What can you see?
From the Himmapan Forest to river fish
Mystic Forest explores the Himmapan Forest of Thai mythology, with small and large freshwater fish and an underwater landscape with aquatic plants. The connected Canopy Walk offers views of freshwater fish in a space inspired by the tree canopy.
At Jewels of the Jungle, look at reptiles; River Cave recreates a flowing-water cave and features Asian small-clawed otters. After seeing freshwater fish in the Himmapan Forest, continue to the reptiles and otters.
Penguins and rays before the large marine exhibit
Coastal Haven presents penguins and sharks in a rocky coastal setting. Stingray Bay has exhibits devoted to coral and different rays, bringing together coastal environments and the movement of animals in the tanks.
South China Sea is the aquarium’s largest marine exhibit. After the freshwater fish and otters, walk to the large ocean tank. With children, look at each tank while recalling the animals you saw in rivers and at sea.
A shipwreck story, jellyfish and the touch pool
The Largato area also tells the story of the U.S.S. Largato, a vessel sunk in the Gulf of Thailand. Alongside the tank exhibits, you can learn about the shipwreck behind the display.
Station Aquarius has jellyfish exhibits and a touch pool. After looking at the jellyfish, you can join the activity permitted at the touch pool. Follow staff instructions in the designated area when handling marine life. Families interested in otters, reptiles and sea animals can set aside time to explore between shopping stops.
