What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium
It was a very enjoyable experience. Although the aquarium isn't that big in size, it was nice to see so many different penguin species in one location! Spent around 1h 40min, could have been longer but the rain prevented us from going to the outdoor exhibition. Worth the effort to travel from the city centre.
You'd have to travel a little further out from central Nagasaki, so it'll be great to be driving to this worthwhile penguin aquarium~ it's not a big aquarium but true to its name you get to see so different species of penguins here up close. We went on a weekday morning and it wasn't overcrowded and noisy with people, so you really could enjoy the majestic experience of being in the penguin's presence.
It’s a good 45 minutes trip one way from the JR station. The bus comes every 30 minutes.
The aquarium is run down and extremely dirty. Penguins are squeezed on a very small space.
I hope that this kind of places will be successfully being closed down.
It is a good place to pass time. Despite their feeding timetable being shown as 11am. There was continuous feeding starting at 1030am pass 11.30am. It was just that at the ther timings it was normal feeding without comments from the workers there.
Parking wise nite that there are two car parks. DO NOT PARK AT THE 1ST ONE. PARK AT CAR PARK 2. Car park 2 is much nearer.
