This was recommended to us. It does not look like much from the mall entrance, but that certainly changed once we went through it. There was so many areas that contained so many fish and other animals. It was fantastic. They even had a `hand-on`area to feel starfish and other animals. Well worth the money.

At first, We can't wait to go when we saw on the website that there will be shark feeding. Language can be a problem as signage in English are not everywhere. Staff giving presentation also spoke in Korean. Huge disappointment when we waited exciting for the shark feeding to start but there was no sight of diver n we saw...

I'm not personally a huge fan of aquariums but the concept of one in a mall and the variety of animals that were present gave the outing at the mall a little extra sprinkle of fun.
When with a friend, she mentioned it wasn't anything compared to an aquarium in Washington. So it appears that as far as aquariums go,...

This aquarium does get very hectic, which might account for the lack of tidyness on the day we visited. Not all the animals or fish on display were displayed to their best. A bit crammed in and a disapointment after being told it was one of the best in Asia.

One of the things that I find interesting about the country of Korea is how expensive and inexpensive things are in this country.
