What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium
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.
Nice small aquarium to get acquainted with penguins and different type of marine life. It's good for both adults and kids. The area around the aquarium is magnificent. Mountains, Pacific Ocean, and weather permitted blue skies. What can be better.
Our children loved this small penguin focused aquarium. You can get there by bus or taxi-- taxi is about 3,800 yen. It's a 200m walk from the roads to the aquarium. The penguins also have a private beach that they are free to walk on and swim at! How cool is that!?!
