    Most amazing aquarium, must visit with kids!
    Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World is definitely among the best aquariums in the world! It's situated in the basement of Siam Paragon Mall and will take 1-3 hours to finish (depending on how many feeding shows you want to see). There are plenty of top quality exhibits to see & we can witness some beautiful marine creatures very closely. They also have a small cafeteria with food available inside. Their Glass Bottom Boat ride was average & can be missed as the glass bottom was small & there's a much better view from the glass tunnels instead. The kids just loved the penguin & shark feeding shows, so plan your visit accordingly as Shark Feeding is not done every day.

    Not a large facility but a pleasant environment to spend a couple of hours.
    Would like to drop a review bouquet for the lovely folks at the aquarium. We did the glass bottom boat experience and the lovely guide was enthusiastic and warm hearted. My son who is a massive fish and marine life lover had a delightful time. We also took part in a DIY tote bag making activity and the craft ladies were so friendly and patient. We had a great time completing the totes. Overall the aquarium is very clean, with gleaming tanks and a peaceful, pleasant environment. We have been to a few sealife aquariums around the world and this facility is one of the tops on our list in terms of cleanliness and care. More educational outreach could be carried out though. It would be lovely to have activity sheets or roaming guides to share more about marine conservation and sustainability to the children.

    Fun activity for all ages
    When I came to visit Siam Paragon during my trip to Bangkok, I ran into Sea Life located on the lower level of the mall. A little pricey but I figured why not, I’m on vacation. So how was it? It was a pleasant experience. Beautifully kept aquariums with exotic fish, reptiles, and other animals from the Amazon, Africa, and other parts of the world. Along with that there is an amazing shark tank. Great for all ages, there was Sea Life Mascots that looked like Nemo and a starfish. Caramel popcorn, snacks, and drinks are available while enjoying God’s amazing creations. I would definitely recommend this for all, especially those with little ones.

    Sealife Bangkok Ocean World
    Sealife Bangkok Ocean World is a great place to feel the marine life especially for kids. Very well curated aquarium with so many varieties of marine species. Toilets are available inside as well as some small refreshments to buy.

    A must when in Bangkok
    Great venue. The attraction is in the basement of the Siam Center. The price is right. The aquarium is well done. Many sea creatures and penguins. The tanks are very large and the viewing is excellent. As nice an aquarium as any wr have seen in the world. Your visiting time is approximately 1 and 1/2 hours. Great fun. We took the skytrain to get there.

    Must visit across all ages
    Fantastic place to get immersed in the aqua world and its residents. Best time to visit would be the first half and get online tickets as you get direct entry. The overall tour takes roughly 30-45mins but you can time it with the feeding schedule (check photos). The place has almost every variety of sea life you can dream of and watch them up close. Best part of this place are viewing galleries with large windows where you can just sit and enjoy the sea life go about their lives.

    Good overall experience
    We visited the Sea Life Aquarium in Bangkok, and decided to go for the ticket with the 4D Movie, the glass boat, popcorn, and Madame Tussauds. The ticket while a bit expensive is worth the price, as it is valid for 7 days, and also includes photos, and a visit to Madame Tussauds. The glass bottom boat experience is itself also very nice. Would recommend to all who like such experiences.

    A reasonable aquarium
    This is a good aquarium though seems to be smaller than some that i have been to. It filled up a good hour or so and the kids loved the penguins and otters. The shark tunnel is also a highlight. The ticket is good value when bought with madame tussads together. It was a little unclear what time feeding times were and once inside staff were not very visible. A rainforest area has a few reptiles and so on but is not bery impressive but otherwise its a good hot or rainy day activity for the kids.

    great aquarium experience
    the aquarium is well designed with many différents rooms (jelly fish room, jungle room etc). you can see a lot of species of the region (sharks , etc) at an extra cost, you can also navigate on a see through boat above sharks and various fishes it is a nice experience the tickets can also give you access to a local 4D short movie projection… this was not necessary (the movie is not related to the ocean experience) and not great experience (also a lot of the seats that are suppose to give you the 4d experience were broken , and youngest kid actually ended up on one of of those unfortunately)

    Entertaining for kids
    Great experience for little kids. There were lots of interesting sea life. They have several types of sharks and my daughter loved seeing them, I paid for an upgraded visit that was supposed to include a clear bottom boat ride and never figured out where that was.

I found the whole experience to be very upsetting. They boast that they have 50,000 animals but in this small space, you can see they are overcrowded and those poor otters and penguins that never see sunlight? It's tragic. I wish I had never visited. It was simply awful.

Perhaps I have been spoiled by some US aquariums (like the Shedd aquarium in Chicago in particular) but this aquarium did not seem to be very big. For the price they charged (over 30 USD), I did not think that it was worth it. The aquarium has some cool fish and I enjoyed the octopus at the beginning. If you like aquariums and don't care about budget then you can go but it's definitely not a must-see attraction.

Sea Life was ok, nothing spectacular. Rather expensive if you compare the non-local fee to the local fee. However, it's a decent option if you need to escape the heat! Took my 7 and 9 year old kids who enjoyed it. They were hoping to see jellyfish and a whale shark (there were none)... We got there as soon as it opened and so there were no queues. We spent about an hour there in total. Might have been able to stretch it a bit longer if we didn't go so early and watch some of the animal feedings. We didn't go on the glass bottom boat out watch the 4D movie. Our tickets included the Madame Tussauds experience which was located nearby (two shopping malls away but very walkable).

I wish I hadn't spent s dime for such a horrendous place. Animals are kept in a very small space, barely resemble their natural habitats. What's most upsetting for me is "Diving with Sharks". They should cancel this program. The only way to dive with sharks is in the real ocean, in their natural habitat, not in the tank.

Dear Wichayaprom, Thank you very much for your comments on your recent visit. We are disappointed to hear that your visit with us did not meet your expectations. About Dive with the shark experience, it is the spot activity that many tourists interested. We’re trying so hard to manage this activity to get our guest have a great experience. And more concern about health and safety so the lead diver is high level of experience and all equipment is good standard follow by our policies. Thank you again for your time and we hope to welcome you back to our attractions in the future. Yours sincerely, SEA LIFE Bangkok

Beautiful designs and layout. Plenty was wild life to see and enjoy. Lots of things to do while there. It can be crowded too.
I didn't like that there is a much higher charge for foreigners than locals.
I was charged 1000 bahts vs my girlfriend who is local only 500 bahts.

This aquarium is at the bottom of the mall Siam Paragon in the centre of Bangkok.
You can take Bts and exit at Siam station.
Aquarium is relaxing and obviously suitable for young and old.
Maybe the best attraction is passing in a gallery inside a big fish tank, you will see Sharks and other fish literally passing over your head.
So Aquarium deserves a visit, but it is a little bit overpriced. The adult fare base is 1000+ thb and If you want to add other service/attractions the ticket will cost more.

Bangkok Sea Life Ocean World is undoubtedly one of the finest destinations I have had the pleasure of visiting. This remarkable attraction boasts an impressive array of marine species, captivating visitors with its modernized interior design. However, it is worth noting that the only minor drawback lies in the slightly steep price of the entrance ticket.

The aquarium is located in the basement of the Siam Paragon shopping complex in the center of Bangkok.
Tickets are ordered online in advance. There is a long wait in line.
The aquarium is not very large, but well designed and laid out.
There are quite a lot of people, but no one interferes with the viewing.
It is air conditioned and has toilets inside.
You can spend interesting 1-2 hours with pleasure, especially if you come with children.
Feeding penguins is very interesting. It's good to try to get there at this time.
They offer a combined ticket with Madame Tussauds on site; we decided without Tussauds.
A walk through the gallery inside the large aquarium is mesmerizing.
Overall very good, but overpriced.

האקווריום ממוקם במרתף של מתחם הקניות Siam Paragon במרכז בנגקוק.
הזמנת כרטיסים מקוונת מראש. יש המתנה ארוכה בתור.
האקווריום אינו גדול במיוחד, אך מחושב ומסודר היטב.
יש די הרבה אנשים, אבל אף אחד לא מפריע לצפייה.
הוא ממוזג ויש בו שירותים בפנים.
אתה יכול לבלות 1-2 שעות בעניין, במיוחד אם אתה בא עם ילדים.
האכלת פינגווינים מאוד מעניינת. זה טוב לנסות להגיע לשם בזמן הזה.
הם מציעים כרטיס משולב עם מאדאם טוסו באתר; החלטנו בלי טוסו.
טיול בגלריה בתוך האקווריום הגדול מהפנט.
בסך הכל טוב מאוד, אבל במחיר מופקע.

Sea Life is one of best aquariums we visited from all we visited around the world. Our 20 month daughter loves zoos safaris and aquariums and this on was a special one with many different species.

Only thing I didnt like was that we couldnt reenter with same ticket on same day.

This aquarium highbred is pretty good. It offers a large shark tank aquarium, penguin exhibits, sea turtles, lots of seahorses and many areas to view the exhibits from multiple angles. We spent 2 hours here admiring the serenity of the place and could have spent much more time.

We went with the 700 THB late (after 5 pm) admission to save a little. It seems like we might have been there during a maintenance period as there were a few small empty exhibits. As we went there later they shut off the lights in the penguin exhibit and the otters were MIA. We still felt we got our money's worth, but it might be worthwhile to go earlier in the day to see all the creatures.
