It was expensive given the size of the venue and range of exhibits. Tanks for the whale and seals appeared small, in my opinion. We went round the aquarium relatively quickly and could not believe it was over so fast. Did enjoy seeing the manta rays and turtles

This place my husband took me on a date. I felt that we had a lot of fun that day. There were many interesting animals. That's what made us talk more because we shared more knowledge about animals. We were always excited to be here. I hope I will have time to visit again.😍

I was pleasantly surprised with this place - a lot to see and do in this aquarium. Not only sea life, but also forest, interactive exhibits etc. definitely worth the price and it was a highlight of the Yeosu visit. It’s also walking distance from the cruise port ( if u arrive on the ship).

Very well managed aquarium. The price is not too expensive. Don’t need any reservation. We came to see the Beluga, so sad that it’s confined in a small pool. But it’s a gift from the Russian government. The big central fish tank has many different type of fish, ray and sharks. Also a few large sea turtle, quite well maintained. The animals seemed very healthy.

I've been to quite a few aquariums all over the world, and Aqua Planet definitely stuck out as a very unique experience. I really enjoyed my afternoon here. ☺️
