What other travelers are saying about Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa
Family (2 adults + 2 kids) recently.
I think this is a good place to see a show in Tokyo for about the third time.
The theater type dolphin show venue is just amazing with sound, light, video, and projection mapping! The fountains, water curtains, and lighting changes ...... were like an entertainment show, and I was thrilled from start to finish. I was thrilled from start to finish.
The show venue is a fantastic space surrounded by 360° light, and the dolphins' jumps and performances are very beautiful. The show is held during the daytime, and both children and adults were excited by the power and speed of the dolphins' jumps.
Depending on where you sit, you may get splashed by water, so I recommend the "soaking wet zone" for everyone.
One of the best value attractions we visited in Japan!
The dolphin show alone was worth the visit – energetic, well-choreographed, and genuinely fun for the whole family. We were also surprised by how enjoyable the rest of the park was. The penguins were adorable to watch, the aquarium exhibits were well presented, and there were even a few small rides we didn’t expect – and they turned out to be a hit with our kids. A fantastic mix of entertainment and education, all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a fun half-day activity in Tokyo.
Overall, it’s an accessible aquarium. We’ve been to Tokyo Sea Life Park, which is still the best overall, as well as Shinagawa Aquarium, which has adorable sea lion and dolphins. The Maxwell one is smaller, but it offers extras like a merry-go-round and other carnival-style games. Oh and the dolphin show is a must-see …just be ready to get wet!
Nice aquarium, the dolphin performance was great. But some animal environment were quite plain and wonder if animals like for example the penguins didn't look happy and kept standing in same place for a long time, not moving. Some of the fish looked unhappy too. Makes you wonder.
A truly nice exhibition – the overall atmosphere was pleasant and engaging. The graphic installations were beautifully crafted and visually impressive. The dolphin show was both entertaining and educational, making it a real highlight. However, the jellyfish installation absolutely stole the show – it was nothing short of mesmerizing. I highly recommend a visit!
