarating ride!

Aside from the retail therapy, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Fountain, Dubai Mall still has a ton of activities left in its vicinity! After hours of roaming around the mall, you can quickly cool down at the Dubai Ice Rink and enjoy 90 minutes of skating glee.
Afterwards, tease your brain at the mind-boggling VR Park that blurs the line between perception and reality, or spot world-famous paintings at the Digital Art Gallery. If you're coming with kids, we recommend heading to Kidzania and letting them try out “big people” jobs inside the area. Who knows, they might even discover what their lifelong dream is by the end of the day!
