Based on my previous booking experiences, it appears that only online tickets are available and the accepted payment method is limited to credit card transactions. Furthermore, it is essential to make a reservation well in advance.If you are planning to visit on the weekends.

The Hamad Port Visitors Center is a one-of-a-kind structure created specifically to highlight Qatar's maritime heritage and accomplishments. The facility has a maritime museum, a 4D theater, virtual simulators, an auditorium, a kids' play area, and Qatar's first oceanic aquarium.

What do people think about it ?

Those who had complaints about the place mentioned the inconvenient opening hours for families and the only online ticketing possibilities. 
Not working cinema while full price had to be paid. Technical failures with the ticketing were the major issues with this new place in Qatar, according to Google reviews.

Other people had better experiences like :

" Weekend tickets should be booked a week in advance. They organized and kept everything perfectly." " Aquatic life is well-represented in the aquarium. Good car parking." " Inside viewing takes 1.5 hours easy." " In summary, Hamad Port and Aquarium is not just a place to visit; it's an adventure, an education, and a wonder all rolled into one. A must-visit for both locals and tourists alike!" " The 4D Theatre experience was especially enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. Make sure you go for the show in the language that you can follow and check that you get the 4D experience as this could be accidentally turned off. You even get to experience water and wind 🙂"
