What other travelers are saying about Toba Aquarium
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.
A must visit aquarium for animal lovers. This aquarium houses the most species of marine animals in Japan including rare ones like Dugong & Sea Otters. Been wanting to visit this place for a long time to see the very cute Sea Otters, Mei-chan & Kira-chan. Despite the crowd, I really enjoyed my time here. The live performances were so fun & cute. Loved all the performances from the Penguin Walk, Walrus Touching Time, Sea Lion Show & Feeding time especially for the Sea Otters. Make sure to check the schedule in advance. The most popular area is for the Sea Otters. We queued for about an hour but it was worth it. So happy to finally see them. Enjoyed learning more about new species of animals. They have 1 restaurant here which could get very crowded depending on the time of your visit. Enjoyed the gift shop as well. Would definitely love to revisit this place again. Enjoyed our time here.
I rather enjoyed the small exhibits. I didn't enjoy the large mammal and large fish displays, they look far too cramped and it made me sad. The aquarium is very loud and crowded. I put headphones in. I didn't even bother going to the shows since the stadiums were sweltering. They do have a fantastic quantity of different fish!
We even got to touch an octopus!!! 🐙
There were many people watching the sea otters, penguins, dugong, and other animals. You can see them much closer here than at other aquariums.
But if you want to see the sea otters on a weekend, be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes.🦦ꕀ
I definitely want to go back again soon! :)
Super crowded, maybe cause we went during a Japanese public holiday. Many different marine animals, worthy of a visit and spending hours there. I would advise to avoid holidays for a better experience.
