If you had been here before the tank poisoning incident, you will be upset as I did. The maintenance is not done very well. The star attraction, the penguins, looked really unhappy. They don't even swim much. The tanks are really dirty and not "see through" anymore. There is a bad smell around that area. The 3D show is closed... More

We didn't enter into the Underwater World but instead doing shopping at its souvenir shop. There are quite a variety of nice glass adornments and other decorative items for sale with reasonable price. Worth a look. Tips: Underwater World ticket for Malaysian could be bought for the Jetty, Kuah from the travel agents at RM25/pax.

Went to Underworld world on a Sunday as it located near the chalet which I'm staying. It cost RM38 for Adult. There is many marine species which is worth a visit.

Having been to several huge aquariums, maybe I might be a little more biased, as Underwater World Langkawi is actually much smaller then some others.

If you are at langkawi with kids, you may want to bring them here, more for educational purpose? If you just want to kill time while your better half was busy shopping at the duty-free shop next-door, it is not a bad place to visit
