VIP Tour SEA Aquarium
Jun 2021 • Family
Took the VIP Tour to celebrate belated Father's Day. Being an underwater enthusiast himself, Dad thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Hafiz, the the VIP tour guide was friendly and informative and brought us to the back of the house (closed to general public). There were at least 4 back of the house areas (propagation of corals, breeding of jelly fish, poison arrowhead frogs, the top view of the large 12m display aquarium). He answered all our many questions in a heartbeat like a walking underwater Wikipedia. As there was another family with 2 active children, he did a pretty good job trying to cater to the energetic children and the older family who asked one too many questions.

The highlight of course was getting to touch and tickle a dolphin at Dolphin Island. We lay on our bellies on mats as Shaqila, the dolphin, was brought to us, allowing us to touch, interact and perform simple tricks with it. Vanessa, the instructor was friendly and patient in answering our questions. She made the 15-20mins feel much longer because she managed to pack so much information within the short amount of time. It was truly a beautiful memorable experience. We walked away well assured that the dolphins are well stimulated and taken care of by the passionate folks at dolphin island. It’s too bad no photography allowed as an official photographer was taking photos across the pool. Unfortunately, the insanely exorbitant price ($118 for 2 photos) did not justify the shots taken. 😒

The 3.5 hour VIP Tour to S.E.A. Aquarium allowed us to skip the long queues, get access to back of the house (super worth it if u love underwater creatures), get a free landyard, a welcome group photo as momentoes, and 10% discount at the Retail shop in S.E.A. Aquarium. You definitely get your money’s worth and I wld recommend this if you are interested in sea creatures!

Sentosa SEA Aquarium-Quality of Attraction dropped
Apr 2021
Have not been there since the covid 19 lock down, so decide to utilise the SRV to change for a Sentosa Fun Pass. You need to exchange for an entry ticket at the aquarium before entry, subject to availability of visiting slots. You may have to wait if full. Strangely, we have to enter by the back entrance some 50 meters away, when the front entrance is just a few meters walk. I have visited the aquarium before but the route now starts from the basement. Though Monday, there's still a small crowd. The exhibits are fairly the same but much reduced. For instance, there is only a few Sea Horses in a small tank while the sea dragons have disappeared. AT the now new exit, or formally the main entrance, the decorations of ships hanging from the ceiling is gone. The whole area was largely empty and feelings of void. The Fun Pass cannot be used to purchase souvenirs, drinks or snacks. We left the aquarium very disappointed. Not worth to put any pictures here.

World class aquarium
Apr 2021 • Friends
It may not be the world's largest aquarium but it was quite large and offered wide variety of sea creatures ensuring visitors a pleasant trip. Staff were friendly and logistics were well organized so you won't miss a beat from start to end. It's certainly an unexpected attraction in Spore has done this well. The funny jelly fish dancing display was a crowd drawer, for both adults and children.

A Relaxing Getaway only at SEA Aquarium
Jan 2021
I always find aquariums relaxing, fascinating, calming and giving you a glimpse of what's its like living in the waters like seas, oceans, ponds and rivers. Being in SG gives me the opportunity to visit one of the world's best aquarium - SEA Aquarium or Southeast Asia aquarium. Opened in 2012 as part of Marine Life Park in Resorts World Sentosa Entertainment complex. It was the world's largest aquarium until 2014. Comprising of more than 1,000 species of over 100,000 marine animals. I went alone for a day visit and purchased the ticket ahead online which is much cheaper at only 32 SGD plus a treat. Getting here you must go to Resort World's Sentosa via bus in Harbourfront station or Vivo city via Bus or Sentosa Express. The Former is cheaper option but if it's you haven't tried Sentosa Express tram then I would recommend it for just 4 dollars 2-way and alight at Resort's World station. The SEA aquarium is adjacent to Universal Studios and just a few mins away. Safe entry QR code is a must before you enter. I love the calming emerald blue effect of the entrance. As I enter 2 main attractions I could see - there is a big cylindrical aquarium called Coral Garden that houses over Reef Fishes. It is indeed beautiful especially its cylindrical shape and size do make a mark as you begin your journey. This is also a perfect place for a beautiful photo and video. Another one to my right is a big tank that houses Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins. The way they swim and glide in the waters are truly remarkable. I saw about 2 of them. Then I made my way walking pass by different small aquariums with colourful fishes, crustaceans, mollusks of every kind until I reached the Sea Jellies Gallery. For me this is one of the star attractions of SEA aquarium. I was amazed and at awe seeing colourful jellyfishes moving gently and dancing in their tanks in a synchronized move showcasing flashing lights and glowing with different colors of blue, green, red and white - truly a wonder of mother nature. Some moves slowly, some a bit fast, some looks like mushroom, some have long tentacles. If you're looking for the perfect shot then this is the place for that glowing photo and video. I proceeded further ahead and there it was the centerpiece of this aquarium - the Open Ocean Habitat, a big tank equivalent to 7 olympic size pools and houses 120 marine species. The tank is like a big cinema with a dining place called Aqua Gastronomy in front of it with Igloo like domes perfect for your underwater dining experience. (It was closed during my visit). As you pass by the restaurant and heads toward it you would see and feel for yourself you under the sea. Fishes of different kinds including the largest of them all - Manta Rays. Whilst I was there, I could see divers feeding them and even saying hi to us for a good photo op. This is indeed a relaxing place perfect to feel how its like under the sea. I continued my journey there is a kiosk meal station where you could get your free treat or buy drinks and snacks. Then I passed thru different types of aquariums housing corals, crustaceans and eels like the giant Moray Eel until I reached the Shark Seas. There is an underwater tunnel for your perfect panoramic view of these beautiful creatures. Sharks are seas APEX predators and seeing them first hand will give you a lot of respect and admiration for them. Home to 12 shark species including the largest of them Tiger and the unique Hammerhead sharks. This is another star attraction of the aquarium perfect for your memorable photos and videos. Finally, the Freshwater species area contains different amphibians and fish species which thrive in our fresh waters. Some famous animals here are the colorful Poison Arrow frogs and the living fossils fish species. There is also an attraction for Starfishes where you could touch them towards the end of the aquarium but there are no feeding sessions. After 3 hours of educational, memorable and relaxing experience my day was complete. I felt truly delighted, relaxed and educated and glad I did visit one of the world's largest and most beautiful aquarium - the SEA Aquarium. Can't wait to come back again :=) !!!

The staff were quite un-welcoming, stay away and book elsewhere instead.
Mar 2021 • Solo
A really bad experience. The safe distancing ambassadors are literally shouting at paying customers at the dolphin exhibit. They do no show any respect and think they can abuse their ‘power’. This showcase by the staff dampens the mood of customers wanting to have a nice time in the aquarium. The ambassadors really need a re-training to instill a sense of self-pride and treat everyone with humility. One safe distancing ambassador that really crossed the line is at the really big gallery/tank. As an individual (1pax) going for the exhibit, I followed all the safe distancing guidelines but when I’m in my box looking at the exhibit, others come my box too, instead of asking them to safe distance from me, she outrageously as me to re-queue from the outside instead. This discrimination against single paying customer is not acceptable and management should look into re-training her as her behaviour is disgusting.

S.E.A. Aquarium Experience
Feb 2021
Trying to contact Resort World Sentosa was a big nightmare, especially when you are in a frantic rush to contact them pertaining your booking given the current safe distance management procedures. All in all, we were glad that we were allowed to re-book our time-slot as we had experienced a major delay while checking-in at our hotel.

The best time to go visit the attraction is from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, where it is nice a quiet without the crowd - the staff was nice to allow us to enter at 9:45 am, so that gave us ample time to walk around the attraction with literally no one else to spoil photos or videos.

Horrible crowd management
Feb 2021 • Friends
Crowd management is horrific, where pre booking of time slots had to be made. Swarms of visitors crammed within limited spaces, and safe distances barely kept within the long queues for different exhibits. 40 minutes waiting time was expected. The frustrations are expressed on the tones & manners of many safe distancing ambassadors trying to herd us like schools of fish trapped in a suffocating maze. This defeats the whole purpose of prebooking time slots, as im certain that the venue is aware of the numbers yet are incapable of adequete handling... Oh and i must add that one safe distancing ambassador, thought it was a good idea to squeeze 5 people into ONE touch pool booth- so that she can clear the queue faster.
