The Singapore Oceanarium was absolutely amazing and 100% worth visiting. The exhibits are stunning — especially the massive Open Ocean display with sharks, rays, and so many colourful fish. The jellyfish section was one of my favourites, so calming and beautiful to watch. I also loved the interactive areas where you learn about different ocean zones and marine life. It is busy pretty much all the time, but the experience is still totally worth it. Everything feels so immersive and well designed, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, an unforgettable experience and a must-see in Singapore.

We visited on a Sunday morning at 1020am and expected a crowd, but thankfully it wasn’t as busy as anticipated. Entry was a breeze, and the atrium area is spacious. We had previously visited the S.E.A. Aquarium a few weeks before it closed for rebranding/ renovation to the Oceanarium, and the new space is easily three times larger. There is so much more to see and experience, and our child had a wonderful time exploring and running around the expansive areas within the complex. P/S: We also appreciate the backend staff who assisted us in rescheduling our ticket date when our child was hospitalised and we were unable to visit on the original day. Kudos to the team for the excellent support.

Massive place set out in a way where you discover how ocean life formed. Great for school kids. The massive tank with the rays and sharks was mesmerising, could watch them for hours. The colourful tank with the coral was beautiful. The dessert was so cute and surprisingly delicious!

Amazing experience at the Singapore aquarium! The exhibits are beautifully designed with huge viewing panels and an impressive variety of marine life. It is very easy to spend a few hours here because the space is well organized and each zone feels unique and immersive. Buying tickets on-site was incredibly convenient. The self-service machines work quickly, are simple to use, and make the whole process effortless. Inside there are many places to grab a snack, sit down for a short break, or pick up gifts. The souvenir shops have a great selection, especially for children. A wonderful place for families, couples, or anyone who enjoys marine life. Definitely worth visiting while in Singapore!

The Oceanarium is absolutely beautiful and truly not to be missed. From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by a calm, mesmerising world of vibrant marine life. The displays are spacious, clean and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to enjoy every moment. The walk-through tunnel is breathtaking — schools of fish gliding above you, rays floating like wings, and the gentle blue glow that makes you feel as if you’re underwater yourself. Perfect for families, couples or anyone who needs a peaceful escape. A stunning experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Singapore Oceanarium is an awesome experience at Sentosa. The aquarium is designed in such a way that it holds so much of marine life in it, you get to see close up of these amazing marine life creatures. It’s definite visit for all age groups and kids. It’s an experience one has to experience.

Beautiful aquarium. Lots of see. Enjoyed the over the head tanks, huge diorama, jellyfish exhibits, and the sharks. I would put this on must see along with the SG zoo if it's your first time in SG! I would even go again if I'm back

A rather big layout Aquarium on the island of Sentosa. It is right next to the Universal Studio Sentosa. The entrance at the main tank does seem rather dates, however the deeper one goes, it gets better. My favorite was the jelly fish area, it is the most interesting and widest variety of jellyfish that I have ever seen. Perfect place to spend time during a hot day, especially here on Sentosa, Singapore does get very hot and hyper humid.

One of the attractions on Sentosa Island, as well as a common point of interest for our friend group wherever we travel to, the S.E.A. Aquarium was definitely on our hit list! - PARKING - Huge parking structure/lot underground, but we all took ride shares and got dropped off at the basement level car area. You simply follow the signs for the Aquarium from the parking lot and its about a 5 minute walk. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We bought tickets prior to coming, but be sure to check out any discounts for students/military/etc. The entire area is very clean, which isn't uncommon for Singapore but I was still very impressed given it was an attraction site. We did have some trouble redeeming vouchers at the concession stand, but the workers were very patient and found a way to solve the problem. - EXPERIENCE - I do think S.E.A. Aquarium is smaller than some of the other aquariums I've visited, which was a bit disappointed given I was excited to see more than what I did. Highlights were the different types of jellyfish - especially the Fried Egg ones! So unique! I thought the big tank near the end would have included more varieties of sea life, but it was still cool to see the Manta Rays and Sting Rays, especially the big ones! - OVERALL - Kid friendly, family friendly, group friendly! Not the biggest or most impressive Aquarium I've been to, but definitely a good one still!

Touted as one of the best and largest in the world, S.E.A. Aquarium was a nice attraction to escape the hot, muggy weather. There's a lot of neat exhibits and a touch tide pool as an interactive experience. At the time of visit, they were selling a holiday ticket package that included a meal and retail voucher. I was able to buy everything online prior to our visit but the website was pretty buggy. I would argue that the main attraction here is their open ocean one. And it's designed almost like a movie theatre, with the enclosure viewing like the movie screen. There's multi-layer platforms to help spread the crowd and sometimes you can even see divers in the exhibit! I don't know why but I thought there would be whale sharks but the biggest animal would probably be the manta rays here. It took us maybe an hour to an hour and a half to finish the whole thing. If you're interested in reading the plaques at each exhibit, it'll take you even longer then. I've been here before and I remember liking it more than I did this visit. I think that just shows that a visit to the aquarium might be a one-time thing.

Aquariums are among my favorite attractions, so I was excited to come to S.E.A. Aquarium, especially after hearing that it's the largest aquarium in the world in terms of water volume. I was slightly disappointed at the size as the aquarium felt pretty small to me, but I've also been to a lot of the top aquariums in the US and Canada. Sadly they didn't have certain species such as penguins and otters here either. But their water tank is probably one of the largest I've seen, and I think that's their main selling point. We spent a lot of time at the tank just watching the various rays, sharks, and fish. Our tickets also came with vouchers for the concession stand. Be sure to use these when you see the stand next to the giant tank, because there won't be any more stands later on! We got all the way to the end of the aquarium before realizing, and ended up having to backtrack in order to redeem our vouchers. Overall, a good place to stop by if you're a fellow aquarium lover! Not as large as other aquariums but I do think the lower ticket price makes it worth it.

This is a must do while you are in Santosa. I had a great time exploring different type of fishes and marine lives. It was educational as well as entertaining. I didn't see any " dolphins shows" or special notice on feeding time - like what I saw at the Monterey Bay Aquarium near San Francisco. Nevertheless, it is among the world class aquariums.

I loved the aquarium!! I had fun! It was amazing! It was well worth the advance purchase online to avoid the long lines and it helped it was a little cheaper than at the ticket counter. This aquarium is located in Sentosa island. We took the cable cars here since it's located towards the back by the cable car exit. As you enter the aquarium, you walk through a heat scan for coronavirus. At least, it's better safe than sorry. The aquarium size is pretty big and all surrounded by water. My favorite part was seeing the shark tank full of different sized sharks!! These were amazing to see.. my other favorite was seeing the jellyfishes. I got stung by them and just wanted to see these gentle but vIcious sea creatures. I saw some ugly and unique sea creatures. The glass walls of these tanks were at least five inches thick. The staff here really takes care of this place. I saw one guy in a wet suit wiping the glass walls carefully to not disturb the fish. Great place to visit if you're a tourist and first time in Singapore. Well worth my advance purchase. [31/100]

There are so many places in Singapore that are must-sees. It is impossible to be able to check everything off in one visit, unless you allow yourself ample time to explore this spectacular, wondrous island of amusement. As a Singaporean myself I take immense pride in the the success, advancement and beauty that Singapore boasts. On the top of your list needs to be the S.E.A. Aquarium located in the heart of Sentosa. It is one of two attractions that create the Marine Life Park in the resort. The aquarium is houses more than 100,000 marine animals of over 1,000 species, across 50 different habitats, each one as fascinating as the next. I wish I had videos to help present the fascination of this place but I was so intrigued I hardly took out my phone. I've been here twice now it still amazes me. The aquarium held the world record for the largest by water volume from '12-'14. It features a ginormous open ocean tank that spans across an entire room filled with over 50,000 animals. You also have a chance to see a giant oceanic manta rays, which is one of the only ones currently in captivity. I could go on and on about the aquarium but nothing I can in words can truly express it's intensity and magnificence. You're just going to have to go here yourself to check it out. I highly suggest you do!

The aquarium is on a fun part of the country called Sentosa Island. Seems like a fun place to bring kids on a nice family day. The aquarium is a little smaller than I thought it would be and Incredibly hectic as you would expect most aquariums to be. The reason I gave this place at 3 star was because I saw three dead or dying fish. Not saying that fish can never die but for a fish to get that dud and to be seen by the public eye doesn't happen over a few minutes or even a few hours and seldomly even half a day to a day. Those large fish had to have been dead long enough for caretakers of the place to not notice. Although they have a decent selection, I can't look past the dead fish since I've never seen that an aquarium before. Definitely took videos but didn't take pictures of the dead fish.

We visited the aquarium 20 years ago. We liked it then and, although this is completely different, we like it still. Plenty of large displays with a wide variety of fish, be it the shark tank, the big aquarium with sting rays or the fantastic displays of eels. Yes, it is busy, but very much worth the visit.

Top 5 attractions in Singapore. I have been to several aquariums around the world. Something about the deep mysteries of the sea fascinates me. With more than 100,000 marine animals of over 1,000 species, across into 50 different habitats, SEA Aquarium is definitely worth the visit. What you should not miss out - Check the time and stick around for the feeding at the main aquarium. Here you will see scuba divers feeding the manta rays and other marine animals inside. SEA Aquarium is a great attraction for all ages. I spent a good two to three hours inside. Another favorite of mine was seeing the sheer size of the Giant Japanese Spider Crab. The location is adjacent to Universal Studios so, if it may be possible to visit both parks in a single day.

One of the best aquariums I have ever been to! Although the Universal Studios next door probably pulls larger crowds, this aquarium is definitely a ppace worth stopping by, especially if you want to avoid the head outside on a hot Singaporean summer day. Located on Sentosa island, S.E.A. Aquarium is a bit out of the ways for people visiting the main island of Singapore. Despite that fact, given how small Singapore is, it doesn't take that long to get over here (I rode over on a Grab ride for only 10 Singaporean dollars). So if distance is your big worry, fear not! As for the attractions, I think the aquarium is pretty comprehensive. It has exhibits on almost all the oceans of the world, except for the arctic. And the aquarium with stingrays is particularly beautiful. Visit if you are close by!

Very nice time to spend, learning about sea creatures and fish. Had a great time relaxing at the huge aquarium, watching the Manta Rays fly through the water, they are so beautiful. Loved to see all the different kinds of jellyfish & Seahorses.

S.E.A. was definitely one of the best aquariums I've ever visited. It's on Sentosa Island. It was large but very walkable. There were so many sights that I lost track of how far we had gone. Some of my favorites: The jellyfish displays were beautiful. I loved the way they lit that those tanks. They're such weird creatures with such variety. The glass tunnel inside the shark tank. Everyone loved this display. Sharks were swimming all around you, even above. We were able to see the underbelly of these predators. They were swimming so close that we could look right into their eyes. Feedings happen at certain times at the giant central tank. Make sure you don't miss it. The diver was feeding the fish that were swarming him. One of the tanks had a shipwreck in it. It provided great hiding places for the critters. There were other "general" tanks that housed a variety of fish. The colors and mix was extraordinary. If you're visiting Sentosa, make sure to carve out some time to go to the aquarium.

The exhibit itself was a 3 star accounting for the pricing. No star for experience. It will be more enjoyable if people stop taking pictures or videos at every turn. They have forgotten how to enjoy the moment but hand is camera ready. They were completely oblivious of my 7 year old and cut in. This happened at every station except the giant tanks even at the entry and exit tunnels. The patrons have no respect for private spaces. However if you disturb or walk thru whe they are taking picture or videos, you will hear the complain tone (in a different language) Yo I do understand what you saying My recommendation to the business owner. Ban the cell phones and let every body be in the moment. This is beyond ridiculous! I will ask you to take your 7 year old and go through the aquarium. .

I went to Sentosa Island for the aquarium and was not disappointed and it might not be the biggest aquarium I've been to but might be the nicest and perhaps the best organized. The crowd control and the ability to observe aquatic life , from more than just a cursory glance or rushed walk by are what makes S.E.A. a standout. The Manta Ray tanks as well as the Shark exhibits are the highlights of the aquarium but even smaller tanks are nicely done and are interesting. The main restaurant, Ocean, reminds of of Disney's Epcot Living Seas (now closed) and is beautiful. I have been here before and it does get busy but we were fortunate to go at a time and day where it was not overly crowded.

This is a wonderful attraction for people of all ages. The aquarium is designed in a wave like fashion so that you walk in one direction and can visit all of the exhibits without having to stray from the main path. This is great for children, strollers, and adults with OCD and/or ADD! I loved seeing the different oceanic environments and also all of the educational booths setup to teach kids about ocean conservation. There were so many interesting ocean critters to see here and the tanks looked well maintained. My favorite exhibits were the jellyfish and pufferfish exhibits. I've never seen so many puffers cohabiting in the same waters in peace so that was exciting! Most aquariums have 3-4 puffers max, but this one has dozens of them in various tanks!

This is a nice aquarium but it was extremely crowded. I couldn't fully enjoy this place and rushed through it. I didn't want to knock it to three stars because this is a really nice aquarium. The jellies are a great section and I love the underwater walkway. Don't miss the giant wall of sea creatures, either!! It's phenomenal. If you buy the bundle online, you can get tickets here for free.

Really enjoyed all the exhibits here. They have a lot of different tropical fish. They also have a nice day exhibit. I loved the different designs they have. They also have a section where you can pay extra for a ride that puts you into the same situation sailors on the Silk Road would be in. Really engaging experience. There are plenty of different ecosystems here for you to check out and it's a pretty big place so I suggest you give yourself at least 45 minutes to walk around and learn about the place.

Decent sized aquarium. This one is unique because they have other exhibits besides just looking at fish and sharks. They have an old wooden ship on display, and have a quick movie too for $2. The staff were very knowledgeable and answered a lot of my questions. I'm used to seeing aquariums being super packed with kids and families, but I came in when there were not as much people, although there were lots of people walking around in Sentosa. Again, plenty of room to walk around in. The shark exhibit was very cool.

We booked a tour through our travel agency and it appears to me that everyone that goes to Sentosa in a group follows their group all day. The SEA aquarium just so happen to be on our schedule for the day. I was super excited! It was actually a lot of fun and probably one of he best things to do at Sentosa. The aquarium itself walk through is about an hour-- deff longer if you have children as anything would be. It's incredibly crowded and families literally push you out of the way to get their kids the best spot which is pretty annoying but if you can grasp a breath of patience-- the views are incredible. I've only ever seen a walk through shark tank at the Mall of America so it was really exciting to see again. There's beautifully jelly fish tanks and dolphins. It's so much fun. The end display is a massive tank that's bigger than a theater stage. Highly recommend the visit. The views right outside are incredible too!

I choose this as fauna part of the attraction to my Singapore itenary. Compared to the Bird Park, Zoo, River and Night Safari's which all hold certain titles and awards, the SEA had more animals that were pertinant to the area Around Singapore and the south seas. It's building lies on the lovely but commercialized island of Sentosa which neighbors Universal Studios.Premise itself was large and maintained. Glasses above made you feel as though you were really in the ocean. The best part was actually the first part which was the tunnel of sharks. It contained various shark species like The Nurse and Hammerhead Sharks. Other galleries pertained to fishes and creatures mostly within the Malaca Straights and South Indo Seas. One thing this aquarium could have were more mammals and birds.

I love to scuba dive. Its one of the great things about living in this part of the world. Ive been here for 3 years and never really thought about visiting the aquarium. No particular reason. I just never heard much about it and never tried to make it over. So one weekend I had 2 friends visiting and one of them wanted to go so we paid it a visit. Oh man it was AWESOME. Such a great viewing experience. I enjoyed how it was separated by region. It showcased the different ecosystems and the sea life in these areas. There is actually alot of good information to be had but sadly people didnt seem that interested in reading it. The viewing tanks are amazing and this place is well worth the visit. There are a couple things to keep in mind. It gets CROWDED on the weekend. Kids are running EVERYWHERE. Most arent that supervised and are either tripping over you, jumping over you or trying to climb over you if they arent busy playing on their ipads which is a crime at a place like this. Id suggest going on a weekday if you can. The other thing that bothered me was the utter lack of any information about the effect we have on our ocean environment or things we can do to protect our ocean environment. I really think they should include some kind of take home message on the frailty of our oceans and things we can do to preserve them.

If you are visiting Singapore and want a really amazing experience, do the VIP Tour package at 9 AM and get a private experience without the crowds! Luckily, it was just the three of us without other people. Not having other people made it great since you go at your own pace. In addition, it is a huge difference without the business hour crowds! For the first 1.5 hours - it is quiet, relaxed and like visiting your friend's home. Our tour guide was great! She really explained everything really well! This is where you really get your money's worth - the back room, behind closed door experiences to see what goes on here was great! Wear light clothing - it can get very hot behind closed doors, especially in the Jelly Fish section. Also seeing the open ocean exhibit behind the scenes was a real eye opener - just amazing to see it from up above.

This is a wonderful aquarium and that is from someone who loves aquariums. The large and varies exhibits focus on lots of different habitats, perhaps the most varied that I have seen. They do a nice job of focusing on somewhat local (Asia and South Asia) geographies, and it is quite interesting to see the change in marine life as you make your way across the region without leaving Sentosa. It was also a really fun place for kids -- I went with my wife, my sister and my 7-month-old niece and we just had a blast. Many of the tanks are low to the ground to allow the little ones to press the faces up to the glass to see the cool creatures inside. My niece just loved watching the multicolored fish go by, and in particular the sea jellies float around en masse. The exhibits with higher viewing points also mostly had wide ledges so that kids could sit or stand on them to get a view. Even though it was a bit crowded, it was wide enough to push a stroller comfortably in most places. Definitely worth a stop while wandering Resorts World!

When we visited Sentosa we got a special package visit, which included the aquarium and Universal Studios. To be honest we were more interested in the Aquarium, and it is certainly worth a visit. In fact there were two sections, a museum piece that chronicled the martime silk road that took you to the various stops along the route, and then the aquarium itself which is actually pretty large. They do have another theme park on top - Adventure cove, which means that you may not get to see the dolphins when you pass the dolpin tank, however there are plenty - actually heaps - of other fish to marvel at, including a couple of huge tanks which you walk under, and a third one that takes up an entire wall of an ampitheatre. Pretty impressive if you like fish.

Enjoyable morning walking through the aquarium. We were the first few in lines and i think it's best to come early. The aquarium is a decent size but packed with informations. Entrance fee is 39$ per person but you can find cheaper deal online. I got ours for 35$ per pax. We spent about 2 hours here and ended our visit perfectly because there was a feeding time at 12 pm.

It's nice. That's all I have to really say about here. It's also overcrowded (but I went on a weekend - I don't even know why I bothered, little children everywhere squeezing in front of everybody to stick their face onto the glass sigh. Then you've got everyone else taking selfies in front of them. It's so hectic) Never ever pay the full 32 dollars (adult) price. I wouldn't have gone if I had to fork out that much. You can definitely get it cheaper from other websites online (like klook) or buy a package deal for the other activities on the island. I managed to get mine for 24. When you first enter in the aquarium, it's a little confusing where to go. There's a projector in front of you showing a video and then to the left of them is the counter to show your ticket and get in. You're taken through an exhibition on geography then you get to the first floor with a giant noah's ark and some recycled art. After that it's on to the fishes and sea creatures! I think I've just been to many stellar aquariums that this one seemed to lack variety. Many of the exhibits just seem very similar. "A lot of fish in one tank." However, the giant tank was quite different and it was nice seeing an octopus that was actually active around it's tank (usually most just hide in a corner that I've seen).

While in Singapore, I was invited to explore this amazing S.E.A. Aquarium at Resort World Sentosa. I've been to many aquariums in the past and S.E.A. Aquarium is one of the best in term of beautiful displays and home to more than 100,000 marine animals of over 800 species. Upon entering, there is an enormous Chinese type treasure ship floating in mid air. On the front of the ship is a video display and shows a video regarding sea expedition. The first tank display is a giant shipwreck. Next, a Shark Sea tunnel with full of various shark species. Endangered species such as the scalloped hammerhead shark, Silvertip shark, and the sandbar shark. Sandbar shark is one of the largest coastal sharks in the world. After that, just follow the line to all the other tanks and fishes until you reach the Open Ocean display. In the Open Ocean habitat, countless of rays, sharks, and other fishes attract viewers through a giant glass wall. This is my favorite due to the size of tank with probably the largest window in the world, and it is breathtaking. Overall, I really enjoy my time in S.E.A. Aquarium. it's a great outing for families with children.

4 1/2 stars: probably one of the best aquariums that I have ever been to. We got the 5 attraction pass for Sentosa, and one of the included items was the S.E.A. Aquarium. Again, this was a nice way to cool off as the entire place was air conditioned. You first walk through a glass tunnel, with lots of sharks floating around and above you. We weren't here for the feeding times, so we didn't get to witness that. However, the most impressive part of the aquarium was the huge viewing area "Open Ocean". Wow, so big and incredible, with tons of fish and stingrays. If you are heading to Sentosa, make sure you stop by this aquarium.

I loved this aquarium ! I had so much fun here & the large Tani was bigger than the medium sized office building I work in ! We went on a Friday and it was still quite busy.

Beautiful aquarium full of various sea creatures to admire. The main attraction is the large wall aquarium with sharks, stingrays, groupers and various fishes. Its an amazing location to go when you are in Sentosa. The kids will enjoy the interactive tank where you can touch the starfishes.

Favorites aspects: -There is a touch pool where you can reach your hand into the water and touch a starfish and sea cucumber. The sea cucumber was so soft I was almost delirious (in a good way). -They have a good variety of fish and sea animals. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the posters to learn a little more about each species! -They have a giant octopus and dolphins! I also really enjoyed the jellyfish section...really beautiful creatures. -Family friendly activity - this is one of those tourist activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Oh sweet Jesus. This place is AMAZING. I can't help but wonder how Underwater World is going to survive, now that this behemoth of an aquarium is large and in charge. When you first enter the building, there's this huge ship in the middle of the hall, almost reminiscent of what Noah's ark would've looked like. Before you enter the actual aquarium, you walk through an exhibit that showcases the history of sea trading amongst Southeast Asian countries. Lots of stuff to look at, some interactive, great for kids, but not my cuppa tea. Then you go downstairs, and that's where the fun (at least for me) begins! Similar to Underwater world, you walk in a tunnel that has a moving walkway, which surprisingly wasn't functional on the both times I was there. You are then surrounded by awesome fishies swimming around. But wait- there'sh mooooore! There are various aquariums of different shapes and sizes, each with different underwater denizens. So many pretty colors! If you're on instagram, there's seriously no need to use any filters. The one aquarium that steals the show is the "Open Ocean". It's apparently the world's "largest window to the ocean", according to the official website. It is out of control, and out of this world! I love watching the sting rays swim along, and the schools of fish that swim above and below them, almost as if they're catching a ride. The background music they play is a bit ominous, though... but it reminds me of the beginning of Beauty and the Beast, when they were telling the story with the help of the stained glass windows. (Anyone remember that???) My second favorite is the "Shark Seas", which is basically a tank full of sharks. The only thing that would make it more awesome is if they had frikken laser beams attached to their heads! So if you're like me and not interested in learning how to scuba dive any time soon, make a trip to the SEA and enjoy!

Wonderful aquarium! We went on a Saturday afternoon so it was quite crowded but we still enjoyed ourselves. They have a great exhibit on sea trading between countries when you first enter and a ginormous ship front that opens for a show periodically. We didn't stay to watch that performance- I wanted to get to the fish! The underwater tunnels are great- lots of different sea life swimming over you. The moving walkways were not working and it was very crowded in this particular area. Not for the claustrophobic. The tanks once you pass by the tunnels are where it's at for me. I particularly enjoyed the jellyfish and the seahorses. Some tanks have magnification bubbles to allow you to really see the creatures up close. Too cool. The open ocean tank is the main focus of the aquarium. It's supposed to be the largest in the world. There's stadium style viewing in one part and a ocean view area that juts into the tank in another. I would compare this to the ocean view at Atlanta, Georgia's aquarium. The main difference between the 2 is that Singapore's doesn't have the whale sharks. Don't get me wrong it's impressive and worth sitting down just to watch everything circle by you- Maybe they will put some larger fish in to the tanks in the future? We really enjoyed our visit and I would go again- just not on the weekend :)

You'll not find a finer aquarium anywhere on either the Western or Eastern hemisphere. If you want your jaw to be dropped for several hours seriously check this place out.

This is really cool place to visit and it really made me feel like a kid again. If you don't have much time in singapore and it is raining outside I would recommend to come here. We ended up spending 3 hours here. The tickets for 2 adults are under $70.00 to get in. However it costs $4 for a return journey on monorail.

I only got to spend a little over a day in Singapore, but this aquarium was my favorite spot to visit. It's a huge place, but also not so big that it's overwhelming. It took us about 2 hours to walk through the entire aquarium. There were several exhibits, and everything about the aquarium was well organized and nicely spaced. It was just so absolutely cool, but only if you like sealife and a museum type atmosphere.

If you love sea animal, it's definitely a place to visit. But if you don't, it's still a place that is recommended to go. But avoid going on public holidays as the place got a little too crowded. There's also a typhoon show that cost $2 before entering the aquarium. It's a nice experience but not a must go. Just be prepared to get a little wet. ^^

Don't miss simulation Hurricane Ship Ride on 180 degree big IMAX screen, the seats moving with storm, and get splash with real water on the seating area, thrill ride with only extra $3 (Sin) for 15 minute ride. Aquarium admission relatively cheap (special fare for local residents) compare to other country aquariums. The S.E.A. magnificent wide screen aquarium one of the best in the world; beside the beautiful entry aquatic tunnel. I never seen any aquarium cover so many rare fish of the world. I wish they place some benches to accommodate seniors to rest along the big screen aquarium stage area. There was scheduled underwater fish feedings and special Chinese New Year celebration event with Lion dance in the big screen pool. On the plaza there are budget Asian food court with affordable local foods. I recommend take monorail from the mainland Habour Front MRT station to Santosa Island. Singapore tourism still have handicap accessibility problems around the tourist attractions.

I got discounted tickets through the cruise I was on. I was quite excited because the advertisement had a picture of a whale shark, which led me to believe they had one. The exhibits were clean, informative, and well laid out. What they lacked was a whale shark. What I found instead was a mural painting of a whale shark. There were much better things I could have done with my day without being bamboozled.

S.E.A. stands for South East Asia From what I heard, this is the biggest oceanarium in the world. They even have a maritime museum upstairs. The aquarium is real good. You can see lots of sea creatures behind those immaculate aquarium glass walls. The main attraction is the gigantic tank, I forgot what is the name of this zone. You can sit and relax in front of the said tank. Sometimes there will be divers waving at you from inside the tank. My only complain is the fact that it is too crowded on the weekend and public holidays. I felt as if I was trapped in a submarine with a plethora of people buzzing around.

Not the best aquarium I have seen. Sure there are a lot of tanks but it is so crowded you can't see much. I saw more people taking selfies than fish. It is really annoying. Anyway I liked the old aquarium better.

This by far was the best Aquarium my family and I have visited. It's filled with huge aquariums filled with lots of sea life. My children enjoyed it tremendously during our time in Singapore this past February. If you're traveling with kids, this is a must see during your trip. The aquarium is located in Sentosa which has a lot of neat restaurants and attractions. Universal Studios is also close by.

World's largest aquarium. It is amazing, overwhelming and yet peaceful. I will definitely go back if I visit Singapore next time.

We visited and were impressed so we asked about annual passes and they're sold out! Definitely great place for kids and adults alike. It's all indoors so a good place to visit on unbearably hot days or dreary rainy days.

The place was big and beautiful! We were allowed to touch the starfish too. You can take the fish-shaped hat home as souvenir too! :) The open ocean is huge! You get to see many fishes (big and small sizes) swimming together in that huge tank! There were many different species of sea animals! I enjoyed my time at the World's largest aquarium :)
