Great for families with kids. The walk through in the aquarium is very enjoyable. The place is well kept too.

Sharks and dolphins are meant to be in the sea, freely, especially dolphins, they're not meant to play tricks for people's entertainment and not meant to be kept in a tiny pool (comparing to their habitat, of course) with hundreds of people making noise, they rely on their sonar, for God's sake!

If you want to find a break from mall to mall visit in Jakarta, Sea World is one of the places to go. Especially during 17 August, the Independence Day in Sea World was memorable, I was sitting in front of the shark aquarium with my good friend, these sharks are the non harmful type and the size was not...

We can see a lot of under water creatures here. But the place quickly bored you. All the foods and drinks sold here are quite expensive. So you better bring you own beverage especially if you bring your kids.

Although the attraction centre looks small but it is impressive at the main entrance. For those tourists who are the first timer to watch interesting collections of fish and sea creatures, it is worth to tour the Sea World, and closer look at the sea creatures. My wife and I went there on Monday, and so it was easy and... More

Large displays with a lot variety of species. It's really great to go round and watch interesting sea creatures, fun, and a lot of education. Great for family with young kids. The Sea World is too crowded on weekend, but still fun all the same. Room displays are dim, so watch your kids closely as they may got lost easily.... More
