The Rainforest, a walkthrough aviary in Tropical Ocean, is now open!

MicroOcean:

In Tropical Ocean adjacent to Ray Reef and behind Tropical Amphitheater is additional macaw exhibits for macaws that will eventually be a part of the Dolphin Presentation:





There is what is being referred to as a “birdavator” for lifting the macaws up and down for the presentations:




Tropical Ocean is also the only realm in the park with real plants:

SeaWorld Abu Dhabi's Dolphin Habitat is made up of eleven pools. Once The Rainforest opens, guests will be able to walk around the entire exhibit. The Dolphin Habitat is currently home to 21 bottlenose dolphins that all came from SeaWorld parks in America. Most of the dolphins have been given access to all eleven pools, but they choose to mostly spend time closer to the trainers and the presentation pool, as opposed to swimming around the main pool closer to the flamingos.

SeaWorld Abu Dhabi also has Lulu, a female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, and Nayer, a male Indian Ocean humpback dolphin. These two dolphins are currently not on display to the public. They were from the "Royal family's collection" and for some time they lived at Atlantis Dubai. They were then moved to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and are now permanent residents.

Three additional bottlenose dolphins from the SeaWorld parks in America - Eden, Storm, and Delilah, are currently in one of the Dolphin Support pools which is viewable from the Animal Care Center. The plan is for these three dolphins to be introduced to Lulu and Nayer, and then eventually these five dolphins together will be moved up to Tropical Ocean's Dolphin Habitat so the exhibit will then have 26 dolphins.
















Seating for Waterside Café is located along the Dolphin Habitat so if the dolphins choose to swim over to this part of the main pool, guests can view them while eating.



Directly below this is Cenote Café, and along this restaurant's dining area is multiple underwater viewing windows. Because the dolphins tend to not swim around this area, guests may only be seeing the fish while they eat.




Also on the lower level of Tropical Ocean is an underwater viewing tunnel that crosses the middle of the main dolphin pool. The dolphins do swim over the underwater viewing tunnel, but tend to not go beyond the tunnel towards Cenoté Cafe and the flamingos.






Past the tunnel there's more underwater viewing windows on both sides of the path:

The entrance area at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi:

Throughout SeaWorld Abu Dhabi are touchscreen kiosks that list and give details about the animal species in each realm. However, the kiosks are still being finalized so some are incomplete/missing information, plus some animals are listed which are not on display yet. Also, some animal species are listed that will never be on display, such as the leatherback sea turtle which despite being listed for Endless Ocean will not be on exhibit in Endless Ocean.

One of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi's main restaurants is Matbakh Ummi, which is located on the upper level of the Abu Dhabi Ocean realm:







The dining areas extend out into Abu Dhabi Ocean:







And they even extend out into the adjacent One Ocean realm:






Looking up at Matbakh Ummi from the lower level of Abu Dhabi Ocean:

I’m really curious about the S.E.A games, does anyone have any info?
