Please put the turtle into a more suitable environment, a much much much larger water tank would be a start.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Maritime Museum. The setting was wonderful in St John's overlooking the Old Harbour and Lokrum Island. The museum was open in the evening and had a large crowd attending. This gave an excellent overview of the importance of the maritime industry for Dubrovnik and region over the centuries. The exhibits described the people,... More

This place made my partner, my 13 year old sister and myself physically sick when we left. How this place can be open is beyond me. I have never seen such over-crowded tanks full of depressed fish barely enough space to swim. My sister was absolutely appalled and was very upset. I stood over the "Large" open tank where a... More

After going around the fantastic Ancient City Walls in Old Town Dubrovnik, we decided to cool down in the Aquarium, To be perfectly honest, we both came to the conclusion that this is one of the least interesting places that we've visited in all of our lives. First of all, we payed 70 kuna each to get in here. The... More

For a different afternoon with the kids at Dubrovnik, a visit to the local acquarium is enjoyable. I took my 7 year old boy and my 3 year old girl. It cost just 55 kuna, younger children enter free. It is not a wow aquarium but they were excited to see the sea turtle, the lobsters and the marine creatures... More

very poor value for money! not worth seeing. first we saw a turtle who was in a very small space with no room for movement, this is what i call cruelty to animals! the rest of the place was boring and nothing i haven't seen before!

Dubrovnik Aquarium seemed like a good way to spend ten minutes (its pretty small and ten minutes is all you will need) but I was appalled to see a Sea Turtle in a desperately small tank - completely unsuitable for a creature used to swimming at sea over large areas. Medasset (The Mediteranean Association to Save The Sea Turtles) have... More

On the right hand side of the harbour next to St John's Fortress, there is a passage way which promises you an aquarium at the other side. What we found was a fairly depressing selection of fish - and a rare turtle (more later) - wedged into a dingey, cavernous space underneath the harbour wall. Once you have parted with... More
