The aquarium (buy a combination ticket with the zoo) is located in the back of the zoo and is a modern state-of-the-art facility with breath taking basins. Coral beach, rain forest, shark, dolphin and sturgeon. Great gelly fish display. Definitely worthwhile the visit.

Zoos and aquariums are places I always made it a point to visit whenever I visit a new country or city. Though the Beijing Aquarium is not the best I've seen, I still never get tired of it even though I've been there many times before as it is still very awesome nevertheless. The shark wharf especially is a splendid... More

Great to take little people - lots to see. Just close your eyes as you pass the zoo.

Dolphin show and feeding fish are the favorited for my 7 years old, and I had taken him there 10+ times since he was 3 years old, it's located in side the Beijing zoo, but hardly can spare time for the zoo in one day.

We visited the Beijing zoo and aquarium together with our two kids (4 and 1). The aquarium is very spacious and covers both sweet water and seawater aquaria. Impressive is the jellyfish collection. Don't think I have ever seen such a wide range in one place. The dolphin show is a little on the boring side if you do not... More

during my visit in Beijing I visited Zoo which was very space full (just like any other attraction in Beijing) but highlight was the Aquarium. Relatively new with dolphin show and under water pass as well as underwater pass with escalator (my personal favorite) it is worth to visit. It is a little bit off-side from other attractions but do... More

Our group of 24 was not overly impressed with this attraction. It was the least favorite venue we visited on our trip. Once you visit the Atlanta Aquarium, there is no need to visit this one. It was not clean! The touristy stands took away from the real purpose of the visit. There were a couple of nice exhibits but... More

Overall a good visit but was saddened by the size of the tanks for the whales and dolphins in particular. The seal and dolphin show was quite good but all in Chinese as to be expected! They ranted on too much though at times. Would only recommend it if you really want to see fish.
