Beautiful Immersive Experience - Attended as a family with adult children. The light shows, colours and use of mirrors reflecting the lights was spectacular. Makes you feel very centred and relaxed providing you are not surrounded by young families. Personally believe the experience is lost on younger children although the House of Hype more suitable for younger families. We attended both on the same day and AYA was my preference. The whole AYA experience is approx 1 hr and 10 mins.

AYA is full of AYA...just WOW!! - Fantastic experience at AYA Universe, lot of theme based areas created taken from Mother Nature and presented they light, sound and touch. You can take photos freely and staff helps you across the way. Must visit, one can skip teamlab abu dhabi its similar compared to this. Tickets are expensive just like museum of future, but its a must visit. Also its located in Wafi mall so some retail therapy never hurts anyone.

Unforgettable memories, loads of fun!! - The views in the each room were amazing and very different, keeping you on your toes and ready to view the next one. The staff were lovely and very informatively and would help with taking the pictures! Aballa stood out as he took amazing videos for my friend and I, and was funny and very helpful!!! Would highly recommend.

Somewhere different to visit. - Decided to visit as staying at a hotel beside Wafi Mall where Aya is situated. Something different to do in the heat of the summer afternoon. We got a discount with our boarding cards and think there are other discounts for residents etc. wouldn’t want to pay full price. Not too sure what to expect exactly and a bit apprehensive as I don’t really do flashy lights etc and didn’t know just how this might be. We did actually enjoy it. Different rooms with different themes. Not too sure why you are given little Aya passport books to mark off with stickers because you could hardly see to do it anyway. It was a lot noisier and flashier than expected in some rooms so probably spent less time than I might have. Nice music but very loud. So so many mirrors where you don’t know where you start and stop and makes you feel disoriented at times. Be careful what you wear! Think we saw it all .

Average Instagrammable Attraction - In my opinion its a one time visit destination and is not a big of a deal, if you like taking pictures and so you might like it, otherwise i just finished all in less than 30 minutes. Not a wow effect for me but i am sure there will someone who will enjoy it
