Traveler reviews

If you don’t go at Gloden week period, you’ll more enjoyable here I went there at Gloden week period. It’s very crazy. Too many people there and too many kids. We went to see sea otter and some. Need to wait around 1h30min to see him. Well it’s so cute. But too many people so I cannot say that I was enjoyed here.

Visited on a Friday and it was not that crowded. Purchased tickets in advance via KKday which allows direct admission with the QR code. It was a breezy short walk from Toba station. Had lunch in the aquarium. There were indoor and outdoor seatings with nice view. It was easy to order through the ticket machines and food items were cute. Local pearl accessories were available at the aquarium shop too. Long queue to see the sea otter and there’s only 1 minute of direct face to face session but it was worth it, very cute!

We really enjoy the show and all animals here. Sea lion show is a must! You should check time schedule and come to reserve seats before the show begins. Sea otters are so cute but you have limited time seeing them and taking picture. The queue is quite long. Walrus show is quite. Big friend can be so lovely. Dugong seems friendly and enjoy being pictured. Ticket should be purchased in advance as only entering queue is quite long in morning.

The Aquarium is really big and you can see quite an exquisite variety of sea creatures like Dugong and sea otters. The aquarium is well maintained and you can spend a quality time there and learn about the marine life.
