It's a small aquarium but at 100 THB for an adult and free for 2 year old, we could not complain as bubba had a great time looking at the fishes. It was the first time I ever say an upside down catfish (look closely and read the descriptions). We walked all the way to the end where they housed... More

Very reasonably priced to visit, has a large selection of aquatic life to see. Only downside was seeing the excellant Tsunami boards in the morning, and then sitting on the roof with a Tsunami warning in the afternoon, but that;s not their fault. More

Phuket aquarium may be smaller than a lot of others, but is still well worth a visit, especially considering its location and the minimal entrance fee (100 baht, or $3 AUD is not a very high price even for foreigners). They have a great collection of colourful and unusual fish and interesting invertebrates. Yes, you might get to see many... More

Good aquarium - not so big as in Georgia :) But they have some nice sea creatures like huge grupper, sharks and so one. Will be interesting to watch. More

The aquarium is an old style aquarium and will be a disappointment to some - but there is a turtle breeding centre out the back More

Our hotel happened to be right next door to the aquarium, so to get out of the afternoon heat one day we decided to pop in. it is safe to say, it did not take half a day to get around! Although we did not expect much only being a small aquarium on a small island, we did perhaps think... More

Educational place to visit. Good displays of fish, but fails to earn top marks because of the blatant double pricing system. One very low price for Thais and one very high price for non Thais. More

This is another of Phuket's attractions, located at Cape Panwa. It is relatively small sized, compared to other aquarium I've been to (Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong). But it is still nice and our kid loved it. He especially enjoyed the tunnel where you see the big fish (tunas, groupers) and sharks swimming around and above you. I liked... More
