Official tour information ↗What can you see?
Coral reef fish, seahorses and jellyfish on B1
On B1, exhibits explore different environments, including coral reefs, rainforest and jellyfish. The reef area features brightly colored fish such as clownfish, while the seahorse area shows how seahorses use their tails to hold onto seaweed as they feed.
The seahorse exhibit explains how they grip seaweed with their tails, while the jellyfish area lets you watch their transparent bodies move through the water. From clownfish on the reef to aquatic plants in the rainforest display, the exhibits change from one environment to another even on B1.
Look down at sharks, then look up in the tunnel
At Shark Walk, look down through a transparent acrylic floor at the shark tank below. Find sharks swimming beneath your feet: this display lets you see them from above, unlike viewing them from beside the tank.
In the Ocean Tunnel on B2, tanks extend above and beside the walkway. Compared with Shark Walk, where you look through the floor, the tunnel gives you a completely different view of the same large fish.
Gentoo penguins, a rocky shore and starfish
The Penguin Ice Playground on B2 features gentoo penguins. The Rocky Shore area separately presents turtles and African penguins. Although both displays include penguins, they feature different species in separate environments.
At Rockpool, you can take a close look at starfish in several types of tank. A close-up display does not automatically mean you may touch the animals; follow the contact instructions for each tank.
Choose between the aquarium and additional experiences
The operator recommends allowing at least 90 minutes to visit the aquarium. Set aside time for the exhibits on each floor rather than treating it as a quick stop between shopping at Siam Paragon, so you can explore from the seahorses to the tunnel and penguins without rushing.
Alongside standard aquarium admission, combined products such as a boat ride or 4D experience are sold. What is included varies by ticket. Viewing the feeding sessions included with admission is also different from a paid behind-the-scenes tour. An advertised starting price does not necessarily apply to every adult or experience.
Before you visit
Last admission is one hour before closing
The dedicated opening-hours information lists last admission at 19:00 and closing at 20:00. If visiting in the evening, arrive before the last admission time.
Check the ticket type for adults and children
Do not treat the lowest online price as the adult admission price. Select your visit date and the number of adults and children, then confirm whether the ticket covers standard admission or a package with additional activities before paying.
