Info theatre was under construction so no review on that. We couldn't stay for the tunnel feeding at 330pm since we got in at 10 so you can imagine how 'big' the place is. Most fun had was near the tunnel where we saw this huge stingray, a leopard shark, the giant moray eel and this humungous fish who sits... More

It’s good for killing time if you have some extra hours or if it’s raining or you are just bored. We felt that the tickets were bit over priced. Inside the collection of marine life is good. And it’s not just marine life there is also little wild life. Only thing I hate is when the staff takes your pictures... More

Located in the Pantai Cenang area flanked by 2 really good duty free shops, this is a good place to visit if you like marine life or if you have kids with you.Though the Aquaria at Kuala Lumpur is dfinitely bigger and better, the underwater world has an interesting collection of freshwater and seawater specimens.The seal tank and the penguin...

We liked all of the exhibits and range of marine life on view not just the headline penguin and shark tank exhibits. The place is showing its age with some display tanks needing refurbishment and for reasons unknown more staff were sitting on trinket stalls than monitoring visitors or being available to answer questions. Despite numerous signs about flash photography... More

It was a time well spent and the animals were interesting to watch, it made for a time well spent. It wasn't expensive and the animals looked comfortable, not like a caged animal in a zoo, the habitats seemed well suited to meet them. More
