What can you see?
Explore the freshwater and marine tunnels separately
The aquarium displays are divided among several buildings. Building 2 has freshwater tanks and a freshwater tunnel; Building 3 has a marine tunnel and a separate shark tank. The exhibits depend on which building you enter.
The freshwater tunnel in Building 2 features river and lake fish, while Building 3’s marine tunnel features sea life. The aquarium does not connect all its displays through one tunnel. Check whether your chosen ticket includes Building 2, Building 3 or both.
The shark tank after the marine tunnel
Suphan Buri’s provincial tourism information describes taking the escalator down in Building 3 to a long marine tunnel. After seeing marine fish, rays and sea turtles in the tunnel, the separate shark tank features sand tiger sharks, leopard sharks and blacktip sharks.
The long marine tunnel in Building 3 features sea fish, rays and sea turtles, followed by a separate tank with sand tiger, leopard and blacktip sharks. The tunnel and shark tank are distinct exhibits, even though both are in Building 3.
Distinguish the aquarium from the wider lakeside complex
Bueng Chawak is the name of a broader lakeside attraction complex that also includes animal areas. Confusing the general animal areas for tigers, lions and birds with the aquarium buildings can lead to a different visit scope than expected.
The lake, general animal areas, Building 2 freshwater exhibits and Building 3 marine exhibits are separate locations within the Bueng Chawak complex. Leave time to move between buildings and ticket counters. Do not assume that foreign-adult rates, child eligibility and building inclusions are the same across tickets.
