National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium

I always love this aquarium and so do my kids. It is fun for children and adults. I’ve been to aquariums all over the world and this by far has been one of my favorites! It is also surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Was an interesting place with the various marine life featured - some of which I'd never seen before. However, it did feel like a lot of wasted space that forced visitors to have to walk long and unnecessary distances. Exhibits and shows could also be more interactive and real (some exhibits were only for education with no real animals).

We’ve had a great experience in this aquarium. The only downside was that the “informative” part of the display was quite outdated visually, especially the 3D section, but this place is definitely worth a visit!

My children specifically love the penguin area. They're so many. The place is quite big. My family enjoyed the visit.

Aquarium 5/5 Ticket grandma 1/5 Used my student ID all over taiwan for a year. But she made me pay extra because i dont have a login to my university (foreign language exchange department did not give a login or have connection to NSYSU directly). Was willing to show my schedule and classes, but she said no foreigner students are accepted only taiwanese from taiwan. Defeats the purpose of the discount and shuns foreingers.

We love this place a lot. The ticket price is not too expense. Kids can easily spend time there all day. Will go back there when the weather is hotter, so my boy can play with water outside. The view of the ocean is also amazing.

We have been tge aquarium very lately, so we decided not going in this time, and left outside in the shopping arena, where you can find souvenir, sback and drink, and you can ask going in to buy coffee and food at Starbucks with registration, which allow 30 minutes coming back. A chill way to hang

What a great aquarium! Very reasonably priced tickets. Easily can be an all day event for the kids, also very enjoyable for the adults. Excellent representation of multiple species of water life. Parking is very convenient and cheap. Plenty of food and snack options on site. Worth the time to visit!

Biggest aquarium in Taiwan. Easy parking. I like how the different sections are separated and they are continuously expanding. There are a lot of interactive areas for children and also suitable for adults. Their big tank is amazing and there's usually someone there explaining all the fish and habitats to everyone. They also have a pair of beluga whales. Not much exciting food choices but there is a Starbucks. Gift shop and other stores are a little more on the old fashioned outdated side. Definitely a lot of different fish to explore and they change small tanks from time to time.

I visiting this museum/aquarium during my time in Kenting, which is in Southern Taiwan. It's a short motorbike away from the main strip of Kenting, but it will require some planning to visit as the public transit is pretty sparse and taxis are decently expensive to go roundtrip. As someone who does aquatic biology research and has gone to most of the famous and large aquariums in the world, I still really enjoyed the National Museum of Marine Biology in Taiwan. There was a lot of exhibits, especially ones that are about Taiwan which you can't find anywhere else. They also have touch pools and interactive shows. The star of the show/aquarium were the beluga whales. Although I do feel bad about them being enclosed in a tank as they are smart and big, it was really amusing to interact with them and chase them around the tunnel. Entrance fees are pretty cheap (under $20USD per person) and the food and snacks inside are cheap and will keep you entertained if you don't fancy the swimming creatures. If you want to see the fish in the aquarium up close, go scuba diving or snorkeling. You won't be disappointed! There are coral reefs and no lack of reef fish.

This museum is very large and full of difference species of Taiwan's marine life. I definitely would recommended for those that are outside visitors considering the price and the amount of animals to view/activities they have. It was about $15 per ticket for adults.
