I booked the special Valentine’s Day ticket online, which came with a nice promo price. On the actual day, it was pretty crowded, but not to the point where it felt uncomfortable. There were still plenty of moments where I could take photos without too many people in the frame.
They have feeding show schedules posted clearly in each zone, so you can plan ahead and catch the sessions you’re interested in. There was also a cute Valentine’s Day booth set up just for the occasion, which added a nice festive touch.
There are so many different species here that even after walking around for about two hours, I’m pretty sure I still didn’t see everything. The aquarium is divided into different biomes based on habitats. For example, the penguins have their own icy zone, while the sharks are in the ocean zone. The jellyfish zone is especially well done. There are multiple species on display, and the lighting makes everything look really beautiful and almost magical.
The gift shop and food inside are noticeably more expensive than outside, so I’d recommend eating before you go in. There are restrooms available throughout the aquarium and seating areas along the way if you need a break.
I managed to catch the shark feeding show. It was quite short, around 15 minutes, but still enjoyable to watch.
Overall, it’s an aquarium I’d recommend visiting at least once if you’re in Bangkok. I also think it’s a really great place for a date, especially if you want something a bit different and memorable.
